Full of wandering animals and orcs, three guard stations, inns, vendors, and the watchful eye of Sergeant Slate, this area is a popular destination for lower level players. Just be sure to keep an eye out for the occasional griffin or hill giant passing through, as well as the very rare werewolf outbreaks.

(Old comments from East and West Commonlands strategy boards and bestiary zone listings can be found on their respective pages: East and West.)

Why isn't Greemi Draygoon listed and what is she for? has to be a quest npc or something-- rather high level and spells don't stick on her

Worthless revamp for a worthless expansion
(Prophecy of Ro)
Bring the old zones back.

I checked yesterday (5/18/08) and the new Orcs and the experience potions no longer seem to be in the zone. Can anyone confirm that they have been deleted from the game, or did I miss something?

Thanks,
Parax

I heard reports in my guild from a lvl 40 about exp pots being dropped by orcs. Well the orcs con green to a lvl 76 and the killers hit for 1000hps+. Nasty, I remember just a few weeks ago when I did my epic the lvl was dead.

The Commonlands plague just seems to bring down your STR 5 points. I noticed it when I passed through and after getting the plague, I became encumbered.

Noob alert!

I have noticed that throughout the revamped Commanlands, there are hill giants wandering. This includes the area just beyond the "village" in the mid zone area near some merchant huts (the eastern terminus of Sgt. Slate's patrol route), further west, near the druid rings and merchant huts out by that way, and everyplace in between.

I have been in the zone several times and have noticed this. I did not stick around long enough to observe the pathing of the giants, but I have noticed as many as four up at once (!!) and that they all seem to roam pretty good distances. Considering how sand giants are so common these days in North/South Ro, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if SOE drastically increased the spawn rate and pathing areas of Hill giants, which were pretty rare before in west commons, and (as far as I know), didn't appear at all in east commons.

I did not observe any griffins up, so it looks as those are still rare in the commonlands.
