If the 20 hearts are sacrificed before all the rift mobs are deadhas not yet started, the mobs will de-spawn and leave a pile of ash in their spot. At the closing number of hours until the rift, every player who participated in at least 10 kills opens will get a lump of uncommon metal ([[Seryll]], [[Glimmersteel]] or [[Adamantine]]) of random rarity, quality, and weightbe displayed.

Terraforming attempts in this area will open on PvE and 3 real-life hours before opening on PvP. The location be blocked until the rift is random each timeclosed. The actual size of light appears to be Additionally, the rift will spawn a rift altar and a radius wave of 20 tiles in all directions from deadly [[rift creature|rift creatures]] that will only fight players within the beacon, or a 41x41 tile perimeterzone.

Also, rift mobs altar will attack all always show the creatures remaining number of hearts needed in order to bring about the next wave of rift area at creatures, and the time altar is always located within several tiles of the rift openingbeam itself. Progression through the rift in this way can take place at any time, regardless of whether or not said despite any living rift creatures are passive or aggressive. The only time the rift mobs will not attack creatures is when they are being ridden. ''Note: This does not apply to hitched animals, which will still be attackedcurrent wave taking place.''

When the * The fourth and final wave of rift opens, many different kinds of mobs creatures will spawn.

*Rifts work off of a points system. Depending on the amount of kills and damage dealt by a player, they can get a higher participation ranking. The rankings range from "minimal" (least impact) to "phenomenal" (most impact).

Rank-based rewards include [[shoulder pads]], [[rift jewelry]]points, some rift materials as listed below, and lumps of [[glimmersteel]], [[seryll]], and [[adamantine]]. ** Rift points are redeemable at the [[Rift points shop]] or Lormere Ltd by right-clicking on a mailbox.* Before Anytime while a rift closesis still open and active, the player may type the chat command '''/rift tin ''' in order to see the current participation rankings. Attempts to bring up the list outside of the actual rift area while it is still active will not work.

This will remain possible until the player travels to another server or logs out on that current server.
