The Enchanted Lands Zone Guide

The Enchanted Lands
The Enchanted Lands West	The Enchanted Lands East

1. Overview

Enchanted Lands is a place of wonder, exciting vistas, and numerous dangers and challenges. The varied terrain and huge array of mobs guarantees that your sojourn in this part of the Shattered Lands will not be boring. There are many quests to accomplish here and in adjoining zones with varying rewards. EL itself is divided into sections, among them Gobland, Far Shire, South Mist, and Fay Shire. But the primary division comes from a high wall called the Great Guard. This wall is open in several spots for passage through. On the east side of the wall is the southeastern section, including the docks, the fay isle, the entrance to Rivervale, the Bobick lost village grounds, the beetle hill, the broken wizard spires, and various lower level mobs. Beyond the wall the more dangerous mobs roam, notably goblins, lamias, twisted fairies, and nightbloods. Also the entrance to Runnyeye is located north of the docks beyond the wall.

2. Adjoining zones

The Enchanted Lands are reached from the Nektulos Forest dock where there is a bell leading to EL. Once in EL, you can access Rivervale (-333, -277) and Runnyeye (88, -909), which pose more of a challenge. There are also several of the small instanced dungeons in the zone. Finally, a portal to the Obelisk of Lost Souls will sometimes be available in the Nightblood Tower.

3. Quests

First of all, this zone is home of the Foomby's Stolen Goods heritage quest for the Bag of Sewn Evil-Eye. It's one of the easiest and quickest HQs to accomplish. Also a stage in the The Journey is Half the Fun heritage quest for the Journeyman's Boots is run in this zone. One of the required monks for the Teachings of Yoru heritage quest for the Flowing Black Silk Sash, LoVolonus, is found at -99, -1127. And don't forget The Reaching Blade of the Assassin heritage quest for the Serrated Bone Dirk; although most of this quest takes place in Rivervale and elsewhere, it does begin and end right on the beach west of the docks.

As for repeatable quests, talk to the halfling Kelbri Mossborn who can be found in front of the dock to the east of the steps down. She gives out random tasks; delete until you get the mob type you want. I recommend turtles or beetles for ease and quick turnaround.

Progressive quests start with Deputy Nettlebrine by the dock. These continue for several rounds with each of several different NPCs scattered about the zone. Finding the required places and items may be fun or frustrating; depends on what you like. It is a good way to familiarize yourself with the zone. In the same vein, EL has several clickable obelisks that will give quests to find various locations within their respective districts. Since the locations are landmarks from the past, some are rather hard to locate.

Talk to the scarecrow Sir Tatters (282, -117) on the beach near the wall for a progressive type set of quests which will culminate in final quests in Rivervale that when completed yield some nice gear. Don't forget to see all the NPCs in the dock area also; you won't lack for things to do.

4. Where to hunt

As now there is no level restriction for entrance, you can get here whenever you wish to try. But be advised that there are no mobs under level 31. As soon as you feel up to the challenge, try out the turtles or beetles near the docks. They range from level 31-34. Same goes for the fairies and deer, though most are grouped. The rule in EL is the farther you get from the dock, the higher level the mobs become. So when you have gotten a few levels under your belt, take your group out along the beach to the west and try out the lashers (34-35) and grimmin (34-35) you find there. Note that some mobs come in heroic version. The most challenging mob in EL are the Nightbloods, some of which are level 40 heroic. Here is a breakdown on some of the mobs you can find in the zone:

Badgers - level 32 non aggro
Sand and Salt snappers levels 31-34 non aggro
Fairies - levels 31-34 a few aggro
Deer - levels 31-33 non aggro

5. Collections

The Enchanted Lands, along with Rivervale and Runnyeye, has a sought-after collection quest for maple leaves which when turned in yield a large collector's pouch, a 24-slot bag. The local coin finds are coins of Rivervale; these are found in RV and RE as well. Also found in this zone are Pristine, Shiny and Glowing Shards, and Unscathed and Enchanted bone fragments. Common node spawns are near the fairies and wizard spires or by the beetles.
