Echoes move 20% faster.
Echo Raids
A fallen creature can leave a silent echo behind. Step into it when you are ready for an extra pack, encounter-scaled rewards, and a chance to challenge its Warden.
Find. Step in. Clear.
-
01
Find the echo
Non-boss common and uncommon Bestiary creatures with 23,000 base HP or less can leave one above their corpse. Each eligible kill has a 1% chance, while active hunting begins natural rolls at minute 5.
-
02
Step onto it
The marker waits for 10 minutes. The client shows its live countdown above it. Ignoring the marker has no penalty, and its appearance does not reveal the encounter in advance.
-
03
Hold the spawning ground
A ground pulse and announcement reveal the encounter and its Resonance. Each formation is warned 0.5 seconds before it appears, then another creature forms every 2 seconds.
For 30 seconds, the marker belongs to the hunter and their shared party. It then becomes public. Natural hunting rolls 10% each minute through minute 14, with an Echo guaranteed by active-hunt minute 15.
Stronger encounters give larger multipliers
Normal: 1.5× experience, 2× loot, 3× Bestiary, and 2× Hunting Tasks.
Influenced: 2× experience, 2.5× loot, 4× Bestiary, and 3× Hunting Tasks.
Warden and escorts: 2.5× experience, 3× loot, 5× Bestiary, and 4× Hunting Tasks.
Damage and party sharing happen afterward. Prey, stamina, VIP, boosted-creature bonuses, server rates, native Prey Hunting Tasks, and Adventurer Guild contracts continue to apply normally.
Every Echo carries a Resonance
The Resonance is rolled when the marker is activated and applies to the whole encounter. It changes the fight without changing the reward table.
Defeated Echoes leave a delayed energy burst.
Each defeat heals the surviving Echoes by 5%.
New Echoes form every second.
Three possible encounters
Completing the source creature's Bestiary shifts the roll toward stronger encounters: Normal changes from 60% to 45%, Influenced rises from 20% to 25%, and Warden rises from 20% to 30%.
Echo creatures keep their original creature names in the client. The color identifies the encounter, and the main Warden carries a Crown icon so it remains distinct from its gold escorts. Look descriptions and combat or loot messages still identify Echo roles in text.
Bestiary incomplete
Bestiary completed
Normal: build momentum
Defeat 3 Echoes within 8 seconds to complete a chain. A pending creature forms immediately; if the whole group has already formed, the chain instead deals 8% non-lethal maximum-health damage to every survivor.
Influenced: stop the Conductor
Every creature independently has a 30% chance to form with Influenced Forge stacks. The first creature is the Conductor. Every 6 seconds it signals an already-stacked ally within 5 tiles and raises that ally's Forge power, up to 5. If no stacked ally can be empowered, it heals the most injured one by 5%.
Warden: control the escorts
At 50% health, the Warden begins a 2-second phase. Up to 5 living escorts contribute 2% healing, damage, and damage reduction each. Thin the pack before crossing the threshold.
The clock starts when you step in
Mastery records speed, not extra power. The raid is timed from activation until the final Echo falls, and a faster personal result replaces your previous best for that creature type.

Break the Warden, then collect the echo
The Warden is the same creature type pushed far beyond its normal limits. Its aura makes nearby raid escorts harder to kill until their Warden falls. At half health, a clear warning gives your group time to finish escorts before their power is drawn into the Warden.

One scroll. One catalyst. Every time.
Every Warden grants exactly two bonus items: one imbuement scroll and one proficiency catalyst. The pair is not reduced by the server loot rate.
Your first Warden kill for each creature type also grants +10 Charm Points. Later kills of that type still award the guaranteed scroll and catalyst.
Imbuement scroll tier by base monster HP
| Creature health | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000 HP or less | 100% | 0% | 0% |
| 2,001 to 6,000 HP | 20% | 70% | 10% |
| 6,001 HP or more | 0% | 75% | 25% |
Low-health Wardens always give a Basic scroll. Mid-health Wardens can give any tier, while high-health Wardens always give Intricate or Powerful. The exact imbuement effect is random within the selected tier.

Catalysts add weapon proficiency experience and are consumed only when experience can actually be applied.
Up to 4 eligible hunters each receive the pair
- Activation partyThe snapshotted leader, activator, and earliest members can receive a personal roll, capped at 4. They must be online when Warden rewards are processed; offline party members are skipped.
- Open huntWithout a party, the first 4 distinct players who participate in the Echo fight receive the personal pair. A qualified solo participant remains eligible if they disconnect afterward.
- Safe deliveryEach item first searches the player's managed loot containers, then any available inventory or backpack space. Only when both fail is it sent to the depot inbox.

!echo
Browse the paginated Echo Journal. Use !echo status when you only want the compact marker, raid, and lifetime totals in chat.
It names the encounter and Resonance, final time and Mastery grade, personal-best result, defeated count, progress multipliers, Normal chain total when relevant, and the Warden reward destination. Nearby observers receive a shorter finish notice, without duplicate rewards or progress.
