NOTE: This zone and the West Commonlands zone were revamped and merged into one zone: Commonlands.

Full of wandering animals and orcs, two guard stations, inns, vendors, and the watchful eye of Sergeant Slate, this area is a popular destination for lower level players. Just beware of occasional griffin passing through.

Brevin Guirre - This NPC is giving out group tasks not far from the Nektulos zone line. I have not identified what task he gives, since it takes a group in order to receive the task. If anyone knows what task he gives, it would be helpful. Thank you.

There are three named Dark Elves in a hut in the East Commons. General R'Lac, Colonel Tessix, and Tactician V'Dorim. They are roughly level 70. They do not respond to dark elves or trolls other than to insult them - they are dubious to these races. They are threatening to halflings. They cannot be engaged at this time either.

This mob was found both in Nektulos Forest, as well as in the E.Commons, near some houses not far from the center pathway. I only saw one formation in Nektulos, near Lavastorm zone, but there were 3x formations w/captains in EC.

In both zones, there were multiple mobs with these Captains, in formations of 20 mobs (4 rows by 5 columns) in EC, I counted 3x "a shaman"(troll) 6x "a warrior"(Troll), 4x "a warrior" (D.Elf), and 7x "a necromancer" (D.Elf) per group.

One of the Captains in EC (the center formation guy) had some sort of Glowing wand in his hand. The other two had old sword graphic weaps visible on them (same as rusty graphic.

All /conned thresteningly to a good frog pally (even though I killed more than a few Guardian factioned GFay mobs and /con dubious to Guardian faction now :P).

The event was locked at the time of the screenies, but i got a few nice shots of the captains and formations. Hopefully we will get a shot at downing a few of these, and maybe seeing exactly what that glowing wand-thingie is (please don't let it be more "rusty weap" craploot :P).

Will submit pics as always.

I highly suspect this has something to do with the posted Lore concerning an upcoming war. And likely is a lead in to the next expansion. My guild just saw them today. I wouldn't be shocked if there are other concerning high elves and trolls running around. First place I would looke is the Faydarks and Grobb (Gukta).

BTW, the Captains conned red to a lvl 65, so didn't feel like messing with them.

"a Neriak Captain" is also around, now. They're all red to my level 58. My chants did stick on one of the scouts, though. They were indifferent to me as both a DE and an Iksar, and threatening when I was Half-Elf.

I remember being like level 5 and soloing pumas and snakes etc... And everyone was scared of the air elemental that passed by the tunnel. Oh Yeah The EC TUNNEL or the old Bazaar. Torch 1 Torch 2 and Torch 3. Such good old memories. Now it consists of an LDoN camp in it. Sad, sad, sad.

Skeletal Footsoldiers and Skeletal Conscripts
# Oct 29 2004 at 11:13 AM Rating: Decent
Two new mobs for the Halloween GM event... the conscripts conned green to low blue to a level 12, and the footsoldiers conned mostly red (one yellow) to the same level 12. The footsoldiers dropped an awesome AC 20 NO DROP shield with some stat bonuses which I don't have yet but it's really neat. You can see the shield if the mob is carrying it. These GM events are a BLAST! Skeletal troopers (Harm Touch plus fear and engulfing darkness), lieutenants and commanders up to say, level 45 round out the skeleton army which pops every night around 7pm game time and led to loads of fun and quite a few deaths in between searching rotting corpses. All of a sudden you see the ground shaking and get the message "the skeleton army comes from the depths" or something close. I've only seen 1 weapon so far - Bladecaller of the Marshall, 24/12 1hs war rng rog and brd can use it and it procs a 36-38 point ice based direct damage spell at level 0 (nice!) What a great piece of equipment!!!

Woot to Sony for making Halloween such a blast... I'm going to stay up all night trying to get that shield tonight!

She is one of the NPCs introduced on April 7 2004 that can take you to the new zone Shadowrest.

Shadowrest is the new "graveyard" zone that corpses go to if they rot. That is, if you can't manage to get to your corpse in seven days, it will end up in Shadowrest, instead of being gone forever!

If you do have a corpse in Shadowrest, hail Kaite Ranna and say "I have lost a corpse", then "I am ready", and she'll port you to Shadowrest (only works if you actually have a corpse that rotted).

Once in Shadowrest, hail the "Keeper of Lost Things" and say "What bodies", then "Relinquish", and your corpse will pop at your feet.

Safe travels,
-Al

Love and hate this zone
# Oct 14 2003 at 7:36 PM Rating: Decent
I love and hate exping in this zone for a few reasons.

Love- Its a nice quite zone, well use to be before the new expansion came out.
Hate- You can't sit down for more than 5 minutes without being attacked by an animal or an orc.
Love- Its nice to either solo or find groups in this zone. And if your in trouble you can just run to the guards for protection.
Hate- The Freeport Milita will take any chance they get to kill your mob if its low on health. Imagine if your just barely killing a even or yellow con mob and it starts to run over a hill, then suddenly that darn Slate comes and finnishes your mob and you don't get the exp! Thats gotta bite!
Love- You can get to lvl 12 or even 15 if you group at the orcs. As you kill them collect thier deathfists belts but I don't think many people buy them anymore.
Hate- Though this is rare but Griffins can attack you and kill you instantly. Luckily Slate can kill him, if you make it to him in time that is.
Love- This is a wonderfull zone if your just farming supplies for tailoring. Lots of silks can drop off of spiderlings and large spiders, also a wide variaty of pelts can drop from bears, cats and wolfs.
Well thats all I can think of about the pros and cons about hunting in this zone, if anyone can think of any more, just reply!
Question

According to Allakhazam there are adventure merchants in NRo. Can i use the points i got from the EC (Ruj Hills) adventure in nro and in ec?

Yes and no. Heh.. Thought you'd like that answer.

Well - Here's what I have figured out. If you have a total of 500 points to spend (100 from each camp), then you can only buy something from each camp that is 100 and no more. But there is a twist. The max points you earned in a certain camp, is the amount you can spend no matter what. Example. I have 700 points to spend total. I received 500 of those from The East Commons camp. But I already spent 200 of those EC points for some spells. Leaving me with 300 EC points. Now I have 500 pts still. Because my max points in EC are 500, I can spends all those points there. Atleast, that's what I've noticed.

/agrees , also I'd like to add that as you do adventures in each dungeon more and more items are unlocked in the adventure merchant. So you can get points in all zones but you would have needed to do enough adventures in that certain theme to get items to appear in the merchant.

I was coming in from desert ro and saw what looked like about 3-4 groups gathering for a raid of some type..as i got closer I noticed they were all npcs and not pcs....apparently they were all there to get ready for some massive quest dependant on this one toon that cant stop having visions.......

# May 25 2003 at 10:12 AM Rating: Decent
On the north side of EC the mountain is cut off and you are able to drop off and you will be planted in the middle of the zone with your /loc told if you are being chased and dont want to die you can run off the edge and most likely they will be gone this is not recommened but nothing bad has happened to me. And I have bad luck on that game.
