Excavation Site: Wetlands — announced levels 24–29.[1] Its announced setting lies above Whelgar’s Excavation in Wetlands.[2]

Availability

No opening of this later-level dungeon was verified in the written sources reviewed on 27 September 2026. See Beta guide for the documented test scope. The announced level band is not a confirmed minimum entry requirement.

Setting and access

The Forever client distinguishes the instance (map 2998, area 16732) from an exterior area (17732) in Wetlands.[3][4] The outdoor dig site and the dungeon should therefore be documented separately. No entrance coordinates or prerequisite quest have been verified for this article.

Beta client evidence

The difficulty record supports a five-player capacity (MapDifficulty 6012).[5] This is client configuration, not a report of a completed beta run.

Datamined encounters

The client associates these names with map 2998.[6] They are research leads, not a tested route or a statement that every encounter is mandatory. Mechanics, optional-event conditions and drops need separate evidence.

Client encounter name Record ID
Saltspine 3480
Shadetooth 3481
Highland Horror 3644
Relic Guardian 3482

Legacy connection

The client places this dungeon under Novice Spelunker in the Legacy completion criteria (row 230761).[7] Completion rewards and availability should be checked in the active build.
