New Quest - Chorizite Veined Shield
Deven-Kenyon of SC: "Hi there Maggie! Hope you're well today! Just got a new shield with Ellen Ripley of SC (see pic below).

Instructions: Fastest way is to head to Shoushi and take the Shou-Zin 31.3S 72.6E villa portal to Renegade Stronghold 34.4S 64.8E. Go into the portal and keep left all the way to the end room where there's two doors under the platform. Enter either door and head down, again keeping left. The key sits on the table as it does for the other renegade quest this patch. Once you have your key, head to 31.3S 58.9E (or near by) in Sawato. There's three things in the chest, a refined chorizite chunk that you use mortar and pastle on (gives 20 chunks for potions), the shield and a note titled chorizite ore.

the shield casts Weave of Chorizite (raises magic def 2 points) and Force to Arms on you (decreases mana by 100) and it cannot be buffed/debuffed. Oh and the chest shoots flame bolt VI at ya. Got me for 32 points!"

Thanks also to Brimstone Sniper of TD and Alambra from WE

New Quest - Coarse Hide Shirt
Damien Saren of FF sends news of yet another new Renegade Dungeon! He reports: "Enak and I dived in and did this one up... Gab changed his message about an hour or so ago...

Royal Guard Gabrielle tells you, "Hail! You've arrived just in time! I've received word that Muldaveus and Niarltah have been spotted entering a stronghold in the north near Stonehold. We've sent some agents up to the location as a precautionary measure, but we need all the assistance that we can get."
Royal Guard Gabrielle tells you, "There have also been sightings of possible contact between the Burun and Renegades in Direlands swamp, near Fadsahil's shop in the A'mun desert, east of Yanshi heading toward Dryreach and the southern edge of the Blackmire Swamp."

Head up to Stonehold. The Renegade Stronghold is at 71.4N 28.6W. At the end is a boss Lugian named Ollar. He drops 6 or 7 keys that unlock a chest at the other end of the dungeon. In the chest are 3 items, a note, 100 distilled mana potions... and a coarse hide shirt."

New Quest - Lugian Horned Helm

Damien Sarin reports: "Gab changed his message a little over an hour ago...

Royal Guard Gabrielle tells you, "Your arrival is most fortunate! I've just been informed that the Renegades and the Burun are meeting as we speak. Our spies have found a location on the shore of the Prosper river between Lytelthorpe and Dryreach. There, in a makeshift camp, they have summoned a portal to a secluded citadel. We need you to go investigate this location and stop them from them from signing any treaties. Who knows what these Burun would be capable of with the Renegades assisting them."
Royal Guard Gabrielle tells you, "Before you run off! Remember that there are still Renegade activities near Stonehold, in the Direlands swamp, near Fadsahil's shop in the A'mun desert, east of Yanshi, and on the southern border of the Blackmire Swamp. These areas still need to be secured."

So Enak and I went in, then recruited Jeng Li-lo to help and we plowed through... The dungeon was the one we been waiting on all month...

Renegade Stronghold - 2.4S, 63.7E

Entrance is guarded by Buruns, Tumoroks and Lugians. Dungeon is like the other strongholds... except the mobs get harder the deeper you go. All the way to the end where Burun Shamans, Savages and others are with Titans and War Mongers. At the end all 3 of the big lore bosses were there: Lord Muldaveus for the lugian renegades, Niarltah for the tumoroks, and Torglukk for the buruns...

No type of attck worked on Torglukk, everything hit him for 0. We managed to get Muldaveus away from the pack and drop him, which is when this global went out.

Muldaveus' voice thunders over the land, "Niarltah, we must flee. The Isparians have overrun our position. Come Morgluuk and Torgluuk, we will take you to the safety of our hidden fortress. Fostok, Amanua, get in here and clean up this tripe!"

He left no corpse and when he died all the lore bosses disappeared.... and 2 new bosses spawned. War Chief Amanua and General Fostok. Fostok drops the lugian helm and Amanua drops the BP.

War Chief Amanua says, "You should have thought of the consequences of your action, Isparian."
War Chief Amanua says, "Mighty spirits watch over my soul. What hope have you to penetrate their protection?"
Majhnoon has struck a mortal blow to Fostok. As the Lugian General falls to the ground motionless, his helmet falls from his head.
Majhnoon has struck a mortal blow to Amanua. As the Tumerok War Chief falls to the ground motionless, his armor snaps free.

Timer: 28 days

Thanks also to Deven-Kenyon of SC, Pk-Rage of SC, Darunia Revived of WE, Mykell of FF, Evil Elvis of HG, Mrs Smiles of WE!

Niarltah's voice echoes over the land, "Muldaveus, we must flee. The Isparians have overrun our position. Come Morgluuk and Torgluuk, we will take you to the safety of our hidden fortress. Amanua, Fostok, get in here and clean up this tripe!"

Deven-Kenyon adds these directions: fastest way to get there is go to Rith, take the Lytelthorpe Portal 9.54N 60.0E and then the riverbend cottages at 2.2N, 50.4E short run to 2.3S 63.7E.

When you land inside, head north, open the door, head east, keep going to the second door, then go west to yet another door, north and there's yet another door. Continue west, hook a left (south) when you come to the wall, follow that to another door, then two more doors north and west, then go s/w/e/e to yet another door lol, and that leads you to the main room where the two boss's are. Should note these guys aren't very melee/missile friendly. it seems all the mages get the kills. not sure what type of damage they're hitting for but my UA was getting 6's and 10's, my archer 20's and 50 crits :/ so best to bring a mage friend of you wanna take these guys down.

New Quest - Gemstone Lockpick!

Text: A Message from Morgluuk

A report from Deven-Kenyon of SC: "The drop is safe to buff, take the west passage at the T and keep to the left side of the wall all the way down. There's a key at the bottom. Portal recall and take the Right passage this time, keep on the right side of the wall all the way down. This side deviates in that there's a hole in the floor. Keep going down to the chest and use the key. Inside there's a ring, lockpick, and lore. One note is called gems, one's a fetid note that needs to be brought to the Aun in Arwic." Thanks also to Thor Azoroth of TD!

Sucamarto of LC poses by the Burun Mud-packed Chest.

New Dryreach Rumor
Hinder of FF reports: Hi Maggie! I ran to Dryreach today for the heck of it, and after jumping over the wall, I went to the barkeep. From him I brought a blue piece of parchment called "Skeleton Raids." Love the site!"

Note: This rumor is believed to be for the Crown of Bone introduced during The Madness of Men. Unknown when introduced into the game.

Sylphia Brightstarr of TD reports: The layouts of the new dungeons mirror existing ones. "The Olthoi Warrior Nest is a copy of the Soldier Nest, the Crumbling Empyrean Mansion (workers) is a copy of the Eviscerator Lair, and I have been told that the Mutilator Tunnels is a copy of the Empyrean Grotto (legionary pincer). The spawns are apparently in the same locations, in the same number, with the same timers on respawn, though your starting location is different from that of the “original” dungeons. (For example the Worker one starts down what would be the first door on the right in the Evis dungeon). For those familiar with the layouts of the old dungeons, that should make it easier to navigate these new ones.

New Pincer Rewards!
