Server reset

The server reset occurs daily at 00:00. At this time, various things reset, such as daily achievements. A few changes happen at fixed times throughout the week. Some content is time-gated: this means that whenever it is completed it cannot be done again until the next reset or ~24 hours have passed (or both); or fewer rewards can be gained from it until then.

Notes

• Diminishing returns can prevent people from receiving reward and ground chests from world bosses.
• Some objects, such as open-world chests and once-per-day nodes, only experience a soft-reset during the daily server reset. For the object to fully reset, one of the following must also happen:
  • You must wait 23 hours from the last time you used the object.
  • You must join a different map instance. For example, you can taxi to a friend on a different instance. A game update will force you onto a different instance, and thus satisfy this condition.
