The System gives you a quest. Every day.

Three new tasks land every day. 60 minutes of active play to finish them.

[QUEST INFO]

Daily Quest

Preparation to become strong
60 min
CombatDefeat 40 monsters0/40
GatheringMine 12 iron ore0/12
TrainingSprint0.0/1.5 km

  1. 3 tasks · pool of 36

    Combat, gathering and training. Never yesterday's, and they grow with your rank.

  2. 60 minutes of play

    The clock only runs while you play. New hunters get a 24-hour grace period.

  3. Rewards grow

    Bigger with every rank, and a 7-day streak stacks on top.

Two Gates open every 30 minutes.

One after the other, somewhere in the wild. Walk in: waves of monsters, then a boss.

  1. ELow threat
  2. DGuarded
  3. CDangerous
  4. BSevere
  5. ALethal
  6. SCatastrophic

  1. Split by damage

    Money, Shards and Hunter XP are shared by how hard you hit.

  2. Boss drops

    Bosses can drop gear fragments.

  3. Raise it

    The killer may raise the boss as a shadow.

[WARNING] Anomaly

Red Gate

It looks like any other Gate. Then it seals: nobody gets in or out until the boss dies. Double rewards for those who survive.

[WARNING]

Dungeon Break

Leave a Gate, and it breaks.

A Gate nobody clears in time can break open: its monsters and boss pour into the world around the portal for 15 minutes.

Stopping it pays

Mana Pressure & Calamity

Every Gate the hunters leave behind thickens the mana. The whole server feels it.

Mana Pressure

Loading

  1. +1 per Gate left

    Every Gate left uncleared, or Dungeon Break not stopped, raises it by 1.

  2. Stronger, richer

    Each level: monsters +15% stronger, money and Hunter XP +20%, Red Gates and Breaks likelier.

  3. Bring it down

    Clearing a Gate lowers it by 2. Stopping a Break resets it to 0.

[WARNING]

Calamity

At 5/5 with 5+ hunters online, three Dungeon Breaks (D, C and B) open at once near the hunters. 20 minutes to stop all three.

$15,000 + 3 Shards + 250 Hunter XP for everyone who fought, if all three are stopped. Then the pressure resets.
