Entrance Conditions

  • Level Requirement: Must be between level 101-200
  • Party Status: Must not be in a party (solo entry only)
  • Pet Status: Must dismiss any active pets before entering
  • Entry Tickets: Must have at least 1 entry remaining
  • Timer Status: Previous timer must have expired

How It Works

Upon entering Dark Plains:

  • Assigned to a random server (1-7) to distribute player load
  • Given a 5-minute timer that starts immediately
  • Locked to your assigned server until your time expires

While inside:

  • The system tracks your time remaining
  • When your time expires, you'll be automatically teleported to a safe zone
  • Your server becomes available for other players

Server Locking System

Important: Each server can only host one player at a time. If all servers are occupied, you'll receive a message: "Dark Plains are currently full." You must wait until a server becomes available to enter.

Fail-Safe Mechanisms

  • Teleporting Out: Timer continues running in background, server remains locked until timer expires
  • Disconnection: Timer continues running, if offline for more than 2 minutes, server is released
  • Server Restart: All active flags are automatically reset, servers unlocked

Dark Plains Chest System

Obtaining Chest: Players level 101-200 with 100 mob kills and free inventory slot will receive 1 Dark Plains Chest (100 kills deducted from counter).

Best Practices & Technical Notes

Best Practices

  • Plan your dungeon runs carefully considering the 5-minute time limit
  • Be aware of the 20:00 Server Time daily reset to maximize your entries
  • If you disconnect, wait for the timer to expire or stay offline for more than 2 minutes
  • Attempting to circumvent the timer will not work due to background tracking

Technical Notes

  • The system is fully autonomous and resistant to exploitation
  • The short 5-minute time limit prevents macros and automated gameplay
  • Server allocation uses randomized shuffle for even distribution across 7 servers
  • Database operations prevent race conditions when occupying or releasing servers
  • Kill counters persist between entries for both dungeons

Important Notes

Remember: Both dungeons automatically log all entries and chest acquisitions. You'll receive notifications showing remaining entries and scrolls obtained when opening chests.
