The following four special sanctuary areas are the parts of your sanctuary that you can develop, improve, and expand over time. Three of these areas (Travel Network, Animal Rider, Command Table) are similar across the four alliances, with different design variations reflecting the character of each pact. Each sanctum also has a unique area; in the Heart of the Forest, this is the Queen's Conservatory.

Upgrading Sanctum Areas

All four areas of the Sanctum can be upgraded by donating Anima and other resources to the Sanctum Upgrade NPC. To begin researching upgrades in any of these areas, head to Zayhad the Builder in the Heart of the Forest. Once you have collected the appropriate number of resources to receive an upgrade, it will then take a set amount of time for the new rank to be researched and completed.

Heart of the Forest Command Table

The Command Table is the first area you should unlock. Learning the basics of using the Command Table is one of the opening quests. The table is located outside and southwest of the Heart of the Forest.

Using the Command Table, you can send adventurers to obtain various rewards

.

The rewards of the adventures, the cost of completing them, the status of your units and the challenges from the enemies can be viewed here. You should always choose a solid mix of adventurers, soulbonds and troops to form a group of up to five units to deal with the different threats. Rewards include anima, gold, pets, mounts and more.

Nachtfae Pact Sanctum Feature: The Queen's Conservatory

The special pact sanctum feature of the Nachtfae is the Queen's Conservatory. All members of the Nachtfae Pact have access to the Queen's Conservatory, a celestial garden where they harness the power of rebirth that flows through the Arden Forest to help the souls of ancient deities return to life.

During your adventures in the Shadowlands, you will encounter the preserved souls of celestial spirits from across the cosmos. In the Queen's Conservatory, you will find the power to restore these souls to their former glory.

You will work with the Queen's Guard to restore the ancient souls to strength through the magic of the Wild Seeds of the Arden Forest. In the Queen's Conservatory Garden, you have access to two types of beds: the Wild Seed pods themselves and the Catalyst Fields. You can plant various catalysts in the beds that are associated with a wild seed to give that seed additional power. Each type of catalyst adds an individual bonus to the growth process.

For example, one catalyst reduces the incubation time required to restore a soul, while others affect the amount or value of reward chests you receive for each restored soul. This is because once the restored soul is at full strength, it shows its gratitude with a reward chest that can contain anything from resources to special cosmetic rewards such as pets or mounts.

By cultivating the various wild seeds and beds, you can maximize the efficiency of your garden. To use the full potential of the Queen's Conservatory, you must learn how to best use and place catalysts.
