EVENT: Fractal Depths Cavernam Expedition Event

01 / 25 / 2025

The icy labyrinth beneath Cavernam has been uncovered, and Chief Engineer Arthus calls upon all adventurers to help fund the expedition! Craft and contribute Expedition Equipment to break through the frozen barriers and unlock access to this mysterious dungeon.

Event Details:
Starts: Saturday, January 25, 2025 11AM EST
Ends: Saturday, February 1, 2025 11AM EST

How to Participate:

  • Craft Expedition Equipment: Use valid ingredients (Boards, Ingots, Leather, Arcane Scrolls, etc.) to craft items. Each crafting attempt gives you a chance to generate randomized Expedition Equipment, bound to you. (Tip: Higher gold-value ingredients increase your chances!)
  • Find Glacium Crystals: Loot these mysterious crystals from monsters, chests, and Cavernam Dungeon. They boost your crafting chances and unlock greater opportunities—but beware, their power is finite!
  • Contribute to the Cause: Bring Expedition Equipment to Chief Engineer Arthus in Outpost. Contribute to increase your Event Score, unlock prizes, and help crack the icy barriers of the labyrinth.

 

 

The Fractal Depths: Cavernam Expedition Event

Players will be able to participate in the Event from Saturday January 25th at 11AM EET until February 1st 11AM EST.

How to Participate

  • While the Cavernam Expedition Event is underway, any time a player Crafts any item that uses Valid Ingredients, they will have a chance at receiving a randomized Expedition Equipment item into their backpack
  • Valid Ingredients include: Boards, Ingots, Leather, Reagents, Arcane Scrolls, Mastercrafting Diagrams, Pristine Lumber, Immaculate Stone, Special Cooking Ingredients, or any Aspect Items
  • The chance at receiving Expedition Equipment is scaled based on the relative “Gold Value” of the ingredients used for the crafting recipe

Increasing EventScore

  • Players increase their [EventScore for the event by contributing Expedition Equipment from their Backpack or Bank Box
  • Clicking the “Contribute” button next to a Material Type in the menu will contribute 1 item of that type from the player’s backpack, and increase their [EventScore by the amount listed
  • Each time any player contributes an item of a specific type, the “Demand” for that item type will decrease and the subsequent [EventScore value of contributing that item will be reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 100)
  • However, the Demand (and resulting [EventScore value) of each item type will also automatically increase every few minutes

Glacium Crystals

  • While the Event is underway, players will also have a chance to encounter Glacium Crystals as loot occuring from most game systems (such as Monsters / Chests / Ships / etc)
  • Players will have an increased chance to encounter Glacium Crystals within Cavernam Dungeon itself

  • Any player who has a Glacium Crystal in their backpack while crafting, will have a significant bonus to their chance to generate Expedition Equipment
  • Glacium Crystals are not bound to players, and can be used by anyone
  • Each crafting attempt will reduce the Condition of the crystal (based on Gold Value of ingredients used) and they will break when at 0% Condition
