譯注：《指環(huán)王》英文原文：“The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as mithril was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction: they delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, Durin’s Bane.”最近的鄧版翻譯是：“矮人們對此閉口不言，但秘銀既是他們財富的基石，同樣也成了他們的禍根——他們挖掘得太貪婪，也太深，驚動了都林的克星，他們因而逃離?！贝颂帯癉elve”被翻譯成了“挖掘”，因此這個系統(tǒng)的名字看著怪怪的，但應當符合原意。。

“挖掘得太貪婪，也太深”說的摩瑞亞矮人們和他們對秘銀的挖掘，這最終導致了他們釋放出了都林的死敵和他們自己的最終禍根。托爾金的這句話也為我們的設計師們提供了關于最新的高等級系統(tǒng)的靈感。

Delving too greedily and deep speaks to the Dwarf-folk of Moria and their digging for Mithril, which led to their unleashing of Durin’s Bane and their ultimate destruction. This line from Tolkien also provided the inspiration to our game designers for our newest high-level system!

1、開始Getting Started

挖掘是一個在U34資料片《Before the Shadow（暗影之前）》的Mission中首次亮相的新機制。當你完成你的第一個《Before the Shadow》Mission后，你會得到一個特殊的挖掘?qū)毷痆Unnerving Zircon（令人不安的鋯石）]，這將引導你踏上更多挑戰(zhàn)以獲取更多獎勵的征程。

Delvings are a new mechanic debuting with Before the Shadow’s Missions. When you complete your first new Before the Shadow Mission you’ll get a special Delving gem called an Unnerving Zircon, which sets you on your path to additional challenge for additional reward!

完成任務將獎勵你一個“Delving Zircon（挖掘鋯石）”來增加《Before the Shadow》中任意Mission的難度到T1難度。如果你成功了，就會獲得下一個等級的Delving寶石，可用于激活下一個Mission到T2難度。完成T2難度的Mission將獎勵一個T3寶石，以此類推最高到T10難度。

Completing the quest gets you a Delving Zircon to increase the difficulty of any Mission offered in Before the Shadow to Tier 1 Delving difficulty. If you succeed, you’ll get the next tier of the Delving Gem, which you can use to run your next eligible Mission on Tier 2 difficulty. Completing a Mission on Tier 2 gets you a Tier 3 gem and the process continues up to Tier 10.

2、成功與失敗Success and Failure:

在挖掘難度的Mission中失敗，將返還你一個“破碎（cracked）”版本的Delving寶石。你可以在Mission兌換商處將此破碎寶石兌換成另一個同級的寶石。玩家如果愿意，永遠都可以將高難度的Delving寶石兌換成耕地難度的寶石，同時也可以用低級寶石加上金幣換取高級寶石。挖掘系統(tǒng)允許你掌控你自己的難度！

Failing to complete a Mission on a Delving difficulty gets you back a “cracked” version of your Delving Gem. You can trade this cracked gem to a Mission Barterer for another gem of the same level. Players can always barter a higher tier Delving gem for a lower tier gem if they wish as well, and players can trade lesser gems and some coin for higher tier gems. Delvings allow you to set your own difficulty!

完成一個Delving會獎勵你寶物、下一難度的Delving寶石和挖掘卷軸（Delving Writ），用于兌換各類獎勵。由于Delving系統(tǒng)可能······很困難，Mission發(fā)布者也有可能獎勵獲得他們出售的物品及其弱化版物品的幾率！獲得完整版級別獎勵的幾率會隨著你完成Delving難度的增加而增加。（譯者注：原文很繞，大意就是低級Delving也有概率獲得高級Delving的獎勵。）

Completing a Delving rewards you with treasure, the next tier of Delving Gem, and Delving Writs, which are used to trade for various rewards. Since Delving difficulty can be…well, difficult, it is also possible for Mission Givers to award chances at getting the items they sell along with reduced versions of those items! The chance to get rewards you would normally purchase from the barter vendors increases with the difficulty of the Delving that you complete.

3、能干什么What they do:

Delving寶石可以放在Delving Stone（挖掘石）里，其位于《Before the Shadow》Mission副本的門口，它會釋放惡意（malice）并增強整個Mission空間中的怪物！與普通的Mssion不同的是，惡意會每天變化，因此威脅增強的程度也會隨時間增強、減弱和改變。惡意越強敵人越強，獎勵和獎勵進階的幾率就越大！不過你得小心避免挖得太貪婪、太深，釋放出你自己版本的都林死敵。

Delving Gems can be placed into Delving Stones, located at the entrance of new Before the Shadow Missions. This unleashes their malice and enhances the denizens of the Mission throughout the space! Unlike regular Mission Twists, these malices rotate on a daily basis, so?the nature of the additional threat can wane, grow, and change over time. The greater the malice, the more potent the enemies are and the greater the chance for immediate rewards and advancement! Be careful, though, lest you too delve too greedily and too deep and unleash your own version of Durin’s Bane.

4、獎勵Rewards:

這個系統(tǒng)知道你想要更難的挑戰(zhàn)和更好的獎勵，因此它為成功者們提供了獲得與團本裝備相當?shù)难b備！Delving獎勵目前有2個位置最佳（BIS）的物品、等價于T3團本屬性但無套裝屬性的裝備、新的可選傳武Tracery配件、新的Tracery配件工匠圖紙、強化裝備的物品和更多！玩家可以與Mission商人對話以用Delving Writ兌換他們所想要的獎勵。

This system understands you want greater challenge for greater reward, and therefore offers the ability to earn gear that is equivalent to raid gear for those able to succeed! Delving rewards currently feature two “best in slot” items, armour equivalent to Tier 3 raid gear without Set Bonuses, new selectable Traceries for your Legendary Items, new Crafting recipes for Craft Traceries, items to enhance your gear, and much more! Players will speak to Mission Barterers to trade their Delving Writs for the rewards they want.

我們也計劃更新系統(tǒng)，以后的團本更新到T3難度后我們將引入相應的Delving系統(tǒng)獎勵，我們還有意未來把Delving難度引入不僅是Mission還包括副本等其他形式的老內(nèi)容中去。

We intend to update the system as well so that once future raids are released on Tier 3 difficulty we’ll introduce commensurate Delving system rewards. We also intend to add Delving difficulty to not just Missions but also other forms of previously-released content such as Instances in the future.

你將挖多深？
