To get the items from a raid or union event you only really have to spend about an hour or to daily to keep up with the activity.

Catching up is the hardest part, but even that will slowly start to subside as I now have both main elements (Light and Dark) full assault grids with Herc axes (zero stars each) for them. Once you have a full Assault grid, you might want to upgrade the SRs to SSRs as you get a decent return on the investment, but I'm not convinced that you truly have to FLB your SSRs (or at least not the marginal ones) as the return isn't massive. Same thing with bricks from Tower. You don't need a ton of bricks if you are only going to FLB the Assault(L)/Defender(S) type weapons (largest gain).

Take a decent water main that's played for most of the time looking at this event. What would they actually have done and gotten in this event? If I had a full set of level 20 SSR weapons, I wouldn't sacrifice one of them for the Spear. I might have gotten a second Rahab Knife... and FLBed that. Wouldn't bother with the Eidolon also as I'm sure I have a decent Water one and you don't need more than 1 water Eidolon ever... I'd definitely get the SR weapons (all of them) as they're cheap and great fodder for skill leveling. If I needed books, I might pick up some, but you get them for free from Union Events... I currently have like 300+ half pots as you don't really need to spend them if you're willing to play the game twice to three times daily. For a player who is water main... this would have been a very relaxed event. You might have worked a little at it to get some of the really valuable things, but you wouldn't really stress about it. Also note that you don't actually need tons of Orichalcon or Bricks either. Past the crucial amount needed to FLB your best SSRs in your main two grids you don't have to work FLBing other stuff. You'd especially not try and FLB any SSR that wasn't a very strong one either.

I think for really really high level players, Rag events (up to a point) and finally the Accessory Quests are your main daily required farming.

i used to be like you, but when i play like that it take me a whole week to skill leveling an SSR to 20, now thank for gem farm and raid farm/leech to get SR folder, i can do it in 2-3 day
