Dredge

Site Positioning

The Dredge site is part of the 500-site expansion plan. It starts by covering four search-heavy needs: mechanics, route planning, hidden collectibles, achievement challenges.

This site begins as a stable index. Future work should split it into specific quests, gear pages, map routes, system explainers, update notes, and video-led guides as demand appears.

Live Sections
