Discovering the Valour Rift
Hidden Valour Rift
The Cartographer at the Bristle Woods Rift has uncovered a plot by the Absolute Acolyte Mouse to hide a menacing Valour Rift. Using their ability to influence the passage of time, the Absolute Acolyte has hidden the Valour Rift slightly out of phase with our timeline.
Charting the Valour Rift
Unraveling the Absolute Acolyte's plan will require a sophisticated piece of equipment called a Rift Chronometer. Purchase one from the Bristle Woods Rift Cartographer for 100 Tiny Sprockets, 1 Battery Fragment, 1 Raw Rift Crystal, and 200,000 gold.
Once in possession of a Rift Chronometer you'll be able to uncover Rift Distortions by capturing any Riftwalker or Riftstalker mice. These distortions are a key piece of information the Cartographer needs to successfully chart a map of the Valour Rift.
The Cartographer requires 2,000 Rift Distortions to unlock the Absolute Acolyte Mouse's cryptographic method and supply an accurate map of the Valour Rift itself.
Stabilizing Valour Rift's Entrance
Although with your help the Cartographer will be able to provide a map of the layout of the Valour Rift, more extensive research is required to find a means of stabilizing the entrance. The stabilization research will take nearly two weeks to complete. Until then, Archduke/Archduchess and above hunters are encouraged to obtain a Rift Chronometer and Valour Rift Map Piece ahead of time to be able to hunt within the Valour Rift once a means of entering it is discovered.
