Rift
,no edit summary
* First, a light beacon will appear on a server (one beam per server at one time), 2 real-life days before the rift will open on PvE and 3 real-life hours before opening on PvP. The location is random each time but always in a non-deeded area. This is where the gods will open the rift portal.
* At the same moment the light beacon appears an [https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/198721-patch-notes-12-sep-2023/ unfinished colossus ] for each god will be placed north south east and west of the beacon. Parts can be added to these and each part has a chance reward you with rift points and rift materials. Adding parts to any colossus will give you rift sickness. Rift sickness increases difficulty of working on the colossus, but decreases over time. Within the final 12 hours before a rift opens rift sickness is no longer added. Players can work on colossus of gods they do not follow at an increased difficulty. Completing a colossus will create an additional beam of light and an effect will be applied during battle when the rift opens. The three white light gods give a white beam, where Libila will produce a black beam. The effects are as follows:

|-
| Fo || Healing and Willow Spine[[Willowspine]]

| Libila || Rift enemy spawn count is increased and upon death players do not lose skills other than strength and fight skill.
* Next, when the rift portal actually opens (48 hours after the beacon first appears), it will clear all the trees within its borders and turn all terrain into dirt. It will also spawn a number of traps, rift stones, rift crystals, and rift plants in the rift zone. Terraforming attempts in this area will be blocked until the rift is closed. Additionally, the rift will spawn a rift altar and a wave of deadly [[rift creature|rift creatures]] that will only fight players within the zone.
* After the first wave of rift creatures is defeated, three two more increasingly difficult waves must subsequently be defeated in order to close the rift. In order to progress to the next wave, 20 rift hearts must be butchered and removed from any rift creatures and then burned at the rift altar in sacrifice. An examine of the altar will always show the remaining number of hearts needed in order to bring about the next wave of rift creatures, and the altar is always located within several tiles of the rift beam itself. Progression through the rift in this way can take place at any time, despite any living rift creatures or the current wave taking place.
* The third and final wave of rift creatures will include a [[Warmaster]] and provides the most difficult wave of fighting. Once this wave is disbursed, players must sacrifice 20 more hearts to the rift altar, at which point an event message will convey across the server: {{event|inline|The Rift that has plagued <server name> has been shut!}}. The rift is now closed, the gods have been satisfied, and rank-based rewards are then automatically spawned to the participating players' inventories. It is also at this point that the rift area's rift materials (see section below) will become harvestable.
