Combination of Tier 1 & Tier 2 Expert Dungeons into a single Expert tier!
What does this mean to you?
If you’re a level 50 player who regularly plays Tier 2 dungeons you now have
a total of 10 dungeons to adventure in! You’ll also find that we’ve
upped the difficulty of the previous Tier 1 dungeons to be comparable to Tier 2, but we’ve also
turned the dials up a bit higher on some encounters to keep things interesting with your flashy new gear we’ll talk about later.
Just getting started? Have no fear! If you’re level 50 and have some Tier 1 gear you should still try the new experts if you meet the requirements. If you’re super new or about to hit 50 well then you’re going to get to enjoy all the benefits – you won’t even know what you missed, grab a friend (old or new will do!) and explore a chronicle or four – we’ve got a brand new one waiting for you too in the River of Souls!
As we transition into talking about items you should know that any Tier 1 equipment you’re currently using will see an improvement from the item changes we’re about to dive into; however, these
items will never drop again – but you can find their pumped-up upgrades in the new Expert versions.
