How long do the invasions last?

My "weak" characters are dying trying to get to the Artisan Trees coz there is an undead invasion going on. Is there a safe time to visit a town that is being "invaded"?

If the shard is doing the invasion it should pass pretty quickly. I had this same trouble the other day. I just went to do other stuff and then came back.

I always leave one character at Luna to check what city is under attack. This did fail once because it said Skara Brae was under attack. I logged into my character at the inn at Vesper and was immediately killed by a skeletal mare. I was able to run to the dock and gated my dead character out. And I gated the character back after rezing and was able to run back into the gate before anything attacked her. the next character I did the same thing but died twice trying to get my character out.

I always log my characters out at the inn or tavern in the city. So if you do that, you could always call out in chat and ask people to help by keeping it clear. Some people stayed in the area when they saw that I was trying to get my gift.

The town crier isnt very accurate, after a period of time he switches to 'all is quiet' even when theres one ongoing. The previous town can still be active when the next one hits, or at the very least still have spawns wandering around.

I just scope the town out first before logging anyone in to start doing the rounds, safest option.

The town Cryer in Brit says its all clear because he is referring to the 20th Anniv arc invasions. Walk back and forth a few times to see the city under this invasion. There is always one going on. The client I use, the old invasion all clear is in a smaller font.

They last an hour with a 5 min period before and after.
