Dragonkin Vault

01Dragonkin Vault

Dragonkin vaults or vaults are special dungeons that can be found within the continent of Ashenfall. These vaults contain deadly traps, rats, goblins, and vault guardians. However, there are blueprint recipes and other rewards hidden in each vault in the form of a treasure chest in every vault. If a player dies inside a vault, a gravestone will be placed at the outside entrance. It should also be noted that all players will need to discover the locations of these vaults in order for them to appear on your map.

Resources

Vault resources vary by region, with some remaining static. Every vault contains the following resources:

• Chest
• Vault core - Three are typically available per vault, being placed near key progression points on pillars. These are obtained through interacting with a scenery objects. They are not collected from vault chests or monsters.
• Vault shard - Found within vault chests and dropped from vault monsters.

Regional variance example:

• Vertentis Kara - Since clay node is a primary resource in the region which hosts Vertentis Kara, clay nodes will be present in the vault.

Unique exceptions:

• Blurite ore node - Only found in Takla Kara, a vault located in Fractured Plains.

Recipes

Recipes can be learned within some dragonkin vaults. Typically, recipes are learned by interacting with dragonkin effigy.

03Journal

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

Hidden across Ashenfall are the Vaults, the ruined remains of dragonkin research. Each contains lost knowledge or riches, sealed away so that none but their jealous masters may possess them. Paranoid and wary of intrusion by the "lesser races", the Dragonkin of Ashenfall filled each of the vaults with an array of deadly traps and they created servitor guardians. Although time has whittled away at most of the mysteries, the cruel claws of entropy rending secrets to shreds, there still remain pieces of powerful knowledge that bold adventurers might be able to salvage.
