It took about 6 months for me. Getting 1 great hall bonus to 10 was the biggest pain for me. High level dungeons were also tough, but I had been actively working on teams for all of them, so I managed.

I made a post about my Arbiter quest completion. 113 days:

Arbiter and other things | Raid Forum (plarium.com) 

Then of course, it took me about a month after that to get another copy of Arbiter LOL

I think it was...7 months for me? Maybe 8. Was during that period in 2021 where Speed was everything and getting out of Silver arena was hard for me. 🤔

Iam playing more than 6 months but stuck on quest with 10 wins on Spider 14 :)

ged shows us yours champions we can help you

if you're stuck on Spider 14 please feel free to start a thread and drop a screenshot of your champs in there so folks can take a look. :)

Think about same for me.  Definitely 6+

Lol what did you do with second one?

Ya now it's UDK giant wall lol.   Although I recently got gold.  The elhain hero path got me level 3 blessing which helped tremendously to cut through the 

Honestly I would much rather - and this is taking into account how frustrating it's been for some people - deal with UDK than that speed meta 2 years ago. That's putting myself in their shoes, too.

it was much more linear, less flexibility. much, much worse trying to get out of Silver, more punishing Arbiter questline, etc. 

Glad to hear the blessings helped you. :) I wanted to try them out on my alt but frankly just haven't had time. What did you go with? 

completely different landscape now too, I wonder how long it would be to take a fresh account to Arbiter these days 🤔 

I don't have much yet, about 45 days in.  My setup is high khatun, warmaiden, spirit host and elhain. Elhain is my only 60.   Before the blessings I didn't stand much of a chance against UDK, especially with the force affinity.  With blessings, only much better geared UDKs win.  I'm still using the lifesteal gear the game gave me the first week as elhain is my farmer and starter as well.   For a pay to win game, raid is pretty fair I must say, if even a lowly account like mine can get that far. 

Have you tried swapping out spirithost for Ronda? Her A2 is great for shutting down UDK's passives.

It has been a while, so the time it took is fuzzy at this point.... but I do know the route to Gold on the referral was much preferrable to the 9 months I feel like it took to get Arbiter, most of the frustration in that process was a couple or three months going back and farming Speed Gear and fighting for every bit of arena progress AFTER making NM CB top chest. That 300 speed you needed was tough to get in the olden days.

now that grind to gold is basically night and day. back then i needed a 280+ speed deacon to break into gold :)

Only 280? It's an iterative process, and I felt like 270ish couldn't keep me there consistently, so I went back to farming until I could get right at 300.

i reaaaaally wish i had old screenshots handy. might've been more but i distinctly remember needing at least that speed. 

It felt like you needed more cause High Khatun aura had trouble competing with the 30% Arbiter Aura. So perhaps you needed a bit less to float in low Gold if you already had Arbie.

Of course, by the time you got yourself Arbie back then, even F2P like me was pulling other champs you could use in Arena super effectively, like Duchess. :D

7 months and it was a 271 deacon, lol

i

Only 271? Slowest Deacon NA, everyone was saying it.
