Some of these seem to require Renown 12 with the Hallowfall Arathi. I did not loot any from creatures yet, but Arathi Treasure Hoards in Hallowfall (The War Within) started to contain them as quest starter items.

I just got A Clutch of Eggs while running the Mycomancer Cavern delve. It was a clutch of eggs on the ground during The Great Scavenger Hunt variant that I could interact with.

I looted a Glass Eye that gave me a quest for Hillhelm Family: Uncle's Eye from an Invasive Lashroom at /way 63.79, 31.21

The Plowhead from Dark-Crazed Harvester at /way 64 26

Comment by Veleran

A Lost Shoe is in the water at the northern most part of the Mycomancer Cavern delve. I had the Mushroom Morsel story when I found it.

A clutch of Eggs was also in the same delve. /way 58.9 32.6

Lil Piggy is found at /way 64.77, 26.53.
You need the Sparkbug Jar to see it, and renown 12 to loot it.

Friend looted Lily's Locket from Hillhelm Lunchbox, at /way 65.20 34.01.
Also requires Sparkbug Jar to see it, and renown 12 to loot it.
edit: I found Lily's Locket from Arathi Treasure Hoard west of the Veneration Ground. It seems to drop randomly from bigger chests anywhere on Hallowfall, not exclusively from the Light's Blooming area.

The Ear and Unusual Potato looted from Shadowrooted Vine.
You need Darkroot Grippers to pull the root. Sold by Chef Dinaire, /way 64.4, 31.0.

When you reach renown 12 with Hallowfall Arathi you can loot lost Hillhelm items from creatures in spreading the Light

It seems that The Lost Diary is currently bugged and gives the same quest as the Expedition Tinderbox.

I got the diary and tinderbox from the Hillhelm Lunchbox. When I turned in the quest for the tinderbox, the diary disappeared as well and did not get any credit for it. Then I realized I received the error "you are already on that quest" upon looting. I checked here on wowhead and "The Lost Flame" quest is infact granted by both items. This means that anyone who has gotten the tinderbox will likely never get the diary until this is fixed.. It also means that you can't complete this achievment at this time and will be left missing the diary.

I went on an alt and looted the lunchbox, but did not recieve the Diary so I think it just is one of the items that has a chance to drop from the Arathi Treasure Hoard or other treasures that are confirmed to drop these items.

Please report this bug in the hopes that it gets fixed soon (tm).

** got the lost diary from an Arathi treasure on an alt at the same time as the tinderbox again, and I didn't actually get the diary in my bags, just the tinderbox.

The first 5 quests on this achievement can be started without any pre-requisites

Seeds of Evil - Starts at Aliya Hillhelm at 61.2, 30.6
Follow Miral - Available after completing Seeds of Evil
Save Tomothy - Available after completing Follow Miral
Keep the Home Fires Burning - Starts at Aliya Hillhelm at 61.2, 30.6
/way #2215 61.2, 30.6 Aliya Hillhelm

Eggs in One Basket - Starts at Egg Basket at 60.8, 27.9
/way #2215 60.8, 27.9 Egg Basket

After completing the inital 5 quests, the only way to progress is by reaching Renown 12 with the Hallowfall Arathi faction
This grants "Lighting the Way IV: Lost Hillhelm family items can now be found from creatures in the Spreading the Light event"

Two quest starters can be found in the Mycomancer Cavern Delve
A Lost Shoe - The A Lost Shoe item can be looted from the Lost Shoe container at 39.1, 21.9
A Clutch of Eggs - The Chicken Eggs item can be looted from the Egg Clutch container at 58.6, 31.9 or 66.8, 73.2

Two quests starters can be found when pulling up Shadowrooted Vine
Buy the Darkroot Grippers from Chef Dinaire and use the item. This gives you the 8 hour Shadowrooted Grippers buff and allows you to pull up the Shadowrooted Vine around the area
In order to see the vendor, you have to light the Lesser Keyflame at 64.4, 31.0 with three Radiant Remnant
When doing this, you will have a chance to also pull up the following quest starters:

/way #2215 64.4 31.0 Lesser Keyflame
/way #2215 64.4, 31.0 Chef Dinaire
Note: If you can't interact with vines after using the Darkroot Grippers, leave the area and come back.

Another quest starter is available to loot from a container in the area, but you first need to use an item that allows you to locate hidden items
Items that provide light include: Sparkbug Jar, Flickering Flame Holder, Patrol Torch, etc.
Lil Piggy - Lil Piggy can be found at 64.7, 26.5 and interacting gives the Lil Piggy item
/way #2215 64.7, 26.5 Lil Piggy

These quest starters appear to drop from standard mobs in the Light's Blooming area

Uncle's Eye - I looted my Uncle's Eye from an Invasive Lasher at 64.7, 33.2
The Plowhead - I looted my Plowhead from a Dark-Crazed Harvester at 65.0, 28.9

These quest starters appear to drop from zone treasure chests

The Chicken - I looted my Wilber The Chicken from a Fisherman's Pouch treasure at 56.1, 14.5
Lily's Locket - I looted my Lily's Locket from a Farm Satchel treasure at 65.0, 25.9
Lost Diary - I looted my The Lost Diary from a Fisherman's Pouch treasure at 56.1, 14.5

~~Bugged~~ THIS HAS BEEN FIXED
Lost Diary is currently bugged and giving players the incorrect quest. Blizzard will hopefully hotfix this soon.
This item also appears to drop from zone treasure chests

I found Lil' Piggy at 64.75, 26,53, in-between the fence and bush in the fields. I looked at the spot next to the rock but it wasn't there, may have multiple spawn points

Comment by woolhead1989

found old rotting crate with the chicken at /way 64.64 31.61
need some illuminating item like the torch

Comment by Claptrapp

Looks like these items are weekly.

Uncle's Eye
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(82964))
Wilber The Chicken
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(82961))
Lil Piggy
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(82963))
Plowhead
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(82968))
Unusual Potato
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(82966))

These items are unique since they are flagged as true after the weekly reset:

The Ear
A Lost Shoe
Lily's Locket

Edit : For people who think its funny to downvote when its true, there is a proof, its weekly reset and i dropped the chicken again with the reputation
https://prnt.sc/hCk3fe0BH_0z

Edit 2 : This is a theory but I think you can only drop 4 of the 5 items per week, just check with the macros if you are eligible or not to drop them.

Comment by FlasKamel

This was so fun to work on until I reached the last ones of just opening tiny treasures that are impossible to find/spot :(

Comment by Amysthera

Has anyone else the issue that "Lost Diary" does not count?

Comment by lostcol0ny

I just found The Lost Diary in an Arathi Treasure Hoard and it gave me the quest . This was the only one I was missing, and turning in the quest awarded me the achievement. As of today, it appears this bug has been fixed.

Comment by dannysis1337

Just found The Lost Diary again after picking it up and completing the diary before the fix and it giving "Expedition Tinderbox" which gives the quest "The Lost Flame". So it is possible to loot it again "correctly" and complete towards the achievement.

Comment by yuriken

An anecdote that might be helpful from my pre/post-hotfix experience.

I was a character who had previously looted The Lost Diary and turned in the bugged quest that it gave (The Lost Flame) before the hotfix on 2024-09-09.
After the 2024-09-09 hotfix, I was not automatically awarded credit for the Life on the Farm achievement from my previous The Lost Flame turn-in.
After the 2024-09-09 hotfix, I was able to loot The Lost Diary again, for me it dropped from an Arathi Treasure Hoard. It gave me the correct quest now (), which I was able to turn in to complete my Life on the Farm achievement.

It dropped for me in about 20 or so chest openings.

Comment by Hamen

It seems that you have to target an Invasive Lashroom while pulling a vine to get Radiant Remnants and the quest items.

I was getting nothing from vines until I happened to have a Lashroom targeted and I received a Radiant Remnant. Within 2 pulls while targeting a lashroom, I got the Umbral Eggplant and Unusual Potato. Within 10, I got The Ear. The Lashroom doesn't need to be alive for this to work.

Hope this helps.

Comment by Canonic

I must be super unlucky. I now have 700 shards from pulling vines for The Ear and killing Lashrooms for Uncle's Eye. I also can't find Lil' Piggy anywhere

Comment by Tandestoker

I got chicken & locket from the same arathi treasure hoard drop
