Events
There are dozens of different events that may spawn as you’re exploring the Portal Knights Islands. The first even will occur once your reach the fourth island. After that new events will pop up every 6 hours.
Most events last for 6 hours but some are shorter and some are longer. Seasonal events can last for an entire holiday season. When an event spawns it will always be 2 levels above your current character level. Events will always pose a challenge but have good rewards.
There are different kinds of events that will spawn, including invasions, recipes, find the chest and seasonal events. I’ll list them all below with their objectives and rewards.
