In ages past, when the races of the world had little to fear from reckless warlords like the ones who shattered the world and created the sands, it was believed that the best way to gain true knowledge was to study and work hard. When the the Twelve became aware of the workings of their world, they realized that time was just another variable in the struggle for power.
We are not bound to a timeline. It was the Twelve who taught us that. In bending their own timelines, they were able to spend limitless amounts of energy studying and mastering their abilities. It may have only been thanks to their mercy that the entire world was not torn asunder during their war. Nevertheless, they left with us the knowledge that in order to begin the path to greatness, we must revisit our past.
When you choose to take on a dungeon run, you are challenging yourself to advance your level and to clear out a dungeon as quickly as possible. You will be reset to level 1, your mind will be wiped of non-permanent skills, and all your artifacts will be stored in the Bank of Nobility. As you progress through the levels towards your goal, you will be able to remove artifacts from the bank that can help you. You are unable to wipe your mind of skills over the course of a dungeon run, so choose carefully! When you defeat the final foe of the dungeon, an artifact will drop. Bring it to us, and we will record the time and details of your run, and reward you with an artifact that can be exchanged for a true treasure.
Notes[]
All of your gold and artifacts are placed in the bank. You cannot withdraw gold during the run. You start off with the ability to withdraw 5 artifacts, and gain access to another artifact for every 50 points of fatigue used, discounting any fatigue reduction you have in place.
You cannot receive artifacts in the mail from other players while on a dungeon run (they will stay in your mailbox until the end of the run). Also, you cannot use the auction house, so the only items you have access to are those in the bank and those you acquire during the run. It may be wise to gather up any hard-to-find items you want before starting a run. Also give a thought to initial equipment, because you will start out with no money or gear.
