* Escort guildleves in addition to those listed above may be subject to adjustments in the future.

* In the event no one lots on an item, it will be lost when all party members leave the instance.
On rare occasions, a fourth treasure chest may appear upon defeating the last boss of the Labyrinth of the Ancients. This fourth treasure contains a Dimension Blade fragment that can be used to create the Savage Arc of Triumph furnishing.
Should this fourth treasure chest appear, all members of the alliance are allowed to cast lots.

It has been determined that pre-formed parties of three often have an unfair advantage in the Wolves’ Den. However, the addition of a solo-matching category would not only increase queue times, but hinder smaller parties that wish to participate together. Therefore, the following adjustments have been made to rewards based on party composition:
Players who register for the Wolves' Den solo or in a party of two will receive increased PvP Exp and Wolf Marks regardless of the match's outcome.
Players who register for the Wolves' Den in a light party (four players) will receive increased PvP Exp and Wolf Marks regardless of the match's outcome.
* Gear-related balance issues between beginning and advanced players will be addressed in patch 2.2.
The cost in Wolf Marks for the following items has been reduced.
