'''Duskruin Arena''' premiered in 2015 as the first "unattended" pay quest, meaning no GM intervention was required to start the quest. Players purchased entry from the [[SimuCoin]] Store for 100 SimuCoins. The event is free to watch. Since its inception, Duskruin has expanded beyond the initial single-person [[arena]] battles and [[sewer]] explorations to include team battles, endless battles, and the [[Bank Heist]].

==Release Announcement==

Tucked away in seclusion near the [[Locksmehr River]] is place known as '''[[Bloodriven Village]]'''. Notorious to bandits, outlaws, and ruffians to congregate and do business. Located underground from the village, the infamous Duskruin Arena is a place of blood sports among the brave. Earn special scrip to buy a wealth of prizes. Many new items will be debuted at Bloodriven Village, such as scarring razors, pet rats, whisper cloaks, garrote knives, nerve staves, and much more! Be sure to stop out and view the interesting locales and people of Bloodriven Village!

Rumor has it, some couriers who smuggled goods and combatants into the village were ransacked. They were carrying coin pouches with bloodscrip and dueling slips, as well as simple handbills, to deliver to known fences around Elanthia. Be on the look out to find them in treasure chests while you hunt!

==Areas to Play==

* '''[[Arena]]''' - The namesake of this event. Battle it out against various creatures by yourself or with a group. Solo challengers can attempt to go the distance with with Duskruin Endless.

* '''[[Sewers]]''' - Not a fan of combat? Visit the sewers and search through the sluice for bloodscrip, flat etched stones, or various other items. With luck, a sewer scavenger may find a [[Sewer rat|pet rat]] among the refuse.

* '''[[Bank Heist]]''' - Added in 2018, the Bank Heist offers bloodscrip prizes, and is where players can get the pieces necessary to create a [[Bag of Holding]].

* '''[[Celestial Temple]]''' - Former home of the [[Duskruin Dig]]. This now serves as the site for players to join all the moonshard moons with the four-ringed metal pendant to create a [[MoonShard pendant]]. That's not all, though. Be sure to check out the caverns below for walls with secret songs, and follow the pathway towards the Demon Arena to find a special [[Bloodrune Holder|dodecahedron]].
