style="font-family: tahoma;">Zone Guide: Ataraxia's Haven

By
Darkgolem




Ataraxia's Haven is found in House Kunderak, to the east of the
bank.  This area is a resort area, established by a man by the
name (surprisingly enough) of Ataraxia.  However, when ore was
discovered to be located on the island by deurgar, they have since
taken over the island, and it has grown wild.  The central area of
the island is the location of the mines established by the Deurgar, the
shores of the island, aside from the area you arrive at when you get to
the island, contain wildmen, razor cats, rust monsters, scrag (sea
trolls), and scorpions.



Most of the monsters here are more or less ordinary.  Some
particular things to pay attention to are as follows:  Wildmen use
feeblemind spells, so you will need heal to recover for this (or to
die).  Razorcats have damage reduction 10/blunt, and have href="http://ddo.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=492">poison
spines along their body (which hurt any who hit them, and poison the
attacker).  The scorpions, of course, are poisonous.  
The deurgar as a whole rely on critical hits for damage, so
fortification is helpful.  Additionally, the deurgar bards and
spellswords are particularly dangerous, using crowd control, acid
damage over time spells, and href="http://ddo.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=424">sonic
damage.  Finally, the scrags here cannot be killed unless they are
harmed with fire or href="http://ddo.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=424">acid,
even if brought to zero hit points, and are immune to death affects
(such as phantasmal killer).



This area is levels 7-12, and it is wise to travel in a group, with
healing, poison protection, acid and sonic energy resistance, and use
pulling tactics here.   This zone can be soloed, but not
easily, and not with any but an above average character.  This is
extremely true of the lighthouse area.

style="border: 2px solid ; width: 250px; height: 196px;" align="left">Find
the arena ruins:
325 XP awarded

"The ruins here look like the remnants of an outdoor arena."  This
area has the only shrine in Ataraxia's Haven (excepting in
quests).  There is a scorpion and a razor cat found here, so it is
not save to shrine here without kiling these enemies first.  Also,
Arboth is found here.

ocean cave."  This cave sometimes contains Bestore, in the far

style="text-decoration: underline;">Find the Scrag cave: 325
XP awarded

"Gurgling grunts and groans leave no doubt that scrag trolls inhabit
this cave."  The scrags here are not, relative to the level of
this area, particularly difficult.  Still, you will need to
excercise some caution.  Dulk is often found here. style="font-weight: bold;">



Find the deadly gazebo: 325 XP
awarded

"This gazebo serves as a lookout for approaching ships. Remnants of
arrows lead you to believe that it has also been used as a sniping
spot."  A very dangerous sniper, Dranem Otoh is often found
here.  He is just a very dangerous combatant.  On the way to
this location you will rarely meet
style="font-family: tahoma;">Goregra, a rare encounter hyena pack
member.




Find the wildman cave: 325 XP
awarded

"The unmistakable hoots and howls of wildmen echo from within the
cave."  This cave contains several wild men.  There is a
sharp right as soon as you enter the cave, this leads to an upper area,

he casts cloudkill and ice storm.  A left at the end of the
entrance hall to this cave leads to a lower area with some wildmen too. style="font-weight: bold;">

awarded

"Large rock formations resembling the fingers of giants line the sand
of this beach."  This beach is fairly large, located on the south
western portion of the island.  The exact explorer location is at
the waterline, in the south east portion of this beach. style="font-weight: bold;">



Find smugglers hollow: 325 XP
awarded

cave."  This cave is located in the central mining pit of the
island, on the east side on a upper ledge.  Inside is found Bororo

Find mineshaft IV: 325 XP
awarded

high value to the duergar."  Located in the same central mining
pit that the mining cave is located from.  This is also a quest,
gained from the quest provider at the ship that brings you to
Ataraxia's haven.  There are many deurgar in this portion of the
pit, and you should use a lot of caution approaching this area.



Find the lighthouse: 325 XP
awarded

The duergar seem intent on protecting this lighthouse. Something of
great value must be hidden within.  This is without a doubt the
most deadly non - indoor quest encounter on the island.  There are
many deurgar spellswords, workers, bandits, archers and bards
here.  Be prepared to fight, buff with acid, fire and sonic
resistance, free action if possible also.  Pull enemies from the
distance, and use stoneskin to protect form archers.  The actual
explorer point is located at the edge of the cut bridge which leads to
the lighthouse.



Find the fishing hole

hole."  The fishing hole is located along the coast north and west
