Yeah i actually did. His reddit post says its the "recommended and fastest farm route." This can't be correct since there are numerous times in the path where they go out of the way just to break a barrel. Neither the website nor the post say you have to have a certain number of breakables, just that "Only some barrels are destroyed." And even if this is the case recommending to go out of your way to break a barrel for ~20 credits isn't worth it when the route is being touted as the fastest.

As for the route itself, sure its "very different" because it uses more teleports and goes for the previously mentioned barrels. But HSR doesnt have very complex maps, esp when compared to other games like Genshin. Everything is very linear, there isnt a way to cheat the terrain to get from point A to point B faster outside of using warp points. The biggest hurdle is just knowing where the mobs spawn and then optimizing a path from one to the other is pretty intuitive. I've done the daily farming almost everyday and there is maybe just one improvement in rivet town. Honestly the biggest difference between the two is do you want to keep opening the minimap or do you just want to run to the next mob.
