Altar & Daily Seasonal Offerings

The altar lets each character accept daily offerings, gain favors for specific activities, and sacrifice items for an immediate XP reward. Offerings are shared worldwide, but selections, favors, and completions are tracked per character.


Every day includes combat and two selected skills. Each category has four offering brackets: 10–20, 21–30, 31–40, and 41–50. Choose the target you want to work on from the available offerings.

CategoryOffering source
CombatItems dropped by a specific monster.
Mining, Woodcutting, AlchemyA gathering resource or a crafted item, depending on the day’s rotation.
FishingA gathering resource.
Weaponcrafting, Gearcrafting, Jewelrycrafting, CookingA crafted item.

Each character can select one offering per category per UTC day, for up to three offerings per day. Brackets are alternative choices within a category, not extra completions. Once accepted, the selection cannot be changed that day.

The rotation resets at 00:00 UTC. Accepted offerings and favors expire at that reset, including unfinished offerings. Use the response’s expires_at timestamp to track the deadline.


  1. Find an altar with GET /maps?content_type=seasonal_altar and move your character to its map tile.
  2. Read today’s offerings and select an id from the response.
  3. Accept the offering at the altar. Its favor activates immediately; no items are consumed at this step.
  4. Gather, fight, or craft with the favor, and collect the requested items.
  5. Return to the altar with the full required quantity in your character’s inventory and complete the accepted offering. The items are consumed.

Acceptance and completion each have a 3-second cooldown. Both actions require the character to be at the altar and free of cooldown.


Favors apply from acceptance until the daily reset, including after completion. They follow the character when it leaves the altar.

Favor targetXP multiplierItem drop quantity multiplier
Specific monster×1.5×1.5
Specific resource node×1.5×1.5
Specific crafted item×1.5×1.0 (no extra crafted items)

The favor only applies to the exact target_type and target_code returned by the API. A favor for one resource node does not boost every resource in that skill. For combat, the XP favor applies to that character’s XP from the matching monster, rather than to every participant’s XP.

The drop bonus increases quantities of successful item drops, rather than drop chances. Fractional quantities are resolved randomly: one dropped item becomes either one or two, with equal probability, averaging 1.5 items. A failed drop roll still gives nothing.

The XP bonus is applied after the normal XP calculation and rounding. Activities that grant zero XP because of the level penalty still grant zero XP with a favor.


Completing an offering grants 25% of the XP required to advance from your current level in that category, rounded to the nearest integer with halves rounded up. This uses your level at completion, rather than the offering bracket or the XP remaining until your next level.

For example, a skill at level 20 requires 8,200 XP to advance to level 21, so completing an offering for that skill grants 2,050 XP. Combat offerings grant combat XP; skill offerings grant XP in the corresponding skill. At maximum level, the immediate XP reward is 0, but you can still complete the offering.

Each completed offering advances achievement objectives of type favor. Progress is shared across your account, as with other achievements. Two new artifacts can be obtained by completing altar-related achievements. Achievement item rewards are sent to your pending items.
