Start Date = Thursday 18th June 2020 (16:30 Server Time) End Date = Thursday 13th August 2020 (16:30 Server Time)
A player with Battle Pass bought and Patron sub active will want to start no later than the 19th July to be able to complete the Battle Pass to level 30 with average quest XP. You can spend credits to reroll low XP quests, or directly purchase XP with credits. This will help you complete in even less time. You can see the maths on the main battle pass page and a graph below.
How long is Season Four?
Season Four is 56 days long! It finishes on Thursday 13th August at 16:30 Server Time.
Will we have to complete every quest?
The simple answer is no. If you want to get all the way to level 30 then you will need to earn 600,000 BPXP This is an average of 10.7k per day or 75k per week over 56 days. Weeklies give 10k each. Dailies give between 1k and 3k. Patrons will have 6 dailies to choose from, Non-Patrons get 4. All Players have 3 weeklies. You should always aim to do as many of the quests as you can each day/week. But you do not have to do every single quest to get to level 30!
XP boosts, such as those from Patron, Loyalty and Vials DO NOT increase your BPXP earned.
This graph can be used to see if you are still on track to finish the BP on time, try to stay just above this line!
How many different quests are there?
There are a lot of different quests available; 44 different dailies and 26 different weeklies! Objectives will be massively varied, involving every aspect of the game, including; Dungeons, Raids, Zone Events, Rift Closing, Instant Adventures, Minion Missions, PVP, Rare Killing, Artifact Hunting and more.
Daily Quest Distribution
1x ‘Random Dungeon Victory’: Complete a random Expert Dungeon 1x ‘Random Warfront Victory’: Win a random warfront 2x Random Daily Quests (+2x dailies for Patron subscribers)
Rerolling daily quests will not grant either the ‘Random Dungeon Victory’ or the ‘Random Warfront Victory’ quests.
Rerolling weekly quests will not grant the ‘Anomaly Tamer’ quest.
Requires XP?
Some of the quests will require you to mentor down to the correct level so the content would grant XP. If this is required then the quests will CLEARLY state that the content needs to grant experience. If the quest does not state that it requires experience then you can stay at your current level. This means that a lot of the old dungeon quests can be done solo by level 70s. For the raid quests that require XP, only the players on the quest need to mentor, other players can join in and help out and stay at level 70, this will help make the raid much smoother! You can find a guide to mentoring here.
Dungeon quests will generally ask you to complete a specific dungeon, or to complete a random dungeon using the LFG system, or to kill a specific boss in a specific way. You do NOT need to mentor down unless the quest specifies that you need to get XP from the kill. You can find a full list of Dungeon entrances here.
Be sure to check if the quest requires Standard or Expert mode, you can change the mode by right clicking your portrait and selecting Dungeon difficulty. You need to be the group leader to do this.

Harvest Poison/Burning/Nightmare Artifacts P/B/N Artifacts are found in Stonefield, Gloamwood and Planetouched Wilds.

While you have the sight buffs active you will take ticking damage, so make sure you have some self heals in your spec. You can use Patrons Artifact Tracking Vial to track all these artifacts on the mini map, or you can use the OPIE mount to track a specific type of artifact.
Fool’s Gold – The Golden Devourer is an open world boss found in The Dendrome. You will want to bring a good group of at least 10 level 70s.. the more the merrier! You do not need to mentor down for the kill (this may be wrong now, will update when I have tested, best to mentor down to be sure you get credit for now). If Senbora the Devourer has already been summoned then you wont be able to summon the Golden Devourer on that shard til it is dead/despawned.
You first need to summon the Golden Devourer by entering a cave in the Expert Nightmare Coast Dungeon, go into the cave that the stream runs into towards the East of the map (you do not have to kill anything in the dungeon). Run towards the fire, then you will gain the ‘golden mark’ buff and be ported straight to the Dendrome. You will be ported into a cave, leave via the tunnel into the crater. The Golden Devourer spawns at /setwaypoint 4494 4543
If he doesn’t spawn straight away you can try switching shard.
Note: You need to have the Golden Devourer quest active to summon him, so you can’t ask a friend to spawn him for you unless they have the quest too!
