Challengers Banner

Challengers Banner is a banner-type object that affects raid timing rather than needing to be placed on Banner Stands. It can be purchased from the Elder after completing the Deep Plains Cave Adventure Journal Challenge.

Its effect is simple but powerful: each banner makes the Raid countdown tick 1 second faster every second. In practice, this means the more Challengers Banners you have, the faster the raid timer is reduced. The reduction stacks additively, so multiple banners directly increase the rate at which raids can occur.

A practical example from the game’s raid timing shows why this matters. On Often Raid Frequency, if you want a raid at least once every 10 minutes, you need 14 Challengers Banners. With the base timer tick plus the 14 banner bonuses, the countdown is reduced by 15 seconds per second, which is enough to offset the 150 minute maximum raid cooldown for that frequency over time.
