¶ Viking Stronghold Loot
Custom items from Dungeon 1. The stronghold is the starter dungeon, so most of its relics are marked starter relic — cannot be mended or enchanted: they're meant to carry you to Castle Nocturn, not to endgame.

¶ Frostbound Tomes
Tier-I enchant books. Now roughly 1.5–6% from casters and elites (Viking Shaman, Raven Sorceress, Viking Sentinel, Living Cinder) — regular Viking Warriors, Drunken Raiders, and Frost Wolves no longer carry them. Guaranteed from the Raider Quartermaster, Cindius, and the High Priestess (on the Vessel's death); Asvald does not drop one.
| Tome | Enchant |
|---|---|
| Frostbound Tome — Protection I | Protection I |
| Frostbound Tome — Sharpness I | Sharpness I |
| Frostbound Tome — Power I | Power I |
| Frostbound Tome — Efficiency I | Efficiency I |
| Frostbound Tome — Unbreaking I | Unbreaking I |
| Frostbound Tome — Feather Falling I | Feather Falling I |
¶ Runebound Tomes
A rarer, higher tier above the Frostbound Tomes — real chase-loot enchant books carrying custom Emberstrike, Frostbite, or Stormstrike enchantments (each with I/II/III power levels). Combine with a weapon on an anvil.
| Tome | Source |
|---|---|
| Runebound Tome — Emberstrike | 8% from Cindius |
| Runebound Tome — Stormstrike (×3) | 8% from the High Priestess of Odin (on the Vessel's death) |
| Runebound Tome — Emberstrike / Frostbite / Stormstrike I, II, or III | Small chance (1–3% per tier) from Viking Shaman, Raven Sorceress, Viking Sentinel, and Living Cinder |
| Runebound Tome I | 5% from the Raider Quartermaster |
¶ Standard Gear
Starter equipment no longer drops "constantly from trash mobs" — as of the loot rebalance, only dungeon chests and boss kills reliably hand out leather/chainmail/iron armor pieces and starter weapons. Regular trash and elite mobs (Viking Warrior, Drunken Raider, Viking Shaman, Raven Sorceress, Viking Sentinel, Living Cinder, Frost Wolf) now pay out in currency and materials instead: iron, gold, diamonds, lapis, Small Repair Kits, Gems, Socketed Iron Gear, and Familiar Stones. See each monster page for exact rates.
¶ Sockets, Gems & Familiar Stones
New loot categories introduced in the same rebalance that removed trash-mob gear drops:
- Socketed Iron Gear — plain iron armor pieces and swords with an empty gem socket. Drops from several trash and elite mobs, and guaranteed from Asvald (50%).
- Gems (e.g. Sapphire Guard, Moonstone Balance, Garnet Might) — slot into socketed gear. Low-chance drops from elite mobs.
- Common/Greater Familiar Stone — bind to a summoning crystal to call a companion. Drop from elite mobs, chests, and bosses.
These appear to be shared systems used across more than one dungeon — check Items or Enchants for a fuller writeup if one exists.
