Tier 10 Defeat # favored foes.

[sneaker42]

Could someone help me out and tell me what the amount of favored foes in tier 10 is?

I won't be able to reach tier 10 before the event ends.

no need too.
weeks of grind for the same reward as one daily quest that is done in 5 minute.

Getting 1000+/minute at Mad Wizard 16 with Deekin, Widdle, Sentry, Viconia, Shandie, Minsc, Hew Maan, Jaheira, Melf, max speed core + huge speed potion. 1.85e06 should take about 31 hours at that rate. A little under 11 days left in the season.

You should probably replace Viconia with Imoen.

Even better, try replacing Melf with Nerys. Keep Viconia, use the turn undead pick. Nerys has undead as her favoured enemy. Viconia creates undead. Each enemy turned to undead should count double. You lose the +25% spawn speed but gain the double counting.

And then there's Tatyana - she pulls in extra enemies, Hew Mann's speed makes enemies count more for quests which I'm not sure counts for the favoured enemy counter.

That said though, the Viconia / Nerys combination probably needs a bit more testing. I'm on an areas run at the moment so I have Viconia set for Begrudging Respect (to buff Jaheira) and I'm only getting maybe 1 or 2 extra kills per area. I think the turned undead count when they despawn, not when they're created. So you're likely to blitz through the areas before they count.

if i remember right, Viconia's raised undead count too on despawn, if you have undead as FavEnemy (minsc / nerys)

Ring of Regeneration (ToA campaign) has a nice combination for 'favored foe' counts. Combining Minsc and Imoen in one party, and Jaheira and Nerys in another, both parties can have 99% of all enemies killed (undead and beast) count towards favored foe objectives. I've had two background parties going for like this most of the season, and level 10 is nearly 1/2 way finished, all done passively. I could increase the kill rate by at least 30% if I spread Nerys, Jaheira, and Minsc across three parties, running Vecna Loots instead. I say ~30% because Vecna Loots has much sturdier bosses which slow background parties down, and the number of favored enemies is a bit lower, but I don't have an exact speed comparison. I opted for having an extra flex party for background runs of things like variants when called for instead.

If I run any of these groups as my active party, with Tatyanna added to the formation, I could have the remaining numbers done in a day or so, but, well, gem farming takes priority since, as rightly points out, this last milestone quest is worth the same as a single daily quest. Not worth getting into a tizzy over. Heck, I'm still working on Spiritual Weapon kills. If both of them are enough to get me an extra purchase of contracts, I'll work on them together in the last couple days of the season. But not before that. Otherwise, I'll ignore them. If they get finished, that's fine. If they don't, it doesn't matter.

Thanks. Its odd that it is the same reward for a much bigger effort.

Probably because CNE crew is not mathematically proficient.

I don't think the milestone quests are something you're supposed to dedicate effort to, so they don't need the same reward/effort ratio as dailies. They work better if you treat them as hints of what kinds of things you could do during the season. But there always seems to be one which is off balance. Last time it was the ultimates, this time it's the favored foes. I was able to complete all others during normal gameplay by tweaking my formations and putting extra familiars on ultimate buttons.

That is incredible rate, I just used stopwatch on 1000 kills and took me 4 min, 38 secs to hit that.
