In-quest mechanics

Mysterious altars

A mysterious altar

The quests feature randomly spawning mysterious altars. Clicking the altar buffs your character and hirelings if they are ordered to use it. The buffs act like the classic ship buffs in that they cannot be dispelled, persist though rest, disappear on death/leaving quest, and have a 1-hour duration. Altars have a (?) minutes cooldown (per person) before they can be used again; all group members (including hirelings) can benefit from the effect at the same time. Also there is a lockbox near any altar containing ToEE Crafting ingredients.

Named items

• Updated list: see Update 56 named items.
• Original list: see Update 25 named items. Named items drop from this module do not follow traditional one item per one location rule.

Crafting

• Since update 56, ToEE Crafting is largely discontinued. Base items and ingredients no longer drop.

Rather than blabbing on, I'll skip right to the awesome part and give you five simple words: The Temple of Elemental Evil. Yep, we will be creating our own version of the original, classic Temple inside DDO. We’re very excited about adapting one of the most famous modules in Dungeons and Dragons history, and we hope you are too.

Yes, it makes us sad as well. Our estimates of the time it would take to run that pre-content was very low, and the development time estimates were so high we didn't feel that the additional play experience would be worth pushing the update out by months. Instead players will get right to the heart of the adventure. ~ The Temple is very large, and we want players to have a reason to explore it even on subsequent runs. We want to find a fun system to reward exploring the temple rather than just running the most efficient path to finish the quests, and plan on having some rewarding optional objectives that randomly spawn and give out good XP and treasure.

A much larger ramp up than the content you are used to. Our plan for end game folk who want hard content that promotes teamwork is giving that to them for the new content we are introducing.
