I've done some research through theory crafters and content creators but it seems that it's still unclear in Season 11 what's the most efficient way to target farm ancestral items (i.e. legendaries with at least 1 GA).

After lot of hours of farming I've come to my personal chart.

TLDR: during event --> Treasure, after event --> Undercity

• Treasure Breach - Lot of drops, clear is pretty fast. The issues that could compromize this 1st place are obducite flooding the screen and forcing you to waste a lot of time parsing loot and the fact that dungeon layouts often are not optimal, especially when there are 2+ players splitting.
  
• Undercity Ascendance - Very consistent, clear takes less than 1 minute, you can add the 50m mod to get passive amulets which I always suggest to use.
  
• Pit69 - It's basically an Undercity without mods and more time to clear, loot seems to be very similar.
  
• Azmodan - Good for NMD keys and Boss mats but seems to be not efficient for ancestrals, summoning/killing take way more than 1 minute

Some open points I still need to understand:

• Ascendance vs Radiance: while Ascendance goal is very clear, it's not clear what are the odds on ancestrals. Same? Or Radiance not having Mythic drops have better odds on ancestrals?
  
• Other NMD: I've not tested enough the Hidden Armory but after 20-30 runs I was not very satisfied

What do you thing guys?

Undercity

This is the way! Add the 50m and use Tribute of Radiance

Make sure to have the Essence of Anguish placed in the correct slot for a ton of Obols.. 1,000 per run. Very nice for gambling

2nd this for undercity wise

radiance been a gold mine

over 450 runs this current season ( have 120 left )

( while i have tribute of ascendance x581 )

heavily agree on UC as the best source. followed by azmo chests

I was thinking about making Alt accounts to get 4x the drops

is there a trick to undercity im not understanding? even while hopping through everything while using arbiter i dont get anywhere near 1 minute timers.

What do you mean?
You just need to get max attunement fastest way possible (usually big event + 3/4 small events).

i mean i've seen multiple people now say that undercity takes a minute or less. The first guy i chalked up to as just exagerating, but now i'm considering that maybe i'm clearing it incorrectly. No matter how i optimized it when I ran these, 2 minutes would be my average, and i dont think i even got close to a one minute finish. I would play arbiter pally and clear everything just by dashing around and still couldn't hit that time.

Checking the internet.. 2-5mins seems to be average. Sub 2 if you have a fast 4x man group (or a friend or two that can split effectively)

I get about 3x min runs on a slow bloodwave Necro I’m going to start testing other Necro builds to see how fast I can get

Sure seems like 2min runs solo is a great job

Idk, I often finish with 180-300 seconds remaining, but that isn’t indicative of the time I spent clearing, just sometimes quick enough that additional time is accumulating faster than the time I’m running.

I’d say 2 m-3 mins feels right, but never timed.
I can say with certainity never done under 90 seconds
