Norns' Game

How Norns' Game works

• Seen in game 11–15 Nov 2026 (server time); rules read 12 Nov 2026. The calendar describes it as "Cross three Mirage layers for rewards." In game
• Team-up Phase: any Chieftain can create a team of up to 4. The leader can invite or kick members, disband the team and set entry requirements. Teams lock when the Exploration Phase begins. In game
• There are 3 regions: Divine Court Ruins, Frozen Exclusion Zone and Land of Destruction. Each exploration costs Norns' Dice, and deeper exploration costs more Dice. In game
• Defeat special Blackforged or spend a set amount of Norns' Spindles to move to the next region. Entering a new region clears your progress in the previous one, and you can't go back. In game
• Each region has its own Blackforged and events; completing them gives rewards and Threads of Fate, the point item for the individual leaderboard. In game
• Defeating a Blackforged drops Mirages, an item that greatly raises your combat attributes inside Norns' Game. In game
• In the Land of Destruction you meet other Chieftains. Might is converted proportionally into HP; at zero HP you are sent back to the Frozen Exclusion Zone to recover. In game
• Defeating other Chieftains gives Echoes of Fate, the point item for the team leaderboard. The winner gains a little Echoes of Fate and Mirages and removes some of the target's HP; an attacker who loses loses nothing. In game
• Each entry to the Land of Destruction gives 2 Echoes of Fate. In game
• You can mark a strong enemy so teammates can assist. Each assist has a cooldown, uses 1 assist attempt (restored with Norns' Dice) and gives a fixed number of points; assist rewards come by mail. In game
• At 00:00 server time every day all Chieftains are sent back to the Divine Court Ruins; the instance closes 5 minutes earlier. In game
• Norns' Dice are given at regular intervals up to a cap; none are given while you are at the cap, and unused Dice are cleared when the event ends. In game
• Chests found while exploring are opened with the matching keys. In game
• Leaderboards: the top 200 Chieftains with at least 30,000 individual points, and the top 200 teams with at least 20 team points, get rewards. In game
• Threads of Fate per encounter, Divine Court Ruins: Hellhound-Fenrir 400, Stone Colossus 100, Spider Swarm 200, Sacred Spring 400, Destiny's Blessing (gold) 4,500, Fate's Favor (silver) 3,000, The Norns' Gift (purchase) 1,000. In game
• Frozen Exclusion Zone: Sage-Mimir 800, Frost Guardian 200, Frost Wyrmling 400, Sacred Spring 800, Destiny's Blessing 4,500, Fate's Favor 3,000, The Norns' Gift 1,000. In game
• Land of Destruction: Venom Dragon-Nidhogg 1,200, Fire Crystal Golem 300, Blood Bat 600, Mysterious Chieftain 1,200, Sacred Spring 1,200, Destiny's Blessing 4,500, Fate's Favor 3,000, The Norns' Gift 3,000. In game
• Drops: Destiny's Blessing always gives a gold chest and Fate's Favor a silver chest; The Norns' Gift gives a key and a chest. Ring drops were shown on Venom Dragon-Nidhogg (3%) and the Mysterious Chieftain (2%). In game
• Leaderboard rewards (12 Nov 2026, icons only): individual rank 1 starts with 15 rings, 20 chests, 50 red items, 20 medallions and 20 purple cubes (rank 2: 8/15/40/15/15; rank 3: 5/10/30/10/10); team rank 1 starts with 10 chests, 50 gold items, 120 bronze items, 50 purple items and 10 × 72,000 gold (rank 2: 5/40/80/40/8; rank 3: 3/30/50/30/6).

Max-score checklist

• Form or join a team of four before exploration starts: teams lock when the Exploration Phase begins.
• Spend Norns' Dice before they reach the cap, and all of them before the event ends.
• Clear what you want in a region before moving on: you can't go back.
• Enter the Land of Destruction for team points (2 Echoes of Fate per entry) and mark strong enemies for teammates.
• Finish each day before 23:55 server time: everyone is reset to the Divine Court Ruins at 00:00.
• Reach 30,000 Threads of Fate for an individual reward place.

Ticks are saved in this browser and clear at the next 00:00 server-time reset.

How to win Norns' Game

• Gold Destiny's Blessing (4,500) and silver Fate's Favor (3,000) are the biggest Threads of Fate sources in every region.
• Attacking costs you nothing if you lose, so test strong targets and call teammates to assist.
• Mirages from Blackforged boost you only inside Norns' Game; collect them before taking on other Chieftains.
