New enemies for Gildrook!
Barrow wights, giant spiders, slimes, an Alpha Wolf, and new sprites for the skeletons and zombies.
The Sallow Barrows have been sitting at the end of Pilgrim’s Path for a while with nothing in them. Six burial mounds and a vault, and not a single thing guarding any of it. Now there is.
Every barrow has two wights at the door. They’re level 40, a head taller than you, and they swing that sword overhead hard enough that you’ll want some food on you.
They were buried with their money, and they drop it: coins, silver and gold bars, gems, silver rings, and once in a while a piece of mithril or adamant. The new one is raw amethyst. Cut it at Artisanry 45, and at 46 you can finally make the amethyst star amulet.
Up the north side of the Gloaming, the old graveyard has giant spiders now, five of them around the ossuary. They’re level 24, slow to notice you and a lot quicker once they have. They drop spider silk. Hang on to it.
And for something friendlier: slimes. Green ones round the farm pond and Silverlake, pink ones down in the meadow below Ironstone Knoll and past the Wayside Inn. They bounce around minding their own business and only fight back if you hit them first. They drop gel, in their color.
Out in Thornwood, Hunters’ Wood finally has wolves, and one of them is in charge. The Alpha Wolf is level 32, half again the size of the rest, and when it howls the whole pack comes running. They fight together in the den, so bring friends, or a lot of food. It drops pelts, meat and wolf fangs.
The skeletons and zombies got redrawn too. The old ones were placeholders, and they looked it. They walk properly now, and skeletons drop an iron longsword instead of a shield, since they don’t carry one any more.
The barrows are a long walk past the Hollow. Go at dusk.
