The latest version of Dreadmyst brings two new solo dungeons, a dangerous new open-world zone, a dungeon speed run ladder, and spell scrolls you can craft through Transmutation. There's also a long list of balance changes, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes from the past two weeks of updates.
New Solo Dungeons
Two new solo dungeons have been added to St. Revere, expanding the endgame challenge for solo players.
Desecrated Altar is accessible by obtaining keys from Knight Maximus in the Undercourse. The upper level is guarded by Ebondeath, a boss who drops Godly items, orbs, and Magic Dust. Expect tougher fights and significantly more gold than the Undercourse.
Salmaster's Descent follows as the second half of Desecrated Altar dungeon, adding another layer of solo content to push through. This a challenging dungeon meant for high end players.
Solo dungeon keys are now soulbound, and bosses past the first tier, the barracks, will aggro the entire zone when engaged, so come prepared. Keys you don't need can be sold to any vendor for gold.
Thicket of Wyrms (New Zone)
A new contested zone called the Thicket of Wyrms has been added near Fireshear. This area is home to powerful enemies and is fully open to PvP. Enemies here can drop Draconic Treasure and even Flawless Diamonds at a low rate, making it a high-risk, high-reward farming destination. Killing another player in a PvP zone will now rob them of a small amount of gold, so watch your back.
Dungeon Speed Run Ladder
The server now tracks how quickly you clear dungeons. A full clear requires killing every NPC in the dungeon, and your time is recorded and displayed on the ladder. There is a separate ladder for each class. This applies to both solo and group dungeons. Solo runs must be completed without outside buffs to count, if you enter with buffs from other players, the run won't be recorded. Using Transmutation scrolls for cross-class buffs is fair game, though. Rewards for the fastest times are to be determined. 
Spell Scrolls
A new category of items has been added through Transmutation: one-time-use scrolls that cast abilities from any class. 
These are powerful tools that come at a high crafting cost, designed for two purposes, surprising your enemies in open-world PvP with abilities they don't expect, or squeezing out faster times on the speed run ladder. Scrolls can be used in the open world and solo dungeons but are not allowed in arenas or group content.
New Transmutation Recipes
The Transmutation system continues to grow with new recipes.
Flawless Gems
Flawless Gems can now be crafted by combining 5x Refined Gems with 5x of their matching Scroll V, plus 5x Magic Dust and 1x Treasury Gold.
Stat Scrolls
Magic Dust can be combined with tier +2 gems to create Scrolls of Agility V and equivalent scrolls for each stat type.
Divine Orbs
2x Magic Dust combined with 5x Major Orbs can now craft a Divine Orb. Arcane Orb transmutation now has an assured success rate.
And a new item has been added to the game....
Draconic Gems
A new tier of gems sits above Flawless. Combine 5x Flawless Diamonds, 5x Magic Dust, 1x Draconic Treasure, and Treasury Gold to create them.
