ete the investigation quests with Minsc and Boo (ending with Swords for Everyone! )

Drowned Shore
Available after the quest Swords for Everyone
In the wake of the defeat of the Blackdagger Bandits, trade along the High Road
gradually resumed. Rangers of the Emerald Enclave took it upon themselves to gui
de merchants and travelers through the stretch of coastal forest that surrounds
the Blackdagger Ruins, while keeping watch to assure the fortress did not become
home to some other baneful force.
A contingent of dwarf miners under Udo Stonekin took up working the abandoned mi
nes in the area with modest success.
Meanwhile, Lord Neverember assigned a small contingent of Neverwinter Guards to
garrison the lighthouses at Raven Cliff Beach with orders to prevent those beaco
ns from falling into the hands of pirates and wreckers as happened once before.
The Guards were somewhat surprised to find an ornate tower built on the shore. T
hey learned this tower was built by followers of Lliira who called it the Founta
in of Delights. Visitors were offered relaxing, scented baths. Seeing no harm in
this, the guards went about their business.
Reclamation Rock
Available at level 63 and after the quest

Swords for Everyone

After the Ashamadai were defeated, Lord Neverember decreed that Helm's Hold shou
ld be fully rebuilt, as he plans to use the fortress-city as a vital supply poin
t as he pursues Neverwinter's enemies and consolidates his hold on the interior
lands of the Sword Coast. However, as Neverwinter's forces became engaged in num
erous conflicts, troops were drawn away from the Helm's Hold garrison, and the c
ity council began to feel their city was vulnerable, and grew nervous.
Despite the protests of several prominent city councilors, the Helm's Hold counc
il began to search for alternate means of insuring their safety. It was at this
time that they were approached by the Black Earth mercenary company. The Black E
arth presented themselves as a new mercenary company, chartered by a Whaterdhavi
an noble, well trained and armed, and experts with earth-based magic. They offer
ed to protect Helm's Hold for a very low figure, so long as they were allowed to
build a keep nearby to act as a base for their own operations. Such situations
weren't unheard of, Baldur's Gate to the south had such a long relationship with
the Flaming Fist mercenary company that they now also served as the city watch.
Furthermore, it would be years before Helm's Holds walls could be repaired, so
having a fort nearby could provide a great deal of security. The city council of
Helm's Hold, growing every fearful for the safety of their city following a num
ber of attacks on merchants from bulettes, were eager to sign the deal.
Lord Neverember was wary of allowing a mercenary force to build it's own keep in
side his territory, but he had tamed mercenary armies to his will before. The Mi
ntarn mercenaries he'd originally hired to secure his hold on Neverwinter over a
decade ago were now the well-respected Neverwinter Guard. He also knew the What
erdhavian noble who had founded the Black Earth mercenaries, Marlos Urnrayle, an
d was certain that if Urnrayle planned to set up his own kingdom, Neverember cou
ld easily handle any questions of loyalty with his own influence in Waterdeep (a
nd his much deeper coffers). He approved the deal on a trial basis, and called C
aptain Dunfield out of retirement to return to lead the garrison force in Helm's
Hold, determine who on the city council were trustworthy and who Urnrayle might
have in his pocket, and keep an eye on the Black Earth Mercenaries. Finally, he
was intrigued in the Black Earth's claim that they could build their fortress i
n a day with their magic. If they proved disloyal as mercenaries, the survivors
might be useful as engineers. With his own precautions and people in place, Lord
Neverember cautiously approved the deal.
Initially, everything worked well. The Black Earth mercenaries patrolled the tow
n, protected the roads, and aided in the reconstruction effort. There were even
able to raise their fortress in a single day using their elemental magic just as
they had claimed, and called it Reclamation Rock. However, this also showed the
first true strain, as the fortress appeared a full league closer to Helm's Hold
than had been agreed on, tearing up from the earth where once Neverwinter's for
ces had made their stand against the Ashmadai at the Last Redoubt. Despite the B
lack Earth's claim that it was an accident caused by magical disturbances, relat
ions between the city and it's new guardians began to go downhill.
Fiery Pit
Available at level 65 and after the quest

Swords for Everyone

When Gauntlgrym was rediscovered, descendants of the Delzoun dwarves worked tire
lessly to rebuild the fabled city and take hold of its wealth. However, they soo
n discovered that the task of rebuilding was monumental, and begrudgingly sought
outside help. In doing so, they hired on a large team of skilled artisans form
the surface, who worked for little pay and promised to speed up the reconstructi
on many times over what the dwarves were capable of themselves. The artisans ere
cted huge floating towers above the pit, serving as a base of operation for thei
r work. They then began work on rebuilding the Great Forge, which the dwarves us
ed to tap into the power of the ancient imprisoned fire primordial, Maegera, who

resides deep below Gauntlgrym in what is known as the Fiery Pit. Soon after the
forge was rebuilt, the Cult of the Eternal Flame showed up, and the artisans fl
ed for their lives.
The Lords Alliance quickly received word of the attack and rallied troops to prot
ect their allies, and other interests in Gauntlgrym. They soon realized the size
of the cultist force they were up against, which includes Fire Giants, Fire Arc
hons, Flame Spikers, and Magma Brutes, as well as some new threats: Fire Strider
s, bipedal reptilian beasts which the cult has trained as deadly mounts. If matt
ers weren t dangerous enough, they also began to see an influx of hostile duergar,
the evil grey dwarves who live in the neighboring caves. The Lords Alliance put
out the call for skilled adventurers to come and bolster their fighting force. T
hey ll be working alongside the Lords Alliance, as well as some rather unlikely all
ies to defeat these new threats. But, can these bold adventurers stop the Cult o
f the Eternal Flame and their prophet leader, the temptress, Vanifer, from carry
ing out their plans before they bathe the world in fiery destruction?
Spinward Rise
Available at level 67 and after the quest Swords for Everyone With the threat of th
e Elemental Evil Cults clear, the Harpers have been searching hard to discover t
he base of the last of the elemental cults. Thanks to a various clues found whil
e fighting the previous cults, the heroes have discovered the final cult strongh
old in the clouds above Neverwinter Wood. Held aloft by cloud giant magic, the C
ult of the Howling Hatred has built a stronghold in the guise of a floating isla
nd observatory established by the supposed avariel, Aerisi Kalinoth.
Once the Harpers realized this was in truth the final Elemental Evil cult, they
gathered allies to invade Spinward Rise and prevent the creation of further deva
station orbs. Harper-aligned wizards with the help of a priest of Shaundakul hel
ped activate an ancient portal to this skyward realm, and together with their aa
rakocra allies plan to take the fight to the air cult.

Invocation Updates
Adventurers of the Sword Coast, the deities have found new ways to reward the mo
st devout!
Invocation rewards have been updated to better reward players who log in every d
ay, while removing the sting for those who accidentally miss a day or two.
Here is a quick highlight of the changes to Invocation:
Celestial Coins no longer disappear if their bearer does not Invoke!
The first few Invocations per day can be performed more frequently, and Invocati
ons grow more powerful the more times they're performed in a given day.
After the first Invoke, the player may invoke again after 15 minutes, then 30, a
nd so on.
Experience and Astral Diamond rewards increase with each Invocation in the same
day.
After the final blessing, players are no longer prompted to Invoke until the nex
t day.
A new Invocation window shows the player's current progress in the day's Invocat
ion path, as well as a preview of the rewards each tier will provide.
The Invocation day resets when daily quests reset, allowing players to begin Inv
oking anew.
The final tier of Invocation allows players to gain a second Celestial Coin in a
single day!
The Vault of Piety has received an update as well, both to its layout and its co
ntents:
Large Party Poppers are no longer available in the Vault.

Patch Notes
Classes and Balance
General Changes
All characters will receive a forced full respec to accommodate feat tree and po
wer changes.
All classes now have new feats for each path as well as two new Class Features a
nd Encounter powers!
Boons that heal players or deal damage now scale between levels 60 and 70. They
begin at 10% effectiveness at level 60 and scale up to 100% effectiveness at lev
el 70.
Power Slots
The second Daily power slot is unlocked at level 10 (down from 18).

The third Encounter power slot is unlocked at level 6 (down from 7).
Stat Changes
Armor Penetration: Enemies in more difficult content will have increasingly more
Armor in higher tiers of dungeons to allow Armor Penetration to become more eff
ective overall and still needed as content progresses instead of reaching an eff
ective cap where it is no longer used.
Regeneration: No longer provides in Combat Health Regeneration. Now increases th
e effectiveness of healing spells cast against you and provides out of Combat he
alth regeneration.
Life Steal: No longer activates on all attacks. Life Steal now increases the cha
nce to activate life steal, which will steal an amount equal to the life steal s
everity the player has.
Stat Curves: As a general rule the new stat curves at level 70 will feel much mo
re restrictive but they are vastly improved in two major facets that will facili
tate better content going forward. Firstly they are far friendlier with stacking
stats, meaning you can chase stats much harder than you could before without be
ing strongly penalized. While the curves are not totally linear, they will feel
that way for the most part. Secondly they are designed to work much farther into
our projected gear growth over the coming modules, and as such should handle po
wer creep much more gracefully than before. Overall this means you will see smal
ler percentages at level 70 than you are used to, but as your equipment fills in
you will still find value in your core stats.
