Farming 1 T4A to get Valiant

I need 1 more full T4A to get my 2nd R3 and Valiant.
Which is the easier feat: fully exploring 9.1 (nets 85,000 shards) or fully exploring 8.4 (nets a fully formed T4A)?

Unless time is your most important factor.

Time is slightly a factor. It would be nice to get Valiant before the monthly reset. Because honest, I could wait until Battlegrounds reset, do my 5 fights, and then just buy the remaining 13,000 shards I need from the BG store. I'm just impatient lol.
It's a shame there's nowhere quick and easy to go grab 13,000 T4A shards. I've spent all my glory too.

It takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes per path so you'd be done in about 6 hours or less if you haven't touched act 9 yet. Act 8 exploration is the easiest but also takes the longest. Crucible exploration takes like 4 hours and is difficult. Necro is fairly simple, but you're looking at over 3 hours and a ton of revives if you're not experienced there.

Defo 9.1

Thank you very much. Appreciate the breakdown.
I've not played around in Necro at all, though I do have a R5A Sig200 Aegon in the wings for it when I do. The revives thing is my hang-up there. I only have about 20 lvl2's and only about 700 units atm.

With that info and time as a factor, do 9.1. you won't be able to do Necro with Aegon in 20 revives.
Crucible, you'd have to plan very carefully.
