Tangled depths(not meta crying)
Ooh, that’s rough. The best way I see is to look in LFG about 40 minutes before the meta is due to start, and look for people taxiing for an organizing or organzed TD. At that point you can join the map, and do some of the events while you wait. The meta like gives usually over 100 crystals, so do it enough times and you should be good
The crystals should be pretty easy. I barely play the map and I have more than you need.
There are lots of events you can solo, like the one where you just need to kill chak around the ogre camp.
For the sparks, run around opening the supply caches.
I wouldn’t worry about the gerent bit at all.
Yeah, you can solo most of the events in TD (not saying all are a breeze mind you). I know of at least one in the Ogre camp that can’t be done solo. The Nuhoch ones can, at least right until the end. The Scar ones can be too. Getting crystals is easy, just a little time-consuming. Do events, get your participation up, then remain on the map for the meta. Even if no one is attempting the meta, you get quite a few crystals.
Once you have crystals, you will need Nuhoch mastery 2, which lets you buy Chak Acid from the Nuhoch vendor (Teku Nuhoch or Itzel Village, e.g.). This costs more crystals, FYI. Running around solo to grab crystallized caches is easy. The vast majority of them are in the lanes, you could port into a map you hadn’t been on and grab a couple of dozen caches in a matter of minutes.
A good percentage of the caches drop the Sparks, but not all. It’s going to take awhile to get that many. My suggestion is not to try and do it as fast as humanly possible, because it seems a little soul-destroying. I would run through and grab caches a couple of times a day, running the event cycle once every few days for more crystals and you will have this done before you know it.
It is best to arrive on TD right at the beginning of the Outpost phase when all the events reset. Maps usually have enough players to get through them all. The problem lies 30 minutes after that when all of the events are done and the Meta event won’t start for another hour or more. Players at this point get bored and leave. So make sure you arrive there early.
^^^ Go to TD right before Grent begins(15min or so) you will get a lot for crystals for failing the meta. After that you get to start all of the event in lane. 30m to get the map to t4 after that go do something else. Wait another hour or so to come back and do it again.
