[h3]Plague Island[/h3]
Adventure awaits you on a gloomy island that has long been consumed by plague. Endless diseases and epidemics have left a serious imprint on the flora and fauna and the lifestyle of local residents. Staying in most areas is dangerous not only because of the starving critters and the risk of infection, but also other travelers trying to survive and get their hands on Morbium.
[h3]Morbium and other Plague Island rewards[/h3]
Morbium (Ore of the Dead) - a valuable resource with which you can endow your blade or armor plates with special properties. Equipped with morbium, you can defeat even the most powerful critters on Plague Island. You will also need this equipment on the main continent to become stronger in PvE and PvP battles.
But Plague Island is rich not only in the Ore of the Dead, but you can also get leprous hides and organs, grim wood, spores, arsenic, and many other materials, minerals, and herbs useful for almost all professions. Use new materials to construct improved production buildings, storages, and gloomy decorations for your territory. Craft new ingredients, medicines, and equipment. Get unique pets and mounts!
