questions about getting boons

How long does it take to get all boons? Is there any faster way or guide to do it? There are only few quests daily and arent even enough to get a boon, in shard I was able to get 2 boons but in dread ring I still dont have any

Can someone tell me how to get these boons in dread or just doing daily quests everyday will lead me to getting them

    I don't have enough info to guess what issue you have in dread ring. But there is a bar with ticks on it. Its basically one tick per day. Count them, to the next boon. Sharandar is a bit more STUPID. Get the first two or three easily, in a week or thereabouts.

    Then pay a bunch of AD to unlock Malabog, to realize that you now have to do the second (which you thought you were done with) AND third zones to get the HAMSTER you need for each boon, several times each, and then note that the boons aren't really all that special.. Then go back to doing skirmishes, dailies, and delves until they come out with something new for you to do. Dread ring is way easier and less annoying than Sharandar.. And the boons are way better.

    EDIT- Also.. in Dread Ring, there is a quest called Red Wizards or something that Knox gives every five days or something like that. Don't miss it. It's important. When you miss that, you can forget about that one tick per day thing..

    They seem to be very time consuming

    You can buy the dread ring treasure troves in the AH.
    if you have enough AD you can get all the dread ring boons in less than an hour.

    sharandar is ridonkulous!

    With Sharandar the bottleneck is the fey sparks. You get 10 per day from the daily quest, another 50 per week from the weekly quest and (I think) 30 every 6 days that you boy with Celestial coins.

    With Dread Ring, you just need to do all the daily and qeekly quests - sure it will take a while, but getting the two first boons is really not that time-consuming.
    Hoping for improvements...

    That is the very point. The boons are time gated intentionally. So folks cant blast past it in a weekend.

    Unable to make enough content?

    Gate it behind huge amounts of RNG and time blocks.

    Buy treasure troves from the ah. Search for "treasure trove" in the equipment section. They cost about 30k-40k AD.

    For Sharandar you need to buy Illefarn relic fragment , for Dread ring you need to buy either Thayan relic fragment or Priceless Thayan Antiquity , all three items can be found on the miscellaneous tab search using Uncommon quality .

    Actually, the minimum time it would take is 31 days, even buying those from what I can tell. How do you get the extra ciphers that you can only get once per day from the daily to fulfill that 1 hour time frame?

    Some people have found a way to not open the quest reward from the lair chest and sell them on the AH. Presumably, whoever buys and opens them gets the cypher and the scrolls along with whatever else it contains.

    this is not working as intended and has already been reported to the devs. i would tread lightly with this bug.

    After launch day of Feywild, I wouldn't touch one if it was given to me.

    Your credit card can't help you here.

    The blades are the daily quest reward in the final part of Sharandar to unlock, and it's takes a little under two weeks to do so from dailies in previous areas.

    There is no way to buy [edit: all your] boons.

    You actually can buy the first two boons from Sharandar as Fomorian Concoctions aren't bound and available on the AH. They can be traded for the crescents you need to get the first two.

    Edited accordingly.

    I don't bother with that now because you end up with so many excess crescents from doing everything else, bumping up getting the first and second boon seems completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

    I suppose it's worth mentioning that you can get sparks from Illefarn relic fragments and from the 6-day celestial coin reward from invocation and sparks are the biggest source of grind in Sharandar. If you like paying through the nose for the sake of instant gratification, Illefarn relics are for you!

    After getting all the other items for an upgrade I just do the Arcane Reservoir for the 50 sparks every Monday. Sure, it takes longer in real-time, but it is a lot less effort and game-time....

    I haven't bought any concoctions myself, but I have sent them to my latest two characters to accelerate their progression. I used to trade them for Unicorn Seals but more salvage items aren't that useful these days and the exchange rate isn't that good anyway. I have been forgoing my weekly peridots* to get more sparks though. It's helped the grind out a bit, though it still takes a lot longer to get through Sharandar than Dread Ring.

    *Amazingly I got two coals and two preservations yesterday, first coals that I've gotten since the change.

    I've gotten into the habit of mostly just doing the reservoir once a week (whenever, as long as it's before the reset), although a daily spark run only has to take a few minutes targetting a short circuit of only powrie/witherer mobs, preferably in a low-pop instance.

    I just do whatever I can stand, really, and make sure the math works out in the end.

    More power to the people who have the stomach to keep grinding out those fey blessings.

    I usually do the daily spark quest and the weekly reservoir one. The reservoir is pretty easy. I only hated it on my GF since the boss' daze attack goes through block. Otherwise it's a guaranteed source of skill nodes and rank 4 enchants. For the spark quest, I try to mix things up, fighting different enemies in the first and second sections. The trolls in the Horrid Mire are probably my favorite, but I've liked NW trolls since my first run through Icespire (ME HUNGRY!). The Southern Fried war trolls crack me up. Plus it gives me things to do with my later characters who aren't going to be running dungeons.

    That's probably the best way to not burn out completely.
