if you mean farming the grove with a new character and deleting it, remaking it, rinse and repeat.

 

it will take more than 8 minutes each time: you factor in character creation, a cutscene or two you can't skip in the tutorial mission, tutorial itself, teleporting/walking to the grove, with all loading screens compounded it's _probably closer_ to 15minutes more or less depending on how fast one is

You can skip it, if you got a pass like the mistlock sanctuary one for example.

No I mean completing maps does not take hours.

oh i see, so some passes let you in from level 1 lol! that's good to know. some lounge passes like the lily of elon invite (the one i have) require a level 2 (to finish the tutorial) to use.

Fun fact: Using one tome of knowledge in the tutorial instance opens a waypoint outside it that you can use to wp outside the instance.

I never knew that... That’s pretty cool.

You know, I once suggested a new crafting profession around this that maintains the need for transmutation charges but also gives another means of obtaining them:

 

https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/73950/new-upgrade-crafting-aesthetician

 

Granted, that idea is flawed but in hindsight, I could see it more as a lite-craft that only goes up to lvl 100 and have it more aimed at the players that have a gazillion transmutation charges they don't use and turn it into gold by basically crafting sellable charges.

 

Rather than leave the players who spent time farming up charges up a creek by removing charges, now they can capitalize.
