Time gates
Six time-gate pieces open one gate. A natural gate shows up about every three weeks outside events, and the window lasts 72 hours.

What the pages agree on
The first clear pays a champion unlock and a gold chest at area 50, then another gold chest at area 75. Free play gives a silver chest the first time you cross each 100 areas. Opening the same champion again raises the goals to 100 and 125. Skipping a gate drops those goals by 25. Unclaimed chests refund one piece each. When Mystra's Favor closes, the leftover converts. The wiki itself is unsure whether the natural cadence is three weeks or a month, and it says Event 2.0 may have tightened it. I keep the 'about three weeks' and the doubt in the same paragraph.
Weekend gates are the same system, not a separate champion shop.
