Contents [hide] Hate's Envy T'Vatar Post Wanderlust Fair Shadow Oak

Darklight Wood is the starting zone for all new characters choosing Neriak as their starting location.

Following this Progression Quest Series will move you one camp at a time, every 5 levels, from Hate's Envy to Shadow Oak. While here, you should also complete the Darklight Drifter Exploration Achievement.

NOTE: At level 10, or close to it, you should take the trip to Neriak and the Neriak Quest Series as there are numerous quests there for levels 10-11 which actually send you back out to Darklight Wood to work them. When you get the quest Report to Zezas from Laexyra Y'Barriath of T'Vatar Post, take that as your signal to go see the big city.
