Since it has been ages since I have done this I was wondering, which mission is the fastest to get my armor infused.

Thanks in advance

I think it'd be in the mineral springs.
1. Kill the ice beast:

2. Deliver spectral essence to seer:

Iron Mines of Moladune, hands down.

You can just run to the Seer if you want, otherwise getting there is like 10 minutes anyway.

Iron Mines. Just avoid the Mursaat on the run, not hard to do.

Honestly the whole infusion system is a horrible failure, I have 6 different sets of armor, all of which I need to get infused to use correctly in prophecies. Too bad ArenaNet will never see this message and change the horribly dated system with a more account-bound perma-infusion. However to stay on topic I normally kill the Ice Beast, use 2 Paragon heroes with Incoming (or off profession X/P, etc) and you shouldn't have an issue with speed.

I use the one in Ring of Fire alot... Dont know why. I don't think there are any places where it takes a lot of time.

The ring of Fire one is easier, just do it in nm. beats having to do iron mines over and over.

if your doing a infusion run in iron mines, you run to sear, then go kill the eiloden or whatever, its the easiest and quickest of the lot

Iron Mines Mission hero run
1. Flag your heroes ahead of you so they don't heal you. Charge, fall back, etc, are nice skills for the run.
2. Kill yourself with sacrifice skills.
3. Click on one of your heroes in the party bar so you can see from your heroes point of view.
4. Then flag them over and over again running up till cut scene.

No enemies will be on the map and nothing spawns but 1 or 2 sets of pop ups. You will res after cut scene and then off to infuse.

Honestly, the failure here is that you are too lazy to do anything you need to do, and you want it all handed to you.

My vote is for Iron Mines - overall it is the fastest/easiest method as long as you know the proper route (which should be on wiki).

Edit - and it is.... http://www.guildwiki.org/Infusion

Edit #2 - of course, going to Mineral Springs does have the extra chance of getting an IDS while you're at it.

Who the hell recommends Mineral springs? You have to walk past 6 maps to get there, with high level enemies.

Iron mines: lowest and smallest enemy mob sizes. No Mursaat on the way there, either, which is an important issue to people who actually aren't infused. Also, since everyone gets infused during normal play, you'd probably find Iron mines the mission outpost easiest to get to.

Ring of Fire starts with Mursaat and Jade mobs, so uninfused people could have trouble (heroes are auto-infused, mind, which helps, but OP hasn't clarified what campaigns he has). Also, the Mursaat towers are a )=/#"()$/()"#/ pain in the ass to get past to spawn the eidolon. Also, the fact you haqve to backtrack means the trip is not all that short.

Abaddon's mouth involves fighting your way through a Mursaat fortress, which again can be trouble for the uninfused. Also, it's not really a short trip and involves going past Mahgo Hydras...

A side consideration: if you have several armor sets on one character who hasn't done prophecies, do all the missions infusing one set per mission.

If you're from Elona or Cantha:

1. Get a run from Lion's Arch to Beacon's Perch
- If you join a runner who is "running to Ascalon City" please let him know you'll be leaving at Beacon's Perch. It's only polite. Also, pay him.

2. Get a run from Beacon's Perch to Droknar's Forge

3. Follow the quest, "Seeking the Seer" from "Captain Hugo Bronzebeard" in Droknar's Forge. It takes like 5 minutes, and leads you to Iron Mines of Moladune

4. Play through the mission Iron Mines of Moladune. Bring your armor to be infused, the infusion happens halfway through the mission. Often, people run this portion too, but traffic is very low these days.

Step 3 takes you to Ice Caves of Sorrow. Completion of that mission takes you to Iron Mines of Moladune.
