 |  Question = I was recently exploring the Mount Alphus Range for the wiki, which included the exploration of the Alfreth and Sylsfear dungeons. So I have to ask: was this dungeon planned on being included in the hub, but didn't make the final cut? If not, when were the Tusker and Revenant updated?
 |      Text = When the Hub was added several other old quests with similar mechanics were also updated. Many monsters that drop keys now have unique names and death messages. A few items have more information about what you do with them when you find them also. In general we did a pass on a variety of low level quests when evaluating what was going to go into the hub, as a result of that some minor changes were made to quests that actually didn't end up in the hub.

The general rule for getting into the hub was that there had to be a unique quest reward at the end and it was weighted higher if that reward was of a weapon/armor/jewelry type that wasn't already in the hub. This was after a much larger selection of quests were chosen based on difficulty and game play experience.
