Wilderness · levels 21–30
Ashen Mines
The burned-out guild workings under Mount Ashfall, south of the mere and east of the Landing. Cinderhold, the guild's walled compound at the headframe, is the only safe ground; goblins hold the pit and the warcamp, kobolds tunnel the spoil, the old golems still walk the rails and Warchief Grazk sits before the Great Adit.

Its lair is at (25, 49) – the world map in the game marks it. A fight for three to five heroes; it returns 12–24 h after it falls. A hero 9 or more levels above it cannot hurt it. After 11 minutes of a fight it rages and hits four times as hard – and twice as hard again every minute after, up to 256 times. Its health is for four heroes and grows or shrinks 15% with every hero more or fewer fighting it (up to ten) – a hero counts once they have dealt 0.5% of the four heroes' health and stand no more than 8 levels below it.
The whole pile goes to the party – or the hero – that dealt the most damage; every hero credited with the kill shares 10 times a world boss's experience by damage and earns 30 raid points, and each of their guilds gains 300 reputation.
Gathering
7 nodesEach gather gives 1–3 of the material and now and then the tier's rare one; a node regrows after 5 minutes.
