The Red Fens

From DDO wiki

The Red Fens adpack icon.jpg
450 DP Requires access to adventure pack: The Red Fens

For years the Raveneye Clan has sold rare pearls to House Kundarak, but now their home is under attack. Repel the invasion by battling the denizens of a vast and dangerous swamp, then take the fight to the enemy's underwater base in a climactic finale!

Sahuagin have attacked the Red Fens, virtually wiping out the Drow clan that lives in the swamp.

Below are more details about the wilderness area and quests that make up this Adventure Pack.

Overview[edit]

The Red Fens map
Loading screen

This is a level 9 Wilderness Adventure Area, allowing characters from levels 6 through 13 for full XP gain. Exceeding the maximum character level requirement will reduce XP gain from Rare Encounter / Slayer / Explorer quests.

Within the wilderness are a chain of 4 Level 9 quests (Epic Level 21).

You can get to The Red Fens by talking to Ormar the Caravan Master in southwest House Kundarak.

  • Note that the entrance to the final quest, Into the Deep, (which unlocks after the other 3 missions) does not appear on the in-game map, as it is accessed via an NPC, Ta Prin, found in the far north of the area.

Raveneye Refuge Camp[edit]

Services[edit]

There is no tavern in this area.

Unique Loot[edit]

The Red Fens is the source of some very good mid-level two-part gear sets: Red Fens Unique Loot. Each of these items can be upgraded into a ML 20 epic item via Epic Crafting.

Each time you complete a quest, you will find named items from the quest end reward (NPC in the adventure area). It appears to be randomly selected from the pool for that quest. For example Fathom the Depths seems to always list 2 named items from the 4 possible for that mission. (This is an update to a previous behaviour from 2012).

Completing a quest three times (regardless of difficulty) offers a complete selection of the named rewards for that quest. Upgrading an item to epic requires a single ingredient which is guaranteed to drop in the end chest of any of the quests, making this some of the most accessible epic gear in the game (items purchased with Eveningstar Commendations are perhaps easier to obtain, but the enchantments are weak and outdated).

Slayer[edit]

  • Slay 10 creatures in The Red Fens: 405 XP = 40.5 xp/kill
  • Slay 25 creatures in The Red Fens: 553 XP = 36.87 xp/kill
  • Slay 50 creatures in The Red Fens: 765 XP = 30.6 xp/kill
  • Slay 100 creatures in The Red Fens: 1,170 XP = 23.4 xp/kill
  • Slay 200 creatures in The Red Fens: 1,935 XP = 19.35 xp/kill
  • Slay 400 creatures in The Red Fens: 3,465 XP = 17.33 xp/kill
  • Slay 750 creatures in The Red Fens: 5,895 XP = 16.84 xp/kill
  • Slay 1,500 creatures in The Red Fens: 12,420 XP = 16.56 xp/kill
  • Slay 3,000 creatures in The Red Fens: 25,335 XP = 16.89 xp/kill
  • Slay 5,000 creatures in The Red Fens: 35,325 XP = 17.66 xp/kill
  • Slay 7,500 creatures in The Red Fens: 46,215 XP = 18.49 xp/kill

There are approximately 157 (range 153-162) monsters in each instance of the wilderness, requiring a minimum of 48 instances to complete the 7,500 creature slayer objective.

Rare Encounters[edit]

Each Rare Encounter is worth 600 XP, with a bonus of 3,600 XP for defeating all of them. These are random encounters: it may take several retries to get them to spawn.
