This Achievement section is for the achievements related to the Dragons of Norrath expansion.

Dragons of Norrath was the 9th expansion, released February 2005.

A big GM Event took place (called 'War!'), that progressed the game into Dragons of Norrath (such the Firiona View zone being taken over). The War took place in 2005, both before and after the Dragons of Norrath was released.

Dragons of Norrath added:

• The original (Standard) Guild Hall (not to be confused with the placed Guild Halls);
• Guild Bankers;
• The Guild Portal;
• The Guild Lobby;
• "Buff Stoppage" (buffs do not count down while in certain zones like the Guild Lobby / Guild Hall);
• The in-game E-Mail System;
• Barter / Buy alternative and the Barter Zone;
• Corpse Summoners (in the Guild Lobby);
• The Bandolier;
• The Potion Belt (now obsolete).
• New Interactive World Map (Atlas View) A full-color interactive map of the world allows players to point-and-click from a world view, to a continent view, to a zone view of the traditional line maps. The "M" key now opens the map. 
• Shared Tasks (Missions): Missions make use of a new shared task system that shares space with the Task window (Alt-Q). You can manage the players in your shared task from the new Shared Task tab in the Task window.
• Guild 'Looking for Members' / Players 'Looking for Guild' Tool - (Bulletin Boards in the Guild Lobby). Allows guilds to recruit by placing persistent "ads" on bulletin boards, search for player characters who match guild criteria and send in-game emails to those members; or, allows players to find guilds recruiting members.

Dragons of Norrath also had the first 'hidden' Alternative Advancement (AA) categories, meaning they were not visible until at least one Level of the AA was earned. This was likely due that the AA's were earned (not purchased); they actually changed what they were called with each level and because there were good and evil version; and only one of which players could pursue and max out.

It sold for $29.99. and included a special in-game item (does anyone know what it was?). There was a retail boxed edition that included some sort of in-box collectible item (does anybody know what it was?).

Achievements listed in the below sections are not necessarily listed in alphabetical order. They are generally listed in the order seen in the game (at the time they were added to the lists below). Use Control-F to "Find" a specific achievement that you may be looking for.

NOTE: Any rewards highlighted in YELLOW might be worth pursuing, due the fun factor, benefit or usefulness of the reward (you decide).

NOTE: Some miscellaneous “hints” may also be included in PURPLE. These hints are intended to enhance / clarify the "how to" for accomplishing the achievement.

NOTE: Anything in RED text is either an informational comment, or data / details that is not fully verified. If you can verify or provide correct information, please do (see end of page)!

NOTE: Items noted as a "REWARD" are items granted from the achievement, itself. Items listed as "ACQUIRED" are unique item's that can be / are / should be acquired along the way, towards completing the related achievement, but are not actually a reward granted from the achievement itself. In fact, the achievement may even be for acquiring said item. Additionally, only the more "unique" Achievement awards are noted below... "common" or "generic" Achievement Rewards like Alternate Advancement points, Character Experience & Coin, are not noted in the Reward options below.

NOTE: Hunter Achievements were added for a number of expansions (Gates of Discord to Underfoot) with the May 2021 Patch, and were modified / updated for errors in at least three subsequent Patches. 

All of the the below achievements should apply to all classes (they are not class specific).

RAID INFO & STRATS

The generic strats / info below are from successful raids that I was part of, from research and / or from what I recall. The below info should be adapted, as seen fit, by your Raid Leader. Key emotes may also be noted below. Raid make-up (classes, levels, Player skill levels, etc.) can and do make a difference on raid strategy options and winning or losing. In any situation, Players fulfilling their roles, using assist, and following emotes is always essential. There is always more than one variant strategy that can successfully defeat a raid. As Levels increase, defeating old raids can prove much easier and more forgiving (even as a group or solo / molo, depending on how old the raid event is). However, sometimes, certain mechanics still have to be honored. It has been known that in some events, due raid mechanics, too much DPS; killing MoB X before MOB Y; and similar, can bug the raid and cause it to fail. The below info does not include details on how to complete raid-related achievements. Those are noted elsewhere on this page, if any. Some of these targets may require 'zerging' into the zone get to them (killing stuff along the way). They may also have 'adds' which are often more like trash MoB's that in the general area. The original / older targets / encounters were pre-raid window events. Raids were more of a collective effort, or better, an extremely challenging group event. Any effects noted below  often 'scale to level,' so the effects can be lesser or greater than stated, depending on raid force levels. On Progression servers, targets can use 'Mitigation of the Mighty' (mitigates Spell Damage, Melee Damage and absorbs DoT damage), at least until such time as certain later expansions (typically, expansions that are at least seven-plus expansions after the expansion of the related target). While older targets are static open world (non-instance) events, there are now an Agent of Change in various locations that will provide instanced version of the same event (which are noted below, if any).

If I missed anything or got something wrong, let me know!

NOTE: Some of the below respawn timers are based on other targets in the same zone and / or expansion.
