Events Overview

Propose an edit History

Ancients runs a rotating set of recurring events that fire across the network all season long. The fastest way to see what's live is the in-game /events menu — it lists every timed server event with a one-line description and a live countdown or status for each, and the grid recenters itself around whatever is currently listed.

Ambient content that runs continuously rather than on a clock is no longer in that menu: shades and wraiths and the Tartarus Rift were both taken out of /events.

Many events stay locked until the community pushes them open. Most are gated behind the Community Fund, and switch on as the season progresses — a locked event shows Locked (/fund) in the /events menu until its tier is funded. As the Fund fills, more of the rotation comes online.

The kinds of events

Combat & PvP

Fight other players for high-value rewards.

The Erebus Cap (LMS) has been removed from the game, along with /lms and its daily reward. Regular Erebus Guards still patrol The Pit.

Sky & mining

Events that drop out of the sky or light up the mines.

Wilds (PvE)

Roaming threats and traders out in the open worlds.

  • Erebus Tears: a breach opens in the overworld and pours out waves of spirits until its Tearkeeper falls.
  • Shades & Wraiths: the haunts of the Forgotten Polis.
  • The Oracle: a wandering trader with one-off goods.

The Tartarus Rift is its own thing now

The Tartarus Rift is no longer a scheduled server event — it's a personal daily activity you start by talking to the Riftkeeper at spawn whenever you like. It has its own dedicated set of guides rather than a slot in the /events rotation.

Shared rewards

Events aren't isolated — they feed the same progression systems. Expect them to pour into Hunter Points (/hunter), Clue Scrolls, Season Pass challenges, and shared loot like boss essence, flares, and booster boxes. Doing events is one of the steadiest ways to make progress across the board.
