View source for Catacombs of Dranik

Dranik is one of two daily [[expedition]]s created in September of 2014. Completion of the Dranik expedition grants 8 [[Hive Shards]], which can be spent on items from [[Hive Queen]] in [[Stonehive]]. Some of the items from [[Hive Queen]] include [[Charm Prism Upgrade]]s, [[Ultimate Augment]]s, and [[Superior Lightstone]]s. This expedition is divided into three separate zones. Each zone is further divided into sections by barriers that remove themselves once [[bosses]], or specific tasks have been completed.<br><br>
Other than the 8 [[Hive Shards|shards]], there are many benefits of completing, or even attempting this zone. The "trash" NPCs from these zones have a rare chance to drop [[Essence#Dragons Minor|Essence of Dragons Minor]], [[Essence#Dragons Major|Essence of Dragons Major]], [[Essence#Gods Minor|Essence of Gods Minor]], and [[Essence#Gods Major|Essence of Gods Major]]. They also drop [[Charm Prism Upgrade]]s, which can be used in substitute for v1 *OR* v2 [[Charm Upgrades]] for your [[Ultimate Charm]]s. In addition to these, the experience is good, and items from [[Airplane]], such as weapons and armor drop as well.

'''NOTE''': Starting expeditions from public zones are bugged and should be initiated from an instance of Nexus or Stonehive.

The third and final level of Dranik. The NPC's in this level are oozes, tadpoles, and "mudmen". This level is also the hardest, and may take a bit of time for some players, as the mobs have much more HP than lower levels.<br><br><br>

*Invulnerable
*Every time he summons projectiles he does damage to himself

'''[[Pusbelly]]'''<br>
*As of 2024, this boss is bugged. Following the steps below will not guarantee all the adds spawning. 
*Periodically charms players wielding [[Ultimate Weapon]]s
*Goes invlunerable and summons adds every 25%
*DPSing him too fast can cause the adds to bug out
*Killing him will make the slaves begin killing themselves. You do not want this, as they are the best loot droppers of this entire expedition, so always switch off to deal with adds!<br><br><br>
