How to Unlock the Emerald Dream?
When Patch 10.2 goes live, all players will automatically accept the Emerald Dream intro quest called Call of the Dream. If you have not played the Patch 10.1.7 intro, you will need to complete that first.
Does Emerald Dream Have an Intro Skip for Alts?
When you complete the Emerald Dream intro on your first character, alts will be granted Shandris's Scouting Report when they accept the Call of the Dream quest, letting them skip the Coalition of Flames storyline and continue straight with the Emerald Dream campaign.

Emerald Dream Activities
The following activities can be completed in the Emerald Dream:
- World Quests;
- Killing the new World Boss;
- Superbloom;
- Emerald Frenzy;
- Emerald Bounty;
- Killing rares.
Emerald Dream World Quests
World Quests unlock in the zone when you finish the first campaign chapter. They are a great for farming reputation with Dream Wardens and getting seeds and gear.
Emerald Dream World Boss
Aurostor the Hibernator is a new world boss found in the Emerald Dream. Do not forget to kill him every week for a chance at 460 (Champion 3/7) Item Level loot.
Superbloom
The Superbloom begins at the start of the hour, every hour. Once the event begins, Sprucecrown, an Ancient of Life, travels around Amirdrassil, the World Tree, starting a ritual to bloom life.
Whenever there is an ongoing Superbloom, you will see Sprucecrown's exact location on the map marked with a horn icon. Hovering over the icon will provide you with more information about the event.
Superbloom should be completed at least once per week for the weekly quest. If there are not enough players nearby, you will receive the Lone Wolf's Insight buff that increases your Bloom gains and Lone Wolf's Courage that increases your primary stat by 150%, Stamina by 60% and healing 1% health every 10 seconds.
At the beginning of the event, do not forget to pick up The Superbloom from Clarelle near Sprucecrown.
The event begins with The Tree Rises phase which takes 1 minute to complete. All you have to do during this phase is to pick up a power from a nearby Dreamfruit. The powers are very similar to Anima Powers from Torghast.
Pest Patrol takes around 2 minutes. During that time, you must collect Bloom by completing various activities around Sprucecrown while he travels to his next location. The activities range from fending off attackers to shooing insect swarms.
Growing Concerns takes around 6 minutes to complete. During this phase, you must defeat attacking primalists.
Seeding Chaos is the next phase which requires you to dig up mulch and help as much as you can around Sprucecrown.
When Sprucecrown reaches his location, An Unruly Storm will start. The phase takes around 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Primalists will emerge from portals and attack you. Keep killing them until the timer is up
A Fiery End is the final portion of the event, and you will have 5 minutes to take down the Superbloom boss named Verlann Timbercrush. Defeating him completes the Superbloom event.
After completing a Superbloom, your character will receive the Surging Bloom buff.
Superbloom Rewards
The first reward of the week will yield a Cache of Overblooming Treasures from the weekly quest that you picked up earlier.
The cache contains a Dream Wardens Insignia that increases your reputation standing with the Dream Wardens by 1,000, a Veteran 1/8 Item Level 463 piece of gear, and a Dreamseed.
Depending on the number of Bloom collected, you will also receive a green, blue, and purple bag.
- Sprouting Dreamtrove (Green Bag) — Contains Flightstones, Dragon Isles Supplies, and Emerald Dewdrop.
- Budding Dreamtrove (Blue Bag) — Contains Flightstones, Dragon Isles Supplies, and Drakewatcher Manuscripts.
- Blossoming Dreamtrove (Epic Bag) — Contains Flightstones, Dragon Isles Supplies, and a Dreamseed.
You will receive all 3 bags upon collecting 8,000 Bloom during a Superbloom.
Emerald Frenzy
Twice an hour, a random area in the zone will become empowered with life energies for a short time, causing the wildlife to become Emerald Frenzied, and you must take them down. Doing so will award you Emerald Dewdrop. As enemies become more powerful, complete a bonus objective to earn extra Emerald Dewdrops, a Plump Dreamseed to be used in the Emerald Bounty event, and Slumbering Dream Fragments.
Emerald Frenzies will be marked with a crossed sword icon on the Emerald Dream map.
Emerald Bounty
Scattered throughout the Emerald Dream are small patches of dirt. Plant any level of Dreamseed into any patch of dirt at any time to trigger the Emerald Bounty event. The higher the level of Dreamseed, the greater the rewards.
As the flower grows, contribute Emerald Dewdrop or Dreamseeds.
Planting a seed from your inventory triggers the event. You will have 3 minutes to complete activities around the flower, like chasing away critters, pulling weeds, or taking out violent lashers. Doing so will give you Emerald Dewdrops to contribute to the growing plant.
Once the Dreamseed has matured into a beautiful flower, those who helped it grow will be rewarded.
Emerald Bounty Rewards
The quality of the Dreamseed planted affects rewards. You can get the following rewards from Emerald Bounties:
- Small Dreamseed — Bloomed Bark Warleathers (Leather), Ceremonial Jacaranda Regalia (Cloth), Embrace of the Dreamfused Skull (Mail), Overgrown Freyan Warplate (Plate).
- Plump Dreamseed — Dustite, Elmer, Napps, Seedle, Snoots, and Snoozles.
- Gigantic Dreamseed — Reins of the Blossoming Dreamstag, Reins of the Evening Sun Dreamsaber, Reins of the Rekindled Dreamstag, Reins of the Snowfluff Dreamtalon, Reins of the Springtide Dreamtalon.
- All Dreamseeds — Chance at Reins of the Winter Night Dreamsaber and Drake Crests if enough Emerald Dewdrops were contributed.
Killing Rares
Rares will be located on your map with a golden star icon inside a silver dragon portrait.
Killing rares gives 25 reputation with the Dream Wardens, Slumbering Dream Fragments, Flightstones, Small Dreamseed, and Dragon Isles Supplies, and gear.
Here is a map with all rares found in Emerald Dream.
