How to start and complete the Forbidden Hoards in WoW Dragonflight

Forbidden Hoards are yet another World of Warcraft Dragonflight world event you’ll find in the Forbidden Reach, together with the Trial of Storms. The principle of the event is relatively simple—you have to clear the way to the treasure chest surrounded by elite mobs. Once you clear all the surrounding mobs, you get your sweet loot. The chest can drop a Zskera Vault key, Elemental Overflow, a Primalist gear token, and Untapped Forbidden Knowledge. 

The event takes place in the Forbidden Reach every 30 minutes, and isn’t capped at the moment of writing this article, so you can grind your little heart away to get Elemental Overflow and Zskera Vault keys.
