The Hoard Heart

The last ten floors, where every coin anyone died with ends up, under the dragon.

The ten floors

Each floor here has one fight, mostly against three enemies, and then a room. Health and armor are full again at the start of every fight.

Floor	Fights	Last fight	Room after	Enemy health	Enemy attack
21	1	Normal	Merchant	4651	396
22	1	Normal	Merchant	6232	517
23	1	Normal	Chest, shrine or forge	8351	675
24	1	Normal	Merchant	11,191	881
25	1	Elite	Merchant	14,996	1150
26	1	Normal	Chest, shrine or forge	20,094	1501
27	1	Normal	Merchant	26,926	1958
28	1	Normal	Merchant	36,081	2556
29	1	Elite, half the time	Chest, shrine or forge	48,349	3335
30	1	Boss	The run is won	64,787	4352

Enemy health and attack are the floor's standard enemy; each kind is a multiple of it (see the bestiary and the floor table). The chest, the shrine and the forge fall on floors 23, 26 and 29 in an order that changes each run.

Forked stairs

After some floors the stair forks and you pick one of two rooms. In each depth two of floors 24, 25, 27 and 28 offer a Warden beside the merchant, one more floor offers a chest beside the merchant, and floors 23, 26 and 29 offer a merchant beside their special room. A guided first run has no forks.

Enemies

The boss is Avarax on floor 30. The elite, Treasure Wyrmling, is the last fight of floor 25 and, half the time, of floor 29.

The Tally

Entering floor 21 posts this depth's Tally: 2374 gold, to be paid at a merchant before floor 30. Paid in full it pays you back in gems: 3 on floors 21 to 23, 2 on floors 24 to 26, 1 after that. Unpaid, Avarax fights up to 40% stronger.

Loot

What rarity a drop or an offer rolls depends on the floor. Chests, elites and (below the first depth) the merchant roll one step higher.

Floors	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
1 to 3	88%	12%
4 to 6	70%	26%	4%
7 to 10	55%	33%	10%	2%
11 to 15	40%	36%	18%	5%	1%
16 to 20	28%	36%	25%	9%	2%
21 to 25	18%	32%	31%	15%	4%
26 to 30	10%	28%	34%	21%	7%

Sets whose pieces first appear here: Starwrought, Wyrmscale, Cursegold, Kingsguard, Mawborn, Eclipse. Everything from the depths above keeps turning up, though Worn starter gear stops after floor 10.
