New Dungeon: Valona's Rift (Timescape)

The brand new instance will feature a vast background with an interesting story and of course new enemies.

 

What is Valona’s Dimensional Rift?

 

You’re probably wondering how this dimensional rift came to be right?
Well, the answer is none other than due to the work of the Archdevas.
In order to conquer Arborea the Archdevas have created a machine to open up the walls between dimensions. As you may have realized now — Shandra Manaya had also used the rift to traverse into our realm.

Traversing further into the unknown dimension they find a star being crafted around a blue dimensional nucleus. The reasons for its creation and its use is still a mystery and only the master, Valona, knowns its true powers and intentions.

KTERA: The new NEXUS

Backstory

 

After Dakuryon fled Arx Umbra the Arc Devan army had been quiet for some time until now.
It seems they had been quietly working on opening up yet another dimensional rift to send their mass Demokron forces into Highwatch. Their plan was to weaken the Federation’s power with sheer force and numbers of the Demokrons.
The Demokrons are tireless and the Federation’s forces were surely weakening from the never ending onslaught of these grotesque creatures. That is until the Federation and the Barakas of Highwatch had come to a conclusion that facing these head on will only break their spirits and their people. They had to stop these creatures at the source — to close the Nexus.

 

The Nexus Defensive

 

This new Nexus is much like its old counterpart where multiple players are able to participate in the open world event.
Players are to protect the dimensional stabilizers from the Demokron army while it works to close the Nexus spawned across Norther Arun.
The Demokrons are countless and will attack at once. Therefore it is inadvisable to concentrate on saving one point but to spread out and protect as many points for higher rewards.

 

The Strategy

 

When the Nexus opens up the guards of Highwatch will head out to place the dimensional stabilizers at key locations. These locations will be shown on the map (M) and players are able to teleport directly to the devices to protect.

Much like the old Nexus only a limited number of players are able to pick up quests in one area. The points will also show how many players are present and this will help greatly in knowing which points still lack the players to protect the device.
Remember, the more points saved simultaneously the better the rewards!
As per before, talk to the NPC to receive the quest.

The Defense

 

Once the Nexus is fully opened the Demokrons will flow through the gap towards the devices from all directions.
The devices will take some time to close the Nexus and your job will be to protect it until they finish.

During the fight, the enemy may drop a peculiar orb. If you pick one up you will receive a strange aura and will be granted special skills for a limited time.
Use this to fight off the enemy and protect the device!
