The Goblin Mines await you

500x200-Goblin

As you leave the scenic hovel of Silverfall and venture into the dark New Moon Forest and the icy steppes of the Ystra Highlands, you hear someone calling you out! Your curiosity piqued, you trace the voice where it came from. It leads you to the corner of the town auction house and right straight to a shady character standing behind wooden boxes.

The suspicious individual introduces himself as Mahler Palo, a goblin ingeniously disguising himself as a human. He immediately makes a proposal – you can enter the famed Goblin Mines and find yourself a fortune for just 30 Phirius tokens!

To enter the Goblin Mine, you need to first talk to Mahler Palo.

Afterwards, you will find yourself transported to the Goblin Mine gate. It is through the Goblin Manager that you shell out the Phirius tokens or back out.

*Note: If you do not have enough Phirius Tokens, you can “bribe” the Goblin Manager by shelling out a Transport Portal Rune to enter the Goblin Mines.

Once inside, you turn into a Goblin – thanks to a potion that you automatically receive and consume.

In the first level, you need to kill 40 worms in order to advance to the next level.

Things will get tougher at the next stage, wherein you need to kill 60 goblins.

The last instance is where things get nastier. You need to battle four groups of elementals – water, air, fire, and earth – in order to unlock treasure chests that contain exclusive items.

However, elite bosses Evelyn and Solomus randomly spring up. So be wary of them. After you overcome them, they will yield good and rare, or even epic items.

Once you have cleared the mobs and looted the treasure chests, a transport portal will open in the middle of the large room. Step inside it to leave the Goblin Mines.

You will automatically find yourself in front of Mahler Palo once again. Talk to him again to exchange the randomly dropped Goblin Champion badges for titles. Ten Goblin Champion badges will earn you the title “Goblin Hero”. Meanwhile, having the “Goblin Hero” title and 100 Goblin Champion badges will net you the coveted “Move over, Goblin” title.

Completing the Goblin Mines event instance will give you premium items and hard-to-find ingredients.

But before you venture into the Goblin Mines, consider forming a raid party. The toughness of the mobs inside the Goblin Mines adapt to the current level of the players, while the bosses are downright super tough.

Before talking to Mahler Palo, makes sure that you are already in a party. In addition, party members must have 30 Phirius tokens or a Transport Portal Rune to enter the Goblin Mines.

May your loots be epic and your hits be crits!
