WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Petrified Root from Prey Caches
A Midnight Prey event and its completion cache.
Before you go
- Access to Midnight Prey events.
- A character able to complete the selected Prey difficulty.
Farming steps
- Open the Prey activity and select an event available to you.
- Choose the highest difficulty you can reliably complete.
- Follow the in-game event objectives to pursue and defeat the selected prey.
- Complete the event and loot its completion cache.
- Check the cache contents for Petrified Root and collect any other useful rewards.
- Select another available Prey event if you still need the reagent.
- A harder event is useful only if you can finish it reliably.
- Roots are a rare cache reward; combine the activity with other goals instead of assuming a drop each run.
Repeat, collect and use
Prey events can be repeated, but Petrified Root is a chance reward from the cache and each completion is not guaranteed to provide it.
Common mistakes
- Leaving before completing the event can forfeit its cache; finish the objectives and claim the reward.
- Assuming the highest difficulty always yields a root is incorrect; the drop remains uncertain.
- Ignoring cache contents can leave the reagent uncollected; inspect the reward after every completion.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have enough roots for your recipes or when the event’s difficulty no longer suits your gear; return to another root source if needed.
