he Leveling Guide: 1-3 High Elf Leveling Guide

Chapters 1-3



Blighted Isle

Long ago, during the cataclysm known as the Sundering, terrible magical energies were released upon the kingdoms of Ulthuan. The land was split by cataclysmic earthquakes and swallowed by the raging waters of the ocean. A number of broken, twisted islands are all that remain of these once-proud provinces. Of these, the Blighted Isle is where the Dark Elves' invasion of Ulthuan begins.

Moonrise Tower

High to the northern reaches of The Blighted Isle, Moonrise Tower sits nestled... one of a handful of last points for defense against the Dark Elves. It is here where the young High Elf begins his or her quest, and here where your adventure begins. The first point of contact will be Silvshara Greywind. Career Trainer Lyndriel Flameleaf will teach you new skills upon leveling up. You'll also find a Merchant to pawn off any junk for some spare copper, right next to the Career Trainer.

After taking out your first couple of quests, you'll be directed south a ways to meet Prince Eldrion in Calumel. But don't miss the Trebuchet soldier overlooking a cliff surrounded by harpies. He'll need your help clearing them out from the sky. An easy, risk free quest worth some copper and experience... not to mention the headshots you get to give the harpies.

Calumel

Here you'll find the quest giver for Khaine's Embrace, the High Elf/Dark Elf pairing's first RvR Scenario. You'll also find a bucket-load of quests awaiting you at Prince Eldrion, who needs your help driving back the encroaching Dark Elves. Eliryel Sorrowblade will train you in your class skills here, and Galmaer Silvermoon will help you pawn off your goods. There's not much more to this little pitstop. It's more of a continuation of Moonrise Tower than anything else. When you've completed the quests in this area, you'll be directed further southeast to Azurewood Glade.

Azurewood Glade

Azurewood Glade is the center of Chapter One, and where you'll find Captain Talorith, the Chapter One Rally Master. You can bind yourself to this point, and talk to the Captain when you are able to obtain Influence rewards for this chapter. You'll also find the first Renown Gear Merchant for the High Elves, Bursar Goldfen. And like with every proper quest camp, you'll find a regular merchant and a class trainer nearby.

Pay special attention to Aen Windsong, the first Kill Collector you'll encounter. For killing Dark Elves, he'll reward you with 70 experience. That is, for EACH Dark Elf you kill in the surrounding woods, you'll be rewarded with experience. It adds up quickly, so find a good spot and start the slaughter.

Following the east out of the camp, you'll find Grunda Aleheart, who offers a very fun chain of quests called "A Reluctant Hand", which you'll likely think are quite explosive. Coincidentally, she'll also direct you to the first Public Quest House Arkaneth. Similarly, be sure to talk to Laretha the Sun Mage in the camp, who will give you the quest Tears of Lileath. Don't be frustrated by its riddle... just follow the hints and solve the puzzle. Another great quest.

Once you've done all you can do here, maxed out that Influence and helped Grunda blow up some Dark Elves, you'll be guided further south to Adunei, where you can grab your crafting skills and begin Chapter 2 of the High Elf story.


Ruins of Adunei

Here will be your final stop before being directed south to help out in the High Elves' War Camp on The Blighted Isle. It's the center for all things Chapter 2, where you can obtain your crafting skills, and the home to a heck of a lot of quests. Kyrinn Silversea (also the Rally Master here) will get you started in the area, as will Eronin Shorewind.

Caethsetir Silverstrand is a Kill Collector rewarding the successful hunt of more Dark Elves in the area. Izidryal Moonfire is the Apothecary Trainer. Latealian Wingblade is skilled in the arts of Salvaging. Nalsolaire Bravebough will teach you about Cultivation, and Belisil Ithilblade will teach you all about Butchering. And to get you started in any of these crafting skills, Marelia Staroak is there to sell you all the crafting goods you'll need.

Down the western hill path, you'll find Thanalorn Forest, one of Chapter 2's Public Quests. Directly to the west of Adunei, on a small oblong island is another PQ called The Forlorn Isle, while the southeastern path will lead you to the Swale of Miralei and the 3rd PQ for Chapter 2.

Before you head to the Swale of Miralei and eventually on to the first Warcamp, there's one more (albeit small) quest hub across the large bridge to the south in Adunei. Lacorith will get you a tome unlock as a place of interest, as well as a few quick quests to knock out.

Finally, once you've maxed out that Chapter 2 Influence, and done your share of the work in Adunei, it'll be time to head south to Sternbrow's Lament, a small camp of High Elves. There's not much to look at here, but Sternbrow himself will point you in the direction of the first Warcamp, Tor Aendris.

But before you head there, you may wish to do the first Public Quest for Chapter 3. Keep following the road south from Sternbrow's Lament, and you'll eventually cross a bridge. Off to the right on the southern road, you'll find the Ruins of Erraneth.




Chrace

A land covered by ancient wilderness, the outer kindgom of Chrace is rough place of mountains and forests. In this untamed lands the hunters of Chrace learn their woodcraft, and the strongest of these elves eventually try their turn at hunting the powerful white lions that roam the mountains, in hopes of earning the honor of becoming a bodyguard to the king, a legendary White Lion of Chrace. Such honor comes as an intermittent joy, for Chrace is constantly on guard against the incursions of the Dark Elves.


Blightsward

South of the Blighted Isle, down the path from the Ruins of Erraneth, you'll travel through a field of spiders into the orc-laden beach head knows as Blightsward. This High Elf camp is the headquarters for Chapter 3, with Rally Master Morithwen Nightwhipser heading the campaign inside his own tent. Career Trainer Narnael Fallenlore makes use of the other tent here to train your abilities. You'll also find a Merchant and Healer to aid you, and a mailbox for sending a note home to Mom. Lorekeeper Illarhin, Larineth Spearsong and  Liraenor Nighwhisper will offer quests, while Kill Collector Aeldith Tearsong has a repeatable quest for killing creatures.

Right outside the camp, you'll be thrown head first into the second Public Quest for Chapter 3: Shattered Beach. Across the path and back toward the Dark Elf ships, you'll battle for PQ influence, all while trying to complete several regular quests. Steer clear of the Greenskin barge, however, unless you'd like to take on a sneaky Hero class Orc.

Continue along the southern path, up the hills, past Lions and Harpies toward the castle known as Yenlui. Here you take a stand against the Dark Elf slavers, in the Thrallseekers Public Quest, the final one available in this Chapter. On the western side of Yenlui, you'll find a land bridge connecting to the RvR lake, just below the Tower battlefield Objective. You'll have a few more quests to complete in this area, and then you'll be able to move down to the Chapter 4 camp.
