Corrupted Shrine events occur twice per day, with one event happening in the morning (randomly between 0-12 hours) and one in the evening (randomly between 12-24 hours). There is always a minimum of a 4-hour gap between the two events.
During a Shrine Corruption event, a shrine becomes Corrupted, featuring unique graphics and triggering a sequence of 20 waves of increasingly difficult creatures. A progress bar near the Corrupted Shrine displays the current wave number, allowing players to track the event’s progression.
Once all 20 waves have been defeated, a randomized Shrine Boss will spawn. Unlike standard bosses, the Shrine Boss does not have traditional loot on its corpse. Instead, players will receive Ankh Tokens, which serve as the primary reward for participating in the event.
Ankh Tokens
Ankh Tokens function as a type of lootbox, granting a randomized reward when double-clicked. The rewards can range from Gold to high-end items. These tokens weigh 0.1 stones each and can be looted or stolen from other players, making them valuable and contested rewards.
How do I Earn Ankh Tokens?
Ankh Tokens are distributed at the end of each wave to players who have accumulated at least 1 Ankh Token and are within 60 tiles of the shrine. Players earn fractional amounts of Ankh Tokens based on their damage contribution, which are then rounded and distributed.
For example, if a player has earned 1.25 Ankh Tokens during a wave, they will receive 1 Ankh Token in their backpack, while the remaining 0.25 Ankh Tokens are "stashed" and carried into the next wave.
Each wave has a predetermined amount of Ankh Tokens that players can collectively "bank":
- Wave rewards range from 2.5 to 7.5 Ankh Tokens, increasing in value as the difficulty progresses.
- Across all 20 waves, a total of 100 Ankh Tokens are available.
- The Shrine Boss is worth an additional 50 Ankh Tokens, bringing the maximum total to 150 Ankh Tokens per event.
After the Shrine Boss is slain, any remaining "banked" Ankh Tokens are distributed to players, with decimal amounts rounded accordingly. Players can retrieve their earned Ankh Tokens by double-clicking the Shrine Boss's corpse, which will transfer all their bound Ankh Tokens into their backpack.
Shrine Bosses
The 20th wave of a Corrupted Shrine is always a boss. This is an extra strong creature worth 50 anhk tokens.
