Empyrean Onslaughts
| ||||||
Empyrean Onslaughts is a permanent quest, which is always available as long as its prerequisites are met. Use GEM ONSLAUGHT to check whether an onslaught is currently active, where it's happening, and how much time remains. Onslaughts are timed invasion events that rotate across four Ascension hunting zones: 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.
Details
In order to be eligible event credit for the various Empyrean Onslaughts timed quests, you must first complete Shadow's Descent, which is the introductory quest for Empyrean Onslaughts. See that article for detailed information on the quest.
