Whispers, Grim Favors, and Cache Guide
Do not chase Whispers in isolation. Stack only objectives matching the current activity, region, or War Plan, turn in when ready, choose a cache, then rotate to the next shortage.
Read Favor, location, expiry, and overlap on the map. Favor nearby high-progress objectives or Whispers naturally matching Helltide, dungeons, or bosses; skip distant low-progress detours. At turn-in, read cache labels and match gear, material, or key shortages.
