Update 20 August 2026
⛩️ Naraku opens a new raid every hour
Your character, bag, gear and balances are untouched, and a Naraku reward you had settled but not collected is still waiting for you at the Sealstone.
What's changing
- A floor runs many raids a day instead of one. A Naraku land ran one raid per calendar day, and the day turned over at seven in the morning. A busy floor reached its goal in under ten minutes, so whoever was awake first took the raid and everyone who came later read already settled until the next morning. Every floor now opens on a rhythm of its own: the shallow ones start a fresh raid every hour, the deeper ones every few hours, the deepest twice a day. That is around two hundred raids a day across the lands instead of one apiece.
- One floor, one place, everyone in it together. A floor used to exist as a couple of dozen separate copies, and the Sealed Torii asked you to pick the floor and then the copy. Raiders were split between them, and a raid hands out its rewards by rank — so a copy with three people in it left most of its reward table unhanded. Each floor is a single place now, and the Torii is a plain list that tells you when each one opens next.
- The panel counts down to the close, and to the next opening. A raid has a deadline now, so the panel shows it: Closes in while it runs, Reopens in once it has settled. The clock ticks down on your screen instead of holding the number it was sent. Reach the goal before it hits zero — a raid that never gets there rewards nobody, however much Kegare was carried into it.
- The Gate Warden bars every raid, not every day. Every raid starts sealed. Killing the Gate Warden opens it for that raid alone, so the first group into a fresh window breaks the gate again.
- An NPC with one thing to offer just does it. Buggara opened a menu with a single row in it. Atsumi asked whether you wanted the bounty board, the one thing that NPC does. A menu of one is not a choice, so those NPCs now open what you came for on the first tap. Lists you actually choose from — shops, your bag, the village list — still wait for you to pick.
⚠️ Important
- Collect your reward before you enlist again. You hold one unclaimed Naraku reward at a time. Settle a second raid while the first is still sitting at the Sealstone and the new one takes its place. Nothing expires and there is no deadline to race — just collect it before you go back in. The panel says so when you enlist with one still waiting.
