Stone-talkers from the Ca-Uxith tribe have watched over Rockgrove's xanmeer for centuries. Although the stone stays silent, the chaos roiling beneath it could erupt at any moment. Before this occurs, a stone-talker will see the signs and prepare the tribe's defenses.
Rockgrove is a 12 person trial located in the southern region of Blackwood. Once discovered, you can use the fast travel network to return by selecting the Rockgrove icon.
There are two difficulty modes available for Rockgrove: Normal and Veteran. Players of any level can access Normal mode. Veteran mode unlocks when you reach level 50. Veteran mode is much more challenging, but has greater rewards to match the risk.
When you arrive, pick up the Of Stone and Steam quest from Dost-On-Scales. The quest is repeatable so you can experience Rockgrove as often as you like but remember, you can only receive the rewards from this quest once per week.
To access this zone you must own the Blackwood DLC.
