The village in the north

A mountainous area riddled with passes lies along the northwestern border of Vabbi. This area is collectively known as the Vehjin Mines, named for the mining activity that centers in the southeastern portion of this area. A small unnamed village can be found nestled along one of the higher passes towards the north.

Notes

The Guild Wars 2 Wiki has an article on Vehjin Mines.

• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 2.3% to the Elonian Cartographer title track.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 173 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 139 to 206 foes.
  • If you have not completed the Coffer of Joko quest (even if you haven't yet taken the quest), and you have Master of Whispers in your party, certain mobs may not spawn, including Nehpek the Remorseless. This can significantly reduce the difficulty/speed of vanquishing the area.
