Dungeoneering XP & Gravestones - AlchemyHawk - 2012-11-15
Dungeoneering Improvements (Free Players & Members)
There’s nothing like breaking new ground in the murky depths of Daemonheim with a full party of friends at your side. If you prefer to go it solo or with just one or two friends, though, some of Daemonheim’s sweetest swag could – until now – feel unobtainable. That wasn’t fair, and today’s update changes that.
Clearing floors in Daemonheim now gives you far greater XP returns than before – at least double for a solo player – as well as a far higher yield of tokens. While a full group of five is still the fastest way to progress, no-one should feel that Daemonheim's bounty is out of reach. Start saving up for that chaotic rapier!
In line with feedback received on the Evolution of Combat, we’ve also overhauled the item binding system. Everyone - regardless of Dungeoneering level - can now bind ten items. You won’t get to carry all ten at a time, of course; they’ll go into a remotely-held pool of bound items, from which you'll be able to select loadouts by speaking to the Smuggler. You can return to the Smuggler at any time to switch your bound items, and he'll remember up to three presets for ease of use. The number of your bound items that can be included in a loadout varies according to your Dungeoneering level:
1 Dungeoneering: 1 item
20 Dungeoneering: 2 items
50 Dungeoneering: 3 items
90 Dungoneering: 4 items
120 Dungeoneering: 5 items
With this new system, you never need be without the right weapon for the job – doubly important when the Evolution of Combat lands in a week’s time. Switching between specialised melee, range and mage setups is as simple as a trip back the smuggler and will no longer take such a heavy toll on your inventory. Couple that with a slick new interface to manage the new system, and no foe need stand in your way.
Gravestone Update (Free Players & Members)
Ever died in Darkmeyer, watched as your gear faded before your grasping fingers, and found yourself in a city full of hungry vampyres, wearing just your undergarments and an expression of dismay? Brr…
With the new gravestone interface, there's no longer any reason to be left out in the cold. Just click once on your gravestone to neatly display everything you dropped on death, allowing you to choose the items from your gravestone rather than clicking frantically through a long list. It's also possible to click the gravestone timer while nearby, to take you straight to the point of your demise - useful if there's more than one stone about. There are also 'take all' and 're-equip all' buttons, so you'll be up and back into the fray before you know it.

Great update to dg. One word of warning for the new gravestone is that if you have a full inven of stuff you keep on death it drops what you have equipped on the ground where you spawn.

RE: Dungeoneering XP & Gravestones - Bug - 2012-11-15
Sounds like a decent update for those of us who choose to solo DG or go in groups of 2-3. I will have to try it out when I get the urge in me to go for 99 DG.
The gravestone update also sounds handy but I have never personally had a problem getting all my gear/invent off the ground before it vanishes. Given, I have available to me nearly every teleport known
