[edit] Notes
- This is one of the few places in Kourna where you may obtain bounties that contribute towards the Lightbringer rank.
- Preserved Red Iris Flowers can be found here, in the corsair areas to the south.
- The large groups of corsairs near the three collectors include several bosses in their number. Since they are wandering close to each other, careful pulling is required to prevent from being overwhelmed, especially in hard mode.
- These quests affect the spawns in this area:
- Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests yielded roughly 190 foes or so.
- The area east of the river has many hidden Mandragor groups.
- To clear the area with minimum kills (about 170), you must first completely clear the area west of the river. Then proceed to the area east of the river from the south. After one or two hidden groups of Mandragors, you will see a large pack of low-level Lions. Killing them will vanquish the area.
- Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 2.5% to the Elonian Cartographer title.
[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".
