• Myth Drannor's quests are level 13 on Heroic difficulty and level 35 on Legendary difficulty.
  
• Play as a member of the Eladrin, elemental masters of the Feywild, adept in versatile combat and specialized seasonal magic.
  
• Discover the Eladrin Chaosmancer Iconic Hero, where seasonal affinities transform elemental spellcasting into a spectacular display of unique, powerful magic. They start with one class level in the Wild Mage Archetype.
  
• Access the new Wild Mage Archetype for the Sorcerer and unlock a new class Enhancement tree!
  
• Some of the most renowned villains in Dungeons & Dragons lore have come to Myth Drannor! Followers of the lich Szass Tam, the Red Wizards of Thay, have come to the ancient Elven ruins. What secrets do they seek?
  
• Venture through the lands of Myth Drannor with 13 new quests, an exciting new wilderness area, and raid (the raid content will be released after the release of the expansion in a subsequent game update).
  
• The game's level cap will increase to 34 with the release of Myth Drannor.

• Wild Magic is a chaotic force that can be harnessed by some spell casters, or appears as an environmental effect that can be found where an extremely powerful magical event occurred. The casting of spells as a Wild Mage or in a Wild Magic Zone has a random chance to cause a Wild Magic Surge.
  
• Wild Magic Surges are random magical effects that occur on or around the caster at the moment they cast a spell. The frequency of surges and chance of good or bad results can be manipulated by things in the Wild Mage Enhancement tree.
  
• Wild Surges do not interact with snapshotting for persistent spell effects like Death Aura, Lantern Archon, or Wall of Fire. The only exception is the Enlightened Spirit's Aura. Because this aura is a Warlock blast shape toggle, each tick of the aura is considered a "cast" for the purposes of determining Wild Surges. This will only happen if the aura hits a target and the Warlock is in combat.
  
• All Warlock Eldritch Blasts and spells can cause Surges, but free Warlock abilities like blasts will only cause a Surge when in active combat.
  
• Wild Surge Luck has been added to the +Stats panel in your character's UI. This stat indicates you have a bonus on the table that is rolled to determine if you get good or bad surges. High rolls are better. Note that this bonus represents a random range so it will never make it impossible to get very bad surges, just less likely. The Rapid Surge and Action Boost enhancements in the Wild Mage tree feature this bonus as does the Iconic Eladrin Racial Tree.
  
• Surges are divided into five categories:
  
• Very Good (chance is very rare)​
  
• Good​
  
• Neutral​
  
• Bad​
  
• Very Bad (chance is very rare)​
  
• ​Wild Magic Surge Rules:
  
• The spell you are casting when you surge always resolves normally (the surge is an ADDITIONAL effect.)
  
• Wild Magic Surges can only occur in dungeons.
  
• Bad or Very Bad negative effects ONLY affect the caster but Good/Very Good effects will sometimes apply to allies/party members
  
• Bad effects may debuff you but will not Crowd Control you.
  
• Very Bad effects may Crowd Control you, making them very dangerous.
  
• You will get a VFX/Sound warning a few seconds before you character becomes "hot" with a wild surge on your next cast, that will indicate if it is good or bad surge. Red means bad.
  
• Monsters/Henchmen use this system as well but certain surges will not occur for them or will be different.

• The Eladrin is a Feywild denizen attuned to Seasonal magic. They are fey creatures in the form of elves. Mechanically, they are an elemental generalist, great at most forms of combat, with the ability to specialize into their seasonal abilities to further customize their combat prowess. The Iconic is a Wild Mage Sorcerer, whose seasonal affinity lends a unique bend to their elemental spell casting.

Here are the release notes for Update 66: Rise of the Dragon Lord, released on Wednesday, February 28th, 2024.



We're celebrating 50 Years of Dungeons & Dragons with giveaways every month! For this month, a new fighter Archetype is now available. Dragon Lord fighters forgo the use of a shield to focus on offensive tactical combat mixed with potent draconic abilities, and they empower and protect allies with auras while destroying foes with the roar of a dragon! See the full list of abilities and benefits in the release notes below.

Now through March 26th, 2024 all players can acquire the Dragon Lord archetype for FREE by visiting the dragon Xatheral in the Eberron Hall of Heroes! The Dragon Lord archetype will continue to be free to VIPs after March 26th, and available in the DDO Store as well. NOTE: VIPs must speak to Xatheral to claim the Dragon Lord from February 28th through March 26th. VIPs will be able to make a Dragon Lord after March 26th without speaking to Xetheral once the Year of the Dragon promotional period for Dragon Lord has ended.

Read more about our entire Year of the Dragon celebration on DDO.com!


Happy 18th Anniversary Dungeons & Dragons Online! The Anniversary Event has returned to House Phiarlan through March 12th! Last year's anniversary gift, the Dark Armor cosmetic, has been added to the list of Anniversary Event rewards.

A Look at 2024, The Year of the Dragon – Producer's Letter

Greetings Everyone! 

Today I wanted to tell you about some of our plans for the year in Dungeons & Dragons Online. I hope you all had a fantastic 2023, and that you’re ready for even more adventures. I’m having a bit of adventure myself at the moment due to a winter storm, writing a draft of this Producer’s Letter in the dark by candlelight, with one of those old timey writing things ... a pen and some paper.

In a way it’s kind of thematically appropriate; it has me thinking about when I used to write D&D adventures by hand for my friends. It’s been nice to pause and reflect on those endearing D&D moments, because it is the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons! That’s half a century of people lovingly making their character builds, their campaigns, and playing with their friends. And yeah, sure, a lot of tools and technologies have changed in 50 years, but what hasn’t changed is the passion and creativity of everybody who loves D&D. That’s a huge reason why it has endured. As luck would have it, the 50th anniversary happens to fall on the lunar year of the Dragon! How fantastic is that? So that means we’re going to celebrate big. Dragon big! 

I am pleased to announce that starting at DDO’s Anniversary in February we will be rolling out a yearlong celebration in honor of D&D’s 50th Anniversary!  From free gifts to new features, each month during our Year of the Dragon celebration there will be something exciting for our players. Be sure to check in with us on February 7th when we will reveal what each month’s Year of the Dragon surprise will be! The fun starts during DDO's 18th anniversary on February 28th. As a hint to how this starts, the first surprise will be a dragon themed archetype. The “Year of the Dragon” celebration will last all the way until next year’s anniversary.   

To help get your friends and family ready for the Year of the Dragon, I’m also pleased to announce the return of a special coupon code that can be used to get a ton of free quest packs! Use coupon code: FREEDDO2024. (Available through 11:59pm Eastern (-4 GMT) Sunday, February 11th 2024.)

Learn more about all the quest packs that this code grants and how to apply the code here!

In addition, we have lots of other excitement planned in 2024. Here’s an early sense of what those updates will entail: 

By popular demand, our next major Expansion in the summer will take place in a fan favorite D&D location: Myth Drannor! It is among the more infamous places in the Forgotten Realms and we’re very excited to bring it to life! The level cap will increase to 34, and I’m looking forward to one of Myth Drannor’s hallmarks: Wild Magic areas. Myth Drannor is a place where opening yourself to chaos can allow you to tap into greater power.  It’s that power that has attracted the Red Wizards of Thay. Players will need to explore both the ruins of Myth Drannor, and interfere with the plans of the Red Wizards.  It’s the quintessential D&D and dungeon delving environment. Presale for the Expansion will start in June. 

In addition to two quest packs this year and our Expansion, there will also be a Dynamic Event with quests to unlock. Dynamic Events differ from our seasonal festivals in that while they are limited time activities, they are focused heavily on serious story narrative and DDO canon, and some aspects of them don’t repeat once the DDO community has advanced the story. They’re also meant to have elements that let players experience the event together, with collaboration and peer information sharing. After reviewing feedback on the Illithid Invasion, this Dynamic Event will be inclusive of all character levels since the Illithid Invasion was fairly end game focused. It will take the place of our Hardcore season so that all players can participate. We're anticipating that the event will be some time in the fall, though Dynamic Events may not always be during fall going forward. 

With the necessary Store infrastructure upgrades completed last year, we’ll also be looking to roll out the updates to the VIP program in the spring this year. We’ve made changes to the proposed rewards based on player feedback, and we’ll bring more information on the VIP program soon.  

We’ll update Crystal Cove and Night Revels to support the higher-level cap, and Night Revels will also get a new dungeon this year.  

If you’re new to the game, or returning after a little break, I just want to take a quick moment to recap some of the more recent features and excitement that have been added to DDO for you to enjoy:



We took players behind the scenes of dungeon making, and even let them help us decide what to build, with a new dungeon called “Catastrophe”. It’s a free quest, and you can also watch the behind-the-scenes video episodes about the making of it on our YouTube Channel. We plan to be at PAX East again this year, and more information about that will be announced soon. 

We’ve continued to expand our selection of Class Archetypes, adding Blightcaster, Dark Hunter, and Acolyte of the Skin. Archetypes have added some fresh play options, so we’re going to continue to add more types of them to the game in different ways. Some will be free, some will be paid, but all will bring new ways for people to shake up their character build dynamics. 

Several pieces of long time DDO content received a sprucing up and higher-level treasures added to make them playable at broader level ranges, including the Chronoscope, Deception in Stormreach, and Attack on Stormreach. 

Players recently worked together to successfully unlock a new set of tough dungeons in Sharn. While the live event is over, the quests that were unlocked are still available for everyone to play for free. These are some of the hardest quests we’ve had for a while, so see if your character has what it takes to best the Illithids there! 

A new treasure modification feature was added to the game known as the Deck of Many Curses. The cards for it first appeared in our aforementioned challenging Illithid Invasion dungeons. During Festivult, a curse introduced the cards to more places in game, and we’re going to go ahead and keep the card drops in the Legendary sagas. 

We have even more fun things planned in 2024, so check back with us regularly to see what’s new throughout the year! We’re so glad to have you with us, thanks for reading and we’ll see you in game!

Balance Adjustments:

• We've adjusted 13 distinct features across 7 classes and 2 universal trees to provide a larger holistic set of changes meant to intrigue character builders and shore up some statistical weaknesses.

• Heartseeker = Elementals
  
• Soulshatter = Outsiders

• Dretches will now pitch goo a little more frequently when being kited.
