There are several ways to collect Dreamsurge Coalescence, but the easiest way is probably to complete Waking Dreams and kill Rare Elites empowered by the Dreamsurge - both also Trading Post tasks.

If any character still has 250+ Dreamsurge Coalescence in their bags, just logging into them will complete this task!

Defeat 5 & 20 Raid Bosses - 50 & 100 Points for a total of 150 Points

For the first time, we don't have the tasks to defeat 25 Raid Bosses, or the task to kill 10 Dragonflight raid bosses, but these tasks seems to have combined them. All raid bosses count, including ones from old raids.

Comment by Sharkytempestdue to the amount of brewfest and dreamsurge tokens I had in my bags, I was about 60% complete when I just logged in today, had it complete about an hour and a half later, easy one this monthComment by HystersI'm surprised the 15 pet battles is never on these lists. if you have at least 1 decent level pet (maybe 10 and above) you can go to durotar, 1 shot 15 lv 1 critters and boom, 200 points in 3 minutes.Comment by DylangrimmkellI like how they completely took out the Defeat 10 Dragonflight Raid Bosses task and the Complete 15 M+ dungeon task. Also nerfes the amount of points you get from doing M+ and Raid task by half. I guess they got sick of people finishing the log by doing things you usually do. LmaoComment by liotieI like how they completely took out the Defeat 10 Dragonflight Raid Bosses task and the Complete 15 M+ dungeon task.

LmaoComment by ThodricHead to Darkmoon, get youself killed and talk to a ghost, then fish up a fish head, stick it on and queue to kill Coren. 300 points for 15-20 minutes work.Comment by TahntoI finished it so quickly this month. All the same...does it feel like it's getting more expensive? I only want the Imp and Infernal mount and I don't even have enough tender just for that.

Edit for correction: I mathed wrong. I had enough for that. But it still feels like it's creeping up...Comment by mazejakerI logged in today with 40% progress so it was very easy this monthComment by rockforceI finished it so quickly this month.

Took me 2 hours to have my broom, and i was doing it slowly.Comment by ZenrilSoMnice broom, very pretty lady. good conceptComment by lovelywazYou have a whole month to finish this.

"Easiest" way would be to just keep playing the way you do and it will be done in first week or most likely in 2nd. If for whatever odd reason you couldn't get it done even in two weeks, just check your Travels Log and see what can "YOU" do that's fun, interesting and easy for you to finish it off.Comment by Savario15This month is a record speed completion for me.

Harvest festival tasks, some direbrew tasks (had some tokens that gave me a headstart on progress), darkmoon faire tasks (with the quick kill on Coren while wearing a fish head), cackle at an undead player, hop to my Pandaria farm, done.

But I agree with others on the cost creep. There's so much on the vendor, but you can only buy a two things max if you want the mount or the class armor+class weapons. It would be nice to gain at least 1500 tender a month at this rate. Which I guess is the point of selling real money store bundles with up to 500 trader's tender now...*sigh*Comment by LandaiI logged in with a bunch of Dreamsurge and Brewfest Currencies, and it was 40% done. Send over some cheap work orders from an alt, do a couple DR races, and a world boss. Bam. Was done in 30 minutes.

This month was nice, easily completed and a mount I've wanted since TBC :DComment by HaraiThe way they priced this month is probably the most egregious one yet, and it will be surpassed by the month with the watches in it. A single watch is gonna cost 999 tender. On the verge of not looking forward to each new month of the trading post.Comment by tetraxionmonI logged in today and was 550/1000 complete. Did a few tasks and boom. Done and done. Got the broom, which is lovely by the way. So glad that Blizzard gave is this mount, but feel it couldve been wayy earlier than that. Maybe timing? Still either way, big UPS to them. Some ppl are gonna complain that its not instant cast. Just wait til the halloween event :P.Comment by GarglerIf you don't mind repetition, you can just queue the Coren Brewfest encounter on each of your characters, take the quest item back to your faction city, hand in at the Brewfest camp, do that Brewfest guy's other 2 quests to pick a welcome beer and run a quest item to Valdrakken (this one's 50+ only cause of the portal), and then repeat on an alt. The reason you do the other welcome to Brewfest quests is because as you gradually repeat this on alts, you're filling the quest completion task as well, to do 25 quests. Alts you haven't used in a while will also have a Gear Update quest to hand in at Chromie for another cheap quest +1. Eventually it'll all spill over for getting 600 Brewfest tokens and 25 quests, and then you can just smash out 15 pet battles outside your faction city in 5 mins to finish off. Any month without world quests is a good one.Comment by tarcI like how they completely took out the Defeat 10 Dragonflight Raid Bosses task and the Complete 15 M+ dungeon task.

Comment by schnizolYou didn't mention the harvest festival? 200 for easy bring and come back quest and i think 50 or 100 for emoting an ancestor outside your capital...Comment by adutzu89due to the amount of brewfest and dreamsurge tokens I had in my bags, I was about 60% complete when I just logged in today, had it complete about an hour and a half later, easy one this monthComment by godlygamer911Who is the genius that writes these that ALWAYS forgets about 15 battle pets?
