You only have 10 minutes to find and traverse one of the portals in the world. After that, it will close again.
Where can I find the space-time rifts in Aion 2? Some green side quests lead you to the portals, as you need to go to the regions of the enemy faction for these. Interactive maps like the one from interactivemap.app can also help. Or you can just look at the following screenshots:


What is my task on the other side? Once you have traversed the portal, you can roam the enemy continent for an hour and there …
- Farm resources and monsters
- Complete green side quests
- Activate PvP and hunt the players of the opposing faction
- Master garrisons and sealed dungeons for Kinah, Abyss points, and enhancement stones
Do you have to play PvP when you are in the rift? No, if you’re not a fan of PvP, you do not have to engage in PvP on the other side of the rift.
Just don’t mark yourself for PvP, and then enemy players cannot attack you. However, watch out for the outposts of the other faction. The NPC guardians positioned there will immediately attack you if you approach them.
How do I get back home? If you die, the fun is immediately over and you resurrect on your continent. But don’t worry, that’s not the only way back home.
Open your key with M and go to the circle symbol with the outer ring and the star in the middle in the top right. Then select your home area (so Altgard for Asmodians and Verteron for Elyos) and teleport with a scroll to the fast travel point of your choice.
