Take on Manaya's Core, Kelsaik's Nest, and a seasonal featured dungeon: Timescape, with a new challenge: keystones that increase in difficulty from +1 to +20. Push higher tiers, beat the timer, and earn Challenger Tokens, seasonal achievements, and exclusive rewards.

If you have ever played retail World of Warcraft this system may seem a tad bit familiar to you…

Dungeon Overview

<aside> 💡

Higher tiers increase boss stats and introduce additional mechanics. Modifiers carry forward as you climb: a +20 run includes the mechanics unlocked at earlier tiers.

Keystones and Getting Started

Each Challenger Keystone names a dungeon and a tier. Only the party leader can activate it.

1. Form your party and decide whose keystone to use.
2. Have the party leader use the key for the dungeon you want to enter.
3. Enter the matching Challenger dungeon with that party.
4. Complete the dungeon and receive a new key based on your result.

Using a key before entry selects the run; it does not consume the key immediately. Use the same key again to cancel, or use another key to change your selection. An unused selection expires after 10 minutes.

<aside> 💡

Keep the same party for the run. Players who were there when the run started can re-enter, but bringing in replacements can invalidate the run's rewards and keystone progression.

</aside>

The key belongs to the player who supplied it, even if party leadership changes afterward.

Earn your first Challenger Keystone by clearing Manaya's Core (Hard) or Kelsaik's Nest (Hard). To enter Challenger Timescape, speak to Karrung in Velika.
