Misty Thicket
So you have gotten your characters to level 70, hopefully trained your offensive and defensive skills by the skeletons in QRG, picked up some armor and weapons from Plane of Time and completed your characters Epic 2.0. At this point you should start working on your Fighters/Casters guild quests. Completing these quests are mandatory to further increase the ranks of your Epic weapon. Once you complete these quests you will also receive other benefits, such as the ability to futher improve your skills, as well as access to some unique items and quests.
Misty Thicket is a new zone that was created in 2023, to give new players an alternate and more engaging way of completing the Fighter's Guild Quest & the Caster's Guild Quest. Misty Thicket is a zone where you can complete both these quests without the need to hop to various other zones and instances. You can also mix the two ways to complete these quests.
The quests starts by hailing either Hyacinthe or Melwithe in Nexus. Hyacinthe will give you the Caster's Guild Quest and Melwithe will give the Fighter's Guild Quest. Characters that cast spells normally do the Casters Guild Quest, to further improve their spell skills as well as access to some new spells (necro) and the quest Summoner's Pack for pet users.
Important Clarifications:
• This is strictly a level appropriate zone, (ie. level 70) if you want to check it out, make some alts. • This is not a powerlevel through the Guild quests zone. Buffs are stripped on zone in, so you buff what you can buff. • There are a few fun reward items (with charges) to give new players some idea of what's available. • No doubles/triples/zone pulls (you can make a double or triple zone, but won't get double or triple loot). • It should take about as long as a normal farm for CG/FG items, on a per character basis. However, bosses spawn here based on the quest needs of anyone in the zone, so while it may take 2 hours under ideal conditions to farm a normal CG 'kit', if you have a full group, expect it to take 12 hours to complete all 6 in here. It's not intended to be an easier solution, but it allows you to play the game in a fun way, while possibly earning some plat and fun rewards.
