11 Chaotic Upper Reshanta is a PvP field of the Abyss added with the Chapter 1. Lands of Sand and Snow update on July 1, 2026 on the Korean and Taiwanese service. It is built for characters who are not yet fully geared: entry is limited by item level and combat power, and there are no bosses or Artifacts to fight over. NCsoft's English description of the update says that item level and combat power are capped in the zone and that no bosses or Artifacts appear.

1516 As of October 7, 2026, NCsoft's posts for the global launch name the Abyss and the Spacetime Rifts as the places where the factions meet, but do not say which Abyss layers are open on the global servers, and no global first-party source mentions the Chapter 1 regions that arrived together with this zone on the Korean service. The game client's English map label for the zone matches the name used here.
