- The gold loot in the Deep Marsh will be significantly reduced to fit how easy it has become in today's Arlor.
- A "Locked Zodias Crate" can be looted from Elite Zodias bosses.
- The "Massive Locked Zodias Crate" can be looted from Elite Ekenta, Elite Mecharydon and Elite Rahabkor.
- Locked Zodias Crates contains Mythic Level 81 Equipment, Zodias Faction, Arcanite and Mythic Pet Eggs, Gold, Platinum, Elixirs, and standard equipment.
- Chance for equipment loot from Elite Bosses is comparatively higher than the drop rates in the 'normal' Zodias campaign.
