The SSAs have a single rewards timer - it' shared on all of them for the week. The first run just happens to be a freebie.

Also, he could run an SSA on a different character each day to max out the Hero Merits.
DA arcs also share the same table as each other, but they are on a daily timer.

The most efficient?
1. Run as many toons as you have through the fastest SSA arc (e.g., #1.1 which is always under 10 minutes) twice. Once for the Hero Merit and once for the double [EDIT: quadruple] Merits (40 of them [EDIT: 20 of them -- still worth going for]).
2. Use incarnated toons to run the Apex/Tin Mage Incarnate TF duo once a day per toon for the total of 80 Merits for less than an hour's work.
3. Run as many toons as possible through one running of as many 'speed versions' of the various iTrials available for the Empyrean Merits once a day.
4. Always run all your toons through the WST each week.
5. To break up the monotony... keep an eye out for a TFs forming on your grouping channels and join them for fun. There will be plenty of XP and INF and drops and the final Merit rewards to justify it.
You will soon have more than enough Merits, A-Merits, and iMerits to do as you please.

It's quadruple merits, which totals 20. After you've accepted the 20 merit reward, it's replaced with an infinitely-repeatable 5 merit reward.

Still, 20 Merits in 8 minutes can't be beat.

One thing that might not be immediately obvious, even though it's touched on in the summaries given so far, is that having several characters will help. Rewards that are time-gated like SSA and Alignment Merits are, as far as I know, always "per character," but you can alt and run them again if you have the stomach for it.
Also, spending Alignment merits is time-gated -- you can only buy one recipe, for example, every 20 hours. So if you have 20 merits on one character, it will take a while (like, almost ten days) to access them all. But if you have 20 merits on ten different characters, you can cash them all in in one sitting -- no waiting!
Now that we can e-mail recipes, enhancements, and influence to our other characters, the alts don't even have to be on the same server or same faction. My villain on Infinity can mail a recipe to my account name, and my hero on Guardian can claim and slot the recipe, or vice-versa. So not even the number of slots per server limits this strategy.
The game is often called alt-friendly. But the reward system is more than friendly -- it really rewards you for having numerous capable (decently leveled up and slotted) characters.

Heya. I mostly just play whatever content I fancy at the current time whenever I log in. I've decided to try and be more disciplined in my play style in order to maximize my leveling speed and earning of rewards.
So, what are all the activities that are rewarded on daily timers, and then the ones on weekly timers? Assume access to all content.
I kinda figure something alone the lines of:
- 5 tips each day, alignment mission if possible
- run all SSA over the course of the week
- once a week run the weekly strike target
- something to do with the DA arcs
- any extra time working on missions for accolade powers/trials
Does that seem relatively effective? Did I forget anything? Things that can be dropped because they're not worth the hassle? Thank you for your help and consideration.
