Just finished my 40/40, I had days where I got nowhere with my runs.
This is an absolute RNG sh.tshow and pretty much hardest RNG we had since, I believe, Delve league. I hate it but I liked the league mechanic too much I didn't mind most of the reruns of the sanctum.
I wish they would make it into the core game.

This was the last one I finished. By that time, I was 14/17. It took 3 days of spamming Sanctums to get this done. I got nothing on day 1, only repeats, so that was a bummer. Then I got 1 on day 2, and finally the last 2 on day 3. Every time I found one it was like winning the lottery lmao
Like everyone said, Major Afflictions are very hard to find and they make up a lot of that list. Except for Bronze Coin, all of the ones I still don't have are Major Afflictions.
As far as I know, the only way to get them is the Accursed Pact. I'm not sure about fountains, but I read that Benevolent/Afflicted fountains can give major boons/afflictions.
Anyway, here's what I did:
- Just spammed sanctums. Open map, find sanctum, pop eater/exarch, port out.
- My priority is Pacts > Fountains > Merchant. I put Merchant last because you cannot get Major Afflictions from her, which is all I was really farming in the end. If you still have a lot of Major boons, then Merchant should go second.
- Avoid Black Smoke, it's bad. Golden Smoke will brick your run. I was forced into Golden Smoke once and I just restarted the sanctum.
- Keep 3 minor afflictions on you at all times so can get the 3 for 1 deal at a Pact.
Gz dude!
I had 2 major inflictions at once in my last sanctum run so I kinda speedrun it from 14 to 17 in one day. This was a long long grind, I wish I have focused this one with other end game grinds, I kinda did but didn't expect it to be this hard.

Is there a level requirement for some of these things to pop up?

A friend of mine said that he farmed these on a lvl 33 character at the start of city of sarn. I tried it there with blade traps and 2.5k es stuff with ephermal blades, you oneshot everything. But I enjoyed mapping more and it was profitable with easy ping pong on atoll-coves maps.

Absolutely rubbish challenge. I've been running sanctum non-stop for 6 days, at least 10+ hours per day and I'm still stuck at 14/17.
There were days I got 0, days I get 2. GGG needs to do something about this rubbish asap.

Strategy inside Sanctum:
1) PACT - the highest priority (can get buff and debuff)
2) Then MERCHANT - can buy major buff or minor-to-major buff convertor
3) Then FOUNTAINS - very small chance to get major
For fountains, is it only certain kinds of fountains? Each afflicted fountain I see only says "Minor." Or is it on rare occasions, the afflicted fountain will say "Major"? (Or do you get a major sometimes even though it says minor?)

There are three types of fountains :
- with buff
- with debuff
- radiant
So fountain with buff and debuff have super small chance to give MAJOR (buff or debuff). I am not sure about radiant one.
But I don't recommend to get to that fountains if you have possibility to get to the PACT or MERCHANT room.

What I mean is, does the fountain SAY "Major" when you hit that chance to get major? Because every fountain I ran into the mouse over says "Minor."
