Dranik is one of two daily expeditions created in September of 2014. These two expeditions (including Abyss Expedition) can only be completed once every 24 hours. Completion of the Dranik expedition grants 10 buzzing berries, which can be spent on items from Hive Queen in Stonehive. Some of the items from Hive Queen include Charm Prism Upgrades and Ultimate Augments. 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 10 berries, there are many benefits of completing, or even attempting this zone. The "trash" NPCs from these zones drop Essence of Dragon Minor, Essence of Dragon Major, Essence of Gods Minor, and Essence of Gods Major at a much higher rate than they drop in the zones themselves. They also drop Charm Prism Upgrades, which can be used in substitute for v1 *OR* v2 charms to upgrade base level charms from 1 to 50. In addition to these, the experience is good, and items from Airplane, such as weapons and armor drop as well.

Level 1

This is the easiest level of Dranik. The NPC's in this zone are leeches and rats. There are two bosses, "Squealing Underboss" and "Broodmother".

Squealing Underboss
This rat currently backstabs for 2.5 million. Unless you are able to take this much damage, you will need to either send a pet in first, or be willing to sacrifice one of your characters to kill him.

Broodmother
This gigantic spider is fairly straightforward to kill. Target, attack, kill, loot.

Loot

• Essence of Dragons Minor
• Essence of Dragons Major
• Charm Prism Upgrade

Notable NPC's

• Squealing Underboss
• Broodmother

Level 2

Level 2 of Dranik is significantly more difficult than the first level. The NPC's in this zone are leeches, mosquitoes, and centipedes. There are still only two bosses, "Kiss of Sickness", and "Clicking Commander"

Kiss of Sickness
Simple boss, in a room by himself, target, kill, loot

Clicking Commander
Gigantic bug

Loot

• Essence of Dragons Minor
• Essence of Dragons Major
• Charm Prism Upgrade

Notable NPC's

• Kiss of Sickness
• Clicking Commander

Level 3

The third and final level of Dranik. The NPC's in this level are oozes, tadpoles, and "mudmen". This level is also the hardest, and may take a bit of time for some players, as the mobs have much more HP than lower levels.

Lightning Spirit
Once entering the room with lightning spirit, all of your characters will be teleported to the center of the room. Lightning Spirit cannot be attacked. Instead, he sends out yellow lightning bolts, which if touched, will damage your characters. The way to defeat this "boss" is to dodge the lightning bolts. Each time the Lightning Spirit sends out bolts, he damages himself. After 6-7 "bolts" are fired, the spirit will die, without a corpse, and you can move on to the next part of the zone.

Stonecroak
This big frog has an enormous knockback effect, which will knock your characters across the room several times. Kill him.

Pusbelly
Pusbelly is the most difficult mob in the zone, and he does several tricky things. The NPC's surrounding Pusbelly will not be attackable until during the Pusbelly fight. He is able to charm the character on the top of his hate list (your main tank), who will then attempt to kill the rest of your crew. This can easily be the most deadly thing about Pusbelly. He also becomes invulnerable several times during the fight, at certain HP percentages, at which time he will "call" his minions to com attack. These NPC's are weak, but there will be lots of them.

Loot

• Essence of Gods Minor
• Essence of Gods Major
• Charm Prism Upgrade

Notable NPC's

• Lightning Spirit
• Stonecroak
• Pusbelly
