We have quite a few changes to SoD today as well. They are mostly focused on the Nightmare Grove activity. The only non-nightmare related change is Tarnished Undermine Real now drops from AQ raid bosses and caches!
The Nightmare Grove also gets some Reals, some AQ Temple and BWL gear drops, and its old gear got upgraded to interact with the Signet Ring. There’s plenty more changes for the event so let’s dive in.
