Of Special Note:

The Lost Gatekeepers

Update 46 brings a new adventure pack to the game! The Gatekeepers have established a new grove outside Stormreach, and some of the recently recruited initiates have gone missing. Throughout the five quests, clues will be found and followed to help rescue these would-be guardians of Eberron. The Lost Gatekeepers quest pack is level 3 on Heroic difficulty and level 32 on Legendary difficulty. The NPC for this quest can be found in the Gatekeeper’s Grove, which is located in The Harbor in Eberron. The Lost Gatekeepers is free to VIPs and will eventually be available in the DDO Store. Currently, all adventure packs and expansion content is available for players to play for free.
