Unsurprisingly, our new Underdark expansion focuses chiefly on the struggle raging beneath the surface of Faerûn. But it also contains something for the many guilds working hard to develop their strongholds in the form of some additional space and a brand new structure.
The North Gate
The new North Gate plot is located in a walled courtyard at the edge of the existing map, at the base of the West Dragon Hills. The plot is a production plot that becomes available at Guild Rank 9 and allows construction of an additional resource producing structure (lumberyard, farm, mine, or quarry), or an additional warehouse. For small guilds trying to hurry production, this allows faster production of necessary base resources. For more advanced guilds, the option to build a warehouse and increase the coffer capacity will likely be more appealing.
Underdark Tower
The new expansion also features a new structure: the Underdark Tower. This PvP structure can be built on any of the available tower plots on the map. It provides a welcome healing option alongside the existing archer and sorcerer towers.
The tower is visually striking, too, as it is made up of an eruption of fungi from the deepest reaches of the Underdark. Like other PvP structures, the tower has 10 ranks, and improves as it is developed.
The tower generates potent healing mushrooms and each player can only carry one at a time. Each mushroom is a powerful consumable that can be used in PvP and heals a substantial portion of the player’s health. At rank 1, the tower produces 3 mushrooms which respawn 3 minutes after they’re picked up. At rank 3, the respawn time drops to 2 minutes. At rank 5, the tower releases a healing spore cloud whenever an enemy dies within range of the tower. At each other rank, the tower produces an extra mushroom, to a total of 10 available mushrooms at rank 10.
Each tower therefore provides a guild with a perfect rally point and a potent boost to survivability in PvP. Opposing guilds will be in awe of the weird fungal formations looming over the battlefield!
