Echoes of Faydwer

Echoes of Faydwer is the third expansion for EverQuest II, released in November of 2006. It contains content for levels 1-70, including a new starting city. It is the largest expansion to date. The retail version also includes Desert of Flames and Kingdom of Sky.

Getting to Faydwer

You can catch a boat to Butcherblock Mountains at the end of the dock in Thundering Steppes or Nektulos Forest. Unlike other zones you can travel to from the docks, this one has an actual boat which you may have to wait for. There are two separate boats, one per old-world dock. Each takes 8 minutes for a round trip.

On the Butcherblock Bay docks there is also a flying carpet that can transport you to the Sinking Sands. The carpet at the Sinking Sands dock can return you to Butcherblock Mountains if you are a resident of Kelethin (ie, it returns to your home city).

You could also find a friendly Mage or Druid...
