Spheres of Influence

For this achievement, you will need to collect the 5 orbs of life within Eonar's Sanctuary. This achievement can be obtained after you defeat the encounter.

The orbs spawn in a fixed pattern. After collecting the first [spell=253754], you will then have to collect the rest within a certain amount of time or the orb sequence will reset.[pad]

Here is a picture showing all the locations of the orbs.

• Orb 1 - Spawns on the platform which is connected to the lower and upper tracks with jump pads. Upon entering the Sanctuary, the platform is straight ahead.
• 
  
• Orb 2 - Spawns on one of the pillars at the door near the middle path, which is the door you enter the Sanctuary through.
• 
  
• Orb 3 - Spawns underneath Eonar's Essence platform, which is located to the left upon entering the Sanctuary.
• 
  
• Orb 4 - Spawns between the two pillars underneath the upper path and is close to the first orb.
• 
  
• Orb 5 - Spawns on a balcony far forward from the entrance to the Sanctuary, which you can reach by using the Extra Action Button.

Once all 5 orbs are picked up, everyone in the raid group will get credit for it and obtain the achievement.

Did this achievement on live servers on Nov 29th.

So interestingly, this achievement can be done before or after the boss fight, and I highly recommend you do it this way.

Throughout Eonar's Sanctuary there are 5 golden orbs, which spawn in sequence, one at a time. If the next orb in the sequence isn't picked up with a certain amount of time (60-90 seconds from what I can tell) then the sequence starts over again. To get to some of these locations you'll need to use the extra action button given to you in Eonar's room, and given the location of the 5th orb, you'll need the CD to be short rather than 30 seconds, which is to say that you can't do this achieve DURING the boss.

Explaining where they are in a room this big is pretty difficult, especially when so much of the scenery looks so similar, so I've added screenshots where possible. The screenshots will show you where I'm standing when I open my map to help you orient yourself as well as wide shots to help you identify where in the room I'm standing.

Orb 1 - Spawns on the platform that connects to both lower and upper tracks with jump pads. When you first walk into the sanctuary, with Eonar on your left, this platform is straight ahead. Orb Map
Orb 2 - Spawns on one of the little pillars on the door near middle path, which is the door you enter the Sanctuary through. In this shot, I'm standing right where Orb 1 was, and the orb you see off on the left is Orb 2, in relation to Orb 1. Orb Map
Orb 3 - Spawns underneath the platform where Eonar's essence is, which is the platform off to your left when you first zone into the sanctuary. Here are several angles. In this map shot, I'm standing here, with red marker being Orb 3 because yellow wasn't showing through the waterfall.
Orb 4 - Spawns between 2 pillars underneath the upper path, and is very near Orb 1. Orb ,another angle ,map and Orb 4 in relation to Orb1. In that last one Orb 1 is orange and Orb 4 is purple.
Orb 5 - Spawns on a balcony off in the middle of nowhere. The only way to get to it is to use your Extra Action Button, leap against the cliff, use it again, and then land on the balcony, which is why doing this during the fight (when using the button incurs a 30 second CD) is not advisable. Here are some screenshots to help you visualise where this stupid orb is. Balcony, Angle 1, Angle 2

As far as collecting them goes, it doesn't have to be the same person picking them all up, and everyone who was in Eonar's room got the achievement when we did it. We only had 3 of us when we did the achievement, so we had one person waiting underneath Eonar's platform for Orb 3, and one waiting on the balcony for Orb 5, and the had our 3rd collect Orbs 1, 2 and 4. I'm convinced that with proper planning this achievement would be soloable, and since it can be done as soon as you walk into Eonar's room, or after your raid kills her and leaves, this achievement is one of the easiest (and most fun) metas we've had in a long while.

Now importantly as a closing note you may be looking at some of these screenshots and thinking "Yarini, why have your friends both died?"

Because, fellow achievement hunters, my friends are dumb.

For anyone doing this achievement in 7.3.5, it was changed slightly in the patch.

The orbs now only spawn after you defeat the encounter.

There is also a short timer once you start picking them up, if you don't pick up the next orb fast enough they reset back to the 1st orb and you have to start over.
We had people waiting at each of the spawn points ready to get the orb as the first time we failed the timer by having 1 guy be too slow to get to the 5th orb.

This seems to have been added to prevent people from soloing the achievement? not a massive inconvenience
