Notes[edit]
|
The Guild Wars 2 Wiki has an article on Arkjok Farmlands. |
- Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 324 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 279 to 368 foes.
- The A Prescription for Conscription quest in particular will produce a lot more insect spawns.
- Several hidden groups of Mandragors are located in the southeast area from the Yohlon Haven exit.
- It is possible to acquire all of the Sunspear bounties before killing any related foe, resulting in about 1,300 Sunspear points for clearing the area. Start from the Jahai Bluffs exit in the north and work through the shrines in a counterclockwise direction until arriving the Mandragor Hunt shrine at the exit into Marga Coast. Turn southeast and head towards the Monster Hunt shrine before turning back to the Yohlon Haven exit for the Insect Hunt bounty.
- The exit into Sunspear Sanctuary is blocked until the completion of Hunted!
