One of the great things about the anniversary event is that yu can run missions which involve no fighting. The great benefit of this is that you can work through a mish in less than four minutes, allowing you to rush through many in an hour, helping you to make better progress with grinding.
I just ran a mish as follows:
- Got mish ticket and activated it.
- Ran to meet the Oracle, avoiding the fight with a smithling.
- Met with her and left.
- Got three brownies and 7500 xps and 15000 info. For a level one character this is not bad.
It took four minutes from beginning to end.
The downside of this approach is that you do not get xps, info, loot, and smith frags from the smithlings. The upside is you can rush through the mishes quickly wih great efficiency. And fight-free mishes are otherwise few and far betrween in this game!
