WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Sergeant Knox in Protector’s Enclave and the Monoliths campaign map.

The four Monoliths regions have different access requirements tied to Sergeant Knox quests. Check the active zone first, complete only its listed prerequisite, then travel through the campaign marker. This avoids spending time on a gate for a zone that is not currently featured.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Level 20 or higher and access to the event campaign.
  • Ability to speak with Sergeant Knox in Protector’s Enclave.
  • The story quest required for the currently active region.
  1. Open the event map and note which of the four regions is the current mainstage.
  2. If that region is locked, visit Sergeant Knox and inspect the related quest requirement.
  3. For Menzoberranzan, complete Whispers in the Dark and A New Ally.
  4. For Northdark Reaches, complete The Call of the King; for Narbondellyn, complete Whispers in the Dark and A Discreet Meeting; for Dragonbone Vale, complete Forging the Shield.
  5. Return to the event panel after completing the applicable story gate.
  6. Use the active-zone marker to travel to the featured region.
  7. Track the relevant event objective and confirm the zone is active before farming.

Farming tips

  • Only work on the gate for the current mainstage if your goal is event farming.
  • Use quest tracking to keep the correct story requirement selected.

Repeat, collect and use

Story gates are one-time per character; the active zone changes weekly, so later rotations may require a different previously unfinished gate.

Common mistakes

  • Completing a gate for a non-active zone: check the event map before starting.
  • Entering a region without the required story quest: complete the Knox-listed prerequisite.
  • Confusing access with event completion: entering the zone is only the start; claim its event tasks separately.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the active region opens and its event objectives are accessible; switch to the current challenge or altar route.
