  • Rk. III spells and tomes result from turnins of runes from raid events or are purchased off of elite vendors after unlocking via a combination of faction and group and/or raid missions.

SOF Zones

  • There are fifteen new zones with SOF, twelve primarily group zones and three primarily raid zones.
  • You can download maps of all of the new zones here.
  • Group content in SOF is separated in to four tiers:
  • There will be 28 raid events in SOF, structured in to four tiers. There aren't very many details out yet, so the pages below will mostly be placeholders for now.
      • It's currently unknown what raid T1 will consist of; as info becomes available, it will be found here.
      • It's currently unknown what raid T2 will consist of; as info becomes available, it will be found here.
      • It's currently unknown what raid T3 will consist of; as info becomes available, it will be found here.
      • It's currently unknown what raid T4 will consist of; as info becomes available, it will be found here. It is probably safe to assume that the final event in T4 will involve Kerafyrm himself.
