Update 16.1 - Swamp & Scale
The Swamp & Scale update introduces a new exploration to challenge your heroes - the menacing Forestfall Fen - as well as a new way to play old explorations - Exploration Events!

After revealing Jurrgal the rakshasa’s impersonation of the missing Lord Lightfinger, and defending the Lightfinger Estate against the pit fiend Kurgaloth, the Warriors of Waterdeep are sent to the outwardly calm patch of marshland called Forestfall Fen.
Behind the outer ring of healthy trees that hold back the swamp, Forestfall Fen is a world of danger and mystery, with new and updated dangers to challenge any party of adventurers.
All players will have a chance to explore Forestfall Fen through the Discover the Swamp exploration event, described in the next section.

Exploration Events let players replay parts of an exploration - from Sharpstone Keep to Heartcoil Deeps to the upcoming Forestfall Fen - and collect rewards from a custom Reward List. Players can revisit old adventures they’ve already completed, or visit new adventures still to be unlocked - and the monster levels are adjusted to match the party power for a fair fight (well, as fair as monsters fight, anyway)!
As a general rule, Theme Events are available to players who have completed the Frostsilver Mines adventure.
Playing an Exploration Event
Exploration events are found in the Explore section of the game. Tap the Explore button to go to your current exploration, and then tap the Special tab to see all the available Exploration events.
After choosing which Exploration Event to play, tap the Play button (and pay a cost, if necessary) to enter the chapter map for that exploration and begin playing!
Each node on the Prize list represents the reward for completing a dungeon on the chapter map.
Balancing the Difficulty
The monsters in an Exploration event have their levels raised or lowered to match the power level of the party.
The table below shows examples of a Hidden Forge event and a Heartcoil Deeps event with heroes at level 7, level 12, and level 20.
Replaying an Exploration Event
Once an Exploration Event is complete, you may be able to pay a one-time replay cost to replay the event from the beginning and collect new prizes.
Note: The replay cost is not affected by the Book of Bravery.
Replaying the event may change the available prizes and/or increase the strength of the monsters, depending on the event.
Discover the Swamp: The Forestfall Fen Exploration Event
The Forestfall Fen exploration will be released for all players over the course of a five-part Discover the Swamp event.
The ten chapters of the Forestfall Fen exploration will be released in 5 two-chapter blocks during this event.
Players will have a limited amount of time to complete the chapters and collect the rewards. The first playthrough is always free. If time remains, players can pay the Replay cost and replay the block.
When time on the current block runs out, there is a short break before the next block is activated.
When the next block in the sequence is active, players can play the new block, or complete any incomplete previous blocks in the sequence.
Once all five blocks of the Discover the Swamp event have ended, Forestfall Fen will be unlocked as a regular exploration after Lightfinger Estate. The difficulty will be set to its normal baseline - not matched to the party power - and players will collect dungeon chests and leader packs for completing each dungeon.
