Never miss a rift, step by step
- Open our rift timer; it reads your device's time zone.
- Turn on a browser alert for 5, 10 or 15 minutes before each opening.
- Or subscribe to the calendar feed at /rift.ics, which has a 5-minute alarm on every rift and follows DST on its own.
- Get to a portal within 10 minutes of the opening; after that it stops accepting players.
Why some timers are an hour off
Korean servers open rifts at 02:00, 05:00, 08:00 KST and so on, which is 17:00, 20:00, 23:00 UTC: one hour before global. Some English countdowns follow the Korean schedule and end up an hour early for NA/EU players. Taiwan uses the same server-time hours on GMT+8, an hour later than Korea. Our timer uses the global schedule checked on the live servers on October 7, 2026.
Other hourly events, such as the Beritra Air Raid at half past every hour and the Shugo Festival, are on our all timers page.
