The Abyssal Wyrm, Zamshir! He was guarding iron!

Please. Please. Please. Make it so he defends something worth your while. To come across him, which is by sheer chance, almost die and be rewarded with a single vein of iron is just not cool.

Yes. Upgrade all his iron spawns to mighty zinc.

My favorite part of killing dragons is getting access their horde of zinc and kicking around the stone and wood scraps of what was once a chest.

If only there was something that could be done, like making chests unbashable or applying a 'floor' to epic boss resource nodes.

How many times does a powerful beast need to die before it understands guarding valuable ore is dangerous to it's health? That's what it is, they finally decided it was a lot safer to guard iron then it is to guard adamantine.

If the chests didn't want to be bashed, they shouldn't have been trapped! They're asking for it when they smack you with an infinitely reloading trap of doom~

I hate those infini-traps. Yes. Bash them.

Now you know several days long there will be only Iron.

You are leaking FOIG!

However, také few days break from him and try again, you might find more valueble ore :D

Took a year break from the dragon. Still just gave me iron and doesn't appreciate me. Also called me fat.

I think we should take another break.

Imho loot should be divided into tiers and ore included init.

And each tier would spawn different spawn. Iron and zinc? Top boss would not appear.

Top loot? Top boss with additional guards.

This is of course how Darnoth spends his days up in Brogendenstein.

Mmmmm... Zinc.

Spent an hour or two wandering around looking for this guy.
He was guarding gold ore and had no chests at all.

Our running theory is he doesn't have treasures because he spends the first minute of the fight spamming Turn Undead.

I always assumed he had no treasure because being the abyss he wandered off from it one day and never could find his horde again.
