If you don’t mind some cheesing, you can pop in single player every day for 3 minutes and craft 400-600 or so Dragonbone Arrows for your daily maximum of 8 Battlepass levels. Turn down server crafting time settings and you can just pump them out in half a minute if you already pre-fill the benches.

It took me roughly 7-8 days to do the entire thing without a real attempt. The older BP system is where i 100% agree with you though. I only did 1 Battlepass under that system because i really wanted the Relic Hunter gear and i detested that grind one week in.

Though to be fair, i want the full thing completed if i unlock it for what i effectively consider a cash-back for engagement with a one time payment up front kind of deal with Funcom.
