U4GM - Warborne Above Ashes: 22 PvE Route Optimizations That Save Time
Efficiency is key in Warborne Above Ashes, especially when grinding through PvE content. Whether you're farming materials, completing dailies, or pushing leaderboard times, optimizing your routes can make a huge difference. After countless hours of testing, we’ve compiled 22 route optimizations that’ll save you time—and sanity.
Why Route Optimization Matters
In Warborne Above Ashes, wasted movement means wasted resources. Efficient routing lets you maximize loot per hour while minimizing downtime. Some of these optimizations are subtle, like cutting corners in the Warborne Solarbite zones, while others involve skipping non-essential mob packs entirely.
Top 5 Quick Wins
Desert Scar Skip – Instead of clearing the full loop, cut through the canyon’s eastern ridge. Saves 20+ seconds per run.
Frostfang Bypass – Hug the left wall in the ice caves to avoid triggering unnecessary elites.
Solarbite Rush – In Warborne Solarbite areas, prioritize the glowing nodes and ignore scattered trash mobs.
Temple of the Dusk Shortcut – Use the crumbling pillar jump to skip the first wave entirely.
Marshland Pathing – Stick to the shallow water edges to avoid slow-moving zones.
Mid-Game Efficiency Tips
If you’re farming mid-tier materials, focus on loops that chain objectives seamlessly. For example, the Ironvein Mines into Emberwatch Outpost route lets you complete two dailies in one sweep. Players looking to buy Warborne Solarbite upgrades later will appreciate the extra time saved here.
Endgame Speedrunning Tricks
For leaderboard chasers, every millisecond counts. Advanced tactics like animation-canceling during transitions and pre-stacking buffs before boss fights can shave off full minutes. One underrated trick? Resetting certain zones by teleporting out just before the final kill—this lets you rerun high-yield segments without full reloads.
Community Insights
The Warborne community, including forums and U4GM discussions, has been invaluable for refining these routes. If you’ve got your own optimizations, share them—you might just discover the next meta strat.
