“

Strumming wistful chords upon his harp, the wandering minstrel sings a ballad of a dread voidsent queen who sought to engulf all in Darkness as part of an unholy pact with Emperor Xande. Thanks to your comrades' valiant sacrifice, you succeeded in vanquishing the being in her Lightless domain...but what might have happened had there been none at your side in whom flowed the royal blood of Allag? Could you have withstood the might of a further empowered Cloud of Darkness? Such possibilities play on your mind as the minstrel's evocative verse brings his wild imaginings to vivid life...

Two non-duplicate equipment coffers are guaranteed to appear, while the other items are rare drops.

Each party in the alliance will receive its own treasure coffer. Players cannot roll on items in a treasure coffer belonging to another party.

By speaking with Uah'shepya in Solution Nine (X:8.7 Y:13.5), players can exchange obtained demimateria for rewards, including all gear, both mounts and the hairstyle. The minion is only available as a drop.

There are no weekly restrictions on loot. In addition, there are two additional loot bonuses:

• First Time Duty Bonus: Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty. Specifically, each player will receive an additional 2   Clouddark Demimateria II per first-time clear. If all 24 players clear for the first time, each player would receive 49   Clouddark Demimateria II.
• Limited Time Bonus: A randomly occurring reward bonus that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates for the rare drops and a chance of additional tokens upon completion. Randomly chosen players in each party will receive additional   Clouddark Demimateria I. A total of 8 extra Demimateria I will be distributed per party. It is possible for the same player to receive multiple additional demimateria.

Notes

• Even though pre-made parties can enter the raid with a minimum of 12 players, as of patch 7.15, it is not possible to complete it with this number of players due to having insufficient headcount for the Particle Condensation (towers) mechanics. It has yet to be established what the minimum number of players needed to complete the raid is.
