That's not the way to do it, and this person is being lazy and waiting for something to just fall in their lap. The proper way is to go around clearing other nearby Fates so they cycle more, and that Fate you need is not trying to spawn while the maximum number of Fates for that area are already in progress.
That's all fine and dandy... except a few of these fates spawn for extremely short periods of time. "Heroes of the 2nd" as soon as it spawns its already gone, and getting anything lower than gold will get you no credit on book. Theirs a few other fates but I cant remember them.
