Antharas' Lair and Dragon Valley have been revamped. New Separated Soul NPCs live in Hunter's Village, Dragon Valley, and Antharas' Lair that can teleport characters level 80 and above between each of these areas. Separated Soul NPCs also offer daily quests for their related zones and can synthesize certain items into Antharas Blood Crystals:
Because Antharas' Lair and Dragon Valley have been revised, certain quests are no longer available or their related monsters have moved:
If a quest you were working on was removed when High Five launched, you can complete it and receive rewards for it by speaking to the News Informer NPC. With the exception of the quests mentioned above, any monsters related to quests in Antharas' Lair and Dragon Valley are now located in Watcher's Tomb. To view where quest monsters appear, check the quest map pin in your map window.

While hunting in certain zones, you can encounter the Lucky Pig. (It has replaced the Fortune Bug.) Lucky Pig is a flying pig with white feathery wings. When it appears, it shouts and approaches a nearby character at random.
Lucky Pig eats Adena dropped nearby and disappears if not fed for 10 minutes. You can feed Adena to Lucky Pig a minimum of three times and a maximum of ten times. Talk to it to determine if it's full. When it is full, Lucky Pig loses its wings. At that point, it may give you a reward for feeding it.
You can obtain a reward either by feeding Lucky Pig ten times or talking to it after you have fed it at least three times.
You can exchange Neolithic Crystals with a Dimensional Merchant to change a normal weapon into a rare weapon. (Dimensional Merchants are now functional.) To change a weapon into a rare weapon, you need to supply the Dimensional Merchant with the weapon and 1 Neolithic Crystal of the same grade.
Hunting grounds throughout Aden now have fewer Treasure Chests, but the rewards they give are better. They can only be opened through the Unlock skill or the newly added Maestro Key. (They can no longer be opened with Treasure Chest Keys.) The Maestro Key can be purchased from Grocer NPCs in each village or obtained through the Summon Treasure Key skill.
Treasure Chest rewards depend on both your character's level and the level of the Treasure Chest:
If you get no rewards from a Treasure Chest, the chest self-destructs and disappears.
If you are very lucky, you can obtain an Adventurer's Treasure Sack from a Treasure Chest. The three types of Adventurer's Treasure Sack you can receive are related to the level of the Treasure Chest.
