Ceremony
No. The Ceremony of Eternal Bonding cannot be held on the same day an application is submitted. The earliest slot that can be reserved will be 1:00 a.m. (PST) / 2:00 a.m. (PDT) on the following Friday.
If you wish to change the reservation time of your Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, you will need to cancel the current reservation and reschedule it.
Please be aware that when you cancel an established reservation date and time, only slots from Friday the following week onwards will be available to book. You will not be able to cancel and reschedule for an immediate time slot.
If you wish to reschedule your Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, ensure that you have first cancelled your original reservation and discarded the blank invitation in your possession. Please be aware that when you cancel an established reservation, you will not be able to reserve a new ceremony slot in the same week.
The earliest slot for you to hold your rescheduled ceremony, if available at the time of booking, will be from 1:00 a.m. (PST) / 2:00 a.m. (PDT) on the second Friday following your initially cancelled date.
To make a new reservation, speak to Etoinelle in the Sanctum of the Twelve. Regardless of the plan purchased, registration for rescheduled ceremonies will begin at 4:00 a.m. (PST) / 5:00 a.m. (PDT) on Friday of the same week as your cancelled date.
If your reservation coincides with planned maintenance, it will be treated as a postponement. Please reschedule your ceremony.
Partner
If you and your partner purchase wristlets for different plans, one associated with the less lavish plan will take precedence. The standard plan has the greatest priority, followed by gold, then platinum.
For example, if you purchase the promise of innocence (standard plan) and your partner purchases the promise of devotion (platinum plan), your Ceremony of Eternal Bonding will follow the standard plan.
Yes, you can.
Your eternal bond can be annulled after ten days have passed since your Ceremony of Eternal Bonding by speaking to the Sanctum acolyte in the East Shroud and selecting "Annul an existing eternal bond" to relinquish your eternity ring.
If you can't hold a ceremony with your new partner, it is possible that your previous eternal bond has not been correctly annulled. Please ensure that none of the criteria listed below apply to you or your partner.
If any apply, speak to the Sanctum acolyte in the East Shroud to relinquish your wristlet or ring, and abandon "The Ties that Bind."
