Where do rifts lead?
- Global: Verteron (Elyos) ↔ Altgard (Asmodians), with about 15 rift spawns each — [Single source].
- Some guides also list Eltnen and Morheim portals. Those zones are KR/TW content after the Jul 1, 2026 update — [KR/TW]. We do not count them for Global until NC confirms.
- Opponents come from the server paired with yours — [Official].
- See Verteron and Altgard on our interactive map.
How long can you stay?
- About 1 hour of rift usage time — [Community ×3]. One guide says 3 hours; we treat that as outdated.
- A Spacetime Rift Ticket adds 30 minutes — [Single source].
- Rift time is tracked separately from Abyss time — [Community ×3].
War Mode: who can attack you?
- Set War Mode before crossing. Without it, enemy players cannot attack you — [Community ×2].
- You can change War Mode only in your own territory, with a 70-minute cooldown — [Community ×2].
In plain words: if you only want the rift quests, leave War Mode off. Turn it on when you go hunting for fights.
What can you do on the other side?
- Rift quests: 7 per faction; each gives EXP, Kina, a Wisdom Stone, a Daevanion Crystal and 2,000 AP — [Single source].
- Garrisons, Sealed Dungeons and resource farming — [Single source].
- Abyss Points: after you hit your weekly AP caps, rifts still give a small amount — [Community ×3]. See Abyss.

About 1 hour of usage time (most sources; one says 3 hours). A Spacetime Rift Ticket adds 30 minutes, according to one source.
