Announcing: Chaos Rifts

NIFTY RIFTIES!

Not seen since the instability of the early tremors preceding the Elder’s War, Rifts have returned as a result of the chaos created with the scattering of the Infinity Stones! Laden with valuable prizes, Chaos Rifts require Chaos Crystal Shards to keep their entrance stable, and only remain open for 1 hour! Chaos Crystal Shards are strewn all over the Battlerealm, and it’s up to YOU to find and use as many as they can before they disappear once more!

Chaos rifts will be available from March 26th at 10:00 AM PDT until May 2nd at 10:00 AM PDT (end date updated by moderator on April 16). You will need to be on our forthcoming build to see and participate in them.

For those of you who have no idea what a Rift is, or even if you do, below is a run-down of how they work.

WHAT ARE CHAOS RIFTS?

Chaos Rifts are quests that have ENTRY COSTS. That means you won’t be able to enter them until you collect 10,000 CHAOS CRYSTAL SHARDS and spend them to enter. Like previous Dimensional Rifts, there are 4 tiers of Rifts, and 4 corresponding tiers of Chaos Crystal Shards. This means you’ll need to collect 10,000 Tier 1 Chaos Crystal Shards to open a Beginner Rift, 10,000 Tier 2 Chaos Crystal Shards to open a Normal Rift, and so on.

Once you spend your Chaos Crystal Shards to enter the Rift, you’ll have 1 hour to collect your prize and defeat the final boss, but it’s not so simple! The path you’ll be sent to is determined by a RANDOM PORTAL, so you won’t know what prize you’ll receive until you enter! Rifts of different tiers contain different rarities of prizes, with the highest tier containing a FULL TIER 2 ALPHA CATALYST and a 5-STAR CLASS AWAKENING GEM.

So, that’s the gist of it. Collect Chaos Crystal Shards of Different Tiers, and use them to open Chaos Rifts of the corresponding tier, then claim cool prizes. Here’s a handy breakdown of some key info:

BEGINNER: 10,000 TIER 1 Chaos Crystal Shards - 2 Energy per step - (24 energy per play)
NORMAL: 10,000 TIER 2 Chaos Crystal Shards - 3 Energy per step - (36 energy per play)
HEROIC: 10,000 TIER 3 Chaos Crystal Shards - 4 Energy per step - (48 energy per play)
MASTER: 10,000 TIER 4 Chaos Crystal Shards - 5 Energy per step - (60 energy per play)

HOW DO I GET CHAOS CRYSTAL SHARDS?

There’s 3 places you can collect Chaos Crystal Shards: Solo and Alliance Events, as well as the monthly Event Quest. Additionally, Lower Tiers of Chaos Rift provide 5,000 Chaos Crystal Shards for the next tier up, which means every time you complete 2 of a certain tier of Chaos Rift, you’ll get 1 entry into the next tier up! In the case of the Tier 4 (Master Difficulty) Chaos Rift, it will instead award 500 5-Star Crystal Shards.

You’ll be able to earn 2,000 Chaos Crystal Shards from completing an Event Quest difficulty, and another 8,000 from full Exploring the same Event Quest Difficulty.

UPDATE: 3/22/2018 @ 12:30PM PDT

Some more context on where to get Chaos Crystal Shards:

- Chaos Crystal Shards will be available from NEXT month's Event Quest, not this month's. The Event Quest is launching shortly after Chaos Rifts, however.
- The Event Quest's Uncollected Difficulty will award the same amount of Tier 4 Chaos Crystal Shards as Master Difficulty.

- Solo Events awarding Chaos Crystal Shards begin on MONDAY MARCH 26th (PDT) alongside the Rifts.

- Alliance Events that contain Chaos Crystal Shards are the 3-Day Events, the first of which will arrive on WEDNESDAY MARCH 28th (PDT)

- A welcome message will arrive in your inbox on MONDAY MARCH 26th (PDT) containing 10,000 Tier 1 Chaos Crystal Shards.

- There will ALSO be a login calendar running that awards Chaos Crystal Shards that begins on MONDAY MARCH 26th.

HOW MUCH ENERGY DOES THIS COST?

Chaos Rifts, like their predecessors Dimensional Rifts, cost 2-5 Energy per step, depending on difficulty:

BEGINNER: - 2 Energy per step - (24 energy per play)
NORMAL: - 3 Energy per step - (36 energy per play)
HEROIC: - 4 Energy per step - (48 energy per play)
MASTER: - 5 Energy per step - (60 energy per play)

HOW HARD ARE THE QUESTS?

You’ll face off against 5 Enemies in Chaos Rifts, all of whom are randomized from a select pool. Their difficulty is roughly equivalent to the corresponding Event Quest Difficulty. As a rule, if you can beat a certain difficulty of the Event Quest, you should have no issues completing a Chaos Rift of the same difficulty. Here’s a quick breakdown of what Buffs are present in each difficulty of Rift (note that unless a Buff is marked as Global, it only applies to the final Boss):

WHAT IF I FAIL THE QUEST?

Just to be SUPER clear: QUITTING OR NOT COMPLETING THE QUEST WITHIN THE 1 HOUR TIME LIMIT WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF BOTH THE CRYSTAL SHARDS USED TO ENTER THE QUEST AS WELL AS ANY REWARDS EARNED INSIDE THE QUEST.

WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO DO THE QUEST?

Great Question! We know that even if you’re unable to beat a certain Event Quest Difficulty, you may end up with enough Chaos Crystal Shards to open a Chaos Rift. If you’re not so keen on doing that, though, you can always use those Shards to Open a CHAOS CRYSTAL.

Chaos Crystals award SOME of the prizes a Chaos Rift of the same tier does, but not all, and they ALSO only award 2,500 Chaos Crystal Shards for the next Tier up as opposed to the 5,000 up for grabs in a Chaos Rift Quest.

If you are able to complete a Chaos Rift, it is ALWAYS better to play a Chaos Rift instead of opening a Chaos Crystal.

Chaos Crystals will not be available until April 9th.

WHAT ARE THE REWARDS?

Glad you asked! Below is a breakdown of what the potential rewards are for both Rifts AND Crystals, as well as the drop rates for both. Since Chaos Rifts are essentially crystals you play, it was important for us to let you know what your odds of receiving a certain prize would be.

I am unsure of this, why can I not see these rifts? Am I missing something here?

Top3rom3koms

These rifts aren’t showing up what’s going on?

Top3rom3koms

I am not getting any rift shards from anything where do I get them.
Still nothing and I 100% an event quest where are these shards?

Justapilgrim

What a joke. First solo quest gives 250 Tier 2 chaos crystal shards when you max it out and get all levels. If you're in the top 10% you get another 250 Tier 3 shards. And you need 10k shards to open a rift. They made it sound like we were going to be opening rifts often. Gonna be lucky to open one or two a week with that payout. Maxing a solo event should give you at least 50% of a rift.

You might not have played it when rifts were last in, but it’s about the same that.

Solo events come and go a day, that’s a lot of shards to add up.

With the rare rewards you can’t be having a go daily, have 4/5 runs of each level hopefully, maybe more.

Thanks

I don’t see any 7 or 12 hour events. The announcement said they should start today. Is anyone else having problems with it?

NutJob_Hero

Was there an apple app update? I don’t see it. Kabam as usual makes things so confusing or blunders something

Deadpole17

That's cool can't wait!

No cap. You need to update the game to access them.

Hey everyone, just to clarify some confusion (I will also add this to the original post):

- Chaos Crystal Shards will be available from NEXT month's Event Quest, not this month's. The Event Quest is launching shortly after Chaos Rifts, however.

- Solo Events awarding Chaos Crystal Shards begin on MONDAY MARCH 26th (PDT) alongside the Rifts.

Hopefully that clears some things up!

When are they available for italy? Still don't see them

sapio

I think that someone will leave some important shards becouse it was not clear when you have to do an update of the game. Consider that in apple store if you want to update the game yuo have to delete it first ( I dont know why for this game there is this problem from the lasts updates) In any case if you upgrade the game today and you enter the account before the update you lost the first calendar login and you lost importsnt shards. Probably this is a problem at the end of the first week

Подскажите, какой рейтинг рекомендуется для захода в эти зоны?

Hey guys.
sorcerer's conclave event doesn't come for me
I update game from Google play. Rift Crystal and new calender are added but sorcerer's conclave event doesn't add. What can I do now?

Top3rom3koms

I still can’t find where these shards are supposedly meant to be kabam sort yourself out you explain nothing properly and we are all asking where the shards are give us an answer or explain yourself properly the first time I am sick of messaging the team and coming on here and getting no real answer tell us where to get these shards and for all the players asking and getting no answer or it is not on their game for whatever reason should get a free entry to one of the rifts as this is a joke you constantly say you’re a game for the players but with each passing day I find this harder and harder to believe want an answer as this is my 3rd post on this same subject

crystals cost the same as the rifts, however the rifts have better reward

Hellboyy9999

Kabam, can you clarify which solo events?.. I tried searching for chaos crystal shards as rewards but I didn't find them.
