When tackling Arcane Realm dungeons, expect the same boss mechanics but with higher damage, added affixes, and increased difficulty. Without a solid understanding of these encounters, even the easiest dungeons can become major challenges.

Use this guide to prepare yourself, master dungeon mechanics, and confidently lead your team through Tarisland’s toughest PvE content.
