General
Crushbone has received a significant update!
While the elves of Faydark were distracted with politics and intrigue, Clan Crushbone has been ceaselessly fortifying and multiplying its army.
The inhabitants of Faydark seek aid to quell the iron fist of Emperor Crush and the threat of open war.
Let alone its invaluable nostalgia, this early game dungeon features plenty of fresh loot and new enemies for adventurers to experience from levels 4 through 22.
The Lair of the Splitpaw has received a significant update!
Beginning with enemies from levels 25-28 at the entrance, the dungeon ramps through five difficulty bands.
In the highest level areas of the zone, standard enemies are levels 40-42. In each of these areas, named enemies can somewhat exceed the levels of the standard population.
New rare spawns have been added, along with new and improved equipment drops. Rare spawn rates and equipment drop rates have also been substantially increased.
Expect to see guaranteed rare spawns in the lowest level areas of the dungeons, decreasing gradually until the highest level areas.
Named enemies will still appear very frequently even at the end of the dungeon!
