Epic

 * The monsters for this Challenge are meant for very experienced players. You must be level 20 or higher to enter this Challenge.
 * Epic Challenges offer alternate rewards that can upgrade Challenge loot into its Epic version.
 * Though the challenge is called "epic" and offers epic-level rewards. Thats about where the comparison to other epic quests stop. Challenges do not feature epic difficulty. Examples: No monsters posses Epic ward, traps do not deal as much damage as other epic quests, their are no repeat timers, shrines reset, re-entry is allowed (within 3 minutes), epic fragments and tokens do not drop, and other non-epic rules are present. They are essentially Normal difficulty, with some tweaks to make them more challenging.
 * The main technical differences are enemies gain a lot more hitpoints, and deathblock when compared to the lvl20 version of the same challenge.

The Dragons Hoard

 * The Spectral Dragon, Auraxyllon, lurks somewhere inside his extraplanar palace, protecting his vast collection of crystals.
 * Raid the palace with the Kobold Miners Union and extract as many crystals as possible before the time runs out
 * The deeper into the palace you delve, the more crystals you can find - but watch out! Auraxyllon is somewhere in the palace lying in wait for intruders.

Quick Start Guide

 * 1) Use the Kobold Miners to collect crystals from the Dragon's hoard before time runs out!
 * 2) Protect your kobold workers from monster attacks and help your kobolds reach the Foreman with their crystal payloads!
 * 3) Barter crystals with the Time Foreman to extend your time and achieve even better results!

Kobold Miners

 * Lead the Kobold Miners to crystals by laying down Incense Torches to form a path.
 * Tip: Healing Torches work like regular torches, plus they also heal Kobold Miners who are near them.
 * The kobolds will collect crystals and take them back to the Foreman near the entrance.
 * Tip: Barrels increase how many crystals one Kobold can carry. Place Barrels in the torch path and Kobolds will pick them up and equip them. A Kobold with multiple barrels will make his best effort to fill the barrels before returning to the Foreman.
 * Monsters may attack the Kobolds while they’re working, causing the Kobolds to panic and run in circles.
 * Help the Kobolds return to the Foreman to unload their crystals so they can go back to collect more!
 * Tip: Place Teleporters near Kobolds who are loaded with crystals. Kobolds will use Teleporters to instantly travel back to the Foreman.
 * Kobolds drop soulstones when they die, which you can return to the Foreman to resurrect. But note that hiring more Kobolds is cheap, while resurrecting Kobolds is expensive!

The Foreman

 * Help the Kobolds return to the Foreman to unload their crystals so they can go back to collect more!
 * The Foreman can also sell you additional Kobold Miners, Incense Torches, Healing Torches, Barrels, and Teleporters, as well as various useful items from the DDO Store.
 * Monsters may also attack and kill the Foreman. A dead Foreman can’t sell you supplies!
 * Tourist Tonic can be purchased from the DDO Store. It will return you to the Time Foreman instantly.

Crystals

 * Green crystals are turned in by Kobolds to meet the quota, and increase your score!
 * Purple Crystals are worth 10 of the Green Crystals. But be careful – Purple Crystals tend to explode if left alone for too long.
 * You can use crystals to buy supplies from the Foreman. Remember that this subtracts from your quota.
 * Rooms deeper in the palace tend to have more crystals, but at the risk of encountering the Dragon!
