The Draconic Awakening- Dragon Nest Hunting

The Umbrascale are building hidden nests across the Sosarian overland!

Maps to these hidden nests can be found in hidden chests in a dungeon where the umbrascale are attacking, traded for artifacts of the umbrascale at Brit Commons or found in a discovered nest. To decode the map you will need and a Decryption Cypher, crafted by a skilled cartographer. With the cypher in you back pack, double click the map and reveal the approximate co-ordinates.

Once decoded, anyone can read the map, but you will require a shovel or pickaxe in your backpack to dig it up. There are five levels of map, the difficulty off which affects digging precision.

  • A Fledgling Dragon Nest
  • A Lesser Dragon Nest
  • A Greater Dragon Nest
  • A Grand Dragon Nest
  • A Massive Dragon Nest

Defeat nest guardians to loot the contents (note, clothing and armor of human nest guardians cannot be looted).

Nests may contain:

  • Dragon Eggs – multiple styles, hues, and qualities.
  • Creature Bones – with over 100 name combos and 50 item types, including bone containers.
  • Thematic Equipment – “Chewed”, “Dissolved”, and “Charred” sets.
  • Pages of Lore
  • New Dragon Mount:
    • Rare chance to find a Mature Dragon Egg
    • Hatches into the mountable Juvenile Umbrascale Dragon
    • 3 Control Slots, Trainable to 5, requires Animal Taming.
    • Matches the hue of the egg it hatches from.
    • Orb of Ethereal Transcendence can convert it into an ethereal mount for anyone.
  •  Players can quietly dismantle or burn nests (requires lit torch).
    right click on the nest and choose ‘remove nest’ to reveal the gump
  • Quietly dismantling nests will not trigger the Matriarch.
  • Level 4 and 5 Dragon Nest Maps have a chance for a tamable Umbrascale Ascendant to spawn

Dragon Matriarch

  • Messages will be seen warning of the Matriarch’s approach
    • The skies remain still, but the scent of scorched earth lingers faintly on the wind.
    • Whispers echo from forgotten caves… something ancient stirs beneath the ash.
    • Distant roars echo across the mountains. Scorched skies foretell the return of something vast.
    • The skies blacken and crackle with flame… Something massive draws near.
    • From the ashes of the fallen, she rises. All shall burn beneath her gaze.
  • Once enough nests have been burned a warning of the Matriarch’s imminent arrival can be seen, you have several minutes to summon aid!
  • Fight the Matriarch for special rewards in an Umbrascale Satchel:
    • Artifacts “Of The Umbrascale”
    • Dragon Eggs
    • Special hued clothing items
    • Battle-ravaged trees with unique names and colors
    • Very rare Mature Dragon Egg in a unique Matriarch-only hue
