Dungeon of the Week

The Dungeon of the Week system places the spotlight on one dungeon each week and rewards the entire shard for working together to cleanse it.

Defeating monsters and bosses inside the active dungeon builds Dungeon Tiers, gradually increasing the dungeon's Tribute Tier and unlocking stronger bonuses for everyone adventuring there.

How It Works

* One dungeon is selected as the active Dungeon of the Week

* Objectives must be completed to advance the dungeon's Tribute Tier

* Progress is shared across the shard

* Higher tiers provide increasingly powerful dungeon bonuses

* The current dungeon, tier, bonuses, and progress can be viewed with [DOTW

Tribute Tiers

The Dungeon of the Week can progress through four Tribute Tiers.

Tier
Tier I
Tier II
Tier III
Tier IV

Several requirements must be reached before the next tier is unlocked.

Once Tier IV has been reached, the dungeon has achieved its maximum Tribute Tier for that week.

Dungeon Bonuses

As the Dungeon of the Week advances through its tiers, additional bonuses become available inside the active dungeon.

These bonuses may include:

* Increased Gold * Increased Damage * Increased Paragon Chance * Increased Dungeon Box Chance * Improved Champion Spawn activity * Access to the Dungeon Tribute Altar

The current values can always be viewed through the [DOTW] command.

Dungeon Tribute Altar

Upon reaching Tier II, the dungeon's Tribute Altar becomes active.

The altar can be found at the dungeon's boss area and is marked by glowing magical effects around the platform.

Players who approach within 20 tiles of the active altar receive the blessing associated with that dungeon.

A Dungeon Tribute Blessing:

* Lasts for 1 hour * Can be reclaimed throughout the active week * Cannot be refreshed while already active * Requires the player to leave the altar area and return after the blessing expires * Remains available at Tier II, Tier III, and Tier IV

Dungeon Blessings

Each Dungeon of the Week has its own unique Tribute Blessing.

Dungeon Blessing Effect
Decay Health Renewal +3 Hits every 5 seconds
Ash Stamina Renewal +3 Stamina every 5 seconds
Famine Mana Renewal +3 Mana every 5 seconds
Permafrost Frozen Might +10 Strength
Festerhives Hardened Carapace +5 to all Resistances
Obscure Obscure Insight +10 Intelligence
Torment Tormented Agility +10 Dexterity

Each blessing has its own unique buff icon and can be tracked through the player's buff bar.

Checking Progress

Use:

[DOTW

to open the Dungeon of the Week information window.

The window displays:

* Current Dungeon of the Week * Current Tribute Tier * Progress toward the next tier * Gold Bonus * Damage Bonus * Paragon Chance * Dungeon Box Chance * Champion Spawn status * Tribute Altar status * Current dungeon blessing * Remaining duration of your personal blessing

Weekly Reset

When a new Dungeon of the Week begins:

* Tribute Tier progress begins again * The previous dungeon's Tribute Altar is disabled * A new dungeon becomes the active weekly target

Any Tribute Blessing already claimed before the reset is allowed to finish its remaining duration normally.

Working Together

The Dungeon of the Week is a shard-wide progression system.

Every monster slain and every boss defeated contributes toward improving the dungeon for everyone.

The more the community cleanses the active dungeon, the stronger its rewards become.
