Do not worry about going over the total amount of Grim Favors needed for a reward, any Grim Favors earned past the 10 Favors limit will carry over.
Focusing on Dungeons or any of the other 5 Grim Favors objectives nets you the highest Grim Favor gain per time spent. Especially ones that you haven’t unlocked the codex/renown yet.
After completing a Dungeon for 5 Grim Favors, be sure to also check if a World Boss is available. This will cap your Grim Favors and net you a boss kill!
The Tree of Whispers is individually tracked on each World Tier, as a result, be careful not to mistake your progress.
Tree of Whispers objectives have a time limit, keep this in mind while completing them!
Occasionally in the rewards, you have the opportunity to select a “Great Collection” cache. Keep an eye out for the Great Collection rewards, they reward you more than usual.
