Rules worth remembering

  • Squad drops don't multiply. Torment, Abaddon, Lunar and Azure fragments drop once per squad. Extra characters in the same squad add nothing, but separate squads each get their own.
  • Dailies are personal. Cube of Fate room 50 and the Dawnlight Halls reward are once per character per day; Nirvana Palace is three runs per character per day. Each eligible alt gets its own allowance.
  • Nirvana Palace needs at least 2 characters in the squad to open. Three runs a day per character, 3 Tisha Charts each, so 9 a day per character.
  • Dawnlight Halls keys. Each character can grab 1 key a day, but can run 1 Judgement (4 Darkflame) and 1 Deicide (2 Darkflame) a day if they have spare keys.
  • Everything is tradeable. All Tome Refinement materials can be bought and sold, so the daily gates can be bypassed with coin.
  • Lunar Glade needs both Tombstones in Humorum Valley destroyed before Primal Fear drops fragments.
  • Warsong City requires protecting all five Incarnations and killing the five elemental bosses before The Incacerate drops.
  • Dawnlight Halls needs kill credit on Nightmare Wyrm, Fireforged Changeling or Kailia, and Natya Veda. Natya Veda has a 50% chance at 10 Drake Fragments split across the squad.
  • Refining to +12 grants stat bonuses and extra Spirit. The Spirit cap rose from 1500 to 2500 in 1.8.9.
