Dungeon Covetous
The subterranean cavern of greed and cold depths carved beneath Mount Kendall, home to harpies, gazers, lake dragons, and aqueous terrors.

Overview & Location

Dungeon Covetous is situated in the mountain ridge northeast of the artisan city of Minoc and directly north of Vesper (Coordinates: 87°N, 114°E). Dedicated antithetically to the Virtue of Sacrifice, Covetous plunges through five dangerous subterranean tiers containing subterranean lakes, spider-infested vaults, and ancient dragon roosts.

Floor-by-Floor Inhabitants

Level 1: Harpy Roost

The upper cavern features winding stone hallways inhabited by Harpies, Giant Serpents, and Stone Harpies. Novice warriors frequently train here, relying on ranged combat and high-swing weapons to dispatch flying predators.

Level 2: Gazer Laboratories & Skeleton Crypts

The second level descends into ancient prison holding cells and summoning chambers:

  • Inhabitants: Gazers, Skeletons, Ghouls, and Spectres.
  • Hazards: Gazer mana drain and lightning bursts make energy resistance and reflect spells vital.

Level 3: Subterranean Lake

The third level opens into a colossal underground lake fed by subterranean rivers:

  • Inhabitants: Water Elementals, Poison Elementals, and Sea Serpents.
  • Treasure: Hidden chests along the sandy shorelines require moderate Lockpicking and Remove Trap skill.

Level 4: Dread Spider Nest

A labyrinth of silken webs and bone-strewn ledges:

  • Inhabitants: Dread Spiders and Giant Spiders.
  • Combat Note: Dread Spiders cast high-circle spells and afflict targets with deadly poison. Greater Cure potions are essential.

Level 5: Lake Dragons & Champion Spawn

The deepest cavern harbors an underground subterranean ocean home to Lake Dragons and Drakes.

  • Champion Altar: The site of the Cold Blood Champion Spawn.
  • Boss Threat: The spawning of powerful serpentine guardians makes Level 5 a hotspot for guild expeditions and high-stakes PvP clashes.

Tactical Advice

  • Supplies: Bring ample Greater Cure and Greater Heal potions; spider venoms inflict severe damage over time.
  • Escape Routes: Teleportation and Recall require clear lines of sight; be mindful of choke points at stairwells where red PKs often lay ambushes.
