| |
| Hi,
| |
| this is the "Best places for.." section. Did you ever wonder which is the best place to make Fire Essences? Or the best places to train on a certain monster type? Here is where to search for it :)
| |
|
| |
| Be warned: This is not primarily intended for beginners - often these places require you to travel to C2 and some medium fighting skills to scare off monsters.
| |
|
| |
| == Harvesting ==
| |
| There are tons of places to harvest things, but there are always some spots which are much better than others.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Cactus]] ===
| |
| * [[Desert Pines]] (C1)
| |
| The cactus is located right in front of the storage exit.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Cinnabar]] ===
| |
| * [[Waveneck Caves]] (C2)
| |
| These caves in northwest [[Glacmor]] are your quickest option, using the [[Aeth Aelfan]] storage via the boat from Glacmor. This is also the safest route for cinnabar, with only a sole [[hobgoblin]] roaming Aeth Aelfan (storage is directly beside the boat), and of course [[Leonard]] during night hours.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Coal]] ===
| |
| * [[Diamond Cave]], [[White Stone]] (C1)
| |
| In the north of White Stone, close to the [[Nordcarn]] exit, there is a cave with [[Gargoyles]] and [[Diamond]]s. Right at the entry you can find a coal deposit. The closest storage is Nordcarn storage. This is much closer than [[Desert Pines]].
| |
|
| |
| === [[Emerald]]s ===
| |
| * [[Emerald Valley Caves]] (C2)
| |
| Though the entrance to the caves is a [[forum:288|secret]], this cave is very close to [[Viorica]]'s outdoor storage. And the with the only monster being [[Armed Skeleton]]s, many adventurers may not even need the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]] or [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] to harvest here safely.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Gypsum]] ===
| |
| * [[Arius]] (C2)
| |
| Arius is the only location where gypsum can be found, thus the best place by default.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Iron Ore]] ===
| |
| * [[Emerald Valley Caves]] (C2)
| |
| Though the entrance to the caves is a [[forum:288|secret]], this cave is very close to [[Viorica]]'s outdoor storage. And the with the only monster being [[Armed Skeleton]]s, many adventurers may not even need the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]] or [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] to harvest here safely.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Nightshade]] ===
| |
| * [[Naralik]] (C1)
| |
| Several locations, short walk due to small map and outside storage.
| |
| * [[South Redmoon]] (C2)
| |
| Just north of storage in a flower pot.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Poison Ivy]] ===
| |
| * [[Palon Vertas]] (C2)
| |
| Directly west of the outdoor storage, past the windmill, next to a rock by the water just before you reach the white fenced area with roses and other flowers. Very short walk.
| |
|
| |
| * [[White Stone]] (C1)
| |
| North of storage, just a bit east of the north-east tele pad as you enter Forest of the Fall.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| === [[Red Rose]]s ===
| |
| * [[Valley of the Dwarves]] (C1)
| |
| Right beside the way from storage to the Nordcarn exit you will find red roses around a tree on the east of the path (just across the red snapdragons at the rock). This is very close to the VotD storage, and you can even leave the storage window open.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Red Snapdragons]] ===
| |
| * [[Valley of the Dwarves]] (C1)
| |
| Right beside the way from storage to the Nordcarn exit you will find red snapdragons by the side of a large rock on the west side the path (just across the red roses at the tree). This is very close to the VotD storage, and you can even leave the storage window open.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Rose Quartz]] ===
| |
| * [[Nordcarn]] (C1)
| |
| (173,92) The quartz is somewhat hidden behind a fallen brick. Use the Nordcarn storage.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Silver Ore]] ===
| |
| * [[Morcraven Marsh Caves]] (C1)
| |
| Use the South Cave and take the boat to the silver (it is about 10 seconds faster than using the north entrance). Note that you need a defense of 26 to harvest safely without a Monster Magnetism Cape.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Sulphur]] ===
| |
| * [[Emerald Valley Caves]] (C2)
| |
| Though the entrance to the caves is a [[forum:288|secret]], this cave is very close to [[Viorica]]'s outdoor storage. And the with the only monster being [[Armed Skeleton]]s, many adventurers may not even need the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]] or [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] to harvest here safely.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Swamp Candles]] ===
| |
| * [[Naralik]] (C1)
| |
| If you can safely get there and aren't prone to being attacked by [[Male Goblin|Male Goblins]], Naralik is the absolute best place for these, with swamp candles only a few steps directly south of storage, along the water.
| |
|
| |
| * [[Valley of the Dwarves]] (C1)
| |
| The outdoor storage is just north of the harvest location, also on the west side of the river. A good alternative for those who aren't safe in Naralik.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Toadstool]] ===
| |
| * [[Valley of the Dwarves]] (C1)
| |
| Unlike in [[White Stone]], there are no roaming monsters to worry about for those with low a/d. And the outdoor storage is just west over the river.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Turquoise]] ===
| |
| * [[Waveneck Caves]] (C2)
| |
| Like [[cinnabar]], these caves in northwest [[Glacmor]] are your quickest option, using the [[Aeth Aelfan]] storage via the boat from Glacmor.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Wood Branches]] ===
| |
| Several very good locations for these, but these are the best for stocking large amounts for your [[ashes]] needs. All have branches only a few steps away from storage.
| |
|
| |
| * [[Emerald Valley Trade Route]] (C2)
| |
| Only 2-3 steps east of storage.
| |
|
| |
| * [[White Stone]] (C1)
| |
| Again only 2-3 steps east of storage (slightly in the woods heading in the direction of the castle).
| |
|
| |
| * [[Valley of the Dwarves]] (C1)
| |
| Directly south of storage, on the opposite side of the wall. An only slightly longer walk than the above two options, but this is the best place if you are a newer player concerned about your safety in the other two locations.
| |
|
| |
| * [[Nordcarn]] (C1)
| |
| Again only 2-3 steps north outside the storage. This one, unlike the above three, has the disadvantage of an inside storage, slowing things down a bit requiring map changes and clicking on the storage NPC with each trip.
| |
|
| |
| == [[Alchemy]] ==
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| === [[Energy Essence]]s ===
| |
| * [[Crystal Caverns]], [[Desert Pines]] (C1)
| |
| Outside Crystal Caverns northern entrance you can find [[Tiger Lilly]] and inside [[Iron Ore]] and [[Silver Ore]], this is an ideal place to make energy essence. You only need to bring a 3 [[Pickaxe|pickaxes]] (always good to have a spare) and plenty of food to eat while you are harvesting.
| |
|
| |
| * [[Bethel Mine]], [[Bethel]] (C2)
| |
| With Monster Magnetism perk, or once you reach the ignore level for [[Feros]], one side of the mine has [[Iron Ore]] and [[Silver Ore]] within a few steps of each other. Using the [[Palon Vertas]] storage, you can grab [[Tiger Lilly]] in two places on the walk up to Bethel, then bag mix in the mine. (Even with feros ignoring you, bring MM cloak for the brief time in Bethel if [[Desert Chimeran|Desert Chimerans]] still attack you.)
| |
|
| |
| === [[Fire Essence]]s ===
| |
| * Fire Essence Cave in [[Melinis]] (C2)
| |
| This cave contain food like [[Vegetables]] on a box, [[Fruits]] behind the same box and toads and what you need to make fire essences [[Red Snapdragons]], [[Red Rose]]s and [[Sulphur]]. The cave is inside Melinis city so it is safe. The coordinates for the cave are (130,190). The closest [[storage]] is [[Hazardel]] so bring some essences for the [[Teleport to Range Spell]].
| |
|
| |
| === [[Life Essence]]s ===
| |
| * [[Wyrmgoth Underground]] in [[Aeth Aelfan]] (C2)
| |
| Enter the underground through the waterfall and in the northeast side of the underground are [[Silver Ore]] and [[Sunflower]]s not many steps from each other. You can also find some Toads in the underground if you need food to eat while making the life essences. Warning [[hobgoblin]] spawn at the silver ore and the cave contains armed orcs and a single ogre that might get to this area so its not safe even if its a large place and the chance of them wandering in is little - keep a [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] handy.
| |
|
| |
| * [[Morcraven Marsh Caves]] in [[Morcraven Marsh]] (via [[Naralik]] Storage) (C1)
| |
| From Naralik storage, harvest [[Sunflower|Sunflowers]] west of the bookseller. Go to Morcraven Marsh, enter the south (Gold) cave. Take the boat across to the [[Silver Ore]] and mix.
| |
|
| |
| An alternative is to use the Morcraven Marsh storage, harvesting sunflowers north of storage, then head to the cave. This alternative is only slightly longer than using the Naralik option, but good if you plan to afk while walking to the mine.
| |
|

| As a bonus, try using the 'pointy finger' on the Quartz for a nice surprise. | | As a bonus, try using the 'pointy finger' on the Quartz for a nice surprise. |
|
| |
|
| === [[Water Essence]] ===
| | * [[Zirakgunda]], [[Zirakinbar]] (C2) |
| * [[Portland]] [[Eastern Cave|Cave]] to [[White Stone]] City (C1) | | This abandoned subterranean city is also a good source for this type of essences, you can find here all the Quartz in one location and the [[Iron Ore]] is not very far. This map also contains [[Fruits]]. |
| Everything you need to make water essence is very close to this cave. Simply bring a few pickaxes along and something to eat. [[Blue Lupine]]s are in Portland just north of the cave entrance. Blue Star Flowers are inside the cave just north of the cave exit to Portland. [[Sapphire]]s are south of the cave exit to Portland. You can find [[Blue Quartz]] in front of the cave entrance to White Stone City.
| |
| | |
| | |
| === [[Steel Bar]]s and [[Iron Bar]]s ===
| |
| * Steel bar Cave in [[Melinis]] (C2)
| |
| Steel bar cave in the north east of Melinis contains [[Coal]] and [[Iron Ore]] close to each other. The cave is outside Melinis city so its not safe to go to - use a MM cloak unless you want to fight fluffys and desert chimeras. The closest storage is the [[Hazardel]] hazardous storage entrance to the north of the city. You also find the trade bot Arachnid in the cave close to the iron. A good way to make the bars is to first go to the FE cave in Melinas to make fire essences and harvest food - about half FE and half food - and then continue to the Steel bar cave thus making the bars from scratch.
| |
| | |
| == Fighting ==
| |
| === [[Male Goblin]]s ===
| |
| * Valley of the Dwarves [[Gold Mines]] (C1)
| |
| Just off to the side of the main entrance is an area where two goblins spawn, and there are several more deeper in the caves.
| |
| | |
| === [[Male Ogre]]s ===
| |
| * White Stone Secret Area ("The Meep") (C1)
| |
| It is a single ogre spawn, but there is also a [[Troll|troll]] spawn in there which makes sure this training session is going to earn you good money. Plus, it's rather close to a storage (NC storage) and still not as widely known as [[Vermor Castle]].
| |
| | |
| * [[Idaloran Mines]] (C2)
| |
| Right at the east entrance to the mines, there are three ogre spawns. It's impossible to train on all three, but it is possible to use the first two spawns as a double spawn. Beware of the [[Cyclops|cyclopses]] that also roam those mines; they rarely come close to this area, but there is a chance.
| |
| | |
| * [[Melinis]] (C2)
| |
| Melinas secret triple spawn ogre cave always have a fighter bashing the ogres head. You need an MM to get there.
| |
| | |
| === [[Skeleton]]s ===
| |
| * Portland's [[Titanium Mines]] (C1)
| |
| Several spawns of both unarmed and [[Armed Skeleton]]s can be found on the cave's lower level.
