'''The [[Serbule Crypt''' ]] is a tomb inhabited by low to mid -level dungeon naturally-occurring Undead, although the further from the entrance an adventurer explores the stronger they become. The turbulent history of the [[Serbule]] region has left its mark on itthe crypt, with at least one powerful undead-mage binding itself and its minions to the site. Occasionally, locals will refer to the crypt using the name of the mage, warning travelers to avoid [[Serbule Crypt|Khyrulek's first floorCrypt]]. Despite the blight of undead the crypt unleashes into the region, descending into it's depths will the presence of those undead also bring you the opportunity to a mid-high dungeon sectiongather supplies, sorely needed by the Elven refugees of [[Dwyndarre]] being housed in the quickly constructed town of [[Serbule Keep]].

Equipment at level 15 may also be looted from these chests, and requires occasionally non-equipment items will appear. These chests are on a code one-hour timer. ==== Serbule Sewers Drainage ====During the establishment of the new town of [[Serbule Keep]], the [[Council Corps of Engineers]] opted to openspeed up construction by connecting the portal outlet of the sewer system to the nearby Crypt. {{HintThe engineer and [[Sigil Scripting|Check Sigil Scripter]] [[Sir Arif]] has established a "safe" area in the crypt protected by '''Explosion Traps.'''

==== Energy Key Prison ====
Deep within the upper floor of the [[Serbule Crypt]] is a prison designed by [[Khyrulek]]. The sole occupant of the prison is the [[Strange Spider]], a captured diplomat of the goddess of spiders [[Akhisa]]. While the prisoner is directly guarded by the fearsome [[Rhino Guardian]], another method is required to free them from their magical constraints.
{{Spoiler|Click Expand to view the method to free the Strange Spider.|
In the curved hallway leading to the Strange Spider there are three side rooms. Each contains an [[Energy Key]], a hostile electricity elemental. All three Energy Keys must be defeated within a short time limit to free the spider.}}
==== The Art Gallery ====
Near the entrance of the crypt, multiple rooms of artwork may be found. While these paintings potentially once depicted those buried in the crypt, they now portray a variety of subjects. Once removed from the walls, adventurers with adequate [[Art History]] skills can try to identify them. Despite being considered Vendor Trash by most, valuable identified paintings are well-liked by some NPCs. [[Lawara]], [[Sir Coth]], and [[Jesina]] are some of the easily encountered NPCs who like Paintings (or the broader category "Works of Art").
==== Khyrulek's Upper Room ====
Beyond the Art Gallery is a long corridor leading to a room with a raised stone platform in the middle. This room contains a manifestation of the lich fire-mage [[Khyrulek]], whose defeat grants passage to the lower level of the crypt. This manifestation is guarded by two large Rhinos and a plethora of Skeleton Archers. The portal which spawns when this undead is defeated lasts only a minute or two. It will disappear long before the foes in the room respawn.
==Points of Interest - Lower Floor==
==== Khyrulek's True Crypt ====
The lower floor of the [[Serbule Crypt]] is the home of [[Khyrulek's True Form]], a much more powerful manifest than the [[Khyrulek]] encountered on the upper floor. This form is flanked by another pet rhinoceros and can bestow a different curse. Beyond these bosses rests the [[Pulsing Crystal]], a magical crystalline growth displaying sapient intelligence which is rumored to teach [[Necromancy]].

==Tips==
* A common sight in global chat is for a player to call a "Necromancy Run" with the purpose of guiding a party of newer players to the depths of the Serbule Crypt in an attempt for them to learn Necromancy.
* Stacks of Spider Legs and Giant Spider Legs can earn be used to raise favor with [[Velkort]].
* Spiderwebs are worth 20 councils each, they quickly add up in value.
* [[Sir Arif]] offers [[Storage]].
== Trivia ==
*During the Alpha and part of Beta, [[Necromancy]] was learned directly from speaking with a Necromancy Altar on the lower level of the tomb. This method was later replaced by the [[Khyrulek's True Form]] encounter.
*Four chests were added to the dungeon in October 25th, 2014 update.
