Duskruin Arena serves as the namesake of the bi-annual Duskruin event and is one of the activities available which allows characters the opportunity to gain bloodscrip.
General Information
Adventurers can opt to fight in solo matches, or join with up to two peers and fight in 2v2 or 3v3 team matches. Each parchment stamped voucher, by itself or from a stamped voucher booklet, offers entry into the arena for up to 25 rounds. Additionally, those who run the solo arena can choose to battle in an endless match. PRAY for stamina and mana recovery, but there are dangers if used more than 3 times (solo).
Location
The arena is located on the eastern side of Bloodriven Village, in the middle of Faida Lane (room 12 on the map).
Matches
- Solo - Participants entering the arena for a solo standard match will face a total of 25 combatants, with every fifth round featuring either a champion or an automaton.
- Endless - Available only to solo combatants, Endless arena matches begin after the final champion is beaten in during the standard match. No additional bloodscrip is awarded for these matches.
- Team - Groups of 2 or 3 can run team battles in the Arena, and will be faced with an equal number of opponents to those entering. Team matches no longer offer bonus bloodscrip.
Prizes
When your arena match ends, you will automatically receive the Bloodscrip you earned, possibly a WPS smithy invite, and a loot package.

Areas of Interest
The Celestial Temple
Introduced during the April 2016 run of Duskruin, the Celestial Temple offered additional background information for Bloodriven Village and Duskruin Arena, and is tied to the collectible system for MoonShard pendants. It continues to serve as the place to join completed moons to a pendant, and is also where the dwarven archaeologist can be found to trade flat etched stones for bloodscrip.
The Temple holds many secrets within its walls, and offers a way to get a Bloodrune Holder if one can figure out its puzzle.
Additionally, the WPS smithy, forging slab smelter, and Bloodforge can be found within the Temple. The Duskruin Dig (discontinued) was located here during its runs.
Bank
The bank can be found in the upper most level of the Arena and allows adventurers the ability to deposit or withdraw based on the bank of the town travelled from.
Spectator Seats
Duskruin Arena offers areas to WATCH the various bouts and cheer or jeer for any contestant. 2021 saw the addition of more seating in the Cheap Seats, which also offer some food and drinks.
