WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Shipwreck Strand events, available rifts, Magic Mirrors, and linked Obscured Chests.

In Shipwreck Strand, participate in events to build Ethereal Key Charges, then spend them at Magic Mirrors to reveal Obscured Chests. This is an event-to-chest loop rather than a fixed chest route: available mirrors and already-opened chests can differ between visits. Rifts can also contribute charges when available. Check a chest’s displayed cost and reward before opening, then use the wallet and collection panel to decide whether another round helps.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Visions of Eternity ownership and Shipwreck Strand access.
  • Wild Castoran Magic mastery for the mirror and chest activity.
  • Ethereal Key Charges from eligible activities.
  • A chest reward or currency goal.
  1. Enter Shipwreck Strand and locate an active event on the map.
  2. Complete its objectives and claim the event reward.
  3. Use an eligible nearby rift as another charge opportunity if one is available.
  4. Travel to a Magic Mirror and interact to reveal linked chests.
  5. Read the cost and reward shown for each chest.
  6. Open a useful chest you can afford and collect its contents.
  7. Check your remaining charges and repeat at another event or mirror if appropriate.

Farming tips

  • Save enough charges for the chest types that match your goal; do not assume all openings cost the same.
  • Pair the loop with nearby map completion while traveling between events and mirrors.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat while eligible activities and useful chests are available. Charge gains and chest availability vary, so the loop does not guarantee a set number of openings.

Common mistakes

  • Spending charges before reading the interaction: inspect each chest’s cost first.
  • Following a static path as if every chest were available: use current map markers and visible mirrors.
  • Leaving useful charges unspent: check nearby mirrors before changing maps.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you reach the reward goal or no useful chest is affordable; return to events when you want to rebuild charges.
