Guild garrison for weekly rewards
- Join a guild to access these event quests in the guild garrison area, often a pool spot.

- Stay put to complete them progressively.

-
First quest needs 1 minute; next is 10 minutes, scaling up to five completions.

-
Clear activity points and caps weekly without moving.
Wandering Paths daily co-op events
Head to the casual co-op adventure tab in Wandering Paths for Blessed Land, active once daily at reset time shown in your battle pass today quests.

You stand in the circle, start cultivation, and AFK fully until done.

Other low-effort dailies include:
- Five Animal Frolics (re-enter circle if stuck as bear).

- Well of Heaven special training (two laps then respond four times every 20 seconds).

- Scholar’s Hearth (answer questions every 20-30 seconds) for constitution and adventure slips.

- Heart of Healer lets you join and do nothing as others finish it, though they might not appreciate it.

How to AFK Mirage Boat
If the Mirage Boat event is up, travel there once then stay onboard the entire time for great passive rewards.

How to use Smart Assist in challenges
In the challenges section, enter Heroes Realm weekly bosses (two total) via Smart Assist for fully hands-off clears.
Step 1: Enter Heroes Realm
Select Smart Assist; AI handles everything, reviving as needed despite deaths.

Step 2: Wait out the run
Each boss takes 10-15 minutes; rewards are lower than player groups but free and no energy cost.
Step 3: Claim rewards
Skip first boss claim (2-minute window post-fight); claim second within 1-2 minutes or lose it. Clears all weekly progress once.
For Sword Trial, use Smart Assist too—it takes longer with weaker AI, but gets gear echoes. Matchmaking groups risk failure, but AI guarantees completion.
How to AFK Joint Battles
Enter Joint Battles with players; they focus on damage across five outposts, making it easy to idle.
Step 1: Join and idle
One or two active players suffice; AFK while they clear.

Step 2: Claim chests
At end, visit each outpost chest for 20 or 60 energy (triple rewards); loot solo even if others finished early.
You can instance-hop alone for extras, though others might dislike pure AFK .
