The updated Skrag Caves are now open to daredevils who have no fear of the green-skinned monsters!

Now the Caves beneath Fort Giard and the Fort itself are considered two different instances that can be visited independently. The instance at the fort will be open soon, but the caves are already waiting for warriors!

General changes affect both instances as follows:

• Relics are now available as a trophy any battle with a Skrag in the fort and in the caves, but of course, the chance to receive them from a leader are significantly higher than with ordinary Skrags.

• According to the rules of loot, the chance to get relics is reduced if your level is above the level of the enemy. • The price of relics has been reduced by 3 times, so now the sales tax is less as well.

• Now you can improve your Hero of the Empire reputation in both of the instances. In the "Skrag Caves" destroy Chieftain Zultragh, Leader Hurugh-Khara, or the Ghost of Shaman Marmarukh to earn 1,000 reputation. Slay Kshigurakh for up to 3000 points.

• Treasure caches filled with items, consumables or buffs are now hidden in instances.

Now, specific to the underground part of the instance.
