So I finally got this (Potentially one of the first in the game) be prepared for a long grind!
Absolution for All - this is worth doing in a 5 man group, as every soul others hand in YOU GET credit for, if you are in range. You can only escort 1 soul at a time as a player.
The inquisitor stones drop all the time, these are not too important. Right click them once to see where the rare is (these can be killed over and over)
Good luck farming the keys! They take forever, outside of the instance there is an interactive bell for 30 Ruby's, this sometimes gives a buff to increase key drop chance for the crypts!
Happy hunting Cryptkeepers!

Just finished this up today along with Exalted Avowed faction. If you're a Venthyr covenant and plan on getting the mount at exalted I would recommend following this strategy below:
First search for a custom group "Avowed rep farm" or "Inquisitor farm" something along those lines to knock out both "It's Always Sinny in Revendreth" and exalted at the same time. This can be done in a raid group and if everyone works together and communicates with stones you can spam the stones at each location in a circuit: Dacian -> Nicu -> Magda -> Aurica -> Radu -> Gabi and repeat this process over and over until exalted (takes about 6-8 hours depending on how fast you go)
As suggested by Exephia the group method is fastest for ghosts but in my opinion if you're having to get get 50 Crypts open anyway you could potential do the ghost solo at the same time. You get credit for turning in the ghost immediately but if you choose to stick around to kill the adds that pop out you'll get an extra 12 rep for Avowed (since I was already exalted from first method I just turned in an ran away to speed up process)
My biggest suggestion with the Crypt Kicker is DO NOT farm anything around the area of the crypts themselves. I would focus farming exclusively the Confirmed Dredgers around /way 47,48 area in all the cubby holes and up above and the Dredgers that spawn around Aurica are on a pretty quick respawn so if you go between the two locations its not that bad overall but is also a long process drop rate is between 3%-6%. If you farm the cryptkeepers or any of the others mobs you'll see a SIGNIFICANTLY lower drop rate. Lastly the crypt rewards can be shared with others who are around but the keys themselves are per user basis so if you farm in a group you could be making the process longer.
Good luck with the grind I'd say total grind time for myself was 10-11 hours total.
So I tried to do this entirely solo in 9.2 with a 230 iLvl Warrior. TL;DR: It wasn't that hard, took me about 4-5 hours of chill grinding. Disclaimer: I didn't come anywhere near Exalted with [faction=2439], only got maybe half way through Honored, but that wasn't my goal.
I started by focusing on Absolution for All, flying around and spamming my
/cleartarget
/tar Fugitive
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)
/cleartarget [dead]
macro. Once I turned in the soul, I gathered and killed a pack of mobs, then returned to the Ritualist and killed the little things that spawned from the absolution ritual. That's how I was gathering [currency=1816] while doing Absolution for All. By the time I finished Absolution for All, I had enough [currency=1816] to kill about 30+ High Inquisitors and get both Grand Inquisitor Sinstones from [npc=160248] to finish off It's Always Sinny in Revendreth.I also checked the bell described by Shkar in Crypt Kicker top comment every hour to see if it can be useful. After I finished both Absolution for All and It's Always Sinny in Revendreth, I logged off my character at the bell, and checked every hour for [npc=176043]. By that time, I was already half way through Crypt Kicker by just farming mobs for previous achievements. Two appearances of [npc=176043] (killing all mobs with the key buff and farming [npc=158892] for 20 minutes that my buff lasted) were enough for me to finish off Crypt Kicker. And that was it for this meta.
