Dungeon Information
The Ancient Port Warehouse (otherwise known as APW) is an underground gnome city that houses ancient technology and secrets. A war ensued within the subsurface of Telon and the forefather's of the gnomes fled to the surface and established the city of Mekalia. Professor Ziggi Hopton (known in game as Professor Hopton), was an inventor who dreamt of peace built the Warehouse to house all of the ancient secrets. He created Armored Suits so that his gnomes could build the Warehouse faster. All of the Suits were connected to the Core Processor within APW and were used to protect the inner walls of the warehouse. He knew that in his lifetime, he would not be able to achieve all of the goals he had hoped to achieve, so he built 4 machines which he called his "sons": Malachite, Ceulean, Aureate, and Vermillion. These 'sons' were not connected to the Core Process and were there to aid the other gnomes in the continued research and work. After the fall of Old Targonor, the Cartheon Army invaded the storehouse under the command of Admiral Chrykalis. During the invasion, the Core Processor went haywire in order to protect its creator. The Gnomes were forced to remain within the protection of Gnome City found deep inside the warehouse. Since this time, the Gnomes have been fighting a war against the undead creatures of the Cartheon, the machines that were suppose to protect them, and one of the inventors of these machines: Processor Vercel. Vercel, as wise as Hopton, did not share the same morality ideas as Professor Hopton and began to invent and develop corrupted versions of Professor Hopton's weapons. One of the worst of these inventions is the guardian known as I-99 Shiver. The Cartheon are now working to create a new weapon known as "Zeppelin" under the watchful eye of Senator Palpenipe. Admiral Malzath Chrykalis and his crew are working tirelessly to complete the Zeppelin while at the same time creating a plot to betray the Senator. Little does he know that the Senator knows of this plan but allows things to continue progressing with a watchful eye. The Gnomes, while cautious of unknown people, have begun to welcome the aid of outside adventurers who have come to the Warehouse in seek of fame, glory, and unknown riches. It is in your hands that the Gnomes have placed the fate of their warehouse and their people. Do you dare to stand against the evil forces of the cartheon, and brave through the many weapons that have malfunctioned and are now in your way seeking to do you harm to save the Gnomes? If so, collect your best warriors and proceed to the Ancient Port Warehouse where many trials and tribulations await you. Succeed, and you will reap the rewards of your frivolous search with untold fame, fortune, and countless riches.

Notes
Avoid the grates on the floors as you venture through this dungeon. They will release toxic gasses that will deal large amounts of damage. If you encounter a Fire mob and an Ice mob during the same battle, be sure to separate the two mobs by at least 25 meters to avoid taking heavy damage. Do NOT use any Arcane based spells against any of the "B" series mobs ("B" series refers to the golems which have a "B" before the number...such as "B42"). This includes any weapons that have an Arcane proc on them. Doing so will result in massive AE damage that can wipe a raid. Each Armor mold required a certain amount of Hoptonian Ore and either a Hoptonian Rivet or Hoptonian Thread to assemble it into a piece of wearable armor. Here is a list of what pieces require what: ARMS - 1 Ore, WAIST/WRIST - 2 Ore, HAND/HEAD/FOOT - 3 Ore, SHOULDER/CHEST/LEG - 5 Ore. Check the "armor list" section to see the armor outcomes for each class type.
