Dungeon - The War Within
The Stonevault
4 encounters, 30 boss abilities and 28 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
Machine Speakers maintain the Stonevault, a facility adjacent to their Hall of Awakening. Their former leader, Void Speaker Eirich, was recently deposed after becoming infected with Void corruption. While Machinists labor and loyalists patrol, Eirich hides behind his most fanatic and corrupted followers. Sequestered behind titan tunnels, he has undergone a terrifying transformation. To ensure he never ascends to power again, your swift intervention is required.

Loot Table Value
Every one of The Stonevault’s 28 drops is Bind on Pickup, so none of this loot can ever reach the Auction House. The table below the bosses is the complete reward list; its value is item level, not gold.
