Defeat the Ley-Line Anomaly to disperse its destructive energy before it overloads is a level 26, 54, or 56 map-wide event that occurs respectively in Gendarran Fields, Iron Marches, or Timberline Falls. These are areas with overflowing ley line energy, whereas other zones have smaller leaks.

This event spawns 20 minutes after even-numbered hours in server time (UTC) on a fixed cycle through the three zones. Using a Ley-Infused Lodestone will indicate which zone is currently active or will have an event soon.

Walkthrough

The anomaly will alternate between chase, defend, and attack phases. During a chase players follow the anomaly and use crowd control to break its defiance bar to stop it from running toward new coalescences that spawn in a side event. The coalescences will eventually be absorbed by the anomaly unless players defeat them, causing a magical explosion that will down nearby players. If too many coalescences are absorbed, the anomaly will gain an uncontrollable amount of magic causing a massive magical explosion and the event will fail. Breaking its defiance forces the anomaly to crouch defensively and eject part of its energy as Anomaly Fragments for one minute. Unless players defeat fragments, they will approach the anomaly and give it a stack of Ley-line Accumulation by fusing back with it. At the end of a defense phase, the anomaly will stop creating fragments to attack, becoming vulnerable for 45 seconds (as long as the Enraged effect is active). When that time is up, it resumes fleeing, repeating the chase phase.

While the anomaly is completely immune to power damage when not attacking back, it still takes a very small amount of condition damage inflicted. This can be used to finish it off if it flees when only a few percentage points (usually about 1-4%) of health is left, though this may require others to abstain from using Crowd control effects, as it becomes untargetable after being stopped.

Notes

• It is possible to avoid the damage from the overloaded anomaly's explosions by blocking or using invulnerability.
• A failed event will leave a stream of ley energy behind that causes Ley-Energy Sickness to nearby players.
• With the July 26, 2016 patch, upon defeating the orbs that the anomaly splits into have turned blue and grant 1  Unbound Magic upon being touched.
• It spawns in one of the locations above every 2 hours and spawns in the same map every 6 hours. A Ley-Infused Lodestone will indicate which map it is in or just spawned in.
  • It spawns in Iron Marches at 02:20, 08:20, 14:20 and 20:20
  • It spawns in Gendarran Fields 4:20, 10:20, 16:20 and 22:20
  • It spawns in Timberline Falls at 06:20, 12:20, 18:20 and 00:20
• Note that the spawn times written here correspond to your local time zone, not server time, which is UTC+0.
• While the location of where the anomaly will spawn is a randomly chosen location out of eight per zone they appear in, the following waypoints are closer to the more popular spawn points:
  • Gendarran Fields (Provern Shore)  Provern Shore Waypoint —
  • Iron Marches (Monger's Sink)  Village of Scalecatch Waypoint —
  • Timberline Falls (Fisher's Eye Bridges)  Valance Tutory Waypoint —
