The short answer
Restore 100 Memories, craft the Ancient Gateway at the Arcanist’s Workbench, then activate it with a destination fragment. Prepare before inserting the fragment and use the timer displayed in your instance.
Before you start
- 100 Memories restored at the Heart of Orbis; discoveries still carried must be deposited.
- Arcanist’s Workbench, a crafted destination fragment, repaired gear and free inventory space.
Build the Gateway
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Cobblestone | 30 |
| Thorium Ingot | 10 |
| Essence of Life | 10 |
| Essence of the Void | 10 |

Select and activate the destination
Windrider Valley, DragonSpire Weald and The Dread Wade are documented fragment destinations. Craft the matching fragment at the Arcanist’s Workbench, place the Gateway, and interact with it using the fragment to open the portal.
These visits are temporary instances. Read the timer after entry and keep a return plan. A named destination does not guarantee identical terrain or loot across visits.
Pack before starting the clock
Kingy expedition checklist: repair equipment, empty nonessential inventory, bring food and light, and decide whether the trip is for exploration or a particular resource. Take a screenshot of the return portal’s surroundings so it is easier to recognise. Avoid spending the visit reorganising materials you could have stored at home.

Use current portal behaviour
| Problem or action | Current rule |
|---|---|
| Need to end an active portal | Update 6 added a close button; it is disabled while players remain in the destination. |
| Moved away from the Gateway | The destination should stay open and reconnect when you return to range. |
| Trying to add time indefinitely | Remaining time cannot exceed the instance’s starting allowance. |
| Destination did not save or closed early | Update 6 fixes cover both issues. Check the host build before repeating an old workaround. |

If the recipe is missing
Check restored Memories at the totem first, then the Arcanist’s Workbench. The Memory planner distinguishes recorded progress from discoveries still awaiting restoration. Do not confuse this Gateway with a named Teleporter used for travel around your persistent world.
