Notes

• These quests affect the spawns in this area: Lost Treasure and Rescue at Minister Cho's Estate.
• Complete exploration of this area will yield approximately 2.6% to the Canthan Cartographer title track.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 210 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 183 to 220 foes.
  • There are no bosses in this area, so avoid skills that recharge with Morale Boost (i.e. Resurrection Signet and Sunspear Rebirth Signet).
  • Since you can only have a party of four, having a spirit spammer helps.
  • There is a chain of islands to the northeast with foes that cannot easily be seen from the beach. Likewise, there are more foes inside the caverns to the southeast.
