Darklight Wood Timeline
Recommended Levels 1 to 25
Introduced: LU35
Difficulty: Solo
Starts in: Darklight Wood
Followed by: Nektulos Forest Timeline
Butcherblock Mountains Timeline
Side Timelines: The Commonlands Timeline


  • This is a master quest list that excludes any holiday/event related quests.
  • All quests listed here, unless noted, can be started and completed as of December 2023.

Darklight Wood is the starting zone for all new characters choosing Neriak, City of Hate as their starting location. In LU56 the zone had many quests revamped/altered.

This timeline will move you very smoothly through the various quest hubs in Darklight Wood, starting at Hate's Envy. As a result, there is very little chance that you will meet a monster that is red to you so long as you stay near your current quest hub. If of Evil-alignment and a citizen of Neriak, around level 10 you should take a trip into Neriak, City of Hate as there are several quests there for levels 10-11 which are related to to Darklight Wood and nearby zones. You'll get the hint when a quest sends you into the city around level 10.

Collections[]

Removed Quests[]

Many of the quests in Darklight Wood were redone with LU56. Some of the quests which were changed had new quests added with the same name, but both versions of the quests listed in this section will appear in your journal.

Neriak, City of Hate[]

Neriak itself has no smoothly identifiable series, but rather a collection of quests that add color and introduce the player to outlying zones. For this reason, rather than try to lay these out in level sequence, we group them by the section of the city that they start in. Additionally, there are no quests obtainable to characters of Good-alignment (short of Finding the Dark Bargainers, part of a quest series listed above) and almost all quests in Neriak are unobtainable to characters of Evil-alignment that are citizens of other cities.

Indigo Hollow[]

The following quest is available to any character of Evil-alignment, regardless of citizenship:

The New Foreign Quarter[]

Dockside Markets[]

Spires of Innoruuk[]

Cristanos Plaza[]

Darklight Palace in Death Grotto[]

The following quest is available to any character of Evil-alignment, regardless of citizenship:
