| 63 | - | 80 | TBS | : ) | The Buried Sea - The isles do have mobs of different levels, races and
difficulty. Plenty of humanoid mobs (Pirates at W and N, sirens at NW, galigabas at NE, goblins at E). |
||
| 66 | - | 77 | PoR | Arcstone - Start with wolves to the left, then try the undead riders upon the hill. | |||
| 67 | - | 82 | TSS | : ) | Icefall Glacier - Animals; kobold and goblin caves to the NW. | ||
| 68 | - | 81 | TBS | : ) | Jewel of Atiiki - Plenty of spots; try the pyramid dungeons if you need a
challenge but stay away from the sand golems as their xp is capped by an anti-grinding mechanism. You can enter the pyramids by climbing onto the top of them. Nothing in the zone but mummies does see invis but the dungeons do have monster traps. |
