Notes

• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests yielded roughly 385 foes or so. Discounting quest influences, it has been reported to range from 368 to 411.
  • The groups of Wind Riders can interrupt most skill usage and apply heavy AoE damage with Cry of Frustration, and prevent healing by maintaining Shame on healers for long periods. Try to spread out before engaging to minimize the shutdown.
  • Beware of hidden spiders when you traverse narrow tunnels or valley passes.
  • The density of mobs in the area makes it possible to complete this vanquish while under the effects of a single Hunt Rampage bonus, which would allow one to earn approximately 12,000 Asura reputation points per hour.

Trivia

• A Magus is a magician, from the old Persian word for magic.
