Carry and detonate explosives to demolish the cave-in debris while avoiding tunneling devourers is a level 80 event that occurs in Prospect Valley at the entrance of Prosperity Mine in the Town of Prosperity, during the hourly Sandstorm! meta event in Dry Top. The event appears at the start of the meta event (ie. 40 past the hour), and again at 50 minutes. The entrance to the mine has caved in, and Explosives must be carried and planted to clear the debris, while avoiding the Tunneling Devourers emerging from the ground. The blocked entrance can overlap into the following Crash Site meta and prevent the group event to rescue injured Zephyrites inside the mine from occurring.

Walkthrough[edit]

Pick up a bundle of Event cog (map icon).pngExplosives from the nearby crates by the Reinforce Armor (map icon).pngAnvil in town if outside, or under the cart station if trapped inside the mine. Carrying the explosives removes all skills and gives the Explosives effect, slowing movement speed. Using a mount will drop the bundle, but gliding will not. Use the  Search.png Search skill to reveal traps indicated by red circles where Tunneling Devourers will emerge that will cause the explosives to detonate prematurely. Walk around them in order to make it safely to the debris to plant the explosive. The trap areas will change location throughout the duration of the event, so continue using the skill to reveal them.

Notes[edit]

  • Rewards no credit if a player is unable to detonate a single explosive on the cave-in debris. Players with high connection latency may find this event difficult.
