Lost Dungeons of Norrath

The Beginning

EverQuest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath (also known as LDoN) is the sixth expansion pack for the EverQuest MMORPG. It was made available as a digital download in September 2003. However, purchasers of the retail box version were rewarded with an in-game item (a magic bag), starting Sony's trend to include in-game items as incentive to purchase retail copies of their expansions.

What's Going On

Lost Dungeons of Norrath introduces broad-based instanced dungeons to Norrath, revolving around tales of the Wayfarers—an NPC adventuring organization. Players complete adventures for the Wayfarers in one of five different dungeon themes. Each dungeon theme has about ten different variations of the zone, and players can also chose the type and difficulty of their adventure. When the adventure is finished successfully, players are awarded Adventure Points which can be spent on items, spells, and "augments" at the Wayfarer camps.

Augments are introduced in Lost Dungeons of Norrath, and allow players to enhance existing items by adding an augment to them. Existing items in the game have generally only a single augment slot, so only one augment can be added. Items purchased at the Wayfarer camps occasionally have up to three slots available to augment.

In addition to group adventuring, the Wayfarer camps also offer raid content, in which multiple groups can challenge difficult high-end content.

What's New

Introducing Augments and Slotted armor. Each Wayfarer camp has several different instanced dungeons along a theme, each with normal and hard mode. Raid variations for each theme. Contents [hide]
