Time-Gates

This article is designed to list time-gates that you may encounter during certain tasks, so that you can them in advance whenever possible, rather than needing to skip and return later.

Time-gates are divided into task tiers, including:

• a description of the time-gate
• the tasks which depend on those time-gates
• the prerequisite skills or tasks needed before you can start working on the time-gate
  • (Prerequisites refer to hard limitations before the time-gate can be started; there may be further requirements to complete the time-gate. Normal limitations related to skilling, questing, and other unlocks also apply to time-gate prerequisites, so do not train any skills, complete any quests, or otherwise unlock anything unless allowed by an active task)
• roughly how long the time-gate will take assuming you haven't started when the task rolls around
