Domain Invasion is cooperative battle content in which adventurers work to defeat monsters in Escha – Zi’Tah, Escha – Ru’Aun and Reisenjima.
The Domain Invasion adjustments greatly change the battle structure and rewards.
Requirements for participation
Be level 99.
Enjoying the Content
Receive an elvorseal by speaking with a particular NPC* before the monsters have appeared** or while they are active.
Next, select “Teleport to the target monster” to be transported to the area where Domain Invasion is taking place.
* Affi in Escha – Zi’Tah (F-10), Dremi in Escha – Ru’Aun (H-11), and Shiftrix in Reisenjima (F-12).
** Players who are members of a Unity will receive messages related to where and when monsters will spawn.
A battle against various smaller monsters will unfold in the Domain Invasion area, and wiping them out will cause a notorious monster to spawn.
Defeat the notorious monster to receive rewards.
* Monster tagging is not active during a Domain Invasion, meaning that players can work together even if they are not in the same party.
* There is no time limit for battles against either the smaller monsters or the notorious monsters.
* Alter egos may be called forth in battle.
* The notorious monster names are the same as before, but their attributes, skills, and attack patterns have changed.
Once a notorious monster has been defeated, another Domain Invasion will commence in a different area after a certain amount of time has passed. The Domain Invasion rotation is Escha - Zi’Tah > Escha – Ru’Aun > Reisenjima > Escha Zi’Tah, repeating indefinitely.
* Updated December 10, at 5:00 p.m. (PST) / 11 December, at 1:00 a.m. (GMT)
