Intro
Picture this: You've just wrapped up another successful expedition run and decided to take on your first mutation. You kick off a lobby, welcome everyone aboard, and suddenly chaos ensues. Players are dropping like flies, the tank struggles to maintain aggro, DPS seems to be dealing negative damage, the healer randomly places sacred ground on walls, and to top it off, everything is on fire (literally burning). As if that weren't enough, the friendly atmosphere in chat takes a nosedive, with teammates pointing fingers and debating whose fault it is that the expedition is heading south. Does this scenario sound all too familiar?
We've all been there, knowing that runs don't always unfold as smoothly as we'd envision. It usually begins with a lack of information about how mutations work and how to navigate the mechanics.Let's change that narrative! If you spot someone in your lobby struggling with the basics, be a gaming comrade and share this page with them!
Lesson one: Stay positive, it's just a game!
Homework: Join mutation and say somthing nice to your DD/Healer/Tank
Chapter 1. What's mutated exppedition?
Every week in Aeternum, something extraordinary unfolds, causing two (and sometimes more) random expeditions to undergo mutations. Mobs go into a frenzy, and new mechanics come into play. However, the stakes are high, and the rewards are unique. You get your hands on special drops and have the chance to rise to the top of the leaderboard on your server! It's a high-risk, high-reward endeavor!
Keep an eye on recruitment chat, you will meet a lot of good people there! LFM stands for Looking for Mates, LFG - Looking for a Group. And if you see someone asking for items link, that just becouse they worry about smooth expirience for everyone in group, don't take it personal ^^
Chapter 2. Know your enemies
In every expedition, you'll encounter a diverse array of enemy types, each with its distinct strengths and weaknesses. For instance, when confronting Genesis, prepare to face Angry Earth adversaries vulnerable to Slash and Fire damage. Meanwhile, in the presence of Lazarus, be ready to engage Ancients susceptible to Strike and Lightning. A keen understanding of enemy weaknesses is pivotal for executing effective combat strategies and achieving success in your expeditions.

Chapter 4. Mutation, Promotion and Curse
Embark on epic expeditions, navigating through three tiers of challenges: Intermediate, Hard, and Elite. (Or how players call it in chat M1, M2 and M3) At each level, encounter a dynamic array of modifiers. Mutators intricately define elemental damage and introduce crucial enhancements, while Promotions enrich encounter mechanics with formidable mobs. On the last level, woven into this adventurous odyssey are Curses, injecting an element of risk and complexity.
Brace yourself for the unfolding narrative of challenges and triumphs that awaits, ensuring every expedition promises an exhilarating and distinct adventure!
Chapter 4. Gear and Gearscore
Gearscore stands as a crucial determinant for success in mutations. As we're aware, mutations come in three difficulties, each with specific gear score requirements: 650, 675, and 695. It's imperative to meet these minimum requirements, as venturing into a difficulty with a lower gearscore not only diminishes your damage output but also heightens the damage you'll take. Uphold your gearscore to ensure you're adequately prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
Prepare your gear!
A solid gear setup is paramount for achieving success. Prioritize protective perks such as health, elemental aversion, and enchanted ward to fortify your defenses. Once you've established a foundation of full protection, shift your focus towards optimizing weapon perks and enhancing refreshing for a well-rounded and effective setup.
Choose wisely
Certain perks may have diminished effectiveness or provide no value at all in mutated expeditions. It's crucial to ensure that your chosen perks are tailored to enhance your performance specifically in expeditions. Avoid selecting perks designed solely for PvP (player vs. player) scenarios, as they may not contribute optimally to your success in the challenging mutated expedition environment.
