Summary
New Realm: The Ancient Lands
The Dragonfire update opens portals to the Ancient Lands, a shattered realm of floating islands. These portals support scaling party sizes from solo players to groups of 20. Players must complete island objectives and use Keystones to activate Leygates, allowing deeper exploration into the region for greater rewards and encounters with powerful Drakes.
PvE Challenges and Raids
The update introduces Albion's most demanding PvE content yet. The Dragon Sanctuary is a 20-player raid dungeon requiring optimized group compositions to defeat Azaryon, the Fire Dragon. Additionally, Dragon Attacks now occur as world events; these are unannounced on the Royal Continent but scheduled in the Outlands to allow for guild competition.
Progression and Rewards
Players can craft the new Dragonslayer armor set from Dragon Scales and raise their own Firewing Drake mount from eggs dropped by Azaryon. The update also adds new food, potions, and vanity items, alongside expanded missions for the Albion Journal and Guild Challenges.
