Floor plan

Where the walkable floor ends, computed from the zone’s own geometry in the game files, with the 18 named mobs whose positions are on record plotted on it. This zone has 3 levels and they overlap when flattened, so the control above isolates one at a time.

Height

A line marks the edge of the floor — a wall or a drop. Doors, locks and one-way drops are not marked, and a gap is as likely to be a ledge as a doorway. 18 of these 18 positions land on the drawn floor, which is worth stating because the coordinates and the geometry come from different sources and both have to be right for that to happen. This drawing is derived from the game’s mesh and is not a copy of any published map.

01Why you come here

A full armour set in one zone. The Pristine Studded Leather line runs chest to bracer, AC 14 at the chest, and twelve of the sixteen classes can wear it.
4:30 respawns, the fastest in this series. Roughly twice as fast as Crushbone at 9:00 and five times Blackburrow at 22:00, so a named-clearing loop pays far more per hour here than anywhere else in the bracket.
Three keys gate the descent. You will not reach the bottom without them.
Everything is in aggro range of everything. From the top of the entrance stairs you can usually see four skeletons, each inside the others’ trigger radius. Pull one and you get four.

02The three keys

Three locked doors, three shadowknights. Every shadowknight drops its own key and every key below it in the chain, so the deeper you go the less backtracking is needed.

Door A

SK, Dark Elf male

−334, 183 · Splintered Wooden Key. West of the well, same room as Skeleton L`rodd.

Door B

SK, Human female

−552, −54 · Charred Bone Key. In the pit-trap room; opens the door across the hall.

Door C

SK, Ogre

−511, 152 · Smoked Glass Key. Opens the final door at the bottom of the ruined stair.

Shortcut

SK, Troll · SK, DE female

Troll at −372, −105 and the dark elf females on level three drop any of the three.

Two of the three keys are permanent. The third is not. The Splintered Wooden and Charred Bone keys carry no flags at all. The Smoked Glass Key lost its Temporary flag on 16 June — but the wiki's item record still shows it as NO RENT, and the classic prose describes it as a no-camp item that vanishes if you log out. Temporary and NO RENT are different flags and the patch only named the first. Treat a bottom-floor run as still needing to be a single sitting until someone confirms otherwise in game.unresolved
Every locked door searches your bags for the key, and rogues or bards with sufficient skill can click lockpicks on them instead. Both behaviours were standardised across the zone on 16 June.
Every key can be obtained from the dark elf female shadowknight on level three, so falling down a pit is never a dead end.
Two ways down without keys: the pit traps in the human SK's room, or the broken stair. The stair does significant fall damage — use the pits.
Key-dropping NPCs cannot be charmed (11 June), so there is no shortcut around the chain.
The doors are not the ones you remember. The 22 May patch made all Befallen doors properly pickable and added the note that they aren't all the doors you may remember — the door layout was changed from classic. Any classic map of this zone may be wrong about which doors exist.

03Named roster

Named spawn every cycle. There are no placeholders here. The percentages in the roster below are inherited from classic, where a named shared its spawn point with a placeholder. They are historical and describe nothing about this zone now. The patch note, and what else changed.

04Loot table

The Pristine Studded Leather set is the headline: six pieces, one zone, and a class list that covers almost every melee and hybrid in the game.

Befallen gear gained ornamentation sockets on 16 June. Items from this zone that fill visible equipment slots but were missing sockets now have them, so the Pristine Studded pieces can be transmogrified.

The boots come first. Skeleton L`rodd is level 11–13 with a 100% spawn in the alcove of the very first room. AC 6 with AGI +5 off a level-11 mob is out of band for the bracket, and it is the one piece farmable from the moment you walk in.

05Dangers

Everything is in aggro range of everything. From the top of the entrance stairs you can usually see four skeletons, each within attack-trigger range of the others. Pull one at a level where they still give experience and you get all four. The whole dungeon is built this way.

Sitting increases your aggro radius. Sitting, meditating or looting makes mobs attack from further away, and aggressive greens will attack a seated player they would otherwise ignore. Stand before looting.

Mummies cause rabies. Lesser mummies proc a disease on their melee target. Bring Cure Disease or eat the full duration.

NPC necromancers do not play by player rules. They cast while running, spend no mana and cannot be interrupted. They also con lower than they fight, and they flee early — which starts trains. Kill them first and fast.

Trains here come back. The zone is small enough that a train's frenzy radius covers most of it. When the person being chased zones or dies, the whole train walks back down and hits everyone on the way.

06Getting there

A small, partly hidden tunnel along the southern wall of the West Commonlands. At night an unholy glow marks it; by day it sits behind an upward-jutting sand dune and must be found by climbing.
Circle of West Commons (Druid, group) lands at the doorstep. West Commons Gate (Wizard, self) is the earlier single-target option.
Otherwise: translocate from the Butcherblock dock to East Freeport and run west through the Commonlands.
Bind at camp. With a 4:30 respawn and a key chain that partially resets on logout, this zone rewards long unbroken sessions more than any other in the bracket.
Befallen has personal instances — confirmed by a 25 May fix to the facing direction on entry. Useful given how small the zone is and how far a train travels.
Succor and evacuate drop you at −75, 35, the zone line to West Commons.

Measured in play TIER M

4 sessions, 04 Aug 2026 to 07 Aug 2026, 4 sittings. Measured from Shara’s log. Measured across 3 days, so the character’s level may have changed within the span — treat the landing rates as an average over that range rather than a figure for one level. Zone entered as Befallen (D1, Awakened). 71 kills across 26 kinds of mob; our own swings landed 96.8% of the time (277 attempts). Drops seen: +1 ×372, +2 ×83, +3 ×6. Faction moved: Befallen Inhabitants, Burning Dead.

What takes control away

0 stunning melee attacks were shrugged off, and 35 stuns landed anyway — every one of them from a spell. That gap is the point: an immunity to stunning melee attacks does nothing about a spell, and the character being measured carried exactly that immunity.

Spell	Stuns landed	Cast by
Holy Might	8	a Teir`Dal priestess (4), a Teir`Dal priest (2), a Teir`Dal shadowknight (2)

Counted from what the log recorded, not from what a spell is assumed to do. Resist rates depend on the character’s own resistances and alternate abilities, so treat these as what happened to one build rather than as a property of the mob. The useful part is the kill order: whatever casts the spell at the top of this table takes your turn away most often.

Plus 52 ordinary mob types over 2,310 swings, landing 7%. Not itemised.

What this is and is not. These are counts from one session, not rates. A drop listed here was seen at least once and nothing more — no drop rate can be read from it. Damage and landing figures describe this trio, at this level, against these mobs, on this date; a different level or trio changes all of them. Mobs that never attacked us and never cast anything are absent, because a log records what happened rather than what was there. Spell names are as the game printed them.
