Ruins of Gianthold

The main story arc, The Reaver's Bane, is bestowed by Cydonie, Agent of Argonessen in the west side of the Marketplace when your character reaches level 10. Upon receiving this quest, Thaden the Farshifter can then transport you to the Gianthold - a small city zone. From there you are able to enter the Ruins of Gianthold zone.

The Ruins of Gianthold is a level 13 Wilderness Adventure Area, allowing characters level 10 through 18 full XP rewards.

Points of Interest

 * There is an Ancient Flayer with a locked chest at the top of Crystal Spin Peak, which has a unlock DC of 46. The Ancient Flayer is always there and is not counted as a rare encounter.
 * There is an unlocked chest at the Aurum Supply Depot; smash the breakables to trigger the Aurum Supply Master and 2 Gold Concord Clerics ambush and kill them to unlock the chest.
 * Occasionally, there is an unlocked chest on a small ledge above the entrance to A Cry for Help. Kill the Zakya Archers around the ledge, jump up via the crystals (or take the very long way around) and run around the ledge to the east. There are 3 Zakya on a small platform only accessible from up on the ledge and the chest will not appear (if it is going to) until the 3 Zakya are dead.

Quests
Three of the quests in this zone are given by NPCs located within the Gianthold city area:

The Reaver's Bane
 * The Crucible must be completed before Narkonk will teleport you to the Stormfist encampment.
 * Madstone Crater must be completed before Narkonk will teleport you to the Stormheart encampment.
 * The Prison of the Planes must be completed before Narkonk will teleport you to the Stormeye encampment.

In addition to the pre-req, pre-raid (Gianthold Tor), and raid quests (The Reaver's Fate), there are a number of quests located within the Wilderness Adventure Area. These quests are granted when you approach their entrance, and the end reward for the quest is given by various NPCs located within the Gianthold city zone.
