New Level 75+ Dungeon Enemies: Where They Are and Which Aggro  

Posted by Gwynplaine in , , , , , , ,

With all the old areas getting revised enemies and mob placements, things can feel disorienting for players who have been used to the same-old-areas for years now. Where are the new high level enemies to be found in each area? Am I going to have to re-learn where I'm safe from aggro and where I need to watch my ass again? What kinds of mobs are there? I've been wondering all these things myself so I decided to go out and see firsthand.

To view the entire post you'll have to click on read more. Most new mobs don't aggro unless they're a typical aggro type mob. For example Goblins, Skeletons, Scorpions, etc.aggro while the more usual "animal" type mobs don't aggro, (Crabs, Lizards, Bats, Leeches, Flies, etc.).

I labeled the sections "High level mobs/low level mobs", some of those old lower level mobs will still aggro a level 90 player. Don't think of this as a guide to safe versus aggro areas, it's for showing "new versus old" enemy placement. Also I didn't bother to check for resting aggro.

Areas listed are roughly in order from areas with the highest level enemies to lowest. ONLY THE MAPS THAT CONTAIN THE NEWER ENEMIES ARE SHOWN, if a zone with multiple levels and maps is not shown then that implies only old lower level enemies remain there untouched.
