What Zone Events can players actually trigger?

[BraveDecoy]

I know that most of the standard zone events are on timers; some are visible (Praetoria events, Brickstown escapes, etc) and some are not. (The Ghost Ship, original Issue 0 Giant Monsters like Jurrasik, etc)

 

I also know that some can be started by players in the zone, like the Council War Walker in Boomtown, summoning Caleb in Nerva, and the Kronos Titan appearing from the mission arc Crimson gives.

 

But what about things like invasions?  I've heard rumors about how the Rikti invade after a Lady Grey TF is completed, or Nemesis invasions may happen when the Pandora's Box final mission is completed.  Is there an official list of major events that players can force to start?

Rikti invade a random zone upon completion of the Lady Grey Task Force.

 

Zombies invade a random blue side zone upon completion of the Katie Hannon Task Force, and a random red side zone upon completion of the Virgil Tarikoss Strike Force.

 

Nemesis invades a random blue side zone upon completion of the fifth blue side Pandora's Box story arc, and a random red side zone upon completion of the fifth red side Pandora's Box story arc.

Basically, yes.  There is a listing of ALL zone events and you would need to read the description of each one to see if players can trigger it.

I think anytime a server goes down other than scheduled maintenance, it should trigger the Mapserver Invasion from April Fools on all the other servers... 😄

Killing scrapyarders in Sharkshead Isle will trigger a miner's strike with the Ghost of Scrapyard.   No cooldown or other requirement, so you can cycle this very quickly.

It was bad enough when it was just people and now zone events are getting triggered too!

There'a an easter egg event that can be triggered in Nova Praetoria with extremely specific timing.  I forget the exact numbers but it's something like kill 20 Seers and 100 PPD in 4 minutes, a Hamidon tentacle pops out of the forest on the horizon for a few seconds.  Supposedly there was supposed to be an actual Devouring Earth invasion of Nova Praetoria event that never got implemented and this is just a relic of that.

To clarify, both with the Rikti invasion and Zombie invasion:

You need to trigger them, AND have a good number of people (8-10) in the correct zone, in close proximity, with open sky above their head for the invasion to reach it's full end phase.
Otherwise the end bosses will not show up.
