 <\/p>\n

The Dark Delve<\/h2>\n

In the scorching desert surrounding Naga Wall<\/strong>, the Duergar entomb themselves in sand and rock, fiercely defending their precious mineral ores. Beneath the blistering dunes, they carve suffocating labyrinths where heat and silence press like a curse upon the living. It is said they no longer sleep, but instead enter a waking trance, listening to the tremors of the dark veins below.<\/p>\n

Traverse The Dark Delve<\/strong> to the underground Duergar Temple<\/strong> where the might of the Great Laduguer’s<\/strong> hammer reins supreme.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Player feedback<\/h2>\n

Let us know how you feel about this update by replying to the post on the forum. Was this cap raise too early? Have you not had long enough to enjoy the earlier dungeons? Is the new content too hard?<\/p>\n

An extension to The Dark Delve will be released at the end of Q2. In the meantime, we will be working to finish some side content and challenges. Your opinion matters and can help focus our future release schedules.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Happy Hunting, Arcadians!<\/strong><\/p>\n
