Access, progression and reading the record

Forbidden Rites is the active event league on the review date, associated with version 0.5.5. Its scheduled ending is the 1.0 launch. Conquerors of Wraeclast belongs to that future launch rather than the live league described here. The latest client hotfix number can change within Forbidden Rites without creating a new league or a new economy.

The source card describes Ritual encounters in campaign areas and maps, unique boss rituals, Sacred Bloom and access to the Viridian Wildwood, together with Soul Cores. A league character's progression and economy should therefore be compared within the same league and mode. A Standard price or an older league guide can provide context but cannot silently supply the current economy. The start date contains a clock disagreement: one record says one in the afternoon Pacific Daylight Time, while the wiki records nineteen hundred UTC. Those hours are not equivalent, so both remain labelled instead of being averaged into a false exact time. The date itself and the scheduled ending are separate fields. Use the patch-notes page for client updates such as 0.5.5f and the release-date guide for the future launch. Keeping league, patch and release status separate makes it easier to follow the appropriate character and progression guide.
