The Maven's Crucible is a boss arena where players fight multiple captured bosses simultaneously under the observation of The Maven. Players enter the crucible using a region-specific Maven's Invitation. Completing the Crucible awards players with 2 skill points for their Atlas passive skill tree in the same region as the invitation. The Crucible also provides The Maven's Gift which allows players to assign their skillpoints.
The Maven's Crucible is an arena that contains all of the captured bosses within that region. Players must fight and defeat all the bosses simultaneously in order to win the battle. The final Crucible that contains 10 bosses is repeatable, similar to spawning Conquerors and Sirus.
Atlas invitations have several different spawn patterns, including releasing monsters in pairs, on a timer, or all at once.
Endgame invitations spawn 2 monsters at once, then the other 2 after 20 seconds or if any are killed early. The Feared will spawn 2 monsters initially then the remaining 3 after 20 seconds. This can be bypassed, spawning all five bosses at once by rolling a specific modifier on these endgame invitations.
Upon completion, it grants the player access to The Maven's Gift which allows players to assign a skill point to their Atlas passive skill tree for each first clear of an Invitation.
The Crucible can only be accessed by using a Maven's Invitation in the Map Device.
The invitations for 3/4/5/6 bosses are guaranteed drop and quest items. Collecting 10 bosses for the FIRST time for that region also guaranteed to drop a rare invitation.
Tiers
Each Invitation (except The Uncharted Realms Invitations) has 5 tiers. The first 4 tiers are untradable quest items, and the 5th tier is a tradable misc map item.
The area level is scaled by the number of bosses, as shown in the table below
If you have already captured 10 bosses and haven't yet received an invitation, you should receive a guaranteed invitation drop upon your next boss kill within that region.
