WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
The Achievements window’s Hero’s Journey entries associated with The Buried Sea, Secrets of Faydwer, and Seeds of Destruction.
The October 21, 2026 Live update changed unlock prerequisites for several Hero’s Journey achievements that become available with The Buried Sea, Secrets of Faydwer, and Seeds of Destruction. Those named achievements no longer also require Underfoot, House of Thule, and Veil of Alaris to be unlocked. This is an eligibility check for the affected achievements, not a shortcut through their tasks: each component still has its own objective, access conditions, and credit requirements. Use the achievement and task interfaces to identify an eligible entry, then complete its listed objectives in game.
A Live character on a server where the relevant achievement era is available.
Access to the Achievements and Quest windows.
Ability to enter the zones required by the component you choose.
Open Achievements and locate Hero’s Journey achievements associated with The Buried Sea, Secrets of Faydwer, or Seeds of Destruction.
Select an entry and inspect its current eligibility and listed components.
If the entry is available despite later expansions being locked, choose a component whose zone and task requirements you can meet.
Read the component details, accept any linked task, and note the named zone and objective.
Travel to that zone and complete the objective as written in the task or achievement interface.
Check for component credit before leaving; if credit is missing, review the listed objective and finish any remaining requirement.
Return to the achievement entry, verify progress, and continue with another listed component if needed.
Farming tips
The changed prerequisite applies to several named achievements; check the individual entry rather than assuming every Hero’s Journey achievement is affected.
The October patch’s separate note about optional components concerns The Elemental Planes and The Plane of Time achievements, not these Hero’s Journey entries.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a progression check, not a repeatable item farm. Complete required components until the selected achievement is earned; repeat a component only if its own task rules allow or require it.
Common mistakes
Waiting for Underfoot, House of Thule, or Veil of Alaris before checking: inspect the eligible achievement when its named era is available.
Assuming components became optional: complete the requirements displayed for that Hero’s Journey achievement.
Leaving before confirming credit: verify the achievement component registered in the interface.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the chosen achievement’s required components are credited and its completion is recorded; then move to another eligible progression entry.
