Event Info
...and from the gates spread a darkness that smothered even the night sky. Little hope remained for the Age of Man.
The Gates of Darkness is a co-op event where all players kill monsters to earn BT Pts.
- To participate in the event, simply press the "Gates of Darkness" button found on your main page.
Complete quests and Gate Quests to earn BT Pts for yourself and the community. As the total number of BT Pts increases, Abyss Panels will open and bestow rewards on all players participating in the event.
- The amount of BT Pts you can earn varies depending on the quest.
- Even if you fail a quest, you can still receive a set amount of BT Pts.
- Some time may be required before BT Pt totals update.
Abyss Panels hide rewards. Work together with other players to destroy the dark magic sealing these panels and receive the rewards hidden within!
- All rewards will be sent to your Inbox.
- Some rewards may include units. Units will be sent to your Unit List. If you Unit List is full, they will be sent to your Inbox instead.
- Event-exclusive Titles can be found on your Profile page under Edit Title → Achievements.
- You cannot receive more than one copy of any title.
Event Schedule
The Gates of Darkness will start on May 30, 2013 post-maint and end on June 11, 2013 at 2:00am PST/PDT.
- These times may be subject to change.
The deadline to receive any event-related reward is June 18, 2013, 2:00 am PST/PDT.
Gate Panels
You will see a number of panels on the main page of the event. As event participants earn BT Pts through quests, each panel will open once the total number of points reaches a certain amount. Once a panel opens, all event participants will be eligible for that reward.
- Panels will update periodically. If applicable, panel rewards will be distributed when the panel updates.
Gate Quests
Gate Quests are a special kind of quest that require at least one Abyss Key to undertake.
- If you fail a Gate Quest, you will be able to continue where you left off once a certain amount of time has passed.
If you don't think you can complete the quest, or want to abandon it, tap the "Give Up" button to quit.
- NOTE: If you quit a quest in this fashion, you will lose any progress made in that quest. Furthermore, any Abyss Keys spent to undertake the quest will be lost for good.
BT Pts
Defeat monsters during quests and special Gate Quests to earn BT Pts.
Deploy special, new units to receive bonus BT Pts each time you complete a quest.
- The amount of bonus BT Pts will depend on the rarity of the unit.
- Higher rarities will lead to a greater amount of bonus BT Pts.
- You will only receive a bonus from the single, rarest, special unit that you deploy in a quest.
- You will NOT gain a BT Pts bonus for deploying your ally's special units in quests.
- Units awarded through Abyss Panels or BT Pts rewards will also count as a special unit during the Gates of Darkness event.
- Monsters killed during Training and Battles will not grant you BT Pts.
- BT Pts rewards will be sent to your Inbox once you have earned the necessary number of BT Pts.
- None of the quests from the first 4 episodes will grant BT Pts.
BT Tracking Spreadsheet
Keep track of your BT throughout the event to make sure you're staying on track to earn Ombre or Lumiere before the event ends!
