During the Lonely In The World event, the mines were updated with new creatures and the inactive Focusing Stone. In addition, the upper level restriction was removed (was 14-22) and the portal was changed from pink to green to reflect the increased difficulty.

During the Rekindling the Light event, the Empyrean Sun Stone was added to the dungeon.
