Graff Gem Mines

Graff Gem Mines

Scene Difficulty:
Location:	Graff Gem Mines Entrance
Region:	Drachvald
Release:	Episode 1

Graff Gem Mines is a Tier 5 Adventuring Area.

Lore

Graff himself founded these rich mines long ago, and they have proven to be the most productive mines of the largest and most valuable gems ever known. Recently however, the difficulties with undead in the region have lead to their, hopefully temporary, abandonment. Rumors of Kobolds moving in to claim the mine's wealth have recently been heard.

A flooded cavern can be found within the mines beyond, which is occupied by a handful of Kobolds and Water Elementals who are defending a large deposit of crystals.^[1]

Trivia

Graff Gem Mines was part of the Grand Tour in Release 13 and could be reached via the Lunar Rift in Owl's Head.
For Release 43,the mines were expanded by adding a large cavern area that is infested with Kobolds and Water Elementals, and also encrusted with tons of crystal nodes.
In Release 67, Patch 1005, the Satyrs were removed from the mines, to more resemble a Kobold occupied Mine.
