Timeless Monoliths


When activated Timeless Monoliths will spawn 2 armies in stasis from a moment in time when they were battling, players can decide which ones to unfreeze by reducing their HP to zero before the timer expires. Certain monsters will have special rewards, indicated by an icon above their head showing what item they will drop, these monsters are considerably more powerful.

Incubators have Item Levels, the higher the area you obtain the incubator from the higher the rarity of the reward from it can be.

Timeless Emblems


Timeless Emblems are essentially the fragment used to enter The Domain of Timeless Conflict. You can collect splinters from Legion encounters in maps, after you obtain 100 they will form an emblem that you place in your map device, you need a minimum of two emblems to enter the domain.



Domain of Timeless Conflict


The Domain of Timeless Conflict is a revealed arena where you can fight up to five of the armies at the same time. The zone contains a monolith in the centre, to activate the fight you must stand near it until you see the timer, the domain can contain up to 5 Generals depending on how many emblems you used to open the arena.

As you defeat enemies in the arena you can head back to the monolith in the middle to respawn all enemies, the Generals can also respawn, during the fight you will accumulate rewards that will show at the bottom of your screen depending on how many monsters you kill and when the timer expires all of the loot will drop in the centre.
