SOURCES & METHODOLOGY
Sources & verification
Every schedule has a region, a source, and a date. Here is what this timer knows—and what it cannot know.
Evidence, with dates
Where the schedule comes from
Official NC sources support the Taiwan and Korea configurations below. Reviewed on . Reviewing an announcement confirms what it documents; it does not verify today's live server or portal status.
| Source | Applies to | Source date | What it supports |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taiwan schedule update | Taiwan | Effective 3 Dec 2025 | 02:00, 05:00, 08:00 and 11:00, continuing every three hours. Configured in Asia/Taipei. |
| Korea schedule update | Korea | Effective 3 Dec 2025 | The same service-clock hours and three-hour cycle. Configured independently in Asia/Seoul. |
| NC update announcement | Korea update context | 3 Dec 2025 | Independent official confirmation of the change from a four-hour to a three-hour cycle. |
| Taiwan Spacetime Rift guide | Taiwan | Page displays 17 Sep 2026 | A 15-minute portal entry window. This duration is not used to infer live portal status. |
| Korea historical entry update | Korea, historical | 26 Nov 2025 | Level 45 eligibility, 10-minute entry and a one-hour stay as documented then; not treated as current universal rules. |
What differs, and what is unknown
The Taiwan guide's 15 minutes and the older Korea patch's 10 minutes concern different services and dates. We preserve that distinction instead of choosing one duration for everyone. Neither duration controls this site's countdown.
Global remains unverified. Third-party timers and community observations can help identify questions to investigate, but they are not official schedule evidence. No Taiwan or Korea configuration is automatically applied to Global.
Live portal availability, capacity, maintenance and later in-game changes are unknown to this site. Your device clock also affects the displayed countdown.
Preferences and privacy
Your selected service and display time zone are saved in this browser when storage is available. Sound reminders are opt-in and last only for this page session. We use no analytics scripts, accounts or tracking cookies. Your device clock is the timer’s clock.
If a rule appears to have changed, consult the linked official notices and the current information in your game. Follow your service's current instructions if they differ from this site's published schedule.
How to read these times
Each supported service has its own time zone. The timer and schedule use the same configured rules, and local times are conversions of those scheduled instants. A local date can differ from the service date, so the full schedule includes both.
Check the next scheduled rift, or compare seven days of server and local times.
This is an independent fan tool, unaffiliated with NC or AION 2. If an in-game notice disagrees with this page, follow the notice. Rule changes should be checked against a dated official source before a schedule is updated.
