You do not need all purple equipment to reach a high combat power. Some players go for full purple, disregarding blue. This approach takes forever and gets you nowhere. Think about the purple traits and their costs. Blue offers the better route to take. Farming proves easier, and blue remains less expensive in terms of traits.Once you have your blue gear with all traits maxed out, you start to farm purple.
This build does not require any Arch and World Boss gear.
As a casual player, I prefer to avoid guild involvement. In most cases, joining a guild comes with duties. You must stay online daily or complete guild tasks by 18:00 the following day. And what about loot distribution? How fair remains loot distribution with up to 70 players in a guild?Guilds with 5 to 10 players make more sense. I started a solo guild to get minor buffs like Defense and Mana Regen.
Andrew provides an excellent explanation for the reasons.

I recommend starting One-Star Co-Op Dungeons when you reach combat power 3'100. With a combat power of only 1'600, entering the dungeon could lead to a rough encounter with the boss.
Before going full purple, max out the traits on your blue gear. With a solid combat power, farming purple gets easier.
This build does not require any Arch and World Boss loot. You farm the gear in open-world and co-op dungeons.
I suggest tackling Two-Star Co-Op Dungeons once your combat power hits 4'000. Attempting the dungeon with only 2'500 combat power might result in a tough fight against the boss.
I start my rotation with Annihilation Blade, Piercing Strike, Touch of Despair, Annihilating Slash, and Counter Barrier. When the mob has three stacks of Touch of Despair, I use Time for Punishment. Then I cast Decaying Touch, followed by Curse Explosion. The other skills I employ when needed.
With the Shield Survival Technique, I block any Fury Attack.
I start my rotation with Provoking Roar, Piercing Strike, Touch of Despair, Annihilating Slash, Counter Barrier, and Time for Punishment.Controlling Rake pulls mobs to me. With Strategic Rush, I push mobs against walls and stun them (Death's Abyss) or off bridges (Butcher's Canyon). Stalwart Bastion protects the party in dire situations. Blessed Barrier and Fountain of Life, I use to save myself.
Clay's Salvation's Weaken Removal cleanses one firedebuff. I can tank all three fireballs. To pull this off, you have to think and act quickly.
After the Fury Attack of Rex, I get into position whilst casting Stalwart Bastion. I stand as close as possible to Rex to block all three fireballs. Afterwards, I cast Clay's Salvation and maybe Fountain of Life. If the paralysed player stands too close to Rex, the AOE blast could kill me and the player. Before I jump in, I assess the situation.
The "outdoors" drop rate proves abysmal. I farmed Mitrans for hours, but the Handguards of the Resistance never dropped. However, after farming Ork Spearmasters for three hours, I got the Warlord's Shroud. Killing Living Armor Foot Soldiers in Syleus's Abyss 3F-4F got me Warlord's Shroud in only one hour. "Indoors"'s drop rate surpasses the "outdoors" drop rate.Getting any gear from Syleus's Abyss 5F-6F, excluding Demonhoof Head Shaman, should not take too long. After about four hours, I got all the gear from 5F-6F, excluding Shock Commander Plate Armor.
The drop rate in co-op dungeons varies significantly. King Chimaerus dropped the Regeneration Loop in the first run. In comparison, Karnix dropped Karnix's Netherblade after 28 runs.
