Butcherblock Mountains

The Butcherblock Mountains sits along the shores of Faydwer in it's ancient majestic state. The gateway to the Echoes of Faydwer expansion you'll find a boathouse with docks leading to Nektulos Forest and Thundering Steppes. Beyond the safety of these docks lies treacherous mountains filled with aviaks, kobolds, and goblins. The wary traveler can make their way through to the Greater Faydark, Lesser Faydark, Kaladim and the Estate of Unrest.

Minimum level:

There is no level restriction for this zone, but it is recommended for
solo/groups between the levels of 20 and 35. At the lower levels of 20-25, players can hunt around the Greater Faydark or docks area with little or no issue solo. There is sufficient group content, but this zone seems to be very supportive of a duo or trio. As you move further away from the safety of the docks and Greater Faydark you'll find tougher creatures waiting to chew on you.

Zones Inside Butcherblock Mountains:

• Kaladim: This will seem a little out of place, but this ancient EverQuest 1 city has been reclaimed by Kobolds and Bugbears. It is intended for level 55+ and consists mainly of group content.
• Estate of Unrest: This zone is currently unavailable at the time this is written but it will be designed for groups at level 70.

Quest Starters:

• Collection quests:
  • Bugbear Ears: You'll need to find 7 of these in this zone. It is a level 35 collection.
  • Kobold Paws: You'll need to find 7 of these in the zone. It is a level 35 collection.
  • Bugbear Bones: You'll need to find 10 of these in the zone. It is a level 35 collection.

Heritage Quests Involving the Butcherblock Mountains

There is only one Heritage Quest that involves this zone, and that is the Oracle Robe.

Soloing Opportunities:

If you're 15-19:

• What are you doing here? I said this was a level 20+ zone! Ok you MIGHT be able to take stuff near the zone lines.

If you're 20-24:

• Tons of quests to do near the docks, the Greater Faydark zone line, and with the Irontoes (which you'll need faction with if you are going to do Raincaller later). Find them in the middle of the zone, just look for the towers with broken helmets on top.
  

If you're 25-29:

• This zone is starting to kinda wrap up for you. Finish what quests you can before it stops being all pretty blue. Aquagoblins are heroicalisish and provide good xp at those levels. There still should be some Irontoe quests you haven't been able to finish yet, and this would be a wonderful time.

If you're 30+ :

• It's time to start moving on soon. Make sure to pick up the Oracle Robe quest if you haven't, camp your aquagoblins and move on to Steamfont/Enchanted Lands/Zek. Make you've wrapped up as much of your collection quests as you can.
