Empyrean Onslaughts are timed invasion events that rotate across four: Hinterwilds, Moonsedge, The Hive, and Sailor's Grief. When an Onslaught is active, invasion portals appear in the targeted zone and transport you to the Empyrean fleet. Each Onslaught runs for four hours before the fleet withdraws.
Use GEM ONSLAUGHT to check whether an event is currently active, where it's happening, and how much time remains.
Empyrean Onslaughts The skies above Elanthia grow dark. The Empyrean Syndicate has arrived in force, goliath raiders descending from airships to lay siege to our Ascension hunting grounds. The masked Gemstone Artificer seeks the aid of adventurers who have proven themselves worthy, and whispers of ancient lunar power echo through the land. Whether you prefer to meet the invaders head-on or ascend into their airships to take the fight to them, there's never been a better time to sharpen your blades and push beyond the boundaries of what you thought possible. New and updated features: "Shadow's Descent": New Story Quest. The masked Gemstone Artificer has a new request. Uncover the connection between the Empyrean Syndicate and the Lunar Shard Gemstones in this multi-part narrative that takes you across Elanthia. Completing the quest unlocks Gemstone Codices, repeatable quests, and the GEM ONSLAUGHT command. Requires completion of "A Sparkling Ascent." Dynamic Onslaught Events. Empyrean invasion forces now periodically assault Ascension hunting grounds, with one Onslaught active at a time on a randomly chosen ground. Empyrean Airship Raids. Slay Empyrean during an active Onslaught to open swirling portals into the Syndicate's airships. Fight your way upward through multi-deck combat encounters aboard mechanical lifts, with progressive difficulty and group support for up to six adventurers. Weekly and Monthly Repeatable Quests. Four new repeatable quests offer ongoing Empyrean content. Hunt aboard airships or defend the ground during Onslaughts, with weekly and monthly variants. Earn Gemstone Codices, experience, and fame. Check QUEST LIST for availability after completing Shadow's Descent. Gemstone Geodes. A new collectible drop containing two Gemstones.
Empyrean Onslaughts - Gem and Dust Rate Increase Ascension Gemstones and Dust will now drop at an increased rate from Empyrean foes. Completion of Shadow's Descent is required to be eligible for this increased rate. The rate is further increased on Empyrean Airships, and is increased further on higher elevation Airships.
