Notes[edit]
- There are two versions of this defense event: one where the Risen High Wizard spawns, and one where he doesn't. These events have separate IDs.
- All achievements require the event version with the Risen High Wizard
- When this defense event fails the Gates of Arah meta starts right away with the Secure the Pact staging area at Shank Anchorage event at the Anchorage Waypoint as the usual escort is skipped.
- This defense event starts 1.5 hours after a successful Gates of Arah meta (i.e. after the Risen High Wizard boss dies).
- (Needs Verification) The two defense events alternate, starting 1 hour after the previous event finishes. If you finish the version without the Risen High Wizard, 1 hour later the version including him should start.
- If the event with the Risen High Wizard is active, his name and life bar will appear in the event tracker. The Risen High Wizard will spawn in the middle of the capture zone at the beginning of the event and be briefly invulnerable.
