For those not aware, one of the objectives for the last part of the season 1 journey is to purify 10,000 Seeds of Hatred. There are also objectives to purify 1,000 and 5,000 in Chapter 4 and Champion (Chapter 6) respectively. If you don't like PVP but still want to complete all the season journey objectives, now's your chance while everybody is busy spamming dungeons and quests to level!
It took me about 20 minutes to collect 11,000. Didn't see one other player or have to kill people to take their Seeds. Here's what I did:
- Run around looking for the special PVP area chests that drop 1,000+ seeds.
- Complete the objectives in the area to get batches of 1,000+ seeds.
- Kill elite packs to get 200+ seeds.
- Kill the little enemies that spawn while the ritual is completing. It seems they have a higher chance to drop seeds than other enemies.
I've never cared about PVP in any Diablo and wasn't aware it's needed for progress. So thanks a lot for this hint - just finished the 10k at 9 am without a single soul in the area.
It's not required to complete the journey. You only need to finish most of it. They said on one of the campfire chats because they knew if pvp was forced on people to complete the journey, there would be riots.
Sorry didn't mean to make it sound like you HAVE to do it. You only need to complete around 75% of each chapter's objectives for it to be considered "completed". 9/11, 9/12, 6/8, etc.
The 10,000 seeds objective in the last part is definitely going to be easier than reaching level 100 or killing Uber Lilith though.
