Playing during timewalking meant pretty much instantly 425 with barely any effort, and once you're at that ilvl you get 430 from regular WQs and like 445 from Emissaries and special stuff. With that ilvl it's not hard to get into lower level m+, thus getting to 440 in 1 week was really no biggie - at which point you're ready for normal raiding. The week after that I got to ~450-455 from doing normals, m+ spam and Visions, the week after that I started heroic and got to ~460. Atm sitting at ~470 in bags just from that.
I also have pretty much all the Essences I need at rank 3 right now. Lucid, Visions, all the rep ones (except the Uldum/Vale ones, those are still 2), all the weekly ones, all done. The only ones i haven't bothered with are the EP, PVP and Island ones, fuck those (although Islands should probably also be R3 by now - even EP could be at R3 with some persistence).
All of this was done solo. No guild, no boosting, not even making groups myself. Just being a tank and playing for like 6-7 days /played over the last 4 weeks.
