Dragon Hunts
|
Dragon Hunts are special player-vs-environment private instances that were introduced as part of Module 23: Dragonslayer.
Dragon Tiers
Dragon Hunts come in three tiers: Baby Dragons, Adult Dragons, and Ancient Dragons.
Baby Dragons are unlocked upon completing the first quest in the Dragonslayer Campaign, and must be completed by a single player.
Upon defeating two Baby Dragons, the character unlocks Adult Dragons. Adult Dragons are more challenging than their Baby counterpart, featuring additional attacks and higher damage and health. Parties of up to three players can queue for Adult Dragons.
Upon reaching Rank 15 in the Dragonslayer campaign (obtained by defeating 15 Baby and Adult Dragons in total), the character unlocks Ancient Dragons. Ancient Dragons are the most challenging dragons, and feature significantly more attacks, higher damage, and higher health than Adult Dragons. Parties of up to five players can queue for Ancient Dragons, and the recommended party makeup is 1 Tank, 1 Healer, and 3 DPS.
Dragon Colors
Dragons come in five different colors, one of which is selected randomly upon each instance creation. The five colors are: Black Dragons, Blue Dragons, Green Dragons, Red Dragons, and White Dragons. Each dragon features a distinct set of attacks, with some overlap, as well as a distinct elemental damage type.
TABLE INCOMPLETE, ATTACKS NEEDED
| Dragon Type | Elemental Damage | Ancient Dragon Attacks |
|---|---|---|
| Black Dragons | Acid | Acid AoE pools Fling (bite attack targeting the aggro-holder) |
| Blue Dragons | Lightning | Lightning AoE pools |
| Green Dragons | Poison | Acid AoE pools |
| Red Dragons | Fire | Fire AoE pools Fling (bite attack targeting the aggro-holder) |
| White Dragons | Ice | Ice AoE pools Fling (bite attack targeting the aggro-holder) |
Hunt Modifiers
Players have the option to increase the difficulty of a Dragon Hunt by adding Hunt Modifiers, often called Mods, in the starting area. When Hunt Modifiers are used, players receive additional rewards upon completion of the Hunt. Up to 3 Modifiers can be used on a single Ancient Dragons, and it is recommended that players only use Modifiers at Rank 3 which guarantees rewards. Hunt Modifiers have 4 tiers: Easy, Medium, Hard and Extreme.
