Exped 2 nonstop, no really... never stop.

Exped 5 with 5-6 sparkled ships

Exped 21 with 4 sparkeld ships and full of drums

Doing hundreds of 3-2/4-3 isn't going to be cheap, use PVP as much as possible to get some "cheap" xp and choose who you're grinding wisely (don't go leveling Yura if Abukuma, Jintsuu and/or Sendai aren't K2'd yet.)

It's typical for people to stockpile resources 1-2 weeks prior to the event. Depending on how much time you have to babysit your expeditions it's very possible to go from softcap to 100k in a week or so.
