Totems
Summary
A creeping threat is insidiously worming its way throughout Quill. Hags are placing mysterious Totems around Quill, making the Hobs go crazy and strip an area of its resources! As your Renown grows and spreads, so does their presence, like a disease. You can destroy these Totems by entering their associated rifts and defeating the various enemies within. Each rift needs to be completed before the Totem itself can be destroyed. Doing so will reward you with a slot machine of goods.
Totem Intro
Totems first appear when you reach Grandmaster Renown Tier 2. You will be given a task to Meet Marshtyt in The Twanging Gardens. After you clear the Cunning Plots blockage, upon entering Twanging Gardens, you will meet the Witchhunter who will explain what the Totems are. You then get to clear the one in that region. Totems will then start to appear on the map periodically. As you pass certain Renown Tiers, the Totems will spread to other Havens and become more powerful, creating 3 Rifts, then 4 Rifts, with more monster types at a higher level.
Totem Notes
You can find out where Totems are from Noticeboard requests, from What's Happening chat with villagers and in the Family Scheduler.
You can locate the rifts and Totem within a region by following the direction the blue energy particles streaming from each. Destroy a rift and weaken the Totem!
After defeating a Totem, you will get a slot machine you can stop for a shower of loot. The type of Loot and quality depends on the current Totem level and the picture you stop the slot machine on.
Family members over 18 years old can be sent to clear Totems if you equip them with a sword.
