We are bringing a new type of queue to the preview server called The Reaper's Challenge. Each day will be a different map, with different variables modifiers.
Some combinations will be more difficult, others will be less difficult. Each one is different. More modifiers will be introduced over time.
Completing the daily challenge will give you a new currency which can be spent at the Priest of Myrkul who can be found in Protector's Enclave.
Let us know what you think once you've tried it out!

Also, is the daily reward currency (The Reaper's Mark) per character or per account?
Currently private and public queue item level requirements are the same.
Or are we "locked" into doing the challenge always on the same character if we want to accumulate 30 to buy the packs (similar to Hell Pit)?

It would be even nicer if:
- Greater Shard of Empowerment
- Insignia Powder
were added to the reward vendor too. You need 750 Greater Shard of Empowerment to upgrade 5 epic collars to mythic while they are hard to farm. You also need a cartel worth of powder to upgrade insignias/collars to mythic.
I have to agree with @sephiz#1200 regarding the rewards.
Many players that will be farming this will already have a full stable of legendary companions and mounts.
Making this new queue a reliable way to farm for Greater Shards of Empowerment and insignia powder would make a lot of players happy 👍
I would also love to see more capes and unique transmutes.
This is the mount
It just switched from LOMM to pirat hold.
While the mobs along the way were pleasantly difficult (we were only 4 ppl)
The bosses were way to easy
Reaper's Challenge Day 2
- Pirate King's Retreat: the dungeon level is now level 20, unlike the leveling version of the dungeon as 5. Just something I noticed not sure if it means a whole lot or not.
- The item level requirement for Reapers Challenge will always be 50k? Will it ever be lower or higher with different days?

However as there is Legendary Companion choice pack, I'd like to suggest adding Sharandar Companion Equipment choice pack with all pieces of IL 1300 and 1350 to the list, basically all the purple pieces from the collections.
Bounties in Sharandar are really tidious sometimes with all the rng involved and allowing us to buy those equipment pieces - even at price of 7 tokens - would be great.
The challenge disallows consumables in the dungeon, and this stops them being consumed in the challenge which is correct.
The problem is that you can consume them prior to entering the dungeon, or even by simply traveling outside the challenge and then returning.
more suggestive rewards for Priest of Myrkul below
- rare or epic mount collar choice pack
- coalescent ward
- epic or legendary insignia choice pack
Can we please get a perma-death HC version only available for The Reapers Challenge?
Rewards should of course reflect the risk.
Group Composition: Arcanist Wizard, Hunter Ranger, Soulweave Warlock, Justicar Paladin, Thaumaturge Wizard
Item Levels: 50k - 59k
Feedback:
- At 50k Item Level the dungeon doesn't reflect the difficulty in regards to the item level
- Health of bosses need to be increased. I say this because with this being considered a "challenge" there's no challenge if you can still blow through the entire dungeon in less than 10 minutes skipping mechanics. I think in order for the "challenge" aspect to be persevered and highlighted in the dungeon, the health of the bosses should be increases to reflect this 50k Item Level Challenge
Other Things I Noticed:
- With no health Regen, healing companions, armor enchant and weapon enchants that heal bypass this. Is this intended?
- With no Revives, Soulforge works. Is this intended?
- Is there a higher chance at getting premium rewards in Reapers Challenge since its "more difficult" ?

However, chest content at the end is neither fun nor decent.
Remove this rubbish, add there normal rewards and give the option to reroll.
Insignia Powder and legendary insignias would be welcome.
I like the rest overall
First day - LOMM
Group was formed by:
Bard dps 61k
Sw dps 60k
Paladin tank 60k
DC healer 62k
TR Assassin 59k
We wasnt able to use artifacts and mount power for the run.
It has been clear and linear as dungeon, but there are some place really really hard:
Arcturia:
-Arcturia's Wail
dmg taken should be reduce by 20%
Boreworm
-To much dmg from ENERGY DISCHARGE and also Discharge (rocks from the roof), and that make the dungeon to much hard. We tried:
1-all togheter at stairs and shared dmg, mean while healer doing its work.
2-tank got the mark and try to survive alone.
3-try to avoid the bid red areas from rocks and shared.
this dmg should be reduce by at least 15% or this phase will be a nightmare (we only wiped 1 times at this boss).
Trobriand
Electric Storm
The dmg of that attack should be reduced by at least 10%
In this attacks only tank survived, and we had astral shield (reduced dmg taken by10%) , Hallowed ground (reduced dmg taken by10%);
GENERAL FEEDBACK ON THE DUNGEON
these are the really problem in that dungeon for this content.
These dmg can discourage certains players...we was a full endgame party and we waste some scrolls of life, and i hardly believe a middle/or close to endgame players want to affort this.
FEEDBACK ON NEW QUEUE
Lomm is for sure for full endgame party, Pirate king retreat is for every kind of party.
Currency system is someone of really really nice and worth!
Lookin at rewards: I love that. Nice, gg! There are nice rewards for sure, but not enough in my opinion.
A lot of players already have the mounts and the companions on the packs. We just got them via lockboxes, AH and zen pack promo.
The majority of community asking on everywhere, youtube, twitch, reddit, forum also, for stuffs for mounts like shard and insignia powder, even if we all know they are one of the long goal u make for us! but we really need that stuffs, and all kind of players, from the newest/a bit skilled, middle and endgame players.
I could suggest you to add to queue shop those stuffs with a price like:
-1 epic shard (1 currency)
-1 legendary shard (3 or 5 currency)
-1 epic insignia (1 currency)
-1 legendary insignia (3 currency)
-1 mythich insignia (30 or 45 currency)
Or
- 1 epic insignia (1 currency)
- 1 legendary insignia (5 currency)
I hope u can consider my ideas for this new queue.
Always for this game and community.
Best regards.

I additionally first was very pleased to see Wards included, because the current state of the ZAX breaks the f2p model of the game and Preservation Wards are one reason why. But tbh the ones that can run the Reaper's Challenge (50k+) aren't typically short on Wards. So this unfortunately does not help the right tier of players.
Someone asked if we would do a perma-death version. Probably not, or at least not for a while. We want to make sure we keep the challenge more accessible than that. But a max number of lives is a modifier we've considered.
- MAKE REWARDS UNBOUND AND SELLEABLE VIA AUCTION HOUSE,
- Add new pet gear from Sharandar,
- Add equipment pieces alternative to the best in game at the moment (like give an alternative to the Devil's Bone Ribcage),
and non-related to rewards:
- Make sure that contents that will be affected to this challenge will be bug-free or at least without any very anoying "feature" and well working.
Thanks.
