Article needs more information. Ancient Sand Monster, who drops the Epic 3.0 spawns in the SouthEast corner of the map, and is not included in this map.

Throughout the map are many static 'trash' mobs, each of which has a chance of dropping enchanted gemstones (for your armor), augments, and occasionally some cash bags or gems. In each of the locations marked on the map, is a placeholder mob that will spawn a boss for you. Each boss drops: a single armor mold (always(?)), a token (always), an essence (rarely), and some other (non-main-slot) gear / augs (sometimes). You combine the proper armor mold enchanted gemstone together in your magic box to gain your first tiered armor. The armor is specific to the type of character, not the actual class: Plate, Chain, Leather, and Cloth, as opposed to War, Monk, Zerk, etc. The tokens are turned in to the Qvic quest NPC in the nexus, to gain part of the flag for the next tiered zones: Cazic Thule and Plane of Dragons. The other half of the flag is your armor: you'll need a complete set (you may be missing one bracer if you wish). Once you have that, hail the Level Up Wench, and she'll give you your next level, and the flag.

In addition to the normal bosses, there is the 3.0 epic boss: the Ancient Sand Monster. He spawns when you kill the normal Sand Monster, and roams a similar path (i.e. starts in southeast tunnel. When you kill him, you'll get a completed Epic 3.0 book. DO NOT TURN THAT IN IMMEDIATELY. Instead, wait until you have the whole flag for the next tier. This is important, because when you hand in your Epic 2.5, you get an aug back instead of another weapon. You need a weapon 'skin' to put that aug in, and those skins are only available in Plane of Dragons. So make sure you can go there first!
