Codex Rifts¶
In the decades following the Codex War, scholars studied the magical artifacts recovered from the fallen forces. Among their discoveries were strange, otherworldly creatures they called rift spawns - entities capable of tearing openings between realms and moments in time.
When these rift spawns are defeated, there is a chance a rift gate forms at the site of their death. These gates shimmer with fractured magic and open windows back to Britannia during the early dark days of the Codex War. Travelers who step through find themselves fighting in those battles - armies still clash, towns still burn, and Rift Masters command the assault from within.
Rift spawns¶
Rift Spawns are stronger, enhanced versions of normal monsters that can appear in their place.
The higher the creature's fame, the greater the chance it will spawn as a Rift Spawn.
Rift gate¶
Defeating a Rift Spawn may open a Rift Gate, giving players access to the Rift, which is a shared instance with other players.
- Gate spawn chance: 1% (lowest fame creatures) scaling up to 50% (fame 32.000)
- Only players within 16 tiles of the kill are added to the allowed list and can enter
- The gate closes automatically after 45 seconds

Inside the rift the same felucca rules apply, pvp is enabled.
You will find 8 Champion areas and one guarded zone with a bank, stable and some vendors.
You have sixty minutes at your disposal, after which you will be teleported out to the Dawn Event Center.
The rift map gump shows the timer, and it also highlights active champs with a green dot.
Rift Shards¶
Rift Shards are a currency earned inside the Rift, they can be exchanged for rewards at the Dawn Event Center.
Any monster in the Rift has a small chance to award Rift Shards, while bosses will always award them as long as you contributed enough damage.
Codex fragments¶
Codex fragments are used to craft Codex Bindings, which are then used to bless Runebooks.
Any monster in the Rift has a small chance of dropping them.
When they drop, you'll hear a glass breaking sound effect, followed by the system message You hear the faint sound of a shard.
Fragment drop
When they drop, they will not be placed in your backpack. You need to loot them from corpses.
Champions¶
At any moment, up to 3 of the 8 rift locations are active simultaneously. After a rift is completed (boss defeated), there is a 5–10 minute delay before a new rift location can activate. The system checks every 30 seconds to activate a random inactive location when fewer than 3 are running.
Each active rift progresses through a series of waves, you must kill all required creatures in a wave to advance to the next. After 3 waves the Rift Master boss spawns.
