The Aurum Vale
"Soon after its discovery, miners from across the realm flocked to the Aurum Vale, driven by rumors that deep within lay endless veins of mythril. What they found instead was gold, but not the sort which would make them rich. Believing the substance precious aurum, miners unknowingly stumbled into deep pools of glowing venom thereafter known as goldbile. Not only did the liquid burn their skin, but the noisome fumes given off by the foul ooze cooked their lungs when inhaled, bringing on a quick, yet excruciating death. These truths, however, have done little to prevent new miners from braving the suffocating shafts, now even more driven to find what those who entered before could not." — Game Description
The Aurum Vale is a level 47 - 49 dungeon located in Coerthas Central Highlands. It requires a light part of 4 players. The Aurum Vale can be unlocked by talking to Nedrick Ironheart in Vesper Bay, Western Thanalan.
