Notes[]

Bringing along portable work stations (or having the AA ability to summon them) is helpful.
Helfa Lightleaf in the Salt Breeze camp ( 3644, -1018, 1669 ) Copy/waypoint 3644.16, -1017.57, 1668.50 sells fuel if you need some.
Click the mining cart down the southwest tunnel at ( 252, 0, 33 ) Copy/waypoint 252.18, 0.01, 33.46 to obtain the recipe for Tinkered Explosives. Explosives clear rock and dirt faster, but are dangerous both to make and use (gnomish things that go BOOM!).

* You must be adventure level 20 or higher to use the Live Capture Net on "a monstrous beast." I petitioned it on 2/16/2024. < This comment has already been moved once to the appropriate discussions page >
