== Notes ==
* The appearance of a rift is announced via an on-screen, map-wide message stating "An active disturbance has been detected!".
* There is always one event active on the map. Should one be completed or time out, a new one will immediately spawn in the other four locations.
** The locations do not have a fixed sequence, so it is possible that the event will respawn in a recently cleared location.
** The two western locations are visible north of {{waypoint|Venta Pass Waypoint}}, while the other three locations are visible after climbing the cliff south of {{waypoint|Yatendi Village Waypoint}} - with the top of the [[Rilohn River]] bubble visible in the distance to the north.
* Entering the event bubble gives you {{effect|Confusion|stacks=5}}.
* Event scaling can lead to multiple incursions and Tethered Riftstalkers may occur within a single rift event.
* Should the event fail, the area around will be under the '''Shattered Reality''' effect:
: ''This area has been destabilized due to Branded incursions. Prevent Branded invasions to repair damage to the world.''

{{bug|
* A rift may randomly despawn when the pre-event timer ("Time until rift is fully formed") reaches 0 seconds, the cause is unknown. A new event will spawn in a different location.}}
