Hail *NOR/!
Wednesday, May 17th marks the opening day of DDO’s Hardcore Season VIII – The Dragon’s Hoard. As it stands now, Season VIII will be a two-month season duration, ending on July 18th, 2023. Between now and then, players will have an opportunity to acquire patron favor; reaper action points; and lost pieces of dragon’s hoard, each which can be turned in for a unique bound-to-account items and effects.
The Hardcore server is a permadeath server, which means that if your character dies, it goes to the Land of the Lost Souls and you have to reroll. Accordingly, you will be faced with creating a character build that can survive traps, monsters, named bosses, and the trials and tribulations that are unique to Dungeons & Dragons Online. If you have a free-to-play account, you can enter quests on normal difficulty, and you will progressively unlock the hard and elite difficulty upon completion of the previous difficulty for each individual quest. VIPs unlock the elite difficulty to start, which grants you maximum favor for each quest to begin at the risk of the higher difficulty.
If you haven’t tried the Hardcore server before, I invite you to give it a shot! If you have any questions regarding character builds, strategies, and gameplay, do not hesitate to start a discussion within the DDO Courtyard channel on *NOR/’s Discord server. Additionally, our guild member Noobicabra will be streaming heroic, epic, and reaper quests daily on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/noobicabra if you want to see Noobi provide efficient gameplay and quest strategies.
See you in-game!
