Ryan 903 Posted November 25, 2025 ToA Raids Release We're happy to finally debut the release of ToA! With our flagship semi-custom twist, this raid type introduces a fusion of the invocation system and our custom affliction system. It also introduces unique custom upgrades to the traditional gear rewards, offering a better fit for the server's existing metas. Invocations & Raid Level For ToA, your "raid level" is determined by: The invocations you choose for the raid Raid difficulty (+25/+50/+75/+100 for adept/expert/master/grandmaster) Raid afflictions (+20 for each affliction) Invocations can also be selected and saved as presets, which each player has 5 slots for The following invocations are currently available for TOA: Supply Chain: Supply bundle is not given for the raid Overlay Draining: All special attacks consume 100% special energy Deadly Prayers: Prayer is smited by 20% of damage taken Dehydration: Prevents drinking any potions that restore hitpoints On a diet: Prevents consuming food of any kind Overclocked [..]: Each boss has an overclock invocation, adding or buffing its mechanics Insanity: Requires all overclock invocations enabled, and increases the Warden's final phase difficulty Your party's raid level will also determine what reward tables are unlocked: ToA Afflictions This raid type does have a unique exception with afflictions, having the Piercing affliction disabled for ToA exclusively. Based on the feedback from our testers, it was too overwhelming in conjunction with high level raids (e.g 4A 600+ GM) ToA Boss Mechanics Our semi-custom version of this raid involves similar but slightly altered & simplified versions of the fights. In addition, we've not included things like puzzle rooms. We prefer for a more fast-paced and straight-to-action style! Akkha Mechanics For his standard attack, akkha will switch between three different forms (indicated by his color, and overhead) Melee attack form (normal color, protects against range & melee) Range attack form (green color, protects against range & magic) Magic attack form (blue color, protects against magic & melee) At 80% and 40% HP thresholds, he will summon clones at different arena quadrants While the clones are active, Akkha can not be dealt damage directly The amount of clones spawned is dependent on the HP threshold, party size, and the overclock invocation Clones will target players with ranged attacks, and can be attacked with any style Attacking clones based on color (white = melee / green = range / purple = magic) will reflect some damage to Akkha despite his invulnerability (unless he has reached the min-capped HP for his next phase) At 60% HP, Akkha will fade out and party members will be required to memorize the order of the tile symbols at the center of the arena. Once four tiles are counted, the arena will begin to apply AoE damage to all quadrants except for the tiles that were indicated. This attack also occurs again at 5% HP if the Overclocked Akkha invocation is enabled At 20% HP unstable orbs will begin to spawn and roam around the entire arena for the remainder of the fight Players who collide with them will take typeless damage The amount of orbs that spawn scales up with the raid's difficulty level (adept, expert, master, grandmaster) The Overclocked Akkha invocation will also guarantee a small number (5) of unstable orbs to be in the arena during the entire fight (the count for these do not scale by raid difficulty) Zebak Mechanics The standard attack for Zebak involves a projectile being shot to the center of the arena. Ranged attack: Boulder chunk that breaks into fragments Magic attack: Jug that breaks into red orbs With the Overclocked Zebak invocation enabled, his attacks are 1 tick faster At 80% HP and 50% HP, zebak will shoot poison across the entire arena, forming venom splat tiles in the arena. Standing on these tiles will deliver damage very tick With the Overclock Zebak invocation his poison attack includes more tiles, and standing on them will also disable your active prayers NOTE: The water jug mechanic is not included (nor is it necessary) on our version of this fight After the poison attack at 80% HP, Zebak will summon boulders at a random location in the arena A few seconds afterward, a shockwave attack is sent throughout the entire arena The only safe location for this attack is behind the aforementioned boulders At 35% and 20% HP, Zebak will summon tidal waves from a random side (east or west) of the arena There will only be 2 tiles among the row of waves that will be safe When the Overclock Zebak invocation is enabled, this attack will also activate at 60% HP Kephri Mechanics Her standard attack involves a vorkath-style meteor strike that will impact a 3x3 tile grid of its original target tile. With the Overclocked Kephri invocation enabled, her meteor attack is 1 tick faster. At 75% HP and 50% HP, she will enter an invulnerable incubation stage and fire eggs at random locations around the arena If the eggs are not destroyed in time, they will hatch into scarabs which will deal typeless damage At 75% HP her eggs hatch Small scarabs and at 50% they will hatch Large scarabs (greater HP and damage) When the Overclocked Kephri invocation is enabled, she will also incubate large scarab eggs at 25% HP (and her eggs hatch 25% faster) When Kephri is at 25% HP or below, her standard attack will switch to a Dung meteor instead of the aforementioned fire meteor A dung meteor is sent to the tile of up to 5 players in the arena, and a few will also be sent to random tiles in the arena Once they land, they will leave a pile of shit at that tile -- which stuns players it lands on (and leaves a clipped tile for the remainder of the fight) Ba-Ba Mechanics Ba-ba's standard main attack is simply a melee strike When the Overclocked ba-ba invocation is enabled, all her attacks are 1-tick faster At random periods (or if no players are in melee distance) she will send her Rock fall attack, sending boulders from the sky A boulder will target each player, to which players must step away from or be dealt very high damage 1-2 boulders will land at random arena spots, which will result in a rock spawning in its place If there is already at least 1-2+ boulder in the arena, she will send her Rock throw attack instead In order to avoid damage from this attack, players must stand next to a boulder If done correctly, the boulder will take the damage instead of the player(s) When the Overclocked ba-ba invocation is enabled, her rock throw projectile travels faster (giving you less time to reach a boulder) At random points in the fight, she will summon Baboons in the arena They deal typeless damage, so you're better off killing them quickly to avoid chip damage! One baboon is spawned for each player in the party (up to 5) When the Overclocked ba-ba invocation is enabled, she will always spawn +2 extra baboons as well At 66.6% and 33.3% HP, she will commence her Rolling stones special attack All players are forced / knocked back to the other end of the arena Ba-ba will begin to throw rows of rolling stones from the other side of the arena Each row has only one "cracked" boulder which can be one-hit destroyed with ranged weapons Reaching ba-ba and attacking her with melee will force her to end the special attack Warden Mechanics On our version of ToA, Warden only has two phases (rather than three) The first phase of the fight starts with his awakening, which will always occur on the western side of the arena Warden (Phase 1) Warden starts with a full protection to melee & ranged, requiring you to primarily use magic for the beginning of this fight. His standard attacks are: Magic projectiles (electric skull projectile) Range projectiles (metal projectile) With the Overclocked Warden invocation enabled, his attacks are 1 tick faster His special attacks are: Divine projectile: Disables your prayers and sends a typed projectile (red scimitar = melee / white arrow = ranged / blue spell = magic) Imprisonment: Sends out a tile-based projectile that will stun players on impact if they don't move to a different tile Warden's Obelisk Attacks In midst of the warden fight, the obelisk in the center of the room will also commence its own attacks simultaneously. These attacks rotate in a cycle, between three different attacks Lightning skulls: Skull projectiles shoot out of the obelisk, creating a 7x7 grid of lightning on tile impact. There is a set of safe tiles within the cardinal directions of its 2x2 inner grid (seen below in the GIF example) Windmill: Dangerous tiles rotating in a clockwise direction around the arena Converging beams: Dangerous tiles slowly converge toward the center obelisk, coming from each direction of the room Core Ejection Once you deal enough damage to Warden's "yellow bar" to charge it fully, warden will eject a core that players must attack. Your max hit is guaranteed against the core, and a multiplier of damage is sent to Warden's true HP (green bar) which is displayed during this phase Players can continue attacking the core until a timer is reached. If Warden's true HP does not reach 0 he will go back to his charge (yellow bar) phase. He will also rotate his protection prayers from Melee & Range to Melee & Magic (or vice versa) when returning to his charge phase. Once players manage to fully eliminate his true HP bar from attacking the core, the party will be sent to Warden's final phase. Warden (Final Phase) During this phase, warden will raise/slam the ground tiles of the arena, alternating between the right/left/center of the arena When the Insanity invocation is enabled, this attack is 2 ticks faster NOTE: This GIF demonstrates the attack with the Insanity invocation enabled Energy Siphons At 80/60/40/20% HP, he will create an amount of Energy siphons in the arena. Players must attack the siphon skulls with melee in order to "turn" them before the siphon timer ends The siphon skulls can be 1-tick attacked (ignores combat timers / delays) Once the siphon timer ends, damage will be distributed between Warden and the player If you manage to turn all of the skulls, warden takes all the damage If you manage to turn some of the skulls, warden takes some of the damage & your party takes some damage too NOTE: There is a different pattern / layout for the siphons in solo parties as opposed to grouped parties Phantom Bosses Warden also summons phantoms during the fight: At 60% HP, Warden will summon a Zebak Phantom which will send Zebak's range/magic attacks At 40% HP, Warden will summon a Ba-Ba Phantom which will send Baba's rock fall attack (must avoid the tile) When the Insanity invocation is enabled, both of these phantoms attack 1 tick faster Enraged Phase Once he reaches 5% HP, he will heal back up to roughly 20% HP and enter Enrage phase Tiles will begin to rip away from the arena, row by row Red lightning will start to spawn at random arena tiles, dealing damage if players are on the tile once the lightning strikes When the Insanity invocation is enabled, tiles rip faster and the red lightning strikes faster NOTE: This GIF demonstrates the enrage phase with the Insanity invocation enabled ToA Rewards Keris Partisan & Upgrades The Keris partisan is available as a purple reward at any raid level It has a passive effect that deals +45% damage against beetles, scarabs, kalphites.
