What a fail. For some reason I thought this was going to be content the player base can farm nice stuff while having a challenge.The rewards are pictures and words. No mention of anything that drops. But you do have a new crate to sell, congrats.

Completely disappointed. Goodbye

I disagree, the game needed a difficult area, everything seems very simple when you have kraken and star beast. Even though it's not a farming area, still looks cool and has great aps and titles, thanks!

[caabarader]

Like bio set, are the cosmic and shadow beast sets having proc? Could we get a preview of it? I also suggest adding their "proc" into the game items, bio set info is just available in forum. Thx.

[trueido]

looks amazing, nice work STS I am thrilled to play already

[Marosok]

Innovative, thanks!

[Wortwechsel]

Looks Cool . Thumbs Up

[Maisakurajima]

Some hard content for once, you usually say things are hard, hopefully this time it actually is, when will the event drop? And from what event is Imelda, halloween?

hopefully we cant use the boss ability in all maps, please make it only work in this map

[Chessbunny]

I will look into getting the proc info added to the Beast sets in-game.

[Antignom]

are there any drops in the dungeon or only the aps title and badges?

[|Ares|]

My only question is if did you guys test it yourselves that if it's relatively possible to complete that dungeon with 20 debuffs (curses) on and that you're just not throwing that content at us thinking that we'll figure it out?

[Chessbunny]

The loot in the Cursed dungeon is the same as the normal Elder Woods dungeons.

Doing 20 stacking curses right now, would be extremely, extremely difficult.

[Apocalyptis]

Are the new jewels stackable?

[Chessbunny]

Are the new jewels stackable?

Indeed, they are.

Theres always someone somewhere that has SOMETHING to complain about lmao. Not every single content added to the game has to fill your dopamine release of getting an item you can inflate in price

[nmircheva]

I hope it’s considered class differences and not banish all rogues from overall aps lb …. lol

The new elixirs help out a lot in this respect! I enjoyed the Rogue the most for the curse content!

[MarwanSs96]

What the level of new gems

[dmqp]

Is cursed woods it elite content? Having elite damage awaken working would be handy.
Does grohl's spore sky fall damage scale with player's damage/ awaken?
Is shadow & cosmic set like bio set, each piece with dot? If so, what is the difference?

[Monica Santos]

I hope all classes are equal in this new map, because war and mage always have an advantage because they have a shield, rg is always last because they don't have protection!

The Mythic Cursed Elder Woods dungeons aren't considered elites. The monsters in the cursed dungeon have their own unique and increased stats than you will find in other Elder Woods dungeons. The sets differ in the type of elemental damage and resistances they provide. They are identical outside of that.

[Rauigriu]

Looking at the roadmap, are both the new Cursed Elder Woods area and the Item Awakening event starting tomorrow Oct. 10?

[Apocalyptis]

Indeed, they are.

What’s the point of goblin gloomstone then? Shouldn’t there be at least some difference when only first 3 gloomstones stack?

[Hercules]

I loved the fact that it was challenging. A little sad because the bio came out early and it will lose its value xd. But oh well, I'm counting the hours to start with the challenges :D.

And thanks for the Nature Damage jewelry, just what I need to put on my belt, ring and bracelet <3

[Hercules]

271638

I think the same, it should have some bonus and that should be something unique to those of us who have the 3 stones.

[Antignom]

please add awaking event too now with cursed dungeon

[Apocalyptis]

I think the same, it should have some bonus and that should be something unique to those of us who have the 3 stones.

At least would be fair to not make new jewels better, but only first 3 stackable as well.

[lethal]

when is awake event?

and can the new boss skill from hotbar be used in all maps? this would be not good

[Chessbunny]

At least would be fair to not make new jewels better, but only first 3 stackable as well.

We will consider buffing the Goblin Gloomstones due to their stacking restrictions.

[Juanmiguels]

So if you die once you have to redo the map? Is the point to stack the debuffs and go start to finish without needing to revive?

[Chessbunny]

Which maps do you believe it wouldn't be good in and why?

[Statsonly]

I didn't aee anything about shadow best and cosmic sets, did i miss that?👻

[Chessbunny]

That's correct, if you die, you must redo the map. It's a rather short dungeon though! There is also a timer counting down, you must complete the dungeon before the timer runs out.

[Tzuki]

Wow, what a nice new feature. I'll be looking for this. By the way, is awakening is also the same day when this feature release??

[Juanmiguels]

That's correct, if you die, you must redo the map. It's a rather short dungeon though! There is also a timer counting down, you must complete the dungeon before the timer runs out.

And all of the elixirs are for plat purchase only?

[lethal]

its just too much, adding a skill to hotbar is just too much

[Ooozer]

That's correct, if you die, you must redo the map. It's a rather short dungeon though! There is also a timer counting down, you must complete the dungeon before the timer runs out.

What can i say, only the end game players would run it and get the aps, rest would need 5-6 more years to do it. I hope this dungen be so hard, that noone could get the aps, but hey it s arcane legends, and it s build for top players.

[Hercules]

We will consider buffing the Goblin Gloomstones due to their stacking restrictions.
Mr. Chessbunny please Don't forget the Thronestones too

[Chessbunny]

And all of the elixirs are for plat purchase only?

I'm sure there will be plenty on sale for gold for auctions! If you're talking about the new elixirs, they only provide a buff if you are in the Mythic Cursed Elder Woods dungeons, you can get this with Corruption Coins from the Elder Woods token vendor.

[Statsonly]

I hope this "campaign" is as hard as y'all say and don't see rogues with 67k dps with all the titles and badges by sunday afternoon. #respectfully

That is my hope as well!

[Read]

I truly hope that this is the case with the Rogue class. Fun meaning hopefully not challenging to the point of near death with every run having no defensive utility whatsoever other than a high dodge chance which is negated by a random mob one shotting :/. As of right now even Elite Indigo with end game gear is manageable but painful (one shots) when no pet AA's for defense/damage reduction.

[trueido]

Can you provide the list of all the curses?
Also, since many of us have huge amount of damage, I wanna know if you can provide some info about the "damage reflection" curse, whats the %? thanks!

[Kairihearts]

The loot in the Cursed dungeon is the same as the normal Elder Woods dungeons.

You say the loot is the same but surely the drop rates would be increased seeing as the content is very hard right?

[Kairihearts]

Erm excuse yourself I'd be more worried about seeing wars with the new badges and title the following day it's released

Finally some solo content and it looks pretty fun. Looking forward to trying this out once I get decent gear.

I would like to suggest a small chance at item drops (special gems, maybe mythic gear) if someone completes a round with a certain number of curses. Or maybe even the more curses you have on, the higher your chances are of looting something.

[Elogirl]

Whats with awakening Event? On the roadmap it shows its before cursed elder woods event

[Youraveragemage]

Can we get 4 more hotbars since we are getting even more things to put into them?
Barely got enough as it is now with all the different sets and pets.

[Megatr0n]

are we allowed to die? does the map get reset?

Is this a bad time and place to bring up the issue of Rogues having no shield/defense for PVE? Legitimate concern btw, considering the debuffs as curses on top of one shots with mobs and cooldowns on pet AA timers. Sounds quite concerning for Rogues yeah? I'm assuming the strategy involved in completing these maps will be way different with and without defensive attributes in the kit
