Farming Heralds and how it works?!

Hello fellow Sanctuary Guardians,

I recently came across the

Herald mechanics beacuase I desperetly try to get a

Latent Crack of the Heavens.

I think I understood the different Tiers of

Terror Zones, how a

Herald is triggered and the different Tiers a

Herald can reach up to.

My question is, does a Sunder Charm ONLY! drop from Tier 5 Heralds in Tier 4 and Tier 5

Terror Zones? Because that is how I think it works.

And, because of the fact you have to stay in the game and NOT log out to get a

Herald to Tier 5, what if most of the areas are allready farmed and get terrotized again, do the monsters get reseted even while staying in the game?

Or do I have to refresh the areas by loging out at some point, because there are no mosters left at some point anymore?

Which would ofcourse end up in all Heralds being reseted to Tier 1 and I have to climb up the whole Tier ladder again. from the beginning.

Hello,

As long as you stay in a game, no matter if TZ or not, the game will behave normally in terms of mob presence, so the simple answer is no, ofc they will not respawn in that game, but they will only refresh upon closing said game.

The way I understand how the mechanics behind farming Heralds work - they have a very low chance of dropping one Sunder Charm; even the tier 1 heralds should have a chance, although an incredibly low one at that (probably), but the chances increase towards a sweeter spot from tier 4 on. So, as long as you stay in the same game, farming TZ, and you get to see the "you draw the ire of a

Herald" message pop-up, you have to have enough suitable mobs left in an area for one to become a

Herald. And if you were to TZ all acts, you have a chance to maybe get even to a tier 10

Herald, and even that won't guarantee a Sunder Charm drop.

And yes, by closing a game, the

Herald tier levels will reset, thus you will have to start from scratch again.

I hope that clarifies things a bit.

Good luck! ^^

TL;DR:
- Any

Herald can drop a latent sunder.
- T2/3 have noticeably better odds than T1.
- T4/5 have noticeably better odds than T2/3.
- Chaining more T4+ heralds (i.e. sharding game) is hence more desirable to preserve the better drop odds.
- Actively farming any of it is largely a recipe for disappointment. Keep your expectations realistic.
