Dragons

General Info

Dragons are world bosses that spawn in a random order each day, generally 8 minutes after the hour at12am 5am, 9am, 4pm, 8pm server time.

After spawning, there is a 3 minute "group up" window where the dragons are immune to all attack, and players can prepare themselves (in Ember parlance the dragons "haven't landed yet").

Once on the ground the players have a set amount of time before the dragon flies off and the encounter is finished.

Dragons encounters are PVE and generally players cannot attack each other when a dragon is present (except in the case of Oundviklig where PVP is permitted)

Dragons do not drop loot directly, instead they award points to players based off participation (healing, attacking, buffing PC, etc.) These points can be spent at shops in Alderra.

Eldigen the Crimson Dragon

Divinity: Fire

Server message: A loud roar shakes the very core of the earth! It seems to be coming from <Location>!

Mechanics

Eldigen has 4 main attacks:

• The first is the standard melee attack or claws, dealing melee damage to the target. its affected by dodge rate, damage reduction and any divinity bonuses you have. as well as any dragonwall affixes.

• The second attack is a flame breath, this does devastating damage, especially to those not of Riva divinity. sometimes can even kill people from full health. This attack can be avoided by high wisdom, or lowered by divinity bonus, magic negation reduction, and dragon wall affixes.

• The 3rd attack is the tail slap. the dragon will lock the room so no one can flee. then around 4s later it will release it's tail attack. players caught without stamina will suffer 60% damage to their hit points and may be knocked backwards and hit again from recoil. players that saved at least 1 stamina when the tail swings take significantly less damage.

• The 4th attack is the squeeze. Eldigen will grab hold of you and squeeze you for 6 rounds. this attack is only lowered by magic negation and cannot be avoided. those caught without healing most likely hit the temple. And even then, sometimes the healing isn't enough.

Tips

• Eldigen sometimes takes flight. when flying, melee characters cannot hit the dragon. at that point it is a magic only boss. An enchanter may cast stoneskin on the dragon and it will crash back down a few moments later.

• Buffs like the enchanter's stone skin is also very useful for negating damage.

Droulknyr the Virulent Dragon

Divinity: Earth

Server message: A powerful explosion shakes the very core of the earth! It seems to be coming from <location>!

Mechanics

• Droulknyr will cast a poison bomb on a player that will explode after a short period. This can be prevented by casting remedy on the affected character.

• Droulkynyr will also let out a roar that drains mana from players. Make sure to have ample mana potions if you are a spell wielding class.

Tips

• It is recommended to have a Sorcerer to cast stoneskin on the party to reduce damage from physical attacks.
• Guardians can be useful in this fight as they can remove the poison bomb affect from players, removing some load from the main healer.

Oundviklig

Divinity: Neutral

Server message: The sky goes dark and a sinister laugh echos through the lands! It seems to be coming from <location>!

Mechanics

• Oundviklig is known as the "PVP dragon". Unlike other dragon encounters, players can attack and kill each other during this encounter.
• Oundviklig saps the players of their divinity, removing the positive and negative affects associated with them.
• Additionally, Oundviklig's reflective scales deal a portion of damage he receives back at the player.

Tips

Nereklon the Twilight

Divinity: Night

Server message: A dark rumble shakes the very core of the earth! It seems to be coming from <location>!

Mechanics

• Nereklon summons a group of shadow enemies that mirror player classes and races. killing these shadows are the only way to damage the dragon
