The Pit of Erebus
The Pit of Erebus is the server's open PvP arena, and the only place Erebus Guards spawn. It is where several materials you cannot get anywhere else come from, and where other players are free to take them off you.
Where to find it
The Pit is reached through the /warp menu. It requires level 60, and it unlocks for the season once the community completes Fund III. See the Community Fund.
Fair warning: the Pit is a PvP zone and you do not keep your inventory if you die there.
Erebus Guards
Guards patrol the Pit and fight back properly — they are not passive mobs, and other players are hunting the same kills you are. Guard kills are the Pit's whole reason to visit:
| Drop | Notes |
|---|---|
| Crude Ore Cores | The Pit is the only source, and the input for condensed ore |
| Forge Fuel | Feeds cell forges |
| Orb of Moros | The most common of the rarer drops |
| Kill Tracker | Roughly 1 in 500 kills, now its only source |
| Emberfall armour trim and pickaxe trim | The Pit's chase drops |
| Trim Removers, weapon and armour expanders | |
| Mystery Boss Keys, Global Booster Boxes |
Bad luck protection
Erebus Guards are covered by the RNG Meter. You can track any of the chase drops (both Emberfall trims, the expanders, trim removers, mystery boss keys and global booster boxes), and every one of them is selectable from the start, without having to pull it once first.
Meters fill at 1.5× the average kills for the tracked drop, so the Emberfall pickaxe trim is guaranteed by 3,026 kills and the Emberfall armour trim by 505. Progress prints every 25 kills rather than every kill, and tracking a drop no longer cancels your Outpost luck on that kill's loot roll.
Version history
v3.0.0
- The Erebus Cap has been removed. The cap circle, the hold timer, the once-a-day loot claim and
/lmsare all gone. The Pit itself, its guards and their drops are unchanged. - LMS Guards no longer spawn. Regular Erebus Guards in the Pit are unaffected.
- Erebus Guards now drop the Kill Tracker at 1 in 500. Every other Erebus Guard drop rate is unchanged.
- The Stay in LMS task has been removed from Elite and higher clue scrolls, and old scrolls carrying it drop that task automatically.
- Erebus Guards are now covered by
/rngmeter.
v2.0.0
- Reworked the Erebus Cap: the per-minute Energy/Money/XP payout was removed — holding the cap became about fighting the Pit guards.
- The reward became a once-a-day loot claim for holding the cap ~5 minutes a day (was 15), giving 2 rolls from a modest pool.
- Removed the Raider trim from the cap's loot table.
