The Eveningstar Challenge Pack offers 6 challenges in three dungeons located within/near the village of Eveningstar.

This pack is available for free to VIP. It is also included in the pre-order collector's edition and the standard edition of MotU; it is not part of the base edition. It can be also purchased separately in DDO Store for 695 DP.

Challenges
Dryad Grove challenges are accessible from Eveningstar, in the western section, near the exit to the King's Forest. Ruined Keep is in the northeastern part of Eveningstar. Underdark Arena is accessible from the Eveningstar Cavern.

Completing These challenges gives Purple Dragon Knight Favor.

Note: All reward ingredients gathered from these challenges are now Bound to Account (BtA) as of update 19, and are now similar to those in Vaults of the Artificers challenge pack.

Rewards
You can exchange the challenge ingredients for loot by the vendors in Eveningstar, southwest of the main square. ML16, ML20, and ML24 reward items are available. Cloaks were added with Update 15. See Update 15 named items. Costs for level 20 and level 24 cloaks were drastically reduced with Update 19 Patch 2.

TIP: The above items can be fed to a Sentient Weapon, so farming the Challenges is a comparatively easy way to earn sXP. Since the price of the Cormyrean items is the same regardless of level, get the Level 24 version, which is worth 120 sXP (as opposed to 16 or 20 sXP you get from the lower ones).

Cormyrian items description (semi-random gen mechanic)
These reward items are similar to randomly generated items, though they might contain multiple enchantments and they can have more than simply a suffix and a prefix.
 * Despite their semi-randomly generated nature, L20 and L24 Cormyrian Weapons count as named items and accept sentience.
 * Note: You will also, rarely, find completed randomly generated named challenge items in the chests found in the challenges themselves. They can also drop after killing the dragon in the Underdark. The only advantage to the turn-ins is that you may select the item type.


 * Sub-ML24 versions generally lose additional enchantments, and thus very closely resemble lootgen items, though the throwers retain their spellplague effect.

Item Deconstruction
Items can be deconstructed by dragging them into the Barter Box and selecting "Cormyrian Armament Exchange". This destroys the item and returns a percentage of the purchase materials to you (37% - 46% has been observed).
