Thank you all for participating and enjoying the Winter/Christmas event. All world events will be disabled, and the home map will turn green again. Event consumeables can still be used. If you still have left over Christmas tokens you can still spend them at ::christmasshop

Regarding the Santa Shoulder Pet, that will no longer work.

Our next event will be the Easter event, which will start roughly mid/end of March.
 

+ Forbidden Temple Rift
The Forbidden Temple rift dungeon is the 2nd rift dungeon coming to Exora. Rift dungeons are time based dungeons that any player can access. Players may be able to freely enter and leave rift dungeons within their time frame. The Forbidden Temple has a rift timer of 90 minutes. Certain donator ranks have increased time in the rift. Once your time is up you will be kicked out of the rift. Players may be able to use a rift reset scroll obtained from monster drops/credit shop. Rifts contain lots of skilling resources, monsters and a multi-boss.

How do I enter the Forbidden Temple?
- You must first have the Forbidden Rift temple ability unlocked at Hanto. You can unlock it for 25K boss points.
- It is located directly north of the slayer camp.

  + Seren the Forgotten
Seren the forgotten is the new multi-boss within the forbidden rift. She has lots of combat mechanics, is quite tanky and has lots of HP. You can access the boss room east of the forbidden temple. Top 8 players with the highest damage will receive loot.

    + Mechanics
        - Seren has ranged and magic basic attacks, that deals damage even through prayer.
        - While in the boss room, at every 5% HP seren will spew out fire to every player in the boss room. If you get hit you'll be dealt DoT damage.
        - At every 15% HP seren will fire up the whole room, only leaving certain spots to walk on.
        - Seren will spawn a minion at every 25% HP. Note that with each additional player in the room, it'll spawn an additional minion up to 8.
        - These minions while alive will increase the damage of the spitting fire.
        - Killing the minions isn't required to continue the fight. They will despawn once Seren has been killed.

  + Ancient Monsters
The ancient monsters are high-level monsters each having a different style of combat. They have high HP and defenses. However each monster has its weakness. They all share the same collection log.

  + Ancient Titan
   - Weak to melee combat.
  + Ancient Golem
   - Weak to magic combat.
  + Ancient Void Spinner
   - Weak to ranged combat.

  + Forbidden Temple Skilling Resources
The forbidden temple, like the hellside rift contains resources. These resources can be used to create new arrows, new potions and foods. Let's list out the resources that can be obtained, and their finished craft.

   + Onyx Gem Tree
      - Requires Lvl. 97 woodcutting and a gemstone hatchet (or its effect). It is located south-east of the temple.
      - You will receive regular uncut onyx while cutting the gem tree. You also have a low chance to obtain enchanted onyx gem.
      - Like the other enchanted gems, you have to use pestle & mortar to crush it in to enchanted onyx dust. Lvl. 94 herblore required.
      - The enchanted onyx & dust is used as a material in the titan forge, and material to create enchanted hellside arrows.

        + Hellside Arrows (e)
           - Enchanted onyx dust can be used to create enchanted hellside arrows. 1 dust creates x15 enchanted hellside arrows.
           - The enchanted hellside arrows are now the BiS arrows for ranged boasting a +120 Ranged Strength and +48 Ranged Attack
           - You need Lvl. 97 fletching in order to enchant it.

   + Ethereal Lizard
Ethereal lizard is a new hunting material, they can be caught at Lvl. 94 hunting using a regular box trap. The ethereal lizard is used in various recipes such as creating the Grand ethereal potion and Grand ethereal feast.

    + Grand Ethereal Potion
      - Boosts range level by +30 and magic levels by +25 for 2 minutes. It cannot be used while the overload effect is active.
      - Requires: lvl. 95 herblore, x1 fellstalk potion (unf), x1 extreme ranging (4), x1 extreme magic (4) to create.

   + Ethereal Dartfish
A new type of fish giving the best healing, and additional effect such as increased ranged and magic levels. However it slowly degrades. The dartfish can also be used in various recipes, like creating the grand ethereal feast. 

   - Lvl. 97 fishing is required to catch the ethereal dartfish, and it can only be caught with the Hunter's harpoon.
   - Lvl. 95 cooking is required, and past lvl. 98 you wont burn the dartfish.

    + Grand Ethereal Feast
      - Boosts range by +35 and magic levels by +30 for 5 minutes. It cannot be used while the overload effect is active.
      - To create the feast, you must first forge its raw version via the titan forge > materials category.
      - Once you have the raw ethereal feast, simply cook it and you'll now have the cooked version. Note: Feasts cannot be burnt. Lvl. 97 cooking.

  + Forbidden Temple Loot
What kind of loot can you expect in the forbidden temple? The forbidden temple mostly contains loot that is used in titan forge recipes. However, this time we've taken a look at how we want loot to be obtained. We're experimenting with a pity system. This means that you wont be completely reliant on jackpot drops.

Note: Shards are untradeable, cant be sold in trading post, and are always kept on death.

First we'll explain what type of loot you can obtain, and how they work. We'll then explain later down the update log what they forge.

  + Tempest Essence
     - Tempest essence is used to titan forge the BiS equipment such as Eclipse, Bloodstorm and Shadowfrost. Cape is excluded.
     - It can only be obtained as a raw drop from Seren the Forgotten.
      + Tempest Shards
         - Tempest shards is the pity material, collect x100 tempest shards, click on the item and you'll be able to create a tempest essence.
         - Tempest shards can be obtained from all ancient monsters, zone rewards, and Seren the Forgotten.
  + Forgotten Relic
     - Forgotten Relic is used to titan forge the BiS accessories such as Dragonic Aegis, Arcane Crystal and Venomous Talon.
     - Can be obtained from all ancient monsters, and Seren the Forgotten.
      + Forgotten Shards

         - Forgotten shards can be obtained from all monsters, zone rewards, and Seren the Forgotten.
  + Power Nova Relic & Hellfire Barrage Relic
     - Can be obtained from Seren the Forgotten.
      + Ancient Shards
         - Ancient shards are a bit different. You wont be needing to forge the power nova or hellfire relic. Once you collect x100 ancient shards, you can click on the item and it'll ask you which relic you'd like to create. Once you have the magic relic, you can click on it to unlock the new spell.
         - Ancient shards can be obtained from all monsters, zone rewards, and Seren the Forgotten.

  + Forbidden Temple Magic Spells
As you've read before, you can unlock new magic spells. These spells are an enhanced version of the power charge and hellfire burst spells. To be able to use the new magic spells, you'll first have to have their respective spell unlocked. So you can't use power nova spell without having power charge unlocked.

   + Power Nova
      - Lvl. 99 magic required. A multi-target power charge spell.
      - It stacks power charges on one monster you're attacking, and requires more stacks for the special damage.
      - Once enough charges have been stacked, your special will hit all monsters you're attacking.
      - Due to the AoE effect, its damage has been reduced. However Shadowfrost effect increases it. In terms of Single Target, Power charge is still better.

   + Hellfire Barrage
     - Lvl. 99 magic required. A multi-target spell that rejuvinates prayer, health and freezes the target.
     - In short; it has the blood, ice and hellfire effects combined in to one.
     - Deals the same damage as regular hellfire burst.

  + Forbidden Temple Misc.
