Notes[edit]
- These quests affect the spawns in this area:
- Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 197 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 156 to 238 foes.
- Anti-melee skills are effective due to a large number of warriors and assassins in this area.
- Snapjaw Windshell is in a group with several Rockhide Dragons and Saltspray Dragons, making that group very deadly to unprepared groups that are bunched up.
- There are five hidden Oni spawn points - one on a clearing east of Snapjaw Windshell, two at the Jade Sea path connecting Breaker Hollow and Cavalon, On the hill north of the Luxon arena, and there is one behind Ssuns, Blessed of Dwayna.
- Exploring this area will contribute approximately 2.6% towards Canthan Cartographer title.
