Announcement Event Guide - Descent into the Ancestral Ruins

​

STORYLINE

Hundreds of years ago, Duria’s capital, Kingshill, was ruled by a mad emperor known as Beregar the First. The heir of legendary King Heredur, Beregar, always strived to be the most important monarch in Dracania’s history. Beregar was born with the confidence to boldly endeavor the impossible… and no failure… no embarrassment would ever stop him. In his old age, the emperor decided to build a crypt for himself and his kin that would outshine even Heredur’s final resting place. A grave so splendid, it would consist of thousands upon thousands of floors, leading down all the way to the center of the world… Nobody knows if Beregar ever started, much less finished, this final project. But recently, a painting of this legendary “Ancestral Ruin” appeared in the church in Kingshill. Shortly thereafter, a rumor spread throughout the city. Some believe that the emperor’s grave can be entered through this very canvas. But so far, nobody who went inside has come back alive… Father Fidelis issued a clear warning to be careful with that painting. You need to talk with Father Fidelis to understand more. You will find some narrative texts in the event entrance in Kingshill, the entrance map to the Ancestral Ruins, and on floors 1-10 of the Ancestral Ruins. When combined, they will form an intriguing story.

Enhancing the Forgotten Glory Set​

​

During this event, you will have the chance to enhance your Forgotten Glory set:

• To craft the Ancestral Glory Ring, you will need:
  • Glory Ring,
  • Old Glory,
  • 100x Dragon Bones,
  • 100x Arcane Dragon Essence.
• To craft the Ancestral Glory Cloak, you will need:
  • Old Glory,
  • Glory Ring,
  • 100x Dragon Bones,
  • 100x Arcane Dragon Essence.

The Arcane Dragon Essence drops from all bosses in the Ancestral Ruins – on the 1st Floor, you will drop only 1x Arcane Dragon Essence, on the 2 nd Floor, you will drop 1x or 2x Arcane Dragon Essence, and so on, up to Floor 10th , where you will drop from 1 to 10 Arcane Dragon Essence (with the higher number being more likely).

​

Before enhancing the set, you must add the recipes to the workbench. Ancestral Glory Blueprint (Ring) and Ancestral Glory Blueprint (Cloak) have a chance to drop from the bosses in Ancestral Ruins, starting with the 1 st Floor.

​

The Ancestral Glory Ring's unique values are doubled (compared to the Glory Ring), and the Ancestral Glory Cloak has an additional 5000 damage in the unique values (compared to the Old Glory). The value from the cloak is added directly to the absolute modifier (this is NOT damage on this item, so the item's enchantments do not increase this value).


Ancestral Ruins - Floor by Floor

To enter the Ancestral Ruins floors, you simply need to locate the unlocked floors you have inside the main Ancestral Ruins map. In the beginning, you will have the 1st floor unlocked, but as you progress through the event and defeat the bosses of each dungeon, more floors will start unlocking for you.

​

Each floor is designed differently and requires you to perform a series of actions, from killing enemies to activating special Fire Platforms of Trial and other map mechanics.
