The Drachnid Hive
Overview
The Hive is home to the drachnid population. There are 4 multi-level cocoons to the north connected via the Living Bridges which ultimately lead to the locked zone Dreadspire Keep. There are also 2 multi-level buildings in the main area, complete with basement and cave system where the drachnids experiment on victims. The 20 rares here all have common sounding names and are targeted at players in their 60s. There are 3 zonewide drops:
