Each biome cave opens as a '''second reward''' for fully clearing its biome, sitting beyond the [[Expeditions|Guardian]] fight, and offers cave materials, gems, and a handful of uncraftable, best-in-slot gear pieces found nowhere else. | ||

A cave opens once its biome is '''100% cleared''' — the same milestone that unlocks the next biome. Each cave also has a [[Delving]] level requirement that staggers up the biome chain, from level 1 in the Grasslands to level 90 in the Sundered Vale. A cave's difficulty sits between its biome's patrol and its Guardian, so it is a step up from casual patrolling but short of a boss fight. | A cave opens once its biome is '''100% cleared''' — the same milestone that unlocks the next biome.

=== The Amber Door === | |||
The '''Amber Door''' is an eleventh cave — a second, deeper site in the Sundered Vale that opens only once you hold '''[[Chronicles|The Sigil]]''', the reward for completing the Chronicles. It does not burn an ordinary [[Torch]]: each delve consumes a '''Deeplight Lantern''' instead. Its unique drop, the '''Echo of the First Warden''', is a live-effect relic — while held, roughly every fifth [[Excavation|dig]] runs itself for free. | |||

Every cave now holds a '''unique''' — a rare drop (about 0.2% per winning run) that cannot be crafted, bought, or found anywhere else. The gear uniques below are best-in-slot for their tier, making them the endgame completionist chase. The Sunlit Grotto (Glowworm Lantern) and Cinder Vault (Emberglass Idol) each gained a unique as well, and the Amber Door drops the relic '''Echo of the First Warden'''. | |||
