Encounter Challenges

Encounter Challenges are optional extra mechanical objectives in Raid encounters, and in The Desert Perpetual they are a Feat modifier.

Raids before Feats

In older raids, such as Leviathan and Leviathan, Eater of Worlds, challenges are special objectives (completion, performance and special-condition challenges) that grant extra rewards. In King's Fall each encounter had a rotating weekly challenge plus an always-available triumph.

Feat version

In The Desert Perpetual, five Encounter Challenges Feats each add an enforced mechanical challenge to an encounter. A Feat can only be added once the raid has been completed. It is required for the Challenging Victory triumph of the Atemporal seal. Running more Feats raises loot tier: three Feats guarantee Tier 2 loot, with a chance at Tier 3 (as of the July 2025 update).
