Outside Dark Agartha awaits a new NPC: the âShady Salesmanâ. Every day, he sells access to different Challenge Timelines - treacherous threads of possibilities within Dark Agartha - with greater potential rewards (including a new outfit) but also greater difficulty.
With Update 2.3.3 (Winter 2019) appeared the Challenge Timeline where for 10k MOF you can purchase the Challenge Timeline debuff which runs out at daily reset time.
It may not take long until the various challenges start recycling through, and given that some Challenge Timelines are more difficult than others and its 10k MOF price tag, it may be better to âcherry-pickâ
which Challenge Timelines are to your liking.
This thread is to document the various Challenge Timeline challenges to aid in that cherry-picking.
When purchased, immediately activate an alternate timeline in Dark Agartha. This timeline is more difficult to complete, but also increases the number of Fragments received from the reward chest.
You may return to the normal timeline that everyone else is experiencing today by purchasing âAbort Challenge Timelineâ from the same vendor, or the Irreparable Custodian of Curios inside Dark Agartha.
The available Challenge Timeline will last until Dark Agartha changes at the daily reset.
First day the challenge was -30% dealt damage. Donât know what it was the second day because I automatically assumed the challenge was -30% forever and didnât change daily(?).
This is what I have still running on me
This is whatâs available at the salesman
Itâs 3 hours until DA reset but the challenge already has changed. Has anyone figured out if the challenge changes multiple times in 24 hours or is challenge daily reset time different from DA reset time?
I think previous ones were 30% damage reduction and meteors. Confirmation needed.
I wonder if they are random, or fitting to a specific schedule.
Also the Challenge Timeline might not actually reset at the daily reset time, despite tooltip.
This belongs in that great screenshots thread. What a great view.
I have no idea how you got up on that roof either. Must be exclusive for evil maniacs.
Yeah, i donât know if there was one after damage reduction yet before meteors either.
No, the second day had meteors. But the change of the challenge timelines doesnât match up with the reset on Dark Agartha, so itâs currently possible to run the previous dayâs challenge again if you do it early enough in the day.
Actually thereâs been a different challenge each day, itâs just that they currently change over at 12:00 GMT instead of when DA resets. Pretty sure itâs a bug, based on Nirvelleâs reaction when we told him.
And another new DA challenge! And we now know for sure that the challenge reset timer was bugged, as todayâs patch fixed it so that itâs at the same time as the DA reset. The Shady Salesman will despawn 20 mins before the reset so you canât pay for the buff then not have enough time to complete a normal run.
Definitely risking some hubris but todayâs Challenge (Chaotic Energies repeated) the 1 extra effect made them easier cause they were too busy casting stuff to hurt me
E12 -> 9 glyph, 17 talisman fragmens. still no cosmetics here.
Haha, itâs just got a very wide spread, yesterday I got 18 from non-challenge E12. Iâm probably gonna move to doing E13 non-challenge and E12 on harder challenges soon.
Well, the actual amount of mof is worth it for 2 extra loot right now if thatâs what it is (seems to be more like a random 0-4 extra), but also I donât care about mof, Iâm just paying for a chance at cosmetics.
For me, frags and cosmetics have low appeal (although evil laugh is cool). And MOFS are just for COOT achieve. But, I find novelty in the variety of challenges themselves. Unfortunately weâve already had some double-ups in this first week, as is todayâs;
Challenge timeline: Meteor Shower
Clusters of meteors will perodically impact near you.
Yeah, the double ups werenât deliberate, just an issue where the challenges werenât changing over when they were meant to, so you could get the same challenge on two different days (rather than the same challenge being randomly selected two days in a row).
-30% damage dealt
Meteor shower
2 fewer lives
no sprint and damage over time
4 mins less time
random bosses with an extra ability each
bosses deal 30% more damage
I believe those 7 are all of the challenges that weâll get for now. They may add more later, but for now thatâs what weâve got. 7âs a nice range to randomise from, thereâs enough variety to keep it interesting
