WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Arcanist’s Hold on the far-left side of the Nighthaven map.
Arcanist’s Hold is a Nighthaven encounter associated with Mageguard pieces and nearby elite chest loot. The boss is not continuously available, so this route depends on the live event state. Join the encounter when it activates, clear the boss and chests, and use any in-game collection or reward progress to track missing cosmetic pieces.
Arrive near the Hold and be ready to join when its encounter becomes active.
Have enough inventory space to review boss and chest rewards.
Travel to the Arcanist’s Hold area and check whether the encounter is active or forming.
When the castle encounter begins, enter and follow the group through the event.
Defeat the Arcanist while staying with the encounter group and responding to combat calls.
Loot the elite chests available after the fight.
Check your collection or inventory for Mageguard pieces and retain pieces you still need.
If the tarot-card objective is present in the current encounter, follow its in-game indication and complete it before leaving.
Return when the encounter becomes available again if additional pieces remain desired.
Farming tips
Spawn timing is variable; do not plan around an exact remembered cycle.
Check the reward or collection UI after each run so duplicates do not obscure missing pieces.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable when the encounter recurs. Individual cosmetic pieces are not guaranteed, and spawn availability should be verified in game.
Common mistakes
Waiting based on an assumed fixed timer: use current encounter activity and switch goals while it is absent.
Leaving before looting the elite chests: collect the post-fight rewards before moving on.
Assuming a tarot-card task is always available: follow its current in-game appearance and requirements.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the desired Mageguard collection pieces are obtained, or leave for another farm if the encounter is inactive or repeated rewards are duplicates.
