Settlement of Reim
Settlement of Reim is the first permanently available dungeon crawl pay quest that is instanced into the following level groups:
- 1-30
- 31-60
- 61-90
- 91-100
The quest area is roughly 200 rooms split into four quadrants. Players have two hours to complete the quest or hunt within the area. Creatures scale to the characters' levels and are all non-corporeal undead.
Entry
The entry is beneath Icemule Trace on Thurfel's Island. Find the watery vortex just off of a pier (Lich room #9147). Venture into the vortex and through the cavernous approach to begin the quest.
Premium/Platinum subscribers will be able to access this quest on a daily cooldown of 22 hours. Standard and F2P subscribers will need to purchase a token which will be available in the SimuCoins store. A transport options from other realms to the quest is available at a higher reputation level. This will cost energy that can be earned by killing creatures within Reim.
Characters looking to group up with someone in a different level instance can flag themselves to enter a higher level instance with REIM LEVEL, but be warned, creatures are much harder.

Progression and Rare Spawns
As you progress through the quest you will encounter "rarely spawned" creatures. These are higher level and have different names. You must kill the rare spawns in order to progress through the quest.
If you are blocked when trying to go through a gate/door, you likely still need to kill the rare spawn.
Death
If you die, you will be swept up by gentle, groping, ethereal hands. It will cost energy and reputation to raise the character, which will be dumped out in a safe room back at the entrance or where you entered the quest from with Transport. To avoid being pulled away you can lifekeep yourself at any time or have a friend do so. You are limited to one death per quest run. The resurrection mechanics can also be turned off and bodies will simply be deposited outside of the quest.
Invasions
If a group of four or more is questing together, an automated invasion may be triggered! This consists of 2-4 creatures for each character throughout the area of the quest you are in. This has a cooldown and will not happen all the time.
Reputation
Characters can earn reputation by killing within the quest. Reputation will allow access to new features and gain more quest energy. A character's attack and defense boosts will also be scaled up based on its reputation.
Quest Energy
Quest energy is earned by killing creatures within Reim. This energy can be used for a few BOOSTS, SHOP access, and TRANSPORT into the quest.
Ethereal Scrip
Creatures and boxes have ethereal scrip to collect to spend in Reim shops.
Traps
Randomized throughout the quest area are traps. Some will require you to react and respond. Example, if a bow is pointed at your head...DUCK! You will have 5 seconds to respond after being prompted to react. If you respond wrong you will still have a randomized chance to avoid the trap... or suffer. There are some traps that are unavoidable.
Pitfall
This takes the group leader, or a loner, and drops you into a pitfall trap with another creature. You can try to escape but the creature has a chance to block you.
Other members of your group (or random people walking by) can jump in and help you.

Tips for Success
- You can leave during your 2 hours and re-enter penalty free. You can check your time left using REIM TIME.
- Know where your safe rooms are, you're going to get overwhelmed sometime and need a rest. Rooms with a vortex are generally safe rooms.
- Pitfalls are safe rooms after you kill the mob inside it, don't be afraid to jump in if you need a rest!
- Make sure your weapons are magical and blessed. Ranged users generally are the ones that encounter issues with this.
- Have your group individually meet inside the first mist safe room. This will help prevent the crazy initial swarming when you first enter.
- Make sure your first-timers know about the REIM verb and how the flagging system works.
- Don't wait around in the very first room of Reim! The first area swarms much more easily than anywhere else in Reim. MOVE IT!
