Editing Gilded Egg Rift

[[File:Gilded Egg Rift Banner.png|frameless|center|1500px]]

'''''Gilded Egg Rift''''' is part of the [[Easter Event 2026]]. Players collect [[Gilded Easter Eggs (2026)]] from eligible bosses and turn them in to the '''Easter Bunny''' to fill a '''global Rift Meter'''. Donations contribute to the same meter. When the meter reaches '''100%''', the '''Gilded Egg Rift''' opens after a '''30-second countdown''' at one of several world locations and begins spawning waves of '''Evil Chickens'''. Players who deal enough damage to the chickens can earn [[Diamond Coins]] and a variety of rewards, including the [[Evil Chick|Evil Chick (b)]] and [[Carrot Sword]].

== How it works ==
* Collect [[Gilded Easter Eggs (2026)]] from eligible bosses. Each listed boss always drops '''1''' egg.
* [[Gilded Easter Eggs (2026)]] are '''untradeable''' and '''stackable'''.
* Speak to the '''Easter Bunny''' at ::home and use '''Turn-in''' to hand in all eggs in your inventory.
* Use '''Check-meter''' to view the current '''Rift Meter''' progress in the '''Events''' interface.
* Each egg adds '''0.2%''' to the global meter. '''500 eggs''' fills the meter from 0% to 100%.
* Donations also add to the same global meter at '''$1 = 0.2%'''.
* When the meter reaches '''100%''', the server announces: ''"The Gilded Egg Rift will start in 30 seconds!"''
* If the meter goes over 100% while no rift is active, the extra progress carries over to the next cycle.
* If the meter reaches another full 100% while a rift is already active, the current rift is '''extended by 3 minutes''' instead of opening a second rift.
* A rift lasts '''3 minutes''' by default and can be extended up to a maximum of '''12 minutes'''.
* After a rift ends, there is a '''1 hour cooldown'''. Players can still turn in eggs or donate during the cooldown, and a full meter will automatically start the next rift once the cooldown expires.

== During the Rift ==
* The rift spawns '''4 Evil Chickens''' every '''20 seconds''' while it is active.
* Chickens continue to spawn on the wave timer even if earlier waves are still alive.
* Players must deal at least '''5B damage''' to an Evil Chicken to be eligible for its loot.
* This damage requirement is reset if the player '''dies''', '''teleports''', or otherwise '''leaves the rift area'''.
* When the timer expires, the rift stops spawning new chickens, but any chickens already spawned remain until they are killed.
* Clicking the rift while it is active will tell you '''how long it has remaining'''.
* When only '''1 minute''' remains, the server announces: ''"The Gilded Egg Rift has been weakened... only 1 minute remains!"''
