Dark Dragon's Dungeon (T7 Quest!)

Happy Anniversary 16th L1.5!

We’ve made it to 16 years now, still here, still with plenty to do, but now, we’re rolling out even more with a new end game dungeon complete with a new twist and the quest for Tier 7. This dungeon’s second floor will be rolling out in the near future too to include further quest lines for Tier 8 and beyond. I’ll be making a full Anniversary Post soon with the mini game, donation event and more details, but first I wanted to give you guys the details on the new dungeon so you can hop right in and work together to grow stronger than ever before!

Dark Dragon's Dungeon

dark dragon's dungeon

This new dungeon can be found by teleporting to the Dark Dragon’s Scar on Mainland Aden and talking to the Aden Knight Captain and clicking the link to teleport inside. There is a catch about this dungeon though, all of the monsters here are empowered by a Darkness Aura that will prevent damage to them if it is not countered by the players nearby. Read about this aura system further below. The further you go into this dungeon the higher the aura levels are and the more player aura you’ll need to overpower their defense. On the first floor there are 9 new monsters and 2 new bosses, you’ll need to work together to hunt here, especially in the deeper parts, however the rewards and ultimately the quest to be become Tier 7 will depend on this!

New Aura Stat

The new Aura stat works different depending on if its on a monster or a player. Monsters with Aura have a resistance to player damage unless there are nearby players that can overpower its aura. For example if the mosnter has an Aura of 3, you’ll need 3 people with an Aura of 1 or 2 people with at least one of them having an Aura of 2. Basically nearby players can offset and overpower this Aura. There are also ways to increase your Aura stat as well including by becoming Tier 7 or higher.

Aura Emitters are enemies that emit an aura empowering their nearby allies. These enemies should always be killed first as often they emit very high levels of aura to protect their allies.

The Aura Block Animation is a dark shadowy effect that covers enemies as you attack them when their aura is higher than the nearby player aura total. If you see this, it means you are dealing zero damage to the enemy and should get some help to come closer.

New -aura command can be used to check your current aura level.
