Immortal Rift is a guild vs guild event on Saturday evenings from 20:00-22:00 depending on the level of battlefield. The levels include LV1 (100v100), Lv2 (60v60) and Lv3 (30v30).

Although it involves a lot of pvp, there is also some pve in it, and that is what wins rift.

Placing Markers

From Monday at 22:00 until Tuesday at 22:00, guild leaders can go to the rift lord and place three markers on territories. These markers help open up territories for bidding, and influence the statue that can bid on them. If the winning marker on a territory is Hydrus, then the Hydrus guilds can bid for a rift in that territory. If the guild does not hold territory, they can put a marker on any of the territories open to their statue. If the guild holds territory, they may only place markers on territory adjacent to the land that they hold.

Bidding for Rift

Each guild that wishes to participate that does not already hold a territory must bid for a battlefield at Ares the Rift Lord on Thursday evening before it closes some time between 21:30 and 22:00. When it closes depends on the bidding activity. Guilds that hold territory from last week's rift are automatically enrolled in the next week to defend their territory.

A guild can only bid on a territory that is not opposing their own statue/deity. A guild leader can change the statue/deity of the guild, but it will not take effect until after the new statue has been built and weekly reset has occurred. The deity points for the guild remain even though the statue/deity changes.

The funds for rift bidding come from the guild reserve fund and any funds won from the rift are added to the guild reserve funds.

How do I participate?

Any person in the guild that is at least lv50 and has been in the guild 72hrs (before the territory bidding is opened for the week) or longer before rift starts may participate.

Although a combat mount and license is not required, they are recommended. You can buy a short term license in rift from one of the npcs if you forget to get a license.

Please read how rift is done and ask any questions you may have well in advance of attending rift as it is extremely difficult for people to guide you through it once the battle has started.

You will need to talk to Ares next to the Alexander in Twilight Hall. You can be on any realm, however meeting on the same realm as your party allows for you to buff while waiting for the battle to open.

This is Ares back in Freedom Harbor days.

Choose the correct Battlefield from the Battlefields tab - look for the one that says your guild's name if your guild has a rift. If your guild did not win a rift or doesn't own a territory, you may still be able to enter an open rift. An open rift is a territory battle that had not received a bid. The rift will be open to any guild member from a guild that owns a statue other than the one that the defending guild has. (If the defending guild is Hydrus, and your guild is Hydrus, you cannot participate in that open rift 😟 )

Once you click Enter, you will be ported to the battlefield.

Once inside:

Take the quests from the npcs inside. There should be three quests altogether.

Gather with your party and find out what refinery and mine(s) you plan to go after first. Wait at the appropriate gate until it opens and you can get to the refinery.

Stick together!

The battlefield is laid out like this. Blue base is the defending guild, red base is the attacking guild. You can access this during rift by opening your map.

Objective:

Each guild has a base with 350 durability. Each guild will try to lower the durability of the other guild's base. The first base lowered to 0 loses.

To lower the durability, your guild must collect crystals from the refineries to power up your cannon to fire on your opponent. In order to produce crystals, your team must occupy a refinery until it is captured by your guild. You can also occupy a mine to produce even more crystals. The more members you have in an area, the faster you will capture the area.

On this map you will see what looks like a cluster of crystals. Each of these is a checkpoint that you must bring your cart to once you have it - you only need to bring it to the two check points in the north or the south, depending on which refinery you got your cart from. You can click on them on the map to auto route :)

In addition to getting crystals back to your base to power your cannon, you can attack your opponent's two towers directly to lower their shield and increase your cannon's effectiveness.

How to get crystals:

Once you have a mine and refinery captured, you will see a cart station appear (the glowing blue thing pictured here). Hover your cursor over it until you see a hand, then click to receive the cart. You will also receive a speed skill that you shoul attach to your quick bar.

Once you are in the cart, you will be able to take a lot of damage, so just keep moving. Find your checkpoint on the map and click to go to it - OR use the autoroute in the quest you get with the cart.

Once at the checkpoint, talk to the npc and go to the next checkpoint.

You can also collect Rare Cryolite that spawns in middle of the battlefield. There is a quest for this as well; however, it is hard to find and risky to get as there are a lot of people trying to kill you as you collect.

Captured Mine - Auto-delivers crystals at a rate of about 1 per minute.
Rare Cryolite delivery- 5 crystals
Cart delivery - 15 crystals

Teleporting in rift:
There's a big crystal at each end of the field. Choose "Mark Teleport site"/ "Start Teleporting". Once you mark the crystal, you can transport back to it by talking to teleporter Marlow in your base. Very useful for repeatedly attacking the towers.

Rift end:
When rift ends, you will see an announcement stating that your guild won or lost. There will be about 5 more minutes to finish your quests before you will be automatically transported out of the instance. There is no trackstone or npc teleporter that can take you out of the instance. If you would like to leave early, you will have to use your town portal or log out.

Rift reward ceremony:
After all the rifts are done and the scores have been tabulated by the game, there will be a guild chat announcement letting the guild know how much their guild received from participating in the rift. The fund go into the reserves. Only after this announcement can the guild leader go to the altar to activate the rift reward ceremony. The guild leader is the only one that can activate this. These npcs go dormant for a period of time starting at 23:00 Sunday. If the guild leader wants to ensure that the ceremony is started in the week the rift was run, they should start it before then. If they don't start the ceremony by that time, they can still open it after reset, however guild members can only collect the waiter rewards once a week. So, to make sure that the members get the maximum rewards, it's important to open this ceremony before weekly reset!

To activate the ceremony, the guild leader needs to go to the altar area in base and talk to one of the four rift rewards npcs: 1st place rewards, 2nd place rewards, 3rd place rewards, and 4th place rewards. Only one will be have the Open active - whichever place the guild got for rift. Once the guild leader talks to the npc, they receive a bundle of goods which includes combat licenses and flux boxes. A waiter will appear. Guild members 50+, regardless if they attended rift or not, can receive the rewards from this waiter. Once the member takes the rewards, they will receive 10 mins of great exp by staying near the statue! These rewards are only available for 30 mins, so it's important to hurry!

Taking the rewards from the waiter are solo-based, meaning that one person taking rewards does not affect another's ability to get rewards. So take the rewards! Also, by taking the rewards, you receive guild points and add to the guild's financial points by 30! Even if you don't stay for the exp or don't need the pots the waiter has, taking them helps the guild build up some financial points - especially if we're collecting that week!

All guilds that had a winning bid for a rift territory war, regardless if they won the actual war, are eligible to receive these rewards.

Win rewards:
If the guild also won their rift, in addition to gaining a territory, the guild leader can talk to the altar to receive a special reward. Most of the time it is advanced runes. Sometimes it is a purple piece of gear of a random class. The guild leader cannot talk to the altar while the ceremony is active.

Highlights of Dysil Expansion

Some of the things we have found in the new expansion:
[newly updated 12/16/13]

Guild Base/Quests
Enigma has built the Jeweler construction and Dragon Tower. The Jeweler allows you to buy things for your jewelry job. The Dragon Tower is a raid that allows up to 18 people to join, all are in one party, and they can be non-guild members. FYI - the dragon is tough. really tough.

We are in the process of building the riding camp building in our base. This will give you quests that will help level your riding abilities.

Extract scrolls can now be bought from Lawrence with guild merit and no longer requires additional trade gold.

There are many new quests that you can do weekly in the guild base that give you quite a bit of soul gold. They mostly consist of talking to the npc until he gives you the money :P

The cashier in base now gives you soul gold based on the amount of contribution you have. As you contribute more, he will offer more soul gold - so keep checking him throughout the week.

The guild base quests will now give you a variety of other materials upon completion as well as the gem box. Guild base load stones are quite common.

Pets
Your pet will auto-call when landing from flying if you had it out before you took off.

Your pet auto-calls when you start combat assist, but if you recall it, it stays in.

Pets can no longer receive Dragon Power buffs :(

There are mobs in the crucible that you can kill for exp and they drop nice pet goodies :)

Guide Quests
The guide quests for many of the quests have been reset and will offer you soul leaves upon completion. And some of them you don't even need to have completed - I was never an apprentice and can no longer be one due to my level, but it still gave me the soul leaves for the quest. Click the book above your map circle to receive a quest to complete.

The guide quests can no longer be taken directly from the book in the H menu. There is a little book in a bar that tends to sit above the map (although this bar is moveable). The guide quests come in order as you click the book. You can have more than one open guide quest, but you must have enough bag space. quest space, be the right level, and complete any of the prerequisite quests first.

Audience with the King quest for vice/virtue doesn't show up until after the First Kill quest. Some people think that you have to complete the First Kill quest in order to get the King's quest, but I have gotten the King's quest on 3 characters without completing the First Kill quest at all (two of those chars had never even been to arena, ever). Two of these chars were in their 70s and one was in their 60s - so level doesn't seem to matter either. Some are saying that their book goes away after they get the First Kill quest. I had that same thing happen with one of them, but later the book appeared. I am not sure what triggered its reappearance. It may have been from completing a main quest or one of the existing guide quests the char had opened. I do know that completing the First Kill quest will also bring the book back and let you continue; so if you are really stuck, you should be able to continue your guide quests after completing that quest. You do not need to personally make the kill in arena, you just need to be alive when one of your party kills someone. Sometimes letting the other party know that you need one for that quest helps :)

Soul Leaves
Prayer can give soul leaves!

Masha will have soul leaves for you depending on how many achievements you have completed.

You only have to reach 120 dedication in a week to get 100 soul leaves from Shylia Market! And you still get the 300 soul leaves if you get 240 ded.

General
You can get Love Tokens from the wedding manager without being married by completing his daily quest.

There are two new skill scrolls that you can get for priests for wineglasses and soul gold from the npc in Sleeping Jungle - Angelic Harmony 1 and Sympathy 2!!!!

Your soulforce trinket is now upgradeable by feeding materials to it. The materials - gloop - come from getting kills in arena.

There is a Lionheart Training Camp where you can get a weapon that you can build up instead of having to trade in for a new weapon as you level.

You can get 14 day fashion and mount from a guy near the arena manager. There is also a guy in Nightfall that will give these to you.

You will use the trackstones while autorouting if it creates a shorter route.

This will be updated as new things are discovered, so check back :)

LCS Daybreaker

Level: 60+
Location: T party menu What Passes for Fate grouping
Number of entries: unlimited
Late entry: no

This instance takes place on a boat with two side boats. If your party is mostly below 70, you will have trouble completing the whole boat - you will want to do left wing only. Although you can get in at 60, you will see many parties asking for 70+ or 75+ only. This is to ensure that they have a party for full boat. If you do the full boat, and you get enough points, you can turn them in immediately for a scroll box that produces a random blue or purple skill scroll.

I recommend having a party with two healers; if something happens to one, you have a backup.

The faster you kill the mobs that show up, the more courage pts your party will get. These courage pts are what you turn in to Charlotte at the end for the extra rewards. Pets can steal kills, so it may be advisable to not use the pets on the mobs at all.

I have had good experience with killing the mobs further up the boat, close to where they spawn, rather than attacking them from near the bridge.

When the boss comes, you want to be amongst the crates at the front of the boat. The hits from the boss are not as hard if you stand there.

As soon as the left side is done, run to the right side and repeat.

When the right side is done, you will fight mobs on the main boat. It is very important that no one have any pets out during this fight. The pets can either keep the mobs trapped under the ship not allowing your party to attack them - OR, they can aggravate the mobs so much that their attack increases and your party starts to wipe. It doesn't happen all the time, but really not worth taking the chance; and once it starts, it is hard to reverse.

If you have at least 2600 courage pts after this middle boat battle, you should have enough at the end for a scroll box!

Once these middle mobs are done, and you see the announcement for the main boss, run to the front of the main boat. Do not attack the boss until everyone is in position. The boss will not attack until he is attacked. Anyone not amongst the crates can die pretty easy and ressing after that is hard.

If you do die during this last part, have the person who has aggro turn the boss so that he is attacking across the ship. Ressurect and run to the side ship to hp up. Run along the side of the main boat to the front of the ship.

Each death reduces the number of courage pts your party receives, so it's best that no one dies.

Once the main boss is dead, you can go back to where you entered the boat and find Charlotte. She will have rewards that you can buy with your pts from that run. you need 4200 for a blue skill scroll and 4400 for a purple skill scroll. If you don't have enough for a skill scroll, I recommend getting the soul gem box. They are unbound after opening and can be sold in AH. Use up all your pts as they are lost once you leave.

There is also an npc on this boat that offers skill boosters that you can purchase with courage pts. These do help somewhat, but their real benefit is in the achievements that they can give you.

Guild Midas

Level: 60+
Requirement: must have 80 dedication and guild construction envelopes
Location: guild base
Duration: 1 hour
Reward: large chunk of soul power and exp, as well as trade gold for each envelope completed dependent on the amount of dedication that you have at the time

The event is fairly simple: during the time that the guild midas is activated, complete construction envelopes to get the extra rewards. The quests do not change from regular envelope quests, you just get an extra reward for doing them.

The Guild Leader or Interior Officer can open this event. It can only be done two times a week. The envelopes must be redeemed during the hour that the event is open to get the rewards.

We have chosen Friday at 23:30 to allow enough time in the week for people to get their 80 ded and the time allows for two days worth of envelopes to be done during the event as reset happens during the event and makes a new set of envelopes available.
Sunday at 16:00 was chosen as it is right after Astral Shine and it allows more people to participate due to it being during the day and the last day of the week when more people will be likely to have had an opportunity to have 80 ded.

New Guild Buildings Coming!!

Dysil’s Wrath: You must construct additional guild buildings!

By dreamdefender @ October 10, 2013 at 10:00am on the Forsaken World main page.

No Comments »

Just when you thought Guild Bases couldn't get any sweeter, we take it up a notch! There are several new Guild buildings that will be available in the upcoming content update: Dysil's Wrath.

Garden Satellite

For "green thumb" guilds that have a garden built, you will be able to access the Garden Satellite.

This tiny planet allows botanists with a botany level of 6 or greater to harvest Magical Flowers and Alien Plants. As you may have guessed by their names, these are no average plants. Each harvest has a chance of yielding Soul Leaves or Fusion Gems.

Mineral Satellite

If a guild already loves all things earthy with a geology building already built, they will get access to the Mineral Satellite.

On this satellite, miners can harvest special rocks which have a chance to award Fusion Gems, Star Shards, Star Fragments, and even Star Diamonds.

Riding Training Camp

Climbing onto your mount takes quite a while for the novice, but not for a properly trained rider! Once your guild builds this new structure, the Riding Training Camp, you can learn to shorten the casting time for mounts!

The Riding Trainer outside is just waiting for you. No really, just for you!

Gem Workshop

Once this new marvelous wonder is built, you can exchange Merit and Soul Gold for Jade Gold. Jade Gold can be used to purchase gemboxes up to Ghastly Flare Gembox Lv 3! Exchange lower level gemboxes for soul gold to buy even higher level gemboxes!

That little net must be for catching rare gems. It has to be… what else could it be for?

Dragon Tower

To enter the new instance, Dysil's Crux, first the Dragon Tower must be built. Team up together and ascend the levels of this tower for some great rewards. Once you have slain the dragons, return to the Dragon Tower Recruiter to exchange the loot for mounts, titles, and even legendary jewelry!

Work together with your guild mates, gather the resources, and construct additional buildings!

All this and more can be yours in Forsaken World: Dysil's Wrath!

Mounted Combat

[update: this quest has been available for a long time, but I'm leaving it here just in case ;)]

Mounted combat is useful for completing quests without dismounting. Although many think of it as a pvp thing, it is extremely useful in pve as well.

You can get this quest from one of the npcs in the upper level of the library in FH. This quest will direct you to Beastly Windfang.

Beastly will ask you to find the location of the Fighter Spirit in Emperor's Canyon (the actual place, not the instance), summon it, then defeat it within a given amount of time. Use your flying mount to save time.

The location of the fighter soul is just southwest of the LCS entrance (see the yellow arrow in the lower right corner of this map). Once you defeat him, use your flying mount to go back to Beastly on Bonechewer Path. There will be an autoroute to go back to him.

Beastly will give you the ancient blood for your efforts. You will need to unseal this in order to use it.

Once unsealed, you will bring this and your mount to the guy in FH. He will use the blood to make your mount a combat mount. The blood can only be used once, so be sure that you have the mount that you want.

Beastly will suggest that you get a mounted combat license from his brother. He will give you a quest that will autoroute you to Morin in the Sleeping Jungle.

Morin will send you looking for Beastly's brother, Drogan. There is an autoroute in the quest.

He will tell you he needs you to find Pansco.

Pansco will ask you to do a couple things for him. Once you have completed all of his tasks, he will give you the antidote for Myne, Drogan's dog.

Target Myne and right click the antidote in your bag. Myne may be in a bad mood afterwards and attack you, so be prepared. Once you have administered the remedy, Drogan will give you the combat license.

Welcome to the wonderful world of mounted combat! You can get additional licenses from Vanessa using mentor points. They may also be available as a reward for completing rift. You can also buy them from AH, players, and Eyrda Boutique.

Although the licenses do expire, your mount will be permanently combat ready - you only need to have a license to use this feature.
