- In Tier I, the dragon must be a wyrmling. In Tier II, you must face a young dragon. In Tier III, you must face an adult dragon. Finally, in Tier IV, the dragon must be ancient.
- Following the completion of the Tier specific dragon encounter, complete a fourth roleplay scenario, then complete three deadly combat encounters without the use of the Dragon Hoard item, without completing a long rest, representing your defense of the hoard while the Dragon Hoard item "steeps."
- Finally, complete a fast difficult skill challenge, followed by a fifth roleplay scenario.

Completion of this option in subsequent tiers enhances your Dragon Hoard item's awakening status by one step. If you have obtained a Dragon Hoard item from another source, you may use a Dragon Hoard Challenge of an appropriate tier to enhance your Dragon Hoard item's awakening status.
