What are some of your favorite lesser-known, out of the way areas in Elanthia? I love exploring places like these. I guess not much is truly unknown anymore, as everything is well mapped out these days, but still there are remote or well-concealed places around.

well, one of the things I did was to roll up a mm character for all the different sects and explore the sect-only places. <have someone in everything except heritage at present>. My particular favorite was the sect area for the Monks of the Crystal hand. I've also recently explored more places in Throne City as well. I enjoyed exploring under the MM guild in Crossing - but not with my MoonMages, with other of my characters that can see in the dark and aren't threatened by Death Spirits. I also enjoyed exploring Undershard with my Thief back in the day.

And, some quest areas I haven't explored yet, and some of the very difficult areas. hunting river sprites was something that opened up to my necro after i got 300 in swimming, which was fun, because before this I was unable to access that area. I do like the maps to fall back on in case I get lost <i don't have genie>, but I do like exploring, and taking the time to discover things that are new to me. I look forward to exploring under the swamps of the Zaulfang once I have a clerical character capable of surviving down there <quests were run through as fast as possible in order to survive>. That area is very deliciously creepy and fun to explore for the qualified.

<<There's this newfangled thing called "the internet" and I hear it has maps on it.>>

I use Ranik's maps, i don't have genie-automapper. Those are most useful.


<<It's not a cleric-only area.>>
Well aware of that, thanks. Many of them are coded as "evil" though, so are easier fought with holy magic. There is also a cleric-only housing area down there as well. Which, ironically, I managed to find with a Necromancer.


<qualified> doesn't mean cleric-only. It means capable of surviving down there.

My favorite area to explore has always been the Hunting Preserve out the West Gate of Crossing. It is a fairly large area, but you can spend a few hours exploring rooms, examining items, etc. Great history behind the place, too!

I know that. But none of my MMs except the one that is going to be heritage is "suitable", personality-wise, to be heritage. Each of them are very dedicated to their own path. <backstories available for 2 of them so far, on elanthipedia. Once the others advance to 30th circle, they'll be up there, too. :-)>

I used to like to use that trapdoor room in the Taverm in Haven as my little hideaway box poppign spot.
