Erud's Crossing is a quiet body of water that sandwiches the cities of Qeynos and Erudin.
It consists of a single island inhabited by a small clan of Kerrans as well as some local wildlife
(namely vampire bats and various other vermin like snakes and spiders).

Just off the coast are the remains of a sunken ship that is host to numerous undead creatures.
The waters in this area are shark-infested, so take caution if swimming out from shore.

While attempting to do a quest in Gukta. I had to go to Eruds crossing to kill Undead Emaciated Zombies, I found a Undead Erudite Sailor that was Dark Blue to a 44 ench. Feeling brave I rooted and nuked him. When he broke the root, my pet took over and proceded to die. The Sailor when from 75% back to 100% HP WHILE getting hit by my pet for 44 a shot, and my DoT doing 11. After pet died, I was low on mana so I rooted and gated. Will go back and make sure I am at FM so I can kick his @$$.
funny story
# Dec 19 2003 at 6:44 AM Rating: Decent
When I was a stupid newbie I use to hunt willow wisps here for plat and exp in the teens. Well I saw a Eurdite sitting in the hole and I decided he needed to die. I conned him and figured I could kite (I was a druid) him around the beach. He turned out to be tougher than what I thought and I quickly ran out of mana. My swim was almost 100 so I swam out underwater and after enduring breath and thought he would drown. Turns out NPC's do not breath like regular charaters. To my dismay he caught up and waxed me in the middle of the water. LOL took me about 3 hours the next day after I camped furious to find the body. Had to commision a bard to find it and she couldnt even find it. There use to be the trick where you could open your inventory window and be able to see underwater like you were above it. Just a funny story and warning on all non breathing npc's.

First time I saw this slimy green froglok looking thing. He conned green to me at 55, and yet was casting very high level shaman spells, like Pox of Bertox, Malo, Malosi, Bane of Nife, and Blast of Venom. Max hit was for 25, and he has less than 663 hps. One nuke killed him and I resisted everything he threw at me, except for the Malo. He spawned inside the sunken ship with 4 zombie guardians around him. I can not target the guardians, and they do not do anything it looks like. Maldok didn't drop any noteable loot, just some minor change. Btw, Maldok doesn't see through improved invis.

Conned green to me at level 47. I had the same experience with his spells-- he kept casting Poxx of Bertox and Malosi, but I resisted all of them (MR only about 55).

Shaman following Ooglyn out to the waiting spot for the Test of Patience will come very close to his hideout, so be ready to swat this pest if he comes after you.

Run into him a few days ago doing the shaman quest, almost killed my level 34 shaman thanks to Poxx of Bertox landing, manage to kill him though. Very nasty, spent the first half of the battle chain healing myself. He went down quick after a envenemed breath and a bit of melee. Left me almost out of mana and on 33% health though.

He conned green to me at level 34. I was doing a quest that had just abruptly ended. It said I could go look for the ship. I knew where it was, so I went there, and there he was. I was going to hail him to see what he had to say, but I wasn't thinking, being 3 A.M. in the morning, so I accidentally pressed the wrong key, 8, which is my Pet Attack hotkey. llWe, suddenly I was dead. It didn't seem to be a nuke, as it didn't show damage, but it said: You feel bogus as an unknown spell accosts you. Well, it was interesting... He meleed me for 48.

New Mobs and Quests
# Mar 23 2003 at 3:53 AM Rating: Decent
The frantic Kerran is an old mob, he is for a cleric quest.

There was added a few new mobs with LoY. In the wreck there is a Yun Assistant Maldok now. He will not talk much to me.

Nifta now is a quest mob. He reacts to a question you get as part of a charms quest out of Erudin. He tells you how the ship The Light's Glory was overcome by pirates and asks you to look for clues. The clue are on one of three new mobs. To drowned (or is it undead? ) troll sailors and a drowned erudite sailor in the deep end quite a bit to the right of the wreck.

The seahorses, snakes and spiders now drops seahorse roes used in dye for LoY robes. The various sharks now drops lake pebbles a no drop drop, that I don't know what is for.

Island Madmen

I was on Erud's crossing for the first time with my ranger and he was about 14. I soloed an Island Madmen and he was pretty easy. Then another aggroed me, and I took him out as well. The third one aggroed me, and I STILL would have been ok, but there was a FOURTH, and he nuked me with (I think druid) spells, while the other one meleed me. Long story short, corpse run to Erud's crossing because of these guys. Watch out if you wanna kill them, because they come in herds.
4 Island Madmen last night
# Jan 29 2003 at 9:45 AM Rating: Decent
Went to the Island to hunt wisps w/my 13 Druid, did a who and I was the only player there. Went to the top of the mountain/crater and noticed that there were 4 Island madmen up and about. I managed to pull one to the shore and kill it and then another one aggro'd to me and I killed it. Went to the pier to mana up and heal. Went looking for the others and I found one by the shore, started to attack, after a minute we were both down to about half health, I had half mana so I was not concerned, when my keyboard and mouse locked up, major ouch, then I watched myself die. Never planned on a hardware failure but it does happen. Oh well, remember, it is just a game, and things do happen. :)
Any faction hits on the Erudite Madman?
# Jan 27 2003 at 9:43 AM Rating: Decent
I was with my 13 Druid and noticed this guy. Conned very red to me so I decided not to do a foolish thing.
How to make money here!
# Oct 30 2002 at 10:00 AM Rating: Decent
Ok, here's what you do if the Aquas in BB are camped:

1 - Load up on backpacks
2 - Go to Erud's Crossing
3 - Kill wisps
4 - Throw away anything that isn't a Greater Lightstone
5 - Repeat until all of your backpacks are full of Greater Lightstones
6 - Go to the Gypsy Camp in North Karana, turn in the GLs to one of the gypsy chicks for exp and a book
7 - Sell the books back to the gypsy for *10pp*!!
8 - Rinse, wash, repeat

Sent my Ranger 26 to hunt for Zombie skins and Shark skins and some GLS's and Spiderling Silks while I was at it. The drop rate on GLS's is now rare in that I got 0 GLS's in about 30 wisp kills (only got 3 LS's). The drop rate on the silks is either uncommon or not at all as I got 0 silks for about 5 kills. The Zombie Sailors drop skins about 1 in 3 kills but they respawn fairly quickly.

Killed about 20 sharks and saw no Shark meats; there are LOTS of shark in two groupings - one just to the left of the dock and another about half way from the dock clockwise towards the shipwreck. The second grouping also has several Killer Sharks in which were rtm as well.

As reported above, was not able to target the Guardians Zombies so I left them alone. Saw an undead troll, undead erudite, and other undeads on track but they were rtm so I left them alone as well.
Crazed Kerran

While swimming around Erud's crossing I saw a crazed Kerran in a little boat. He was jumping up and down and scowled at me(all the others were amiable). He was red to 15 SK

There is an erudite who spawns in the crater in the middle of the island. His name is Yelesom Paust, and conned db at 21 and dubious, so i figured he'd be easy and on heretic faction...

He has a damage absorber and nukes for around 170, and thefaction hits were Deepwater Knights and High Council of Erudin worse, Heretics better.

Had I not had my druid there the war would've been toast =P
Boat to this island is much faster these days
# Aug 16 2002 at 10:37 AM Rating: Decent
It appears to me as if the trip from the docks to this island is much fast and that the boat leaves more often. Do others sense this too or is it just my imagination?
Groups are the way to kill wisps here
# Aug 16 2002 at 8:54 AM Rating: Decent
I'm a lvl 11 Cleric and while I can solo a wisp there is down time for healing and getting my mana up. Last night I grouped with a 11 Mage and a 11 Barbarian Shaman and it was non-stop pulling. We had to stop and rest for a bit because we pulled all of the wisps and it was great xp and we each got a few GLS's. It's great in a small tight group because there is no down time between pulls. Some wisps were dark blue, black and yellow to me but with the 3 of us it did not matter.

Frantic kerran
# Jan 28 2002 at 11:11 PM Rating: Default
Today like any other day I was taking the boat to Odus when due my cat jumping on my keyboard I fell into the ocean, I panic and sent messages to my guild mates asking for the direction to the island in Erudin' Crossing "after some really funny jokes and sense headings I made my way to a odd mob " Frantic kerran" he con red to my 16 level monk. The "Friantic Kerran" was in the middle of nowhere in a row boat due south east of the island. I ask my guild mates and other PC have they ever seen him and the answer was no, does anyone have any information on this mob. I guessing being that he is in the middle of the ocean, by taking him to the island you may get a reward??

Just to narrow down the level on this guy he cons yellow to my 17 ranger, that would make him about 18-20 I belive, someone else would have to confirm that though. Also for positioning I didn't write down the /loc but my ranger could track him from Captain Vekeros' position. I trcked him while recovering a corpse at loc -1200 +3700

The Frantic Kerran is part of the Geologist;s Purlioned Tools quest in Erudin...Erdudite Pally and Clerics only, results in either leggings or arm slot mail pieces.
