A thick layer of dust and cobwebs covers the floor and walls of the excavation. It seems less like a new project than one recently resumed.

Spoiler Warning: Spoiler material below this point!
Objectives
- Deliver the supplies to Derward
- Kill enough monsters to establish a safe route for future supplies – 30 total
What to Expect
- Gather your party before venturing forth mechanics
Tips and Misc
- No piking – all party members must be present at the end to finish the quest.
- Derward: "Before we can continue, we must make sure everyone can make it safely to this point."
- Derward will say the same thing if 30 monsters have not yet been killed. Everyone must gather at Derward after that quota is met.
- Useful elemental buffs:
- Acid
- Fire
- You do not need to explore the whole map – there are more than enough enemies to complete the quest if you follow the path straight down to Derward (by pushing "left" at every intersection).
- There are several glass spiders and glass spider queens – if not dealt with, they can quickly raise the alert level on you with their hatched eggs.
- The western portion of the map, beyond Derward, is blocked off (for this quest).
Bonus XP
- Aggression bonus: 26 or more monsters killed +10% Bonus.( ♣44 ♦78 ♥82 ♠86 )

- Conquest bonus: 41 or more monsters killed +25% Bonus.( ♣111 ♦195 ♥205 ♠215 )
- Notes: To get the Onslaught or Conquest bonus, you'll need to explore the side caverns as well, and kill virtually everything in the quest.
Loot
- Chests: None
- NPC rewards: None, until after completing the third quest in the Western Excavation.
