Best places for ...
Hi, this is the "Best places for.." section. Did you ever wonder which is the best place to make Health Essences? Or the best places to train on a certain monster type? Here is where to search for it :)
Be warned: This is not primarily intended for beginners - often these places require you to travel to C2 and some medium fighting skills to scare off monsters.
Harvesting
There are tons of places to harvest things, but there are always some spots which are much better than others.
Cinnabar
- Waveneck Caves (C2)
These caves in northwest Glacmor are your quickest option, using the Aeth Aelfan storage via the boat from Glacmor. This is also the safest route for cinnabar, with only a sole hobgoblin roaming Aeth Aelfan (storage is directly beside the boat), and of course Leonard during night hours.
Coal
If you can handle the hobgoblins walking around, the coal in the northeast makes for a good location. No map changes between it and hazmat storage.
- White Stone Gargoyles Cave (C1)
In the north of White Stone, close to the Nordcarn exit, there is a cave with Gargoyles. Right at the entry you can find a coal deposit. The closest storage is Nordcarn storage. This is much closer than Desert Pines.
Red Roses
Right beside the way from storage to the Nordcarn exit you will find red roses around a tree on the east of the path (just across the red snapdragons at the rock). This is very close to the VotD storage, and you can even leave the storage window open.
Red Snapdragons
Right beside the way from storage to the Nordcarn exit you will find red snapdragons by the side of a large rock on the west side the path (just across the red roses at the tree). This is very close to the VotD storage, and you can even leave the storage window open.
Turquoise
- Waveneck Caves (C2)
Like cinnabar, these caves in northwest Glacmor are your quickest option, using the Aeth Aelfan storage via the boat from Glacmor.
Wood Branches
Several very good locations for these, but these three are the best for stocking large amounts for your ashes needs. All have outside storages with branches only a few steps away.
Only 2-3 steps east of storage.
- White Stone (C1)
Again only 2-3 steps east of storage (slightly in the woods heading in the direction of the castle).
Directly south of storage, on the opposite side of the wall. An only slightly longer walk than the above two options, but this is the best place if you are a newer player concerned about your safety in the other two locations.
Alchemy
Fire Essences
- Fire Essence Cave in Melinis (C2)
This cave contain food like Vegetables on a box and Fruit behind the same box and all you need to make fire essence Red Snapdragon, Red Roses and Sulphur. The cave is inside Melinis city so its safe just go through the south-eastern exit and enter the cave in the small alcove outside the city.The closest storage is the Melinis hazard storage so bring some teleport to range essences.
Steel Bars and Iron Bars
- Steel bar Cave in Melinis (C2)
This cave in the north east of Melinis contain Coal and Iron Ore close to each other. The cave is outside Melinis city so its not safe to go to - use a MM cloak. The closest storage is the Melinis hazard storage entrance outside the city. You also find the trade bot Arachnid in the cave close to the iron. A good way to make the bars is to first go to the FE cave in Melinas to make fire essences and harvest food - about half FE and half food - and then continue to the Steel bar cave thus making the bars from scratch.
Life Essences
- Wyrmgoth Underground in Aeth Aelfan (C2)
Enter the underground through the waterfall and in the northeast side of the underground are Silver Ore and Sunflowers not many steps from each other. You can also find some Toads in the underground if you need food to eat while making the life essences. Warning hobgoblin spawn at the silver ore and the cave contains armed orcs and a single ogre that might get to this area so its not safe even if its a large place and the chance of them wandering in is little - keep a MM cloak handy.
Matter Essences
- Crystal Caverns, Desert Pines (C1)
Enter Crystal Caverns by the southern entrance, and go left (south). As you go round the corner you will find an outcrop of Iron ore. Immediately to the south contained within a stone circle, can be found a fairly impressive growth of Quartz which is surrounded by both Blue and Rose Quartz. With all three Quartz, and the nearby Iron Ore, this is an ideal place to make matter essence. You only need to bring a few pickaxes (always good to have a spare) and plenty of food to eat while you are harvesting. Cooked meat works particularly well. Harvest ore/quartz while it is 'cooling down' It is far more efficient to create the essences here than to gather the ingredients separately. A matter essence weighs only 1 EMU, but the ingredients weigh 10.
As a bonus, try using the 'pointy finger' on the Quartz for a nice surprise.
Water Essence
- Portland Cave to White Stone City (C1)
Everything you need to make water essence is very close to this cave. Simply bring a few pickaxes along and something to eat. Blue Lupines are in Portland just north of the cave entrance. Blue Star Flowers are inside the cave just north of the cave exit to Portland. Sapphires are south of the cave exit to Portland. You can find Blue Quartz in front of the cave entrance to White Stone City.
Fighting
Male Ogres
- White Stone Secret Area ("The Meep") (C1)
It is a single ogre spawn, but there is also a troll spawn in there which makes sure this training session is going to earn you good money. Plus, it's rather close to a storage (NC storage) and still not as widely known as Vermor Castle.
- Idaloran Mines (C2)
Right at the east entrance to the mines, there are three ogre spawns. It's impossible to train on all three, but it is possible to use the first two spawns as a double spawn. Beware of the cyclopses that also roam those mines; they rarely come close to this area, but there is a chance.
