Raid Progression
There are five primary raids in The Darkened Sea, with two additional raids ("one-off" raids) thrown in the mix. All of them take place in a single Arx Mentis raid instance.
Requesting the Raid
To request the Arx Mentis raid, you must have completed:
- Free Us From Ourselves - solo task from Firiona Vie (map; zone-in & top floor)
- A Beginning From an End - solo task from Firiona Vie
- All Rivers Lead to the Sea - group mission from Firiona Vie
- The Cost of Balance - group mission from Firiona Vie
For more information about group progression through The Darkened Sea, see this guide.

Participating & Flagging
- Tier 1
- The Arx Mentis raid can be requested from Firiona Vie in either Katta Castrum: Deluge OR Arx Mentis. The raid instance does NOT check for the Arx Mentis group zone flag, so there are no actual requirements for participating in the first event.
- Tier 2
- Upon winning the first raid, everyone who got credit gets a key on their cursor that can be right-clicked. Right-click a key four times for the flag to participate in the three Tier 2 raids. (In other words, you need four kill credits of the first raid in order to participate in Tier 2.)
- Tier 3
- Upon completion of each of the Tier 2 raids, everyone who got credit gets a key on their cursor that can be right-clicked. Right-click a key 12 times for the flag to participate in final Arx Mentis raid event. (In other words, you need 12 kill credits in Tier 2 in order to participate in Tier 3.)
Raid Currency
Raid currency is once again in place for The Darkened Sea expansion.
In addition to chest loot, everyone in the raid receives a number of Arx Energy Crystals. This currency is used to buy raid gear (both visible and non-visible) from an adventure merchant in Katta Castrum: Deluge.
- See Researcher Orbiana (click for map) in the zone-in area of Katta Castrum: Deluge to buy raid gear.
- Currency: Arx Energy Crystal
As soon as you complete an event, all items from that event become available to you for purchase.
One Off Raids
New with this expansion are "One-Off raids". If a raid is "one off", it means that you only get one shot at it. You get a lockout timer upon engaging the event (try not to fail it).
