Getting to the new overland zone

The expansion introduces two new overland zone, Great Divide and Eastern Wastes, which can be accessed by the port in The Sinking Sands or by using zone paintings.

After an update in 2013, travel has been streamlined and the Globe of Swift Travel can be used to reach the dock near Thurgadin, City of the Coldain. Both the globe and Ulteran Spires can be used to reach Scarstone, even without completing the previously required quests to unlock the globe.
