Events and Raids

Maze Event

There is not a lot of information on the events which can happen in the maze. The maze itself can shift making it difficult to navigate. In one event it seems you start by killing the four permarooted targets in the corners of the Maze (Crusher, Fleshless, Haze, Fallow) to get a Jagged Ice Key. You give this key to Grenrik the Addled (who can be disguised as multiple races such as gnome or drakkin), he then turns into a giant and attacks. If you lose agro he changes back to non-kos and you need to farm another key to try again.

There is another event that is possibly up instead, where you find "a royal guardian" and "a royal advisor" in the corners. If you kill all four at the same time "an unleashed icemass" becomes active and drops loot. There could be a 3rd and 4th event as well dealing with Ice Age or "the oblivious golem".

If anybody can give specifics on any event, please let me know on my Discord Channel.

Each version of the event yields one loot per completion, but the next event resets after about 30 minutes.

Quests and Missions

Return stuff to the Wraithguards

Quest giver: spirit of xyz
Requirements: none
Reward: Faction and 10x Vial of Gooey Black Gel

Whenever you kill any non-shade undead mob (like "a rotting Krithgar soldier") there is a chance that one of five spirits will spawn. Each spirit offers a different task to return an item that was lost. The five possible items are random drops from the shade mobs (like "a shadowblade of Zek"). The items can be prelooted. Once you have the task and the matching item, give the item to a Wraithguard in Valdeholm (Wraithguard Sergeant Thavin just outside Frostrcrypt works) to get your +50 Wraithguard Leadership and 10 vials. When used the vial gives a 3 hour buff which increases magic based spell damage and grants a 250dd melee proc against Shades.

The 5 types of the quest are:
