[edit] Notes
- This is one of the few places in Kourna where you may obtain Lightbringer bounties.
- A Preserved Red Iris Flower can be found in a chest in the southern Corsair area.
- There are four bosses close to each other in the southern Corsair area; use caution when approaching them, especially in hard mode.
- These quests affect the spawns in this area:
- Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 2.6% to the Elonian Cartographer title track.
- Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests requires defeating around 170 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 158 to 201.
- You can avoid killing 3-5 of the hidden Mandragor groups by first clearing the western area, crossing the river using the southern route, and defeating a pride of low-level lions nearby.
[edit] Trivia
- The map provided with the Collector's Edition of Guild Wars Nightfall names this area as the "Barbarous Coast". The Barbary Coast, or Barbary, was the term used by Europeans from the 16th until the 19th century to refer to the middle and western coastal regions of North Africa. The barbary pirates of north Africa are sometimes called "Turkish corsairs" or "Ottoman corsairs".
