Guide to 5k Favor - How much can you skip?

[Aneles]

Yes. Front load your favor. Depending on when you start the season, it is wise to do the poor pay favor quests early so you have more choices later, especially later in the season when the LFM becomes thinner. My 2c start early, take your time.

I have a spreadsheet (it needs updating to include the third part of Sharn and the Feywilds) that helps us see what we have to do at each level and what we have done. I keep a sum function at the bottom and we can fill and delete numbers to see what we want to skip. We didn't skip much. Some notables of our skip are:

-We skipped ALL RAIDS AT ALL LEVELS
-Devil's Assault (accidentally; we will probably attempt this in the future)
-ToEE (our group has high mortality on normal servers with reincarnated characters on these quests)
-The third part of Slave Lords (our group has high mortality on normal servers with reincarnated characters on this quest)
-The Restless Isles

I'll probably do the same quests next hardcore. Although with feywild having a good chunk at 5, I can skip a lot more. I pretty much only PUG on hcl, and a lot of levels there was oneeeeeeee or 2 quests where it took days to find a group.
