Anomaly Zones

Temporary zones that appear in the wild, announce themselves server-wide, and vanish again. Some boost you — some want you dead.

The five anomalies

Anomaly	Type	What happens inside
Azure Bloom	Farming	Crop growth ×2, harvest yield ×1.5, farming EXP ×1.5 — 30 min
Verdant Surge	EXP	Vanilla, class, and profession EXP ×1.5 — 30 min
Crimson Rift	Invasion	Waves of event mobs; every 15 kills earns you a personal Crimson Cache that spawns near you
Eclipse Rift	Boss	A boss awakens when the first player enters; killing it drops 2–5 public loot caches, then the rift collapses
True Eclipse Rift	PvP Boss	Same as Eclipse, but PvP is forced inside — and the boss drops 5–10 caches

Azure Bloom, Verdant Surge, and Crimson Rift are guaranteed to appear at least every 2 hours. The two Eclipse rifts run on a 4-hour guarantee.

Finding them

• Server broadcasts warn 10, 5, and 1 minute before a zone spawns, and again when it moves or despawns.
• Zones show on the web map as coloured circles.
• /anomalys lists every live zone with location, radius, time left, and PvP status. Right-click an entry to point your compass at it.
• Inside a zone you'll see a boss bar, particles, and an entry title. Zones relocate periodically, so keep an eye on the broadcasts.

Loot caches

Caches glow until opened and cannot be broken, hoppered, or blown up.

• Crimson caches are yours alone — nobody else can open one that spawned for you. If a cache is pending, /az claim gives it to you.
• Eclipse caches are public — first come, first served after the boss dies.
