Morostav Trail is a section of the Echovald Forest that borders the Jade Sea, close to the spot where the Jade Wind originated. As with other parts of the petrified forest, it is populated primarily by the Wardens, although there's a smattering of the Dredge as well as other wildlife.

Notes

• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 297 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 269 to 318 foes.
  • Mhenlo will spawn as an ally if a character in the party has Into the Whirlpool active; he will provide additional healing for the party.
  • The boss Arbor Earthcall appears alone in the middle of the central lake, but on approach (he has a slightly larger aggro), 6 Warden of Seasons will popup around him.
  • There are at least 5 spots around the lake with hidden Warden spawns (3 or 4).
  • Along narrow paths be wary of hidden Warden and Blood Drinker spawns.
  • Afflicted are hostile to other enemies on the map - if you let them fight it out, it can reduce enemy numbers by 30.
  • This area is frequently speed cleared for Kurzick faction. This is called "Morostav Trail speed clear" (abbreviated as MTSC).
• Exploring this area will contribute approximately 2.7% towards Canthan Cartographer title.

Bug. Occasionally a foe may become stuck on one of the hedges near the spawn of Konrru, Tainted Stone. Attacks by the foe or party members will be obstructed from any direction, preventing damage from any skill that requires a line of sight. This may prevent an unprepared party from vanquishing the area.

Trivia

• This area is one of three in Factions (the others being Silent Surf and Mourning Veil Falls) where nine or more elite skills can be captured.
