Enchanted Lands - Recommended lvl 30+

The Enchanted Lands, or short, EL, is a beautiful overland zone for those in the 30's. As you arrive at the docks, the first impression will either be, wow.. that looks nice... or boo... way too nice. If the second is more like you and you prefer the darkness of ancient battlefields then your better off in Zek, where the Orcs have fought many Wars. However if you are like me and enjoy the looks of the big nature areas, then the Enchanted Lands is for you.

While you are at the docks you can pick up several Quests from the locals there, they are friendly at heart and will reward you well, even the random upgrade here and there for your Armor Quest rewards. If you head towards the Granary Hill you will stumble over a gnome who's standing at the beach, looking for some help. If you get a group together you can get the Heritage Quest for the Serrated Bone Dirk, or if you prefer exploring on your own you can head a bit further along the coast where a scarecrow will ask for your help.

As long as you stay on the side of the wall you arrive on you will be fine on your own, but be aware that beyond the wall there are masses of goblins and evil eyes that are only waiting for someone to dare passing the wall on their own. But from greater danger comes greater rewards, and so risking it might turn out to be a good idea. There are two rivers flowing through the Enchanted Lands. If you follow one you will end at a farm where you will find the solution to full bags, a goblin that offers you a bigger bag as a Heritage Quest reward. If you follow the other river you will soon see that lovely looking zones can still be dangerous as those evil eyes lurking there in defense of Runnyeye see a lot further than an average goblin who can be tricked into believing your not there. If you don't like your shining armor to get wet you will have to cross the bridge, but don't fall down, an ancient slime beast is sometimes lurking below in wait for dinner to be served.

Now, where did you end up? Well, you are outside Runnyeye, a major dungeon for lvl 35+, where you will find lots of other brave adventurers to explore and hunt with.

Those that prefer to gather all sorts of materials for their crafting will find plenty of everything, since the zone is big and the nodes can be found from close to the docks all the way past Runnyeye and even where the Nightbloods mark their presence at the far end off the Zone.

- Level range you suggest for this zone

I recommend the Enchanted Lands for harvesters who are at least level 20 although, I've harvested there with characters as low as 15 levels in adventure experience. It takes some finesse to navigate the high level mobs, but once you get a pattern down it becomes second nature and the rewards are worth those occasional "ooh that was close!" moments.

I've been PvP'n in the Enchanted Lands since I was level 26. Again, its important to watch out for the mobs while in a fight; but the typical PvP range is anywhere from level 15 to 70 and usually a potpourri of all the levels in between.

- Your opinion about the difficulty of the zone

It's perfect. In fact, due to the challenge this zone presents me, it is by far my favorite zone. Even at level 43, when I solo there, I'm always on the edge of my seat due to the size of the mobs and the always present heroics that often mingle amongst their peers.

- Did you enjoy spending time in this zone? Explain why you did or did not enjoy it.

Of all the zones I've experienced thus far, I have spent more game hours in the Enchanted Lands than all other zones combined. It's a harvester's dream come true and a PvP's ultimate outdoor arena. There is rarely a day that I don't travel through the Enchanted Lands at least once. And, even fewer days that I don't find myself spending hours there harvesting or caught up in fun filled battles.

- Is this zone good for harvesting?

As I mentioned above... ABSOLUTELY! I'd say that about 50% of my wealth to date is a result of the resources and rares that I've harvested in the Enchanted Lands. The resources available for harvesting there are in high demand and the rares even higher. To boot, you have the opportunity to blow through at least 3 or 4 scrying stones an hour that were collecting dust in your back packs in previous zones!

- Best places to find "shinies"

Everywhere! Shinies are plentiful and quick to re-spawn. When I was in my low 30's however, I was sure there was some sort of plot against me that caused them to spawn directly in the middle of the wasps more frequently than not! *chuckles*

- Where it's dangerous to go/level range

Anywhere can be dangerous if you're not careful in the pre-50 levels. As I mentioned earlier, some of the mobs are quite large and the aggros are grouped pretty close together. So drawing one without the rest of his buddies can be a test of tactics. But, that's the way I like it!
