Crushbone
Crushbone Guide
Crushbone is an early optional item-grab stop after Mines of Gloomingdeep. It is not a long progression maze: the point is to hunt the custom `#` named orcs, collect their named-specific drops, and pick up early Blighted Shadowsbane armor pieces before moving on to Befallen.
Retlon Brenclog near the zone warns players what the zone is for: the orc champions are carrying glowing Blighted Shadowsbane armor. The zone script scales the `#` named into custom mini-bosses, with Emperor Crush and Ambassador D'Vinn as the strongest targets.
What To Farm
Most `#` named in Crushbone can drop the shared early Blighted Shadowsbane armor pool:
- Blighted Shadowsbane Bracer
- Blighted Shadowsbane Boots
- Blighted Shadowsbane Gauntlet
- Blighted Shadowsbane Helm
- Blighted Shadowsbane Vambraces
- Blighted Shadowsbane Leggings
Emperor Crush also has access to a higher armor roll that can include:
Named Targets And Drops
Orc Trainers
The two `#orc_trainer` spawns are the lowest custom named in the zone. They are good starter targets for the shared Blighted Shadowsbane armor pool.
Named-specific drop:
Lord Darish
Lord Darish is another early named target and uses the same shared Blighted Shadowsbane armor pool.
Named-specific drop:
Orc Taskmaster
The orc taskmaster is a low-mid custom named and can drop the shared Blighted Shadowsbane armor pieces.
Named-specific drop:
Orc Warlord
The orc warlord is a mid-tier custom named. Farm him for the shared Blighted Shadowsbane armor pool and his shoulder reward.
Named-specific drop:
The Prophet
The Prophet is a mid-tier named target. His table is focused on the shared Blighted Shadowsbane armor pool.
Notable drops:
- Shared Blighted Shadowsbane armor pieces
Emperor Crush
Emperor Crush is one of the two top Crushbone bosses. He can drop regular Blighted Shadowsbane armor pieces, has an additional roll that can include the chest, and has a named-specific tunic.
Named-specific and notable drops:
- Dwarven Ringmail Tunic
- Blighted Shadowsbane Chest
- Blighted Shadowsbane Leggings
- Shared Blighted Shadowsbane armor pieces

Practical Route
Clear through the keep and check every `#` named as you go. Start with the trainers, Lord Darish, and the taskmaster, then work toward the warlord, The Prophet, Emperor Crush, and Ambassador D'Vinn. The main reason to stay is to collect Blighted Shadowsbane armor and the named-specific item grabs listed above.
