A dungeon for a crew of up to five, by the Wreckers' ship at the big pier: three wings and three bosses, on a clock. Beat the clock and the key that started the run climbs, as in the Wreck, the Orchard and the Gloamhollow. Opens at level 10.
Every wreck on this coast began with a light. The Wreckers keep theirs burning blue at Falselight Harbour, in a cove the island cannot see.
The fire that wrecked the Captain's ship still burns on its tower. Board the Wreckers' ship at the big pier, and put it out.
The Wreckers' ship lies at the big pier, along its seaward rail, once the harbour takes crews.
Press G at the foot of its gangway (or right-click the gangway) to gather a crew. It wants level 10. A crew runs Falselight Harbour when the key that starts the run points here (your key).
Kill all 3 bosses and reach 360 enemy forces; the forces and the bosses can come in either order. The map holds 418, the main path 324, so 36 more come from the side areas (the Net Lofts 48 and the Rope Walk 46): the Net Lofts and the Rope Walk each make up the rest alone. Only the packs on the map count, not a boss's adds.
Fall and you rise at the last lit checkpoint (the arrival pier, the Seal Slip's gates and the Tally House's west door): the first is lit from the start, and each of the others lights when the boss before it dies. The clock never stops.
A boss's doors seal 7 s after the pull, until it falls: be inside by then. If nobody in its room is left standing, it returns to its post, healed, and the doors open.
Timed, your key climbs +1 in par (26:00), +2 under 20:48 and +3 under 15:36, then draws its next dungeon at random (maybe Falselight Harbour again). Over par it drops one and draws again. A wipe does not end a run here: the crew rises at the last lit checkpoint. If everyone leaves, or the run is still going after an hour, the key drops one and stays in Falselight Harbour. If every line in the run dropped (an outage), the key is kept as it was only if nobody had left the run by choice or been removed from the crew and it was still within par; otherwise it drops one and stays in Falselight Harbour. A server restart keeps it as it was.
The key of the character that starts the run moves: how a run moves a key. Each boss has a hard enrage: Ballast and Mag Tallow 5:00, The Three Shares 5:15, Wreckmaster Morrow 6:00. From key 12 every death adds 15 s to the clock.
Your loot is in your bag at once: a won run shows your pieces as pop-ups, and chat has the result with a Run summary link and a line for each crewmate who got something. The dungeon then stays open for 5 minutes: the enemies are gone, the fallen stand up where they lie, and you can walk about. The run card shows Leave dungeon, which takes you out to the foot of the Wreckers' gangway at the big pier at once, and “Closes in” with the time left; warnings come at 1 minute and at 10 seconds. Then everyone still inside is back at the gangway.
Enemies get tougher every key: their health grows 2% a key to key 5, 3% to key 10, 14% to key 15, 3% to key 20, 20% to key 22 and 45% from key 23, and their damage 10% a key to key 5, 11% to key 10 and 3% from key 11.
Each kind of blow also has its own dial. A move that shows on the ground first hits twice as hard at keys 1 to 3, 25% more at key 4, 6% more a key to key 10 and 16.5% more a key from key 11. A plain swing hits 1.5 times as hard at key 1, 11.5% more a key to key 10 and 3.5% more a key from key 11. A move that takes a share of your health takes the same share at keys 1 to 10 and 15.5% more a key from key 11. The Gore, Capstan Blow and Hook Staff hit as the harder of a ground move and a plain swing, the ground move's dial stopped at key 10. Every blow also grows with the health the gear worn at a key gives: 14% at key 2, 27% at key 10, 39% at key 15.
In Falselight Harbour its packs (not its bosses or their adds) also gain 6% more health a key from key 9 to key 15, on top of the key's own growth.
New twists join at keys 4, 7, 10, 12 and 15, and enemies learn new moves along the way.
The week's twists join here too, by the key.
Kegs of powder stand by some of the packs. A hit aimed at one lights its fuse, and the blast hurts Wreckers and crew alike: blow them on a pull, not on yourselves. You will find them on the Long Quay, Salvage Row and the Breakwater.
A keg's fuse burns 2.5 s. Its blast takes 30% of the health of every Wrecker within 5 m and 20% of yours. It lights the kegs within 4 m 0.5 s later; a chain hits each body once.
A stone quay along the south shore: hull-house warehouses, cranes with Harpooners up on them, and the Seal Slip at its end.

A tusked bull seal in a salvage harness, a hooded lantern between his tusks: walked along the cliffs at night, he looks like a ship riding at anchor. Mag Tallow keeps him, from her cart.
Turn his tusks away from the crew, and take him back after every Lunge. Give him room when he rears.

Three Wrecker captains share out the plunder at a keel laid flat as a table: Captain Doane, the Lion's Share; Captain Ivy Crane, the Hook; and Purser Venn, who keeps the ledger.
Doane is yours. Keep his maul turned away from the crew, and step out when he brings it down on the floor.

The chief of the Wreckers, who lit the false fire that wrecked the Captain's ship. He keeps the beacon on top of the tower, a lantern-hook staff in his hands.
Keep his staff turned out to the rim and walk him round the mast ahead of the beam. Stand still while he swings: the cone turns with you.
The beam and his lights hurt in bursts. Mind the beam yourself, or it walks you into the fire.

From the beacon's stoking on: a pot of oil at someone's feet, a ring, then blue fire that burns for a long while. Step out, and keep the fight off it.
When: From the stoking on, every 15 s at one of the crew · Warning: A circle of 3 m where it lands; 1.5 s to get clear (he holds it drawn back) · Effect: Blue fire there for 20 s: 3% of your health a second
The beacon's beam turns slowly round the crown. Keep ahead of it together: caught, you are walked toward the fire and burn while it is on you, and each time it catches you it burns you harder.
When: From 0:15 into the fight · Warning: A 40° wedge of light from the mast to the rim, turning 6° a second; its leading edge shows 1.5 s ahead · Effect: Caught, you are Lured: stunned 2 s and walked toward the mast at 2 m a second, losing 4% of your health a second while in it. Each catch adds a Scorched stack for 40 s; each stack past the first burns you as much again
The ground at the foot of the mast burns while the fire is lit. Stay off it.
When: While the fire is lit · Warning: The ground within 4 m of the mast · Effect: 3% of your health a second
He leaps up to the fire, out of reach. The beam splits in two, and Lampmen climb onto the crown and walk to the mast: each one that gets there makes the fire burn hotter for the rest of the fight.
When: At 65% health · Effect: He leaps to the fire for 10 s, out of reach, and the beam splits in two. 4 Lampmen climb on and walk to the mast in 25 s; each that gets there makes the beam, the burning foot, his lights and his oil 10% stronger for the rest of the fight
Near the end, stand at a reflector to turn it: the beam is thrown back on him, and for a few seconds he cannot use his moves and takes more damage. Turn all four together and the fire goes out for a while: he takes double damage, and Scorched is cleared.
When: At 30% health · Warning: Stand 3 s at a reflector to turn it; it then rests 20 s · Effect: The beam turns back on him: Glare-Struck for 6 s, none of his moves and 50% more damage taken. All four turned within 20 s put the fire out for 15 s: no beam, no burning ground, Scorched cleared, and he takes twice the damage
At 6:00 the fire takes the whole crown, and his blows hit 3 times as hard, doubling every 5 s: no healing outlasts it.
When: At 6:00 into the fight · Effect: The beam fills the crown: at least 12% of everyone's health a second, wherever they stand. His blows: twice as fast, 3× the damage, doubling every 5 s
The four dungeons share one table, split by slot: the Gloamhollow drops weapons and trinkets, the Wreck off-hands and heads, the Overgrown Orchard bodies and backs and Falselight Harbour necks and rings. A piece drops where its slot does, whichever dungeon it was made for; below key 10, the pieces in one grid below are even odds, among those your class can wear.
16 at key 1, rising 3 a key to 58 at key 15, and stopping there. That is 3 above the Wreck and the Overgrown Orchard. Wearing a piece needs level 10.
From key 10, every slot comes in two versions for each class, each with its own stat order. A piece is one of its owner's two versions at even odds, then one of that version's pieces at even odds (a version can hold more than one piece). In the Wreck, the Overgrown Orchard and Falselight Harbour, from key 10, one armour piece in six (a head, body, back, neck or ring) drops in another role's version instead.
From key 10, every run you finish in any of the four dungeons gives you a 0.1% chance at your own class's legendary: its weapon or its trinket, at even odds, item level 60.
Each person's own: Black Pearls on a timed run (1.5, 1.5 more under 80% of par, 1.5 more under 60%; a half pearl is a coin flip; none for a run 4 or more levels below your best there), and the week's sure piece for your first timed clear of the week at your best level there or higher, one a week in any dungeon. Mastery pays as in the Wreck, ×3 on that clear.
The crew's pieces by the run's result and the crew's size. A smaller crew gets the same share a person, rounded up. Everyone gets the same whole number of pieces and the rest go to different people at random; each piece is made for its owner's class, and people who left get none.
| The run | a crew of 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| timed +1 (within par, 26:00) | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| timed +2 (under 20:48) | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| timed +3 (under 15:36) | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| over par | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| not finished (a wipe ends a run in the Wreck and the Orchard; here a run ends when everyone has left or an hour has passed) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Above key 15, each level adds a piece to a timed run's loot:
| a crew of 5, timed | +1 | +2 | +3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| key 15 and below | 3 | 4 | 6 |
| key 16 | 4 | 5 | 7 |
| key 17 | 5 | 6 | 8 |
| key 18 | 6 | 7 | 9 |
| key 19 | 7 | 8 | 10 |
| key 20 | 8 | 9 | 11 |
Keys 1 to 9
Keys 1 to 9
Each class's two versions of each slot, by their owner's class:
Five of the necks and rings are Falselight Harbour's own and drop nowhere else:
Keys 1 to 9
From key 10
A look, not an item: it has no stats. Falselight Lantern, a small lantern worn on the back, is a character's own from its first timed Falselight Harbour run at key 10 or higher. It can't be traded, sold or broken down.
Every finished run counts toward your rating. The in-game dungeon journal (J) lists every dungeon's bosses, abilities and loot.
