Since someone mentioned this forest in conversation the other day I decided to go have a wander about, especially seeing as I’ve been putting off gathering a few dispel amulets<\/a> for some of my alts.<\/p>\n

I used this little side trip as an excuse to go ahead and adept\u00a0detrap on Tharius before I headed out. \u00a0After a visit the the vineyard, a number of ugly orange sweaters and viewing the world through rose coloured glasses I was good to go.<\/p>\n

Where is the Forest of Despair? \u00a0It’s located to the north-east of the City of Salburg an area built by the team of Kinux and Selina based on an original concept by Thoric.<\/p>\n

I’ve visited Salburg before with Vladivostok when we came to beat up on Edonea’s hellish creation and pick up some blood of the innocent. \u00a0During that trip I noticed that the place had a creepy vibe about it and that’s during the daytime, never mind lingering about to encounter all the strange things you’ll encounter at night. \u00a0It was during this trip that I learned that falcon sight is still useful even if you have a your detects on, because you get detect traps as part and parcel, which is otherwise a bit of a bugger to get. \u00a0You’ll need this detect in many places during the area.<\/p>\n

A you might expect in a town that has started to rot from the inside out there are a number of dangerous locations, you should be vigilant about watching for DTs, there are at least 5 easy to find ones.<\/p>\n

Witches, swamp beasts and sentient trees all stand in your way but so too does a silent trans maze, a slog through a swamp maze, lots of pop items that need to come together in certain ways to form new and exciting items … but if you overcome all these hurdles you may walk away with generous rewards.<\/p>\n

It’s one thing to walk in Thoric’s foot steps, it’s another altogether to wander off with his boots \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
