ABOUT
Eternal Travelers is a standalone mega-content designed from scratch by the Firestorm team as a custom addition to the classic PvE experience. It features 3 dungeons each with 3 difficulty tiers that work similarly like Mythic but without a timer, adapted for every skill level, where you will encounter unique bosses and mechanics, discover lots of treasures and temporary abilities that will boost your character to god-like levels.

It also features a Hub full with vendors where you can purchase gear that you can completely modify to your needs, including Secondary and Tertiary stats using tokens obtained from within this content.


CORE MECHANICS

• 5-man Dungeons (1 Tank, 1 Heal, 3 Dps)

Bronze, Silver and Gold—choose your level and difficulty and hop into these Mythic style 5-man dungeons, but with NO TIMER to stress you out. Take your time to explore, adapt, and overcome.

Maps
1. The Battle for Shattrath

• Complete the scenario objectives by defeating the bosses.
• Eliminate the majority of enemy forces.
• There is no timer.

You can queue into any instance using the Dungeon Finder, there is no cooldown or special requirement other than a minimum item level of 420.
Upon entering a dungeon, players are frozen in time. The party leader can activate the Time Shift to select a difficulty and begin the dungeon.

A Hub Packed with Rewards
Complete challenges and optional bonus objectives to earn tokens and turn them into epic loot. The Hub offers a variety of vendors offering powerful gear, mounts, cosmetics and more.

What IF…?
Enemies can drop their anima souls. Collect their essence to unlock temporary god-like abilities for the remaining of the dungeon. Hey, who doesn’t like to be overpowered?

Over and Over
Eternal Travelers is a standalone type of content designed to keep you engaged with fresh, fun challenges that are as competitive and rewarding as the rest of the activities. It integrates seamlessly within the game, offering you high replayability, adapted for every skill level.

An Alternative to Classic Gearing
Forget RNG frustrations. Earn tokens, target the gear you need, upgrade its item level, and customize it with the Secondary and Tertiary stats of your choice. No longer replacing items 10 times

Special Features

Explore alternate dimensions to face special Rares, interact with cursed shrines for mixed blessings and track down the hidden vendor in each dungeon.
Navigating dungeons is simple with boss checkpoints and diverse teleportation options throughout.
...but more about these below.

Nostwin, the Hidden Vendor

ACHIEVEMENTS

SPECIAL FEATURES

AFFIXES

1. The End of the World: 
- Every 4 minutes, and every 8 minutes thereafter, a Singularity forms and grows over 6 seconds before annihilating all players. You must be prepared to survive.
<NOT AVAILABLE ON RELEASE>

2. Gathering Blizzard:
- Greatfather Winter awaits at the dungeon entrance, offering the Gathering Blizzard challenge. Speak with him within the first minute to accept, or he will depart, taking the opportunity—and the rewards—with him!

- The chilling blizzard causes the ambient temperature to drop, reducing your vision. Players must remain within 10 yds of other players or they gain Freezing Blood (After 6 sec, if the target is not within 10 yds of enough other players, the target is frozen solid).
- At 50 power, players must remain within distance of 3 other players.
- At 75 power, players must remain within distance of 5 other players
- At full power, vision is severely limited for the next 12 seconds.

2. Crimson Concord:
Creatures become empowered based on the number of similar creatures within 15 yards, increasing their haste and damage dealt equal to the level of the dungeon per stack. Upon reaching 10 applications, the creature gains Crimson Concord: Unyielding granting them immunity to interrupts and crowd controlling effects.


ANIMA POWERS
Upon death, enemies have a chance to summon an Anima Cell, allowing players to pick a [Normal / Uncommon / Rare / Epic] Anima Power.
Similar to Torghast mechanics from Shadowlands.

TREASURES
Treasures can be randomly discovered throughout the dungeons. Interacting with one rewards the player with various goods but applies a weekly cooldown, allowing up to 10 different treasures to be looted per week.

SHRINES
Shrines can be randomly encountered throughout the dungeons. Interacting with one applies a 10-minute debuff to the player, often combining both beneficial and detrimental effects.

UNSTABLE CRYSTALS
Unstable crystals can appear randomly throughout the dungeons. Interacting with a crystal applies a stacking debuff to all players.
Once the debuff reaches 5 stacks, players gain the ability to see Unstable Elementals—powerful foes that can drop special rewards.

NULLIFICATION DEVICES
Nullification devices can be found throughout the dungeons. Activating one initiates a cleansing protocol, dealing Arcane damage to all players within 100 yards and removing Sated, Temporal Displacement and other similar debuffs. The damage decreases the farther players are from the titanic countermeasure.

TIMEWALKER KNOWLEDGE
All players have access to a scenario button that, when used, grants the caster the blessing of Timewalker Knowledge, providing access to a random extra ability.

TIME SHIFT
Once the dungeon has started, the Time Shift can also be used to alter the sky's appearance for your character.

FORTIFICATION & DESTABILIZATION PROTOCOLS
In dungeons, specific rare enemies can become empowered with: 
Fortification Protocol: Reduces all damage taken by 20%. This effect can stack up to 4 times.

Each dungeon contains 4 Diagnostic Consoles. Players can interact with these consoles to place orbs of specific colors: Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green on them.
For each console with a unique-colored orb placed, one stack of the fortification is removed.
When all stacks are removed, the rare's empowerment switches to:

Destabilization Protocol: Increases the damage taken by the rare enemy by 20% and also increases the damage they deal by 20%.
