Overview
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.

Encounter Notes
- The first room of enemies can be problematic for inexperienced parties. There are several patrolling enemies that can quickly overwhelm the party if too many are engaged.
Boss Notes
- Note that the yellow liquid does damage-over-time to players standing in them, represented by the Goldbile debuff.
- Locksmith is the first boss of The Aurum Vale - this gigantic Ochu has several high damage mechanics that will test the capabilities of the parties' healers.
- Morbol Fruit will grow along the sides of the arena. Locksmith will cast a Gold Lung debuff on the party that cannot be cleansed by Esuna. To remove the debuff, players will need to click on the Morbol Fruit to interact with the item and remove the debuff. Players should avoid having more than 2 stacks of Gold Lung, as it will increase damage taken.
- After interacting with a fruit, it will disappear, and the player will receive a debuff named Morbid Meal which prevents eating another fruit for 20 seconds. The fruits themselves respawn over time.
- In order to click on the Morbol Fruit to remove the debuff stacks, tanks may have to stun Locksmith to avoid being interrupted.
- Coincounter is a giant cyclops that has powerful front AoE attacks, swipe cleave abilities, and a room-wide AoE lightning mechanic.
- All non-tank players should stay away from the front of the boss at all times- Coincounter has 2 types of "100-Tonze" cleaves:
- 100-Tonze Swipe and 100-Tonze Swing can be interrupted with stuns.
