The price is reduced, older BPs were $9.99 / £7.49 / €9.99 – BP1 2022 is $6.99 / £5.24 / €6.99 – Have confirmed with CM that the reduced price will be for the entire season and not for a ‘limited time’.
The Battle Pass is lasting longer again, 96 days compared to the 56 days of the previous few passes.
Over previous Battle Pass seasons, the rewards were refined to make them more in line with what players wanted, including getting rid of useless items and adding dimension items.. the rewards for BP1 2022 are exactly the same as the original BP1, meaning all the refining has been undone.
Start and End Date
Start Date = Wednesday 4th May 2022 (After downtime) End Date = Monday 8th August 2022 (07:00 Server Time) (96 days long) With one extra week to claim any remaining rewards, ending on Monday 15th August 2022 (07:00 Server Time) Battle Pass Season 1 2022 is 96 days long
A player with Battle Pass bought and Patron sub active will take on average 25 days to complete the battle quest, if they do every quest available each day/week, they want to start no later than the 14th July to be able to complete the Battle Pass comfortably before it finishes. If you do not plan on spending money on Battle Pass then you should start straight away to avoid running out of time, though with average XP gain, you still have 41 days spare!. You can spend credits to reroll low XP quests, but its much cheaper just to directly purchase XP with credits. This will help you complete in even less time. You should only do this towards the end of the BP if you are worried you wont make it. You can see the maths on the main battle pass page and a graph below.
Will we have to complete every quest?
The simple answer is no.
If you want to get all the way to level 30 then you will need to earn 600,000 BPXP
This is an average of 6,250 per day or 43,750 per week over 96 days.
Weeklies give 5k, 8k or 10k each.
Dailies give between 1k and 3k.
Patrons will have 6 dailies to choose from, Non-Patrons get 4.
All Players have 3 weeklies.
You should always aim to do as many of the quests as you can each day/week. You do not have to do every single quest to get to level 30, as long as you start early enough and farm all the easy quests earning at least 6,250 per day or 43,750 per week, then you can complete without too much effort (this is shown by the blue ‘XP required’ line in the graph). If you start later in the season then you will need to complete every quest you are given, buying the BP or having patron will help you complete faster, this is shown by the other lines in the graph.
XP boosts, such as those from Patron, Loyalty and Vials DO NOT increase your BPXP earned.
This graph can be used to see if you are still on track to finish the BP on time, try to stay just above this line!
How many different quests are there?
There are a lot of different quests available. Objectives will be massively varied, involving every aspect of the game, including; Dungeons, Raids, Zone Events, Rift Closing, Instant Adventures, Minion Missions, PVP, Rare Killing, Artifact Hunting and more.
Quest Distribution
During the 6 previous Battle Passes, with a lot of player feedback and bug reports, many of the quests were changed or replaced. Also, quest allocation was finetuned to make it a more pleasant experience for all types of players.
With this ‘rerelease’ of Battle Pass 1, it seems all that hard work has been undone… these quests are the same as the first Battle Pass, before all the finetuning took place.. So there is no ‘Quest Allocation’ or any way to predict what types of quests you will get. It is back to being completely random.
Requires XP?
Some of the quests will require you to mentor down to the correct level so the content would grant XP. If this is required then the quests will CLEARLY state that the content needs to grant experience. If the quest does not state that it requires experience then you can stay at your current level. This means that a lot of the old dungeon quests can be done solo by level 70s. For the raid quests that require XP, only the players on the quest need to mentor, other players can join in and help out and stay at level 70, this will help make the raid much smoother! You can find a guide to mentoring here.
Use your alts!
Quests can be completed on ANY character on that region. If you have a low level alt that needs some XP then maybe do some of quests using them; Instant adventure, Zone events and Rift Closing are particularly good for grabbing a bit of XP for an alt while completing quests.
Random Expert Dungeon or Warfront Victory – Choose between completing a random expert dungeon or winning a warfront.
Daily Dungeon Quests
13
Dungeon quests will generally ask you to complete a specific dungeon, to complete a random dungeon using the LFG system, or to kill a specific boss in a specific way. Be sure to check if the quest requires Standard or Expert mode, you can change the mode by right clicking your portrait and selecting Dungeon difficulty. You need to be the group leader to do this. You do NOT need to mentor down unless the quest specifies that you need to get XP from the kill. You can find a full list of Dungeon entrances here.
Don’t Stand In Fire – Lantern Hook – Expert
Kill the second boss, Pyromancer Cortilnald, without standing in the red circles of fire. The damage from the fire is called Scaldflesh Ash.
Finding Krass – This is a reference to the Krasstastrophe puzzle found in the Nightmare Coast Expert Dungeon.
The puzzle is 4 separate levers that make 4 small platforms appear for a short time. Someone needs to stand on each of the small platforms.
Note that with a full group of 5 people you can have 4 players on the levers and pull them all at once so the jumper just jumps from one platform to the next!
You need at least 2 people to do the quest as the platforms will only be there while the lever is being pulled.
When each of the platforms has been stood on, you then pull the lever near the cave exit to stop the waves, and go out of the cave to loot the chest. If the lever at the top doesn’t appear then you have likely missed a platform.
Ballroom Dancing – This quest can only be done in the Nightmare Tide expert version of Gyel Fortress (The Intrepid level 70 version will not work). On the last boss, be sure not to get hit by any of the bad stuff. You will want to bring a friend along to agro the boss and keep her away from you so you don’t get hit by the big red bubble. Staying out of the fight (on the elevator or on the bridges) will mean you don’t get credit, you need to be on the circular platform with the boss.
Can I solo it at 70? – It is easiest to have a friend help by keeping the boss away from you. You can also complete this solo using a combat pet to keep to agro on the boss.
Entrance – Goboro Reef – /setwaypoint 3221 6170
Temple of Ananke – Standard
Can I solo it at 70? – You will need a full group of 5 players, this is a level 70 dungeon! – Note: A very well geared level 70 may be able to solo this.
Make sure you WAIT after the last boss for the roleplay to finish so your quest is credited properly.
Chronicles can be run every day and can all be soloed at level 70. Chronicles are accessed using [ J ] or the activities menu in the bottom left.
When doing chronicles make sure you are hunting for artifacts and use your quantum/omen sight to get the twisted ones too, a lot of these artifacts are still quite rare and may be worth a lot on the Auction House!
Ceremony of Attunement – You can skip the Attunement roleplay (select the ‘I’ve done this before’ option). The quest will credit after you finish the last boss and speak to the NPC to collect your reward. This is easy to solo at level 50+
Planebreaker Bastion – Complete the Chronicle, Planebreaker Bastion: Aftermath. This is easy to solo at level 60+
Infernal Dawn Laethys – Complete the Chronicle, Infernal Dawn Laethys
Players who kill Laethys too quickly may bug out the boss and break the instance – Kill it slowly and allow it to phase to second form at around 25% health. This is easy to solo at level 60+
Daily PVP Quests
4
PVP quests will have you winning a certain warfront, killing a certain amount of enemies or completing warfront objectives.
Random Warfront Victory – Win a random warfront.
Hostile Players – Kill players that grant favor x10.
Player Hunter – Kill players that grant favor x15.
Black Garden: Hunter – For this one, you don’t have to get the killing blow on a fang carrier (like you do for the similar cheevo) but the fang carrier does have to die from enemy damage rather than the ticking damage from the fang. Make sure you put lots of bleeds on the fang carrier and save your big hitting abilities for when they are at low health.
Daily Zone Event Quests
8
Zone event dailies are usually to complete a zone event in a specific zone. Remember you can use YARET to track zone events! You need to actively participate in each zone event.. close a rift, defeat invasions, help kill the boss or pick up an artifact. You need to stay in the zone til the event finishes to get credit. (Note: Active Participation is the intention)
Unstable events DO count towards these! You can tag an unstable event by picking up an unstable artifact (blue) or by catching an unstable artifact thief (with a net made by dreamweavers).
Leviathan Hunter – This event only pops on Tyrants Throne. You will need a group of people stood in the zone to make the event pop. This used to be 20 people, but was reduced on 17th April 2019. It seems to be a number between 5 and 10 now.
Zone Event lures – For some of the zones you can buy zone event lures (credits only at the moment), these can be used to pop a zone event in specific zones, though you will still need to meet population requirements. You can buy the zone event lures in the rift store under Rifts > Zone events. You can also ask in chat for peeps to use lures they already own.
Daily Planar Quests
5
All of the Planar Quests require you to be mentored to the correct level for the activity.

Make sure to choose a quiet shard/area to hunt in! If you want to try to make some money while hunting, you can find a list of PTW rare spots here. The Epics still go for good money.
