Dark, Despair and Doom, Just How Deep Will You Go?

So we now have an idea I am a guy with too much time on his hands who loves DDO and was playing Dungeons and Dragons before there were versions. So thought today I would cover my favourite chain, it is not a long saga or has multiple jumps in difficulty or required play style. It is probably the simplest 4 dungeons in the game and can be done in under 13 minutes if you try.

I am of course talking about the Depth Quests in House Deneith. Two level 4 quests and two level 5 quests that you can play through so if you summon a hireling they remain with you the whole way through. The only real downside to the quests are they are given in the Hammersmith Inn from 4 ex Manchester United Soccer Players (yes I am a Brit but the American players believe football is a game where you don't use your feet). The quests are linear so there isn't much in the way of back tracking and once you learn a route for each of the quests they become predictable and easy to work through.

So 4 quests with 4 end rewards and is reasonable to run from level 4 to level 7 and it is reasonable to expect to complete all 4 in under 15 minutes. And for those of us that want guild renown each quest pays out about 85% of time. So do you need a trapper? Actually not really, the traps can hurt but unless you stand still and wait for them to chop you up they can be ran through without too many issues. Depending on the preferred route that number of chests you can access varies but for me I have a route that gives me 9 chests so long as I can pick locks and I tend to skip a chest. Without the lock pick you can still get 8 chests plus 4 end rewards so it does become a rather pleasant run though.

It terms of monsters trogs, a few undead, earth elementals, Ogres etc. But there is nothing to scare anyone in what you are facing. Usually the worst issue is the odd ooze and rust monster that will cause a little wear and tear on the weapons. The wiki entry and map make it easy to plan and run the quests and after running it 5 or 6 times it becomes way to easy. There are even walk throughs on youtube (or were). But if you only have a few minutes and want a bit of xp and some guild renown this chain  is remarkably good fun.

Happy Questing
