New Underworld Area Tasks: Hard & Elite
Having some fun, down in Um.

Aspiring necromancers and denizens of the Underworld will be able to get their bony hands on the new Hard and Elite Underworld Area tasks today!

Wait "Underworld"? I thought they were called Um Area Tasks. They were but with the addition of tasks that take place in other underworld locations such as the River Noumenon and at the upcoming Sanctum of Rebirth we have updated the name of the task set and the reward.

Underworld Grimoire

Fresh out the oven are Underworld Grimoire 3 and 4, you will be able to pick these tasty tomes up from Kili and Crunchy respectively.

You will continue to get all the benefits of the previous versions such as teleports to the smithy and ritual site, free daily rewards from Lupe, auto storage of bones, increased experience and necroplasm from rituals, bonuses to impure rune essence crafting, improved necromancy potion brewing but all turned up to 11 and made even more convenient!

Check out the table below!
