Tips and Misc
- You have to do this quest solo in order to get into Korthos Village.
- The first character on every server has to go through the Grotto; after that, every character is given the option of skipping the Korthos storyline upon awakening at the beach. This effectively skips the Grotto and puts the character on Sunny Side. You're given all the gear you might have looted from the chest, as well as the choice of Cellimas' weapons at the end, and 850XP.
- You can spot & search the hidden door with scores of -1.
- You get an extra 470XP on top of the quest XP (440XP, or 465XP for rogues who disable the trap) for a total of 910/935XP
- Bonus XP: Tamper Bonus - 1 trap disabled. Only applies if your character disables the trap, not if Jeets does it.
