My post on Time-to-Emblem ratios seems to have become quite popular since wow.com linked to it, but there is some disagreement over how long each instance takes. To improve the original post, I’ve set up a series of polls. If you have the time, please fill the questions out to the best of your ability and once we have enough data, I’ll update the original article.

and just think we have 10 more months to run these over and over and over and over and over…

Hmmm, the only ones I know for sure are CoS and DTK — CoS because we make the timer every time, and DTK because we had to do it in 20 minutes so a guildie could keep an appointment. I never expected to do it in 20 minutes and was surprised how fast it went. I suspect we’re actually closer to 15 for it now.
The rest I can’t say — I think they feel longer than they actually are. I’ll have to start watching the clock.

Most of my heroics run about 20 minutes. I know this because only 1 or 2 are done fast enough to beat the 15 minute timer.
One question I have is on CoS – how do you do a CoS “minimal” run? Are people intentionally skipping the timed boss? The fight takes something like 90 seconds and is one more badge…

Yeah, I was waffling on including that one, but did because it’s technically possible to do (or accidentally if someone talks to Arthas early I suppose).
It’s like Gundrak – Eck takes all of two minutes if you chain pull the 6 gorlocs in the first room, but I see people skip him for no obvious reason.
#5 by Gravity on January 7, 2010 - 10:25 pm
I actually don’t have any idea. I don’t pay attention to how long any of them take, unless it’s been a terrible run. Sorry!
