The Sacred Way
The Sacred Way is a PvP world for late-map players and the only place to get uber keys. One road runs south through six zones. You farm Ichor from the creatures that climb out of fissures, offer it at a shrine to raise an uber's Avatar, and forge the fragments Avatars drop into uber keys.
Getting in
- You need Prestige 2, level 102 (the same rule as the Netherite Mine).
- Use
/warp sacred, or the tile in/warp. - You arrive in the pavilion in the North Meadows, facing south down the road.
The six zones
The road runs north to south. Each zone is split from the next by a narrow neck.
| Zone | Name | What is there |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | North Meadows | Safe. The arrival pavilion and the Pavilion Vault. No PvP, no creatures. |
| 2 | Timber Village | PvP. Fissures with the weakest creatures. |
| 3 | Yurt Steppe | PvP. Fissures. |
| 4 | Crimson Grove | PvP. Fissures. Thanatos and Hephaestus casters start showing up here. |
| 5 | Pale Bazaar | PvP. Fissures. Three of the four Warden of the Ash bells. |
| 6 | Dark Reach | PvP. Fissures with the toughest creatures, the fourth Warden bell and the Netherite Shrine, where you raise Avatars. |
The further south you go, the tougher the creatures and the more Ichor they pay.
PvP and the safe meadow
- North Meadows is safe. Nobody in the meadow can hit or be hit by another player, and creatures stop chasing you when you step into it.
- Past the first neck, everyone can fight.
- A hit on the Sacred Way tags you for 20 seconds. While tagged you can't warp or switch servers off the Sacred Way. Walking back into the meadow always works.
- No flying, no elytra, no building and no breaking blocks. Beds are for show and you can't set a spawn point there.
What you can lose
Your gear is always safe. If you die on the Sacred Way you keep your whole inventory.
What is at risk is your haul: any Ichor or uber fragments you carry while you are south of the first neck.
- If you die past the first neck, your haul drops where you died. If another player killed you, they get 5 seconds to pick it up before anyone else can.
- Leaving past the first neck any other way drops your haul where you stand. That covers a warp,
/spawn,/home,/hub, switching servers and logging out. A warp asks first: use the same warp again within 10 seconds to go anyway. - A server restart or shutdown banks what everyone carries. You don't lose it.
- Ichor and fragments carried inside the meadow are safe: dying or leaving from there keeps them.
Banking at the Pavilion Vault
Walking back into the meadow banks everything you carry into your vault. You don't have to click anything.
The vault itself is the barrel on the north wall of the arrival pavilion, and it only opens while you stand in the meadow. From it you can:
- Take Ichor out to carry to the shrine: one offering's worth (100) at a time, or all that fits.
- Take fragments out to trade them. Left-click takes one, shift-click takes all that fit.
- Forge an uber key from 5 banked fragments of the same uber.
- Bank a single stack from your bag by clicking it, or bank everything at once.
Ichor you take out stays in your bag until you leave the meadow and come back, so you can withdraw an offering and walk it south. Remember that it is haul again the moment you cross the first neck.
The loop
- Farm fissures for Ichor. Kill the champion at the end of a fissure for a bigger burst.
- Walk it back to the meadow to bank it, or carry it straight to the shrine.
- Offer 100 Ichor at the Netherite Shrine to raise an Avatar. Each kill gives 1 fragment of that uber.
- Bank 5 fragments of one uber and forge its key at the vault.
- Use the key at that boss's altar to summon the uber boss.
The Warden of the Ash is a shared world boss you can wake with Ichor for a bigger payout. Uber keys and fragments trade like any other item, so you can also buy them from other players.
Quests
The Golden Toll quest line starts with Janus at the Sacred Way pavilion and opens at Prestige 2, level 102. The Unbound's first step also sends you here to kill Avatars. See Quest Lines.
