Hey there,
I'd like to propose some tweaks for these instances to spark player interest:
-Danuar sanctuary
-Dragon lord refuge
It seems like nobody is really diving into these, Danuar Sanctuary in particular. Diversifying PvE on the server would be a great enhancement. Relying on a single Christmas event for extendable weapons is poor design; players need more permanent avenues to acquire these important items for some classes. I'd recommend boosting the drop rate or adding extra drops in DLR (even composite manastone bundles would give a reason to run it). I know you aim to keep it retail-like, but consider adding incentives for Danuar Sanctuary. It's disappointing when an endgame dungeon collects dust.
On top of that, you could also check out Ophidan Bridge (PvE) or other lesser-known dungeons. Though eternals offer nice stones, not many players are interested. PvE shouldn’t just be a Sauro grind-fest.
Thanks a bunch!
