WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm The Forge, the event chambers and conduits, and The All Seer in Eternity’s Garden.
Shackles of the Ancients is a staged group chain that begins at The Forge and proceeds through chamber captures and underwater conduit work before the All Seer finale. Join early enough to take part in the objectives, then follow event markers as the chain moves. The sequence offers map rewards and can support mirror-chest activity through eligible charges. Use the current event markers to find the stage rather than arriving only for the final encounter.
Before you go Visions of Eternity story access to Eternity’s Garden. A character able to join group events and follow event markers. A Skimmer with Aetherlocation mastery is helpful for underwater conduit stages. A map reward, chest charge, or collection goal. Travel to The Forge and check the event display for the chain’s current stage. Join the chamber capture phase and complete its marked objectives with the group. Follow the next event marker to the conduits. Use the Skimmer where the underwater stage calls for it and complete conduit objectives. Return toward The Forge as directed and join the subsequent boss encounters. Follow the portal north when the chain advances to The All Seer. Complete the finale, claim rewards, and check your wallet and charge progress. Farming tips Arrive before The All Seer stage so you can take part in the chain’s earlier objectives. After claiming rewards, check nearby mirrors if chest rewards are part of your plan. Repeat, collect and use Repeat whenever the meta chain becomes available and its rewards or collection progress remain useful. Each completed chain is a finite event run.
Common mistakes Arriving only for The All Seer: start at The Forge and follow the sequence. Missing underwater objectives: watch the markers and use the Skimmer with Aetherlocation when relevant. Leaving before rewards are claimable: finish the finale and collect its completion rewards. When to stop or switch Stop after claiming finale rewards; continue to mirrors for useful chest rewards or leave when your goal is complete.
