## Overview

The Scourge Invasion is a custom event implementation for AzerothCore, crafted for Araxia Online. Inspired by the original 1.11 world event that signaled the opening of Naxxramas and the rise of Kel'Thuzad, this reimagined version is not a direct copy, but a unique adaptation tailored for the Araxia experience. Featuring dynamic gameplay with randomized undead mob attacks, challenging bosses, and updated quests, enhancing the World of Warcraft experience.

- **Dynamic Mob Attacks**: 15% chance for mobs to spawn and attack when changing zones or subzones, scaled to player level.
- **Boss LUA Scripts**: Includes Lua scripts for Scourge Invasion bosses.
- **Updated Quests**:
  - Replaced Dim `Necrotic Shards (ID 22892)` with `Necrotic Rune (ID 22484)`
  - Removed exploration requirements
  - Adjusted quest flags
- **Event Spawns**: Bosses and quest givers spawn only during Event ID 17.
- **Lua Scripts**:
  - Random mob attack logic
  - World announcement handling
  - NPC despawn/spawn behavior
- **Quest SQL**: `QUEST/` folder contains SQL for event quests.
- **Item SQL**: `ITEMS/` folder includes SQL for quest-related items.
- **NPC SQL**: `NPC/` folder contains SQL for all event-related NPCs.
- **Enemies**: `Enemies/` folder includes:
  - `Mobs/` and `Bosses/` subfolders
  - SmartAI scripts
  - Updated loot tables
- **Event Schedule**: `game_event/` folder contains SQL to run this event every **Saturday** from **Midnight to 4:00 AM UTC**.
- **Future Plans**: Potential integration with the in-game holiday calendar for enhanced visibility.
