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

i mentioned it and why i didn't include it in the 5th post in the thread.

Put it simply: I don't want to spoil everything
I left out any areas that are easily reachable and only included stuff around high-level mobs.
People should explore the rank 10 20 30 and 40 leve areas themselves since it shouldn't be frustrating since there aren't many agro mobs.

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.

[Azurymber]

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.

[Taruna-Aeon]

do you have the position of that? i'd like to add it in.

Hallo Azu! :3

its (21,7) (21,8) just northwest of the gate "Lasthold" in The Black Shroud ^____^ (I'm Ruac's friend by the way )

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?

They could reduce the level of those mobs easily.

Further more I don't think that's proof of leveling plans but more of guards for areas not yet completely developed.
