Ruins of Gianthold

Overview
This zone is accessed through Cydonie of Argonessen in the Marketplace. She takes you to the Gianthold - a small city zone. From there you are able to enter the Ruins of Gianthold zone.

The Ruins of Gianthold are a level 13 Wilderness Adventure Area, allowing characters level 10 through 18. A total of 207733 XP can be gained.

A map of the zone can be found here. Warning, this map contains spoilers.

Missions
Three of the missions in this zone are given by NPCs located within the Gianthold city area:
 * The Crucible
 * Awarded by Jorgundal ar'Grund
 * [[media:The_Crucible.jpg | Map to Entrance]]
 * This mission may give Ancient Elven Relics in the final chest
 * Madstone Crater
 * Awarded by Blaze ar'Rhind
 * [[media:Madstone_Crater.jpg | Map to Entrance]]
 * This mission may give Ancient Giant Relics in the final chest
 * The Prison of the Planes
 * Awarded by Nimbus ar'Yorg
 * [[media:The_Prison_of_the_Planes.jpg | Map to Entrance]]
 * This mission may give Ancient Dragon Relics in the final chest

These three missions are pre-requisites for this zone's raid mission. Each of those three missions must be completed before you can attempt to run the Pre-Raid for this zone.

After running all three missions, you must collect 20 of each type of relic:
 * Ancient Giant Relic
 * Ancient Elven Relic
 * Ancient Dragon Relic

Once you have the 60 required relics, you can talk Crag in the Gianthold city zone. He will then give you access to the zone pre-raid mission Gianthold Tor, but you must fist also talk to Cydonie of Argonessen before running the pre-raid. In order to run the zone raid, you must not only complete the pre-raid, but also complete the optional portions of the raid - killing the dragon and giant guardians accessible after mission completion. Doing this and talking to Cydonie of Argonessen again grants you access to the zone raid - The Reaver's Fate.

In addition to the pre-req, pre-raid, and raid missions, there are a number of missions located out within the Wilderness Adventure Area. These missions are granted when you approach their entrance, and the end reward for the mission is given by various NPCs located within the Gianthold city zone.
