Gold and Fastest Dungeons
SE1 can be done in 4 mins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kmlXw09Rro
CM P3 can be done in 5 mins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBvkUw6Lx54
TA up path can be done in 8 mins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKVAR8tSkrw
It will take longer with unoptimized groups but these are generally easy/fast dungeons.

Don’t forget AC p3. It’s fast and easy. Maybe not as fast as some of the others listed above but you get 1g50s reward instead of just the 1g.
I would add Honor of the Waves part 1, particularly in a group that knows how to fight the last boss (if you just spam 1 with range and spend time taking out the retaliation totem he takes ages).
AC p1 can be even faster than p3, and is also worth 1.5 g.

Pugging it however, is always a gamble…

Absolutely. However, if you go ele yourself you can easily solo at least half the burrows in the Pug Killer room, which is probably enough to allow the dopiest pugs to proceed.
I think AC path 1 and path 2 are each quicker than p3 because those paths don’t have a part where you run around in circles for 30 minutes…

You’re gonna compare this to an average pug? Heck, with an optimized organized group like that you can even do Arah p4 in 10 minutes.
The best dungeons for an average group are:
CoF 1, 2
SE 1, 3
Hotw P1
TA Up
CoE all paths
Arah p2
AC 1,3 (p2 sometimes bugs at the end, where you either have to leave the instance, or lure mobs and kill the npc. Which takes forever cause the NPC is the best tank in the game for some reason)

Arah p2 can be a pug destroyer at alphard now.

In my opinion, here are the list of the easiest dungeons I always do when I’m online.
CoF path 1 and 2
AC path 1 and 3
SE path 1
HotW path 1
TA Up and Forward (forward is fast and easy if you have good party)
Given an average to good dungeon parties, I can finish those in 2-3 hrs. And that is like 12g or something, not really sure.
good thread thank you
CM 1-3 are pretty fast too, but not many ppl like it

I like running those but most pugs don’t know the run, or they have different styles. Some people fight some of the trash to make the runs easier (that last bit is a 20 second fight to clear out the majority of the room, but some people prefer a full skip and risk a faceplant). So many pugs don’t know how to fight sure-shot seemis too, its funny watching them fail on him since he can knockdown lock people who aren’t careful. For the most part i just run with guardian or mesmer there because the reflects can pretty much carry the squishiest of pug groups.
Thank you all very much for your input, now to start up the plow!
Take zerk gear, zerk runners and speedclear dungs. (rewards are different every day bcs of loot ) but for me it is like…
AC all paths
CM all paths
TA fw/up
SE p1/p3
Cof p1/p2
CoE all paths
Hotw p1
Arah – if you know how to speedclear p1/2/3 whatever… but learn how to skip mobs in p1 and help ppl to kill Tar in Arah for 1g ( bcs of this, i make everyday about 10g for helping, easy money)
sell all greens, blues everything, deposit all materials and at the end of the week sell everything via TP.
AC 1,3 (p2 sometimes bugs at the end, where you either have to leave the instance, or lure mobs and kill the npc. Which takes forever cause the NPC is the best tank in the game for some reason)
When you enter the last room, there is a large event circle on the map. Make sure you stay outside of it, because I think the bug is caused by detha being in combat while in the circle. Just run to the right (or left if you go in the left entrance) and make sure the NPC stays outside of the circle until she losses aggro.
