As a primary HC player, requiring GR80 to complete Guardian is really going to be a lot of work. Especially with all of the nerfs that are going around atm.
You need to complete chapter 2, 3, and 4 of the season journey to get 2 pieces each. Not *much* more difficult, but a bit more legwork required. The most important change to note is that you have to complete an entire bounty run (act 1 to 5) in a single game. And you can't cheat this by having someone else do this or split up; in fact, it's not about the caches, but it's about completing all 25 bounties in one game.
Here's the summary what you need to do for each part of the set:
First Haedrig's Gift (Chapter 1+2):
Complete a Nephalem Rift on Expert difficulty
Equip 5 gems on your gear (putting low level gems in yellows and salvaging those is enough)
Level all artisans to 12 (max out their training)
Complete 5 bounties (any random bounties, don't need to be in the same act or so)
Defeat Izual+Rakanoth on any difficulty
Defeat Cydaea and Siegebreaker on Hard difficulty
Reach level 70
Unlock Kanai's Cube
Fully equip a follower (items can be crafted yellows)
Enchant an item using the Mystic (a rare suffices)
Craft a level 70 item at the Blacksmith (any rare will do)
Craft a ring or amulet at the Jeweler
Second Haedrig's Gift (Chapter 3):
Complete a rift on Master difficulty
Transmogrify an item
Craft an Imperial gem (note that this costs 200k gold!)
Buy 1 item from Kadala
Learn 5 Blacksmith+Jeweler recipes (Jeweler will be the bottleneck; doing bounties is the quickest way to get those, or get lucky with Odious Collector, maybe even in a Vault)
Defeat Belial+Maghda on Master difficulty
Extract 1 legendary power into the cube
Complete a full set of bounties <= Again, you need to be present at all 25 bounty game completions, you can't cheat this by splitting up!!!
Third Haedrig's Gift (Chapter 4):
Complete a T1 rift
Complete a solo GR20 (to get access to that it's easiest to just complete a T4 rift, making the first objective ridiculous)
Defeat all 4 Keywarden on Torment 4 or higher
Defeat the Spider Queen (act 1) and Skeleton King on T2 or higher
Upgrade a rare item using the Kanai's Cube
Enchant a socket into your weapon at the Mystic
As I said, most of those are easy; sure, it's 8 bosses now instead of just one, but some of them you can do while leveling up anyways. The four Keywarden on T4 are definitely something you can't do while leveling up, but also don't take so long. Most of the small exploration requirements are done along the way anyways or don't take much time. But the full bounty run *by yourself* definitely is what will slow down groups. I think most people will just start a bounty run together at level 50-55 on Hard/Master... but there's definitely more room for tweaking the level-up process now. Problem is that all of that is impossible to test on PTR with the 2000% legendary buff; you have all class sets complete before even starting with the fourth Chapter... would love to turn the buff off.
I am happy that I level solo and do all 25 bounties right away for the 3 cube mats. There is actually some incentive to it now, potentially getting my set a little faster than everyone else.

Pretty sure this one is bugged and can't be done in the same game as the:
Complete 5 bounties (any random bounties, don't need to be in the same act or so)
I did everything on T1 after I hit 70 on PTR and when I turned all 5 acts bounties in I just didn't get credit for Act 1-5 bounties done part for 4 set..
Edit: I just saw someone post on the feedback thread saying its actually having you do Act 1 > Act 2 > Act 3 > Act 4 > Act 5. Turning it in before you start the next act and ignoring the bonus. That is so retarded and not tutorial for anyone. Its plain doing them wrong. Oh blizz.....

Not true, you don't have to do it in that order, that would be stupid. We did it exactly in the bonus act order, both of us got credit.
There are some bugs though with the system, I've heard of others not getting the credit; not sure what they did wrong.

Ya idk all I know is I did all bounties, a rift, killed 6 bosses for the first 3 parts of journey and got the cube in the same T1 game and finished/turned in the bounties last.
@MaxMind and FEIF81: I've moved the discussion into this thread instead of the outdated S6 thread. Hope you don't mind.
@Maxmind's last post: What do you mean by "split bounties are allowed"? I think you meant to say "are not allowed", as you also correctly write in the official forum post. Also, the last point isn't true, we did the bounties in the order of bonus acts and grabbed the cache after each time and both got the season journey completion awarded.
And yeah it sucks that everyone can only test this once, they need to allow us to reset the season journey. I hope this doesn't go live bugged...
Yes, I was level 70 on my try. We were running T3 bounties, IIRC, in a group of two, always staying together. Really, split bounties worked for you? Wow. Also, may I ask details about the pre-70 bounties? (Which difficulty, which level where you when you started/finished the bounties, group composition?)
I'd love to test more but how - you need a new account since you can't reset...
You can run split bounties for that objective as long as everyone turns them in together (everyone in the city where the bounty is being turned in).
Edit: Looks like they may have changed this again. IDK.
On topic: I'm pretty sure the chest and helm is the last gift you get (ch 4) but not sure about the first two.

Things are gonna be completed a lot faster from now on!
Even Leoric's Crown is gonna be able to drop from Skeleton King from like lvl5 or 6 now!
It's a fast fast world out there!
Edit: And I mean the 100% drop!

Wow, awesome details!
It's sort of strange that your friend got it even with split bounties. Totally buggy that part of the season journey

Hey Max. Yeah my info comes from early on in the PTR and all bets are off for any undocumented changes. Thanks for the updated info.
