This dungeon also requires either The Witch Queen Deluxe Edition or the The Witch Queen Dungeon Key.

(The Dungeon Key is available to purchase from Eververse for 2000 Silver. The Dungeon Key grants access to all dungeons included with The Witch Queen Deluxe Edition, Duality and Spire of the Watcher).

Yes, loot may be farmed. Meaning you will continue getting dungeon drops from every encounter completed.

Once a new dungeon arrives, Spire of the Watcher will most likely be added to the dungeon rotator. The dungeon rotator features a different dungeon every week and awards a Pinnacle drop upon completion for the week (one per character, weekly) and legendary gear may be farmed when it is featured).

  • The weekly pinnacle reward and exotic bow only drops once per week, per character.

  1. Reestablish Power
  2. Ascend the Spire
  3. Akelous, the Siren’s Current
  4. Persys, Primordial Ruin

The final encounter grants two different engrams drop Non-Pinnacle and Pinnacle. Each encounter will grant one Pinnacle drop once per week and per character, after that only legendary gear will continue to drop from each encounter completed.
