One of my favorite spots is in Thanalan.

Here are two areas I found in the black shroud ages ago. Sorry I don't have the exact map spots but they are in the North east part of the map full of guivers and evil stuff.
*Gridania*
Closed off area "I'm assuming the sylph village"
Altar or negotiation table
Large chunk of Aetherite?
Thanalan
Factories that produce power fuel for Ul'dah?
Coerthas
"Bland terrain!"
"Bland terrain2!"
Empty guard post? and 2
*Bonus*

Holy crap you guys are imature... When did asking for pics = flameing/trolling. Guess ppl here got white knight complexes and protect lil girls.
Actually pictures speak 1000 words. A better idea would did pics and not tell them where the places are and make them find it sorta like a scavenger hunt.
sphre or w/e I was kidding about the hyper activity due to cuteness overload. You guys can't tell a joke from a serious post. -

All this stuff makes me think that if they had worked on other parts of the game instead of areas we won't even see the game would not have been released in such a bad state.
On the other hand, it also makes me think that they have a lot of planned out content. -
05-13-2011, 11:48 AMAzurymber
honestly i found most of the high level areas prettier and more unique (less cut and paste) than most of the areas we are used to. I feel like they had planned the game out and had all this awesome stuff coming, and then rushed it out and got completely distracted by other things like UI problems and gameplay.

I don't get why there's rank 99 mobs in the starter areas. I'm not sure I want to be ranking up in these areas in five years time when I'm 90. I'd hope by then we have many other nicer areas. Or is SE planning to take the cap in this game past 100 and 99 will be reached a lot sooner?

I walked. All of the areas are accessable with relative ease for the most part. Just got to dodge a few dragons for the first ones in Gridania.

Co-ordinates.
Nine Ivies's Area:
[55,21] Temple of the Twelve (Tentative Name I decided on :P)
[53,22] Small houses on the Tree (This is only 1, I forgot where were the ones that had 3 Houses)
[53,20] Blocked off Sylph Village
[52,22] Area where you can peep a little
We went from Nine Ivies>Temple>Blocked Village>Verdant Drop>Lynxpelt Patch.
We went to Larkscall after, but didn't find much thing there so we went to Crimson Bark instead, to Lichenweed Node, but I had to go to bed so I didn't see the thing, but my Friend explored and found themselves A Tree, A Lake, and a Waterfall, which sounded fascinating to me since they doesn't seem to look like normal ones.(I asked them, "Did you guys found anything cool after I went to bed?")
Mor Dhona's Area:
[6,15] Entrance to the Crystal Chamber(Tentative Name)
[18,15] Singing Shards Area, this place seemed The 2nd Nicest place in Mor Dhona, It's high up and you can get a nice view of Mor Dhona. -

All I could find at Fury's Gaze after like 10 deaths worth of exploration was a rock with a whole in it. I tried waiting for sunrise to see if the sun rose through the whole (because I thought that would make for a nice screenshot) but then I got bored and left.
