Notes[edit]

  • Can be used indefinitely.
  • Cannot be used in combat or when defeated.
  • If you are already in a zone with an upcoming threat, it will not teleport you to a closer waypoint within that zone.
  • Active threats are only available for five minutes.
  • Does not consume any coin, in contrast to using a waypoint to get to the same location.
  • It will teleport you to a waypoint near the World Boss even if you don't have the waypoint unlocked on that character.
  • Once chat notifications are enabled, they will still show in chat even if the item is no longer in inventory.
  • Notifications show up as:
    • 'Threat detected! <Boss name> attacks in 10 minutes.' for Central Tyrian boss
    • 'The earth trembles, and the wind goes cold. Dragonstorm will begin in 10 minutes.' for Dragonstorm
    • 'The whispers grow louder! Drakkar will emerge in 10 minutes.' for Drakkar
    • 'The Kryptis are planning something big. Convergences will begin in 10 minutes.' for Convergences
    • 'The Titans are planning something big. Titans will attack in 10 minutes.' for Of Mists and Monsters.
    • 'The titans are planning something big. Convergences will begin in 10 minutes.' for Convergence: Mount Balrior.
Bug Bug:
Notification of Convergence: Mount Balrior happens 1h later than it should.
  • This item cannot be used in introductory mission (tutorial starting area).
  • If you keep clicking the item in your inventory without interacting with the pop-up screen when the message "The Titans are planning something big" message has appeared and the event has not ended, it will repeat this message with every registered interaction, allowing the chatbox to be flooded with notifications of the Titans planning something big.
