Ok,been lvling a gwf for the artifact before 2X refinement.So I get to 60 get 10k GS then get 3 boons,1 from dragons,1 from Shar, and 1 from DR.Go to the guy and it says 3 boons from Shar. or DR.Go back and get 2 from Shar. and 1 from DR that's
3.Go to the guys and no go.So I'm guessing it's 3 from just one of them.That's just dumb,I know they made it that way so gold spammers can't get in there that easy.Now it's going to take 7 days for DR to get 2 more boons or 6 days for Shar.That's cutting it close.

So do you guys have any tips for getting them faster ?...and not the paying 50$ to unlock them lmao.

    Yea, its number 3. You need to have the third boon from Sharandar or Dread Ring campaigns. Not just any three boons

    Just focus on DR, its much faster to get the third boon there then Sharandar.

    It is three from one. I don't think its for gold spammers. The stuff in there is harder than open world enemies anywhere else. Pretty sure they just made it so you have more time to gear up at 60.

    As for the easiest way, for me it is Dreadring. You usually don't even have to do the open-world quests there. Do the weekly quest and the daily lair. Turn in your obsidian for scrip. Only do the open-world quests if you need more scrip. Get the third boon in a couple weeks, little effort.

    The only way to really speed things up are to make sure to never miss the weekly bonus missions, and make liberal use of the 6 day invocation reward chests.

    Yeah Dreadring is the fastest way. It takes 13 days to get the 3rd boon there. Provided you play everyday.

    Definitely a better use of the invocation rewards than the 7 day chests -- unless the RNG demons are extraordinarily kind to you, the 7 day chests will never* drop a Coal Ward (although my main, who has finished DR & Shar boons takes the 7-day chest now ... might as well].

    The one big benefit of doing Shar, to me, was picking up Fey Enchants for utility slots (or selling). Using 3 of them at once drops a fairly constant stream of Rank 4 enchants, which can add up quickly. I've been saving them for double RP weekend, of course :)

    Thanks guys,but like I said I'm trying to get there before the 12th of this month and 2X refinement for the the GWF artifact.As of right now the Shar. might let me make it....be close.Just need 18 Iliyanbruen Blades for it and that's just 6 days to do.DR is like 7-8 days and would be past the time I'm going for.Just think it's dumb that it's got to be three from one and not combined.Have three boons from one isn't going to make IWD any easier. My gwf only like 8 days old,wish i started it sooner.Just didn't think IWD would be that long to get into. Be nice if i could take the stuff from my other guys to give to him.I've got way to many leftover things from run tho area i don't what to do with them.

    If you have eight days left that means by Friday you would have 4 days left or so. You can go to the auction house and buy Priceless Thayan Attiquties, you turn them into a guy in the dread ring. Those give you enough currencies for 1 day (1cypher- 10 scrolls and 15 scripts). There about 70k each but that's the only way you can do it faster besides getting the chest from invoking. I did this earlier to get my 3rd boon to get the class artifact.

    I bought 3 small price to pay to get it before 2x refinement weekend.

    You do already have one char that can get to IWD, right? Iirc, you need two chars that can get to the market plaza in IWD, before you can get the quest.

    Thayan Relics/Antiquities were actually patched so they each give 3 ciphers now in addition to the other stuff.

    Might of just been trolling. Im at work and if this was the fact I was about to go buy out the entire AH of them because that'd basically triple their value. lol

    I never troll, but I might have made a mistake, for which I apologize. I haven't used any relics since they started to include ciphers at all. I think I got the quantity mixed up with the pre-nerf celestial coin chest.
