I farmed T1 for 4 days because I felt I wanted exp and money and eventually caved and started split farming normal with my clan. With an efficient group you can rake in the caches and I got one just as I was about to quit for the day. It can be a war of attrition, but you just have to stay the course and eventually the RNG gods will smile upon you. Normal is definitely the way to go for your sanity.
probably because he wants to get to level 26...
I got mine after 5 long days of grinding. It was awful and I almost gave up, but it was worth it in the end.
