what happens to your corpse if you die in one of the dungeons ? since you cant go back in by yourself for a CR..does it pop in a safe point somewhere?

[b][/b]The Question I have is Can and will I be able to ride my Drogmar? Inside the LDoN Zones?? Will they have an upgraded version of the Drogmar if I can not do this?

so will people be able to solo in these dungeons like mages? or do u need like 4 people in a group just to enter? im confused so dont make fun of me....

I haven't found much about the new smithing/fletching recipes on here... I am a 188 smither and all my other skills are 200 or over... can anyone tell me if Shadow Scream will still be the way to go or if LDoN will offer a new and better way for me to skill up?? I sure hope so!!

btw, noone mentioned about the "companions" in the dungeon yet so i guess i'll pop the top on that one =P in every dungeon, you'll come across some sort of mob laying down with like 2% hps called a "wounded X" or things like that. if you smack him/her, then hail him/her it brings up some text like "blah blah blah can i follow you?" just say "follow me" and you've got yourself a lt blue pet for extra dmg. the only problem is they can only go for a limited distance from where you got them and then they dissapear, but fortunately theres a bunch of them all over the dungeons so you can keep getting them if you need some extra dmg. they're like enchanter pets in that they're hard to control though, so don't get your hopes up all that high =P

Will there be a way to Augment a COF in order to Raise the %Haste to 41% rather than it's current 36% and will it be possible to Augment Warrior Epic Blades to lower the Delay on the Ratios?

is there a min level to get andevntures or no? wondering if i can use them to lvl a alt up differently instead of the same old newb zone, oasis paludal highhold crap

Generally indoor zones sport better XP than outdoor, how is the XP in LDoN? Is it feasable to gain decent AA while exploring the instanced dungeons?

As a lot of the posts below are repetitive, here is just a general overview + the screenshots. Sorry if any of the stuff is repeated in another part of the post, or doesn't seem to flow too fluidly... its mostly cut and paste of my posts, a lot of which had fallen on to the second page. This should hopefully answer some of your questions.
raids time limits seem to be about 3 hours. adventure time limits are 90 mins. raids take 18-36 people, adventures take 4-6. awarded points on each successful adventure completion depending on level and difficulty level (normal/hard.) you can only get an adventure in a group with people within 7 levels of you. a normal level 30 adventure will provide 3 points, a normal 65 will provide 51 points, and a hard 65 will provide 76 points. you start seeing items at the adventure merchants when you have over 100 points in any one theme. Augments can be dropped **OR** bought at an adventure merchant. adventures have 90 min time limits, twice that for most raids.
after you go through some dialogue in your hometown (or RM/karana if you are kos at home) and some at any adventurers camp, you get an "adventurers stone" to augment your charm. Once you have it you can port around the camps simply by saying the name of another camp near a magus. can add stats when you get a lot of adventure points also. most pure casters recieve disarm/unlock spells for chests. Paladins (my main in beta) recieve a spell called Guidance, which is a 1100hp + 54ac buff (basically on par with aego.) Also get temperance and group temperance. Enchanters get single target VoQuellious and illusion frost bone among other things. New series of spells for several classes that add spellshield %'s, similiar to the items found in potime. Clerics get a melee guard spell -- similiar to spell shield, except takes off melee damage instead of spell damage. various other interesting spells.all items that I saw have aug slots, old world items only one. depending on the level item it is, it will have a different slot. nubi items have slot 1, while time items have slot 8 etc. augments are both dropped, and found on the adventure merchants.

edit: also, a good series of q& a about zoneouts, lds etc down below. not copying it into here as that would make it larger.

Do the items with augmentation slots come from the Wayfarers, or do they drop off NPCs in the dungeons, or both?

I imagine the more slots an item has, in addition to its base stats (before augmentation), the rarer the drops are, if they are dropped at all.

Any word on how many adventure points it takes to get items that would be considered an ugrade between 55 and 65? I'll be buried in the dungeons either way, but I am curious as to how much time I should expect to spend before I'll be getting rewards that are an improvement in my gear, rather than fodder for a vendor.

Are augmentations available from the Wayfarers, or are those dropped only? I'm guessing from the names, the dropped ones are specific to which theme of dungeon you are in, but some of them are generic in name, and I was curious if those can be picked up just with points.

How did the existance of charms look? I haven't seen any screenshots of any, but I'd heard there would be some new ones. (And at that, if there are new ones, are they augmentable as well?)

Figured I'd throw out the questions I came up with skimming the replies, and didn't see.

I posed this in a reply but more people prolly gonna look at this post. The new zones are dungeons right? Are they dungeons by definiton, meaning are they like traditional dungeons? The real question im asking is-Can u cast SoW or bard speed while in a dungeon?

Havent seen the name of the fifth theme posted anywhere. What is it?

My question is concerning system requirements. Currently with a cable modem and a so-so video card many of the new areas are extremely laggy, such as JaggedPine or POT. Should I expect the same for LDoN?

Also, will charms still be No Drop with this expansion? Finally, how do you become a beta tester within EQ?
