I'm a big phan of this achievement.

On a serious note: you earn phantasma by killing enemies in Torghast at any layer. Every mob drops some, excluding mawrats and the last boss of level 6.
All phantasma earned, even if spent, counts towards the achievement.

This is an IMMENSE amount of phantasma to get. The Phantastic achievement already takes a bit, and this is the same, but 10 times more.
I suggest not even trying to farm this one. Just get it naturally through the course of the expansion. You can still use the Anima Cell on the Broker to get a slight boost, but it's still going to take ages.

Comment by Desmian

Found a way to easy farm 2,5k per run. Go to the Fracture Chambers or the Upper Reaches and buy Ravenous Anima Cell from broker. After use in on mob to get Marrow Scooper buff. Kill sceletons and get tons of fanatisma! It's still gonna take some time to complete 250k, but it's much faster this way

Comment by SwordBreath

If you are a Warrior, you can maximize Phantasma by stacking Pleonexian Command (See comment) and using Whirlwind to farm a large amount of anima per run.

I recommend the Twisting Corridors so that you can stack it to a really high number and get anima multipliers.

Comment by yagyu79

ok so imagine you did all the torghast has to offer got all the items and this is the only thing left and its still a big grind left, the question is why would anyone do this for no reward ?

Comment by violetta

this really should give a title of "The Phanatic" or something

Comment by Niixten

Would be much better if Phanatical were account wide.

Comment by pentheraphobia

Writing this in the middle of a Twisting Corridors run where i've got:

30 Phantasma earned per Chaos Bolt (6 stacks of +5 Phantasma each).
125% bonus Phantasma, so actually 68 per Chaos Bolt (5 stacks of +25% each, it rounds up).
Chaos Bolts no longer costs soul shards (can cast infinitely).
In the Fracture Chambers, there are sometimes cauldrons that infinitely respawn skeletons.
Made a "/targetenemy " macro for chaos bolt and backed myself into a corner where I could see the whole room.
Also figured out I could take off my weapon and click off a couple buffs so the skeletons would take 2-3 hits to die instead of 1.

Literally just spam one button without having to move or do anything else. Figure I'm getting about 1000 Phantasma per minute, from where I'm at I could have this achievement in only.. three or four hours!

Not sure how many classes can try to replicate a build like this.

Comment by bomsquad

I decided to work on this achievement, and I think Affliction Warlock might be a little OP for this.

I started a layer 1 Twisted Corridors to minimize damage taken.

I think by level 18 I had 9 stacks of Glutton's Guise, which gives 5 Phantasma per cast of Malefic Rapture. I also had Fractured Phantasma Lure as well as Unstable Phantasma Lure. Each cast of Malefic Rapture was getting me 112 Phantasma at the end. I'll admit, I was milking it. I'd only cast Corruption and then start in with Malefic Rapture while my Voidwalker tanked.

Regular mobs were almost being killed by the Corruption cast alone. I was often lucky to get one or two Malefic Rapture casts off before it was dead. On elites, rares and the boss, however, I was able to get a lot of casts off before they died. I'd try to single pull everything to maximize the Phantasma generation.

I'd say the strategy worked, and I got my Phanatical achievement.

On my last run for the achievement I finished with 62051 Phantasma after buying everything the vendors offered every time I encountered one.

Comment by WuSage3

I used Twisting Corridors to farm this. If you restart TC until either The Upper Reaches or The Fracture Chambers is your starting zone, you can always get the Ravenous Anima Cell from the Broker Vendor at Floor 3. This allows you to get the power Marrow Scooper Anima Power on Floor 4 which will last you through 14 more floors, potentially one set of which being another The Upper Reaches or The Fracture Chambers.

This usually floods you with Phantasma, you can jackpot yourself into 5-20k Phantasma by the end of the run depending on your luck with the floors and other Anima Powers like Unstabled Phantasma Lure or Fractured Phantasma Lure. The Ve'nari Upgrade Possibility Matrix and the Anima Power Enchanted Thieves' Tools are both really powerful toward getting more Lures, and having both is even better. These Lures stack with Marrow Scooper and are a huge source of Phantasma.

This flooding of Phantasma usually lets you buy out subsequent vendors' entire stock of powers and Anima Cells, including more Ravenous Anima Cells. These can be used on the final floor, floor 18's vendor to give you another 400 Phantasma to top off your run. Don't use it before floor 18, the vendor won't be there again on subsequent floors if you do it early.

If you encounter a Lost Dredger, be careful of any Anima Powers you have that might kill it prematurely. If you clear the entire floor, then engage it and poke him (without killing him), he will drop some Phantasma you can pick up as well as his Anima Power and then run away to the exit portal to the next floor. Once there he will cast Escape! and if you use a Ravenous Anima Cell on it during that cast, you'll get a portal to a room with 100-300 Phantasma plus four or five Anima Powers.

Comment by udovar575

There is a really easy way to get this achievement in 2-3 hours standing afk with ANY CLASS.

To get the achievement you only need 2 things:

1. The torment "Unstable Phantasma" (the blob thing) needs to be up. (torments reset daily if i am not mistaken, check every day).

2. You need to get any anima power that Increases you Phantasma earned. For example anything from 10%, 25%, 50% or even 100%.

Explanation:

The blod mob spawn exactly every 4 minutes. Each time you kill the blob you get your phantasma back. The twist here is if you have an anima power that provides increased phantasma earned you will get that much percent more anima returned after each kill. Keep in mind this racks up pretty high as the number gets bigger and bigger so i would advise to SAVE as much phantasma as possible so you don't start from 100 like me. If you start from 1000 or even higher you already saved yourself an hour or two. At the end i was getting like 10-12k every 4 minutes.

Conclusion:

A badly designed achievement that grants you only 5 POINTS can now be done in a few hours standing afk (only tabbing into the game every 4 min to kill the blob). If you got lucky with anima powers you can do this probably in under 1 hour. If you didn't get lucky and you got only the 10% or 25% phatasma earned power you got 2 options, to reset the run or just afk for 2-3 hours until you get it. In any scenario you will get this achievement just by standing afk for a few hours instead of running torg for hours and days.

SHOUT OUT:

This little trick was found by a fellow member of the Daugens Community (you know who you are <3).

Comment by Zarillion

It is possible to get all 250k Phantasma for this achievement in 2-3 runs of the Twisting Corridors as a destruction warlock. On my first attempt (screenshot) to see how much phantasma I could earn in a single run, I ended the run with over 160k. The build revolves around the Tainted Blood Vial and Glutton's Guise powers, turning your Chaos Bolt into a filler that generates phantasma on every cast.

In the run above I was earning 90 phantasma per chaos bolt at the end with:

If you luck out and encounter the rare that provides Fractured Phantasma Lure, you could earn well over 200k in a single run.

Tips to reproduce:

Run Twisting Corridors on Layer 1, higher layers will not be as efficient.
Get the Tainted Blood Vial power as early as possible. If it is not one of your three options after you kill the boss on floor 6, you should consider restarting.
Once you get Tainted Blood Vial, dismiss your pet and cast no damaging spells other than Chaos Bolt for the rest of the run.
Do not right-click pots! Cast Chaos Bolt on each individual pot for more phantasma.
Do not use Havoc, it does not consistently give you credit for both casts of Chaos Bolt.
Each time you reach a vendor, empty it out! This will increase your odds at getting desirable powers on future vendors.
Use Ravenous Anima Cell to collect the Mawrat Harness and Marrow Scooper powers as early as possible. The harness is in the regular pool of powers, so you want to remove it.
Get the last boss to the point where the next Chaos Bolt would kill them, then die and repeat until you run out of available deaths. If you make it to floor 18 without dying, you can pull the boss 6 times to gain additional phantasma at your maximum rate.

You will want to choose powers in a way that will maximize your chances at additional Glutton's Guise throughout the run. Use the following priority list:

Tainted Blood Vial
Unstable Phantasma Lure / Fractured Phantasma Lure
Any other epic power if you do not have Tainted Blood Vial yet to increase the chances of it appearing at floor 6.
Glutton's Guise
Zovaal's Resolution (this will help with longer elites/bosses as they gain stacks)
Bloodgorged Leech (this will help sustain you later in the run)
Any unique power that can only be obtained once. This will remove it from the pool of powers, making the above powers more likely to appear.
Any class/spec specific power, as many of these can only stack to a certain amount before they stop appearing.
Any generic stacking power. Try to avoid Bloating Fodder until you have no other options, and avoid breaking pots or damaging mobs with them.
Oberlon armament powers. These do not have a meaningful cap, so taking them does not increase the chances of any other powers appearing.

Choosing between stamina armaments and secondary stat armaments will depend on your gear. I am currently 250 ilvl, so I took all stamina powers and ended the run with ~30k damage Chaos Bolts. The last boss has ~3M health, so I was able to cast around 100 times each pull and pull it 6 times for ~54k phantasma total just off the last boss. If you have less gear, you may need to take more secondary stat boosts to prevent bosses from gaining too many stacks of Unnatural Power.

As others have noted on this page, if you luck out and find a cauldron with endless spawning skeletons on one of the last floors, you can sit there and farm phantasma near your maximum rate for as long as you like.

Comment by Sarthorius

The +100% Drop Anima Power you might be after, that makes this one even faster (stacks with other powers) drops from the Animated Stygia|Animated Stygia rare.

If, for ANY instance, you stumble upon it, try and get this achievement.

Comment by LuckerNr1

In response to udovar575's comment I did some testing and calculations regarding Unstable Phantasma:

Every time Phantasmic Amalgamation spawns it takes 25% of you current Phantasma
Phantasmic Amalgamation itself drops 25 Phantasma

In loot chat you will get two entries

Even though both values are listed as loot only the second item counts towards Phanatical

TLDR:
Approximation for the Phantasma value of the Nth kill of Phantasmic Amalgamation after the first kill (the approximation will always be a little lower then the actual amount):
B(0) = on kill Phantasma value of the first kill
F = multiplier from buffs like Unstable Phantasma Lure, e.g. two stacks of Unstable Phantasma Lure would be 2*0.25 = 0.5
B(n) = B(0) * ((4+F)/4)^n

Total Phantasma amount after Nth kill of Phantasmic Amalgamation after the first kill:
B(0) * (4^(-n) * (4 + F)^(n + 1) - 4))/F

END of TLDR;

To get the amount of Phantasma the next Phantasmic Amalgamation kill grants, you can use this formula:
A = your current Phantasma
F = multiplier from buffs like Unstable Phantasma Lure, e.g. two stacks of Unstable Phantasma Lure would be 2*0.25 = 0.5 I didn't test, if different kind of buffs are additive or multiplicative
M = 1 + F
B = (0.25*A*M) + (25*M)

Your new total would be:
A(2) = (0.75*A) + B

If you have something like Excel you can calculate the sum of all B(n) untill you get up to 250000. The formula for this is easier is you have columns for A(n) and B(n) values. If you only want to calculate B(n) values you can take the second Phantasma you get from the first kill and use the following formula to get the next values:
B = B(n) = last value
C = B(n+1) = next value
C = ( ( ( (B - 25*M) / M) * 3 + B) / 4 + 25) * M

For bigger numbers the 25 base Phantasma becomes less relevant and can be ignored and we can approximate the Nth value as:
B(n) = B(0) * ((4+F)/4)^n

With this approximation, the sum of N kills towards the Achievement will be :
n = (total kills) -1
B(0) * (4^(-n) * (4 + F)^(n + 1) - 4))/F

Example for B(0) = 1000; F = 0.5 and a total of 10 kills (n = 9):
1000 * (4^(-9) * (4 + 0.5)^(9 + 1) - 4))/0.5 ~= 17978,56...

Comment by Fose

Take any increase in phantasma earned i.e Unstable Phantasma Lure + Memory of a Stable Phantasma Lure and clear everything including the final boss in Adamant vaults. go into a tower with Unstable Phantasma as a torment and just camp inside the bubble of the last broker ( just to prevent losing phantasma if you go afk ) and go out every 4 minutes to kill Unstable Phantasma You can be done in a few hours if you're lucky with Unstable Phantasma Lure

Comment by Horsekebab

Just adding on to what many others are posting, regarding getting phantasma loot multipliers and going into a Torghast wing with the Unstable Phantasma torment active:

Currently (10th of september 2022), the Unbridled Darkness Torghast event is active, during which you can choose a special power from the first Anima Hoard. Doing so will unlock several new powers, one of them being Weight of Darkness. Clearing up to and including Adamant vaults should provide at least one or two of those. With two stacks, you should be able to complete this achievement in one hour, from scratch!

Comment by twinkletwinkle

Did this in one twisted corridors run as a destro warlock (warlock mandatory imo)

luck out and get Unstabled Phantasma Lure or Fractured Phantasma Lure along side chaos bolt gives +phantasma (i had around 10~ stacks) and chaos bolt no longer requires soul shards

chaos bolt everything all the way until floor18 final boss and you should be pretty close, i suicided 4 times on the final boss to get the most out of the run and just managed to scrape it.

edit: level 220 or so warlock with no legendaries (literally just zerith mortis anima gear), so my damage wasnt that powerful for TC layer 1.

Comment by JeackTL

I used the method described by udovar575, but found a strange bug(?). I started with +100% phantasma and 2000 phantasma (in last boss room), and was gaining about 1.5x per blob until I was getting 15k-20k per kill. At that point I was not longer getting 1.5x more per kill, so there might be a sort of soft cap around that point.

Still a painless method, this is just an FYI for people who might be on a timer.

Comment by dillybar

I knew with the Dragonflight expansion, at level 70 Torghast would be easier, so I wanted to do a few hours of farming because this was the last Torghast achievement I needed.

I had roughly 180k Phantasma, and based on my previous rate of gathering, I figured it was going to be probably about 25 to 30 runs to get enough for the achievement.

That being said, I wanted to follow the instructions here to see if there was an easier way.

I read the post about using the Unstable Phantasma, then the other post about going into The Fracture Chambers and using Marrow Scooper on a mob, so I figured I'd try both to maximize my haul.

I went in on level 16, to maximize the chance of having the Unstable Phantasma as one of my torments.

Was doing well, got 2 of the Unstable Phantasma Lure before 3rd floor, and on 3rd floor bought the Ravenous Anima Cell.

Unfortunately I found out on the 4th floor right away that you can't use Marrow Scooper on a skeleton. That only gives the option Skeletal Ward, so I messed that up.

However, by the end of the normal run I had 4244 phantasma, it was a flawless run, and I was quite happy.

Because it was flawless, I could continue into The Adamant Vaults.

Once inside I got very lucky, another Unstable Phantasma Lure, and a little bit later, got the Fractured Phantasma Lure buff.

I had 6,101 phantasma at the end of the first Fractured floor, and decided to sit for awhile and let the Unstable Phantasma come to me.

Then things got wild.

Within a couple of kills, I was at 19,887 phantasma.

A couple more kills, 41,264

At this point I knew I'd have the achievement, each kill was giving compounding returns.

59,386, then 85,437, and so on.

I blasted on past 250k, and kept going, each kill giving more and more phantasma.

Somewhere around my 12th kill, I got 1,058,429 phantasma, for a grand total of 3,477,537 in roughly an hour and a half.

I called it good after that, even though a devious part of me really wanted to see if I could get to a billion.

Cliff notes: If you want to get this achievement quick, wait for Unstable Phantasma as a torment, pick EVERY phantasma increaser (like Unstable Phantasma Lure, Fractured Phantasma Lure, etc), pick up a few thousand phantasma, then sit and kill the Unstable Phantasma every 4 minutes.

Comment by Dyzdaemar

"To get the achievement you only need 2 things:

1. The torment "Unstable Phantasma" (the blob thing) needs to be up. (torments reset daily if i am not mistaken, check every day)."

Is there an easy way to "check" without going to each one and looking? Is there a list, or a chart, or a daily guide in the wowhead database?

Comment by Luke03097

Currently all wings of Torghast are available so you just have to go and check them one by one and see where Unstable Phantasma affix is active.
Then just follow what other comments says: farm anima, when you are done, just wait and kill blob eveery 4min.

I managed to get 2x25% increased anima (Unstable Anima Lure) but with every Unstable Phantasma blob killed I was receiving only ~12,5% more anima with every kill (after blob spawned I was instantly getting some anima back, then after kill the rest of stolen anima was given - only the second part of regained anima was counted towards achiev progress)

Comment by LaffiBoozegnome

Here is a different comment than the others:
After finishing every single Torgast instance at least once, on eveyr difficulty, I ended up with 50000 phantasma.
Just so you know how much you get for playing it regulary.

Keep in mind that I started to skip alot of mobs in the 18 floor Twisting Corridors, so I didn't actually farm for this achievement.

Comment by FuNkowah

Just a few tips if you are going with Unstable Phantasma trick, besides of the ones i've seen already in the comments:

Empowered Phantasma didn't count towards the achievement for me, but i was able to see the "received currency" message for this.
As i see 2 messages saying "You recieve currency: x - - -", only the second message was the real amount counting for the achieve.
If you find the Automa Excavator anima power, just take it. If you think other comments saying you just need to be aware of killing the Phantasmic Amalgamation every 4 minutes while it spawns is easy but tedious, then with automa anima power you literally can be afk doing other stuff or watch a movie, and just click or move your mouse time to time to cancel logging out. The Automa Excavator is able to SOLO kill it.
Some comments say Unstable Phantasma is a daily, and you need to check every day looking for it. I just tried to queue into every wing until i found one with the torment up.
Buy and use Plundered Anima Cell and Requisitioned Anima Cell from Broker Ve'ken or Broker Ve'nott, these anima cells have a chance to get Unstable Phantasma Lure.
Don't go like crazy trying to reach the end of the wing you got the torment. Kill everything and complete the entire zone to get 5 diamonds score (flawless) in order to get into The Adamant Vaults; the chances of getting more anima powers will be higher.

Hope this information helps, besides of all the older information in the comments.
