The new event works similarly to the Sludgenest and volcanic caldera events: the zone entrance will appear when you enter the wilderness zone at level 24 or higher (when the encounter would be generated), in one of the random areas where side dungeons normally get placed. For now I'm reusing the Elven Ruins tile for the zone entrance; I'm open to suggestions on that front.
And this one probably won't be going into ZOmnibus, as I can imagine that some would consider it cheating.
[Technical data:]
Code: Select all
Hooks:
Zone:loadEvents [to add our new zone-placing event]
Entity:loadList [to remove the existing now-or-never encounter]
? Not anytime soon, though; all my current characters are well past that point, and Eidolon willing, I won't be needing to restart any of them anytime soon. Maybe with an Ogre when v1.3 gets released?

? As I read the zone data, the quest zone stops scaling up at level 35, so my plan is to go in at level 40 or so --- maybe level 42, once I've got Draconic Body...
