How To Complete The Lunar Awakening Event Questline
Players can gain Ancestor’s Favor to unlock reward tiers and advance the event questline. To earn favor, simply kill enemies while a Lunar Shrine is active. These shrinesappear on the mini-map with a purple star next to them, and they take the shape of the various Lunar Cycle Animals.
In most cases, the shrine will activate as normal, allowing the player to zip around the map normally while clearing packs. However, some Lunar Shrines activate an event when clicked, similar to the Cursed Shrine Event. To receive a chest of rewards and Lunar Favor,slay 3 Miserly Spirit Elite Enemies within the time limit.
Lunar Awakening Shrines can spawn Helltidesand Headhunts. Prioritizing these areas allows players to farm multiple resources at the same time.

A visual bug is currently occurring with the event questline. In this bug, players can speak with Ying-Yue to begin the event, but once they exit Ked Bardu, the quest becomes marked as incomplete. However,this does not interfere with players earning Ancestor’s Favor, and it can be disregarded.
