Artifact Siege is a scheduled Abyss event in Chaotic Lower Reshanta. The immediate goal is not simply to chase eliminations: each faction contests three artifacts, and control of those objectives determines the Abyss Point bonus available after the fight. Treat it as an objective event first and open-world PvP second.
Schedule and Entry Check
The global data snapshot lists the siege on Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 21:00 server time. Server regions and seasonal operations can shift event clocks, so confirm the next opening in the in-game event panel before organizing a group. Arrive early enough to enter the correct Reshanta layer, repair equipment and set a return point.
Do not convert server time from an old screenshot. Use the live event panel, then compare it with your local clock. This prevents daylight-saving and regional-server mistakes.
How the Three Artifacts Work
The battlefield contains three capture objectives. Holding more objectives increases the faction-wide Abyss Point gain bonus recorded for the event window:
| Artifacts held | Recorded Abyss Point bonus |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2.5% |
| 2 | 5% |
| 3 | 7.5% |
Because control matters more than one isolated fight, split responsibilities between the capture group, defenders and a mobile response group. A smaller organized party can still contribute by watching approaches, interrupting captures and reporting enemy movement.
Preparation Checklist
- Empty enough inventory space for event rewards and consumables.
- Set PvP skills, crowd control breaks and defensive consumables before entry.
- Agree on one artifact to contest first instead of scattering across all three.
- Mark a regroup point and a retreat condition.
- Check the current Abyss reward priorities before spending points after the event.
During and After the Siege
Stay near the assigned objective unless the shot caller moves the group. Eliminations away from an artifact can leave the capture undefended. When control changes, rotate as a group and avoid feeding into a larger force one player at a time.
After the siege, verify which control buff is active, collect any available event rewards and record what the group lacked: mobility, healing coverage, target focus or objective awareness. For another faction-based activity with different entry rules, use the Spacetime Rift guide.
Version Notes
The schedule and percentages above belong to the archived global client snapshot 0.0.4387.0 captured on October 14, 2026. If the in-game event panel disagrees, the live client takes priority. This guide will be revised when a newer global data snapshot is available.
