Dreadspire Keep

Overview

Dreadspire Keep, home of The Master. The zone is targeted at max level with all 20 rares dropping gear for level 70s. A lot of the zone's base population in the common areas is not agro, but in the locked portions this changes. The multi-floor nature of the Keep can make it confusing to navigate via 2-D maps. At the zone in are two statues, one takes you out to Stoneroot Falls, the other into the Demiplane of Blood. The raid boss for the zone, Vule, has been moved from being open world to instanced. There are three zonewide rares:

Quests and Missions

AE Blockers

Quest giver: Ariahn Teller, Arturos, Irrissa the Seer, Ur-Koraag
Requirements: Tier 1 drops from Demiplane
Reward: reduction to zone AE in Demiplae

Each of the four tier 1 bosses in Demiplane drop 6 items which are turned in to an NPC in Dreadspire. The level of the Crimson Mist AE you take is reduced for each you do, and after all four it is completely removed. Additionally after each turn in the NPC will present you with a question with four answers. Your combination of answers will determine which title you get if you trigger the Mayong fight and which bonus loot is generated.

Arturos, Trainer of Bats
Takes the Congealed Blood of Redfang from the Wailing Sisters event.
Irrissa the Seer
Takes the Rune-Etched Stone from Zi-Thuuli of the Granite Claw.
Ur-Koraag
Takes the Shrunken Head from Hatchet.
Ariahn Teller
Takes the Sister's Handkerchief from the Wailing Sisters event.

With four questions and four answers each there are 256 possible combinations. However, one answer for each is "bad" and if selected will prevent you from triggering the Mayong fight at all leaving 81 valid combinations. Those are then sorted into 8 results. I'm not listing all 81, instead I'm showing a set of answers for each title/loot pairing.

Epic Augment

Quest giver: Eric Von Schnelling
Requirements: Epic 2.0
Reward: hidden augment to 2.0

The four tier 2 bosses in Demiplane can drop an Invocation for a class set. By turning the Invocation for your class in, while having your 2.0 equipped, your epic will gain an invisible augment which increases the stats (30 hp/mana, some regen, attack, and damage). Eric is a random spawn around the zone but frequently found in the dining room, can only be up at one location at a time.
