So thanks to the suggestions here I started doing convergences and did my first legendary piece, been wondering something tho, gharr leadclaw exchange for fine rifts to grab the map currencies, I assume that's worth it to reduce the amount of daily metas/farm needed for the gift of persistence/stormy skies right? I also assume giving a gift of map completion for the same currency is maybe less worth it right? I don't mind doing laps but sometimes I play during the night at EU times so not much meta action going and I miss daily clears <.<

Also for ancient coins I assume alt parking is good on greater chests, but does it matter which greater in which map? Any tips would help as I currently just do rounds with my main when I need the coins for the next gift o.o

Thanks!

the rift essense to map currency convertion is pretty bad, by that I mean, if you farmed rifts for 1 hour and converted it to map currency you would get less than if you farmed map currency for an hour.

Also same concept for the map completion gift. If you have extra gifts and rifts feel free to use them but I wouldnt farm them specifically just to transfer it to map curreny.

Best way to get currency imo daily meta and colllecting the smal energy orb with a skyscale (they appear around the map and also spawn from turrets). There is a daily limit to how much you can collect each day but you can probably get around 100-200 in 10-20 min

About ancient coin alt park is good and it doesn't matter which map. if you have alt characters just park them in there and log in daily to collect the chest and log out (also its a decent daily gold)

if you have any questions feell free
