'''Caves''' are the ten deep sites — one per [[Biomes|biome]] — explored through the [[Delving]] skill. Each 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.
'''Caves''' are the eleven deep sites explored through the [[Delving]] skill — one per [[Biomes|biome]], plus '''the Amber Door''' hidden beyond the [[Sundered Vale]]. 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.

Line 7: Line 7:
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.

=== 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.

Eight of the ten caves each hold one '''unique''' gear piece — a rare drop on a winning run that cannot be crafted, bought, or found anywhere else. Each is best-in-slot for its tier, making them the endgame completionist chase. The Sunlit Grotto and Cinder Vault have no unique of their own.
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'''.
