The Tartarus Rift
The Tartarus Rift is a personal, on-demand mining activity. Drop in whenever you have daily time left, mine as much valuable ore as you can across continuous rounds, and bank points that convert into Rift Marks — a currency you spend on a permanent skill tree and exclusive Rift Caches.
It's not a scheduled event and there's no queue: talk to the Riftkeeper at spawn, or run /rift, and you're in.
The Rift unlocks once the community completes Fund II (see /fund).
The loop, in short
- Enter through the Riftkeeper or
/rift— your inventory is stored safely and you're handed a Rift kit. - Mine ore for points across back-to-back rounds. Your daily time only ticks while you're actually mining.
- Leave any time (
/rift leave). Your points become Rift Marks, and your real inventory comes back. - Spend Rift Marks on the skill tree (permanent upgrades) and Rift Caches (loot), and climb Rift Prestige.

Version history
v2.0.0
- The Tartarus Rift is now a personal daily activity — enter through the new Riftkeeper at spawn (or
/rift) whenever you want, with no queue or wait. (It was previously a scheduled, server-wide Rift event.)
v3.0.0
- Rift Prestige and every skill tree node dropped their player-level requirements: Rift Marks and your Rift Prestige are the only gates left.
- The Prison Break Points Earned tracker is now called Rift Points Earned; your recorded total carries over.
- Rift event pickaxes can no longer be dropped into either wormhole.
- The Rift no longer appears in
/events, which now lists timed server events only. Enter it from the Riftkeeper or/riftexactly as before.
