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.

    Another tip if you don’t want to actually PvP, turn off cross play and you will rarely see anyone anywhere.

    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.

      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.

    I kind of stumbled into the area without knowing the mechanics whilst halfway through the campaign. Is it normally a dangerous place to be if you’re not looking to hunt other players?

      If there’s no other players, it’s the same as any other zone aside from the boss that wanders around. If you run into a player that is PvP flagged, they can and will attack you and you will lose all your seeds.

        There’s no looting of gear from other players? I suppose that would be a bit much and most people would avoid it altogether.

    Another good time to do PvP is early mornings. Well, generally before 10am the activity is small.

      A good time to PvP is when the activity is small? Sounds weird! O_o

      I agree, nothing ruins a PvE game more than forced PvP.

      I used to play The Division, and there’s a lot of other examples.
