BALLADS OF ZIMARA
Calamitous impacts upon Norrath were but an overture to the songs of strife and oppression ringing out from the Plane of Sky. Norrathians, venture to the firmament lands in hopes of wresting lasting peace from a despotic foe, the Djinn Sovereign, and his growing army of metallic djinn!
In the wake of disastrous impact events near shoreside communities, Norrath's exceptional adventurers and artisans find themselves swept up in a raging struggle for survival in the skies far above! Splendor Sky Aerie, the hooluk’s secluded nest lands, is being invaded.
Securing peace for them will mean venturing where few have ever dared - Zimara Breadth, within the deteriorating Plane of Sky! Here, the legendary Djinn Sovereign, commands a ruthless army made up of djinn of all sorts, including something never seen before - maedjinn.
These metallic djinn may just hold the clue to his downfall though, when the figure tied to their creation within the Aether Wroughtlands is revealed to be a captive, held deep within Vaashkaani, Alcazar of Zimara. The opulent palace is both throne and dungeon!
But is freeing the captive in our future? Can the Djinn Sovereign be defeated? And what of his vast army of maedjinn? The answers are found within the Ballads of Zimara!- Adventure and Tradeskill level increase to 130

CHRONO DUNGEONS
What are Chrono Dungeons?
Chrono Dungeons are a way for characters to be able to re-experience historic dungeons using their current character and stats and earn meaningful rewards.
How to use Chrono Dungeons?
Using a Chrono Dungeon bauble within a persistent instance that may be experienced as a Chrono Dungeon will transform the zone into a Chrono Dungeon. This will buff the difficulty and level of the encounters within the zone to the level designated by the Chrono bauble used. Normal encounters will be increased to the level of the bauble plus one, while boss creatures will be increased to bauble level plus three. For the currently available baubles, that means bosses will be level 133 and other encounters will be level 131.
The character that consumes a Chrono bauble will be granted a “Chrono Commander” daily mission. All characters within the zone, including the initiator, will be granted one of three “Chrono Companion” daily and weekly missions. Which “Chrono Companion” mission you are given is based on received the best one you currently have available. The primary Chrono Companion mission is an eight hour lockout and rewards the most, the secondary mission is on a two hour lockout and rewards lesser rewards, the tertiary companion mission is on a 15 minute lockout and rewards the least. The Chrono Companion weekly missions are singular and may only be completed once per week.
Can groups participate in Chrono Dungeons?
Chrono Dungeon group size is determined entirely by the zone you convert to a Chrono Dungeon. Thus if you use a Chrono Dungeon bauble in a heroic zone you will be able to experience that zone with up to six other players.
Can raids participate in Chrono Dungeons?
Zones that allow more than 6 players are not currently eligible for Chrono Dungeons.
How often can you use a Chrono Dungeon bauble?
You can only consume a Chrono Dungeon bauble when you have an available Chrono Commander daily mission, so once every 24 hours. You may join others to participate in their Chrono Dungeons receiving Chrono Companion missions as long as you have an available zone lockout on the zone. See below for the limitations on how often you can receive specific Chrono Companion missions.
How do you complete Chrono Dungeon Missions?
Completing the missions is straight forward, you simply need to defeat bosses within a Chrono Dungeon. The base number you need to defeat is three, however the more boss encounters you defeat the more rewards you get. For example, defeating three bosses will reward you with the Fragments of Time currency, but if you defeat five bosses you will receive an increased currency reward, incrementing up from there every five boss encounters up to twenty.
Once you have completed the initial stage of the mission (defeat 3 encounters) simply zoning out of your Chrono Dungeon will complete the quest and trigger the rewards to be granted. The only encounters that will increment your mission are the ones in the instance you obtained the mission in, you will not be able to defeat two bosses in one instance, reset your zone, then defeat one more and have it count toward your quest updates. Once you have earned your reward, you can spend them with Nemok Time-Touched, the Chrono Dungeon Merchant in Splendor Sky Aerie.
Where are Chrono Dungeons located?
The current zones available are solo and heroic dungeons from The Shadow Odyssey, Sentinel's Fate, and Destiny of Velious expansions.
ADVANCED RESEARCHERS
Characters with access to Ballads of Zimara will be able to access several advanced researchers to aid their progression through the expansion. Each advanced researcher has their own list of things that can be researched, all with their own list of requirements. While several of them are a simple progression, such as the new Companion Researcher which lets you research familiars and mercenaries, others require that you first complete pre-requisites to research some or all of their lists.
Research takes time, because thinking is hard. Science! However, most researchers will also be able to be sped along with research reducers, some of which can be found in Season 5 Overseer content, while some may only be found from Ballads of Zimara missions, such as the daily tradeskill mission.
There are some researchers who offer account-based research, such as the collection, mount, and upgrade researchers, meaning you may only research a single item on the entire account at one time. Some of these account-based research, such as the collection or mount researchers, will then allow purchase for those items for alts.
