🌀 The Rift: Eternal Bastion
The Eternal Bastion is a map you cannot walk into whenever you feel like it. It opens on a schedule, runs for two hours and then closes, moving everyone inside back out. We call it the Rift.
🗓 WHEN
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 19:00 to 21:00 (UTC+3). Two hours, three times a week.
🚪 HOW TO GET IN
The Rift portal appears in both capitals — Sanctum and Pandaemonium — exactly for the duration of the window and vanishes with it. Walk up and step through. There are no restrictions: both factions, solo or in a group, no VIP required.
The command ".pvp info" shows whether the Rift is open, how many minutes are left and how many players are inside. ".pvp leave" takes you out.
🐉 BOSSES
For every opening the server picks 7 raid bosses out of sixteen — a fresh line-up each time, so you never know in advance who is waiting.
The bosses are placed apart, no closer than 120 metres to one another: you can fight one without pulling the next. They spawn once, at the moment the window opens. A boss you kill will not return until the next Rift — this is a race, not a farm.
🔑 KEYS AND CHESTS
There are 242 chests of three kinds on the map, and each needs its own key:
• Protectorate’s Treasure Chest — 132 of them, opened with the small key
• Protectorate’s Treasure Crate — 90 of them, opened with the regular key
• Protectorate’s Treasure Box — 20 of them, opened with the large key
Keys drop with certainty from 40 keymasters scattered across the bastion. Chookuri and Niksi carry the small key, Zumita the regular one, Dabra the large one. Regular mobs drop keys too, though far more rarely.
Chests do not stand alone — they come in clusters of two to four, right where the mobs are thickest. A chest opened with a key returns to the same spot after 5 minutes, so a corner you cleared is worth revisiting. One smashed for nothing, without a key, stays gone until the next Rift.
💎 WHAT YOU CAN CARRY OUT
The prize is level 70 composite manastones, the highest in the game. Beyond those: Seramium medals, ancient crowns, goblets, seals and icons. Bosses drop Omega stones, amplification stones, tempering solutions, ancient coins, blood marks, idians and Empyrean plumes. The gold chest can yield an Epsilon stone.
PvP inside the Rift pays double Abyss Points.
⚔️ THE GARRISON IS ELITE NOW
Every inhabitant of the bastion has been promoted to elite. They hit harder, take more punishment, and resist critical strikes and crowd control far better. In exchange they give double XP and Abyss Points — so walking in alone in weak gear is a poor plan.
⚠️ WORTH KNOWING
• Dying does not throw you out — you revive at your faction’s point inside the map and carry on.
• When the window closes, everyone is moved out, no exceptions.
• Once you leave, you cannot come back for 2 minutes.
🔄 WHAT COMES NEXT
Loot and contents will be updated on a rolling basis: drops, bosses and chests will keep changing. In time the Rift will start alternating with other locations — every change will be announced in advance.
Sharpen your blade. The Rift is waiting.
