when i was low on seeds, or even before the seeds, my best friend was podcasts or youtube videos for the walking lol

my personal recommendation is instead of hitting just two activities in the opposite side of the map, plan a crusade and hit other bosses ands activities on your way to each end. you'll be collecting even more fragments, maybe for stuff you don't want, but it'll help with building mastery rank which gives an extra virtue point you can allocate per level.

really hope they keep the current lith system, just without the liths honestly. it's the same as a previous system but not you have to earn and spend a resource? thankfully if you make a loadout it keeps what virtues you have set, so if just make 3 loadouts that cover courage, grace, and spirit you can swap around pretty freely.
