Dranik is one of two daily expeditions created in September of 2014. Completion of the Dranik expedition grants 8 Hive Shards, which can be spent on items from Hive Queen in Stonehive. Some of the items from Hive Queen include Charm Prism Upgrades, Ultimate Augments, and Superior Lightstones. This expedition is divided into three separate zones. Each zone is further divided into sections by barriers that remove themselves once bosses, or specific tasks have been completed.

Other than the 8 shards, there are many benefits of completing, or even attempting this zone. The "trash" NPCs from these zones have a rare chance to drop Essence of Dragons Minor, Essence of Dragons Major, Essence of Gods Minor, and Essence of Gods Major. They also drop Charm Prism Upgrades, which can be used in substitute for v1 *OR* v2 Charm Upgrades for your Ultimate Charms. In addition to these, the experience is good, and items from Airplane, such as weapons and armor drop as well.

NOTE: Starting expeditions from public zones are bugged and should be initiated from an instance of Nexus or Stonehive.
