* BigBad: Each quest area has a boss who is leading all the other enemies, and usually reveals a major piece of information about the plot. These range from Chieftain Horgrak in the Burden's Rest area, to (as of the last update) the Frog-Men Assassins in "My Name Is...".

* DramaPreservingHandicap: Erebus the Black is weakened by Medea before the player actually fights him. Presumably, this leads to a much easier fight than it would otherwise, considering that the dragons fight later form typically stronger raids.

** The Zone 7 (Subterranean Depths) raids. The glyph items they drop create the relatively useless Burning Rain spell. However, subsequent crafts of those same items grant a whooping five stat points a piece, as well as Oroc Crystals which craft for an additional two. The damage required to get these items is also significantly lower than later raids. Add to it, the large number of people who summon them for specifically this reason, and you have one of the best stat point farms in the game.
