Note: Location of storage in [[Aeth Aelfan]] changed increasing time needed to carry it there. If it is listed it may not best place anymore.

This page lists the '''best places''' for gathering items or performing skills. Did you ever wonder which is the best place to make Fire Essences? Or the best places to train on a certain [[creature]]? Here is where to search for it and add better locations if you find any.

Be warned: This is not primarily intended for beginners - often these places require you to travel to [[Irilion]] (C2) and some medium fighting skills to scare off monsters. Almost all locations in Irilion have the possibility of [[Leonard]] (alpha) appearing from 03:30 to 00:30.

== Harvesting ==
There are tons of places to harvest things, but there are always some spots which are much better than others.

=== [[Black Rose]] ===
* [[Morcraven Marsh]](C1) 00:25
Only a short walk to the outdoor storage.

* [[File:White Stone 25px.png]] [[White Stone]] 2x 00:25  [378,415]
* [[Portland]] (C1)
The [[double speed]] flowers are found on the path to the flower shop.

* [[Grubani Peninsula]] (C1)
The double speed flowers are found just over border from [[Naralik]] outside storage.  Great for those with [[Monster Magnetism Perk]] or who are no longer bothered by chimerans.

=== [[Blue Star Flower]] ===
* [[Naralik]] (C1) 00:15
Just 15 seconds from storage with double speed harvesting.

* [[Aeth Aelfan]] (C2)
Note: Location of storage in [[Aeth Aelfan]] changed increasing time needed to carry it there.
The flowers are not located near the storage entrance now.

=== [[Cactus]] ===
* [[Desert Pines]] (C1) 00:05
The cactus is located right in front of the storage entrance.

=== [[Chrysanthemum]] ===
* [[Morcraven Marsh]] (C1) 00:40
Outdoor storage using double speed speed harvest.

* [[Naralik]] (C1) 00:20
Single speed harvest, but half the distance from outdoor storage as Morcraven Marsh.

* [[Emerald Valley Trade Route]] (C2) 00:15
Harvest at double speed with a short walk to the outdoor storage.

=== [[Cinnabar]] ===
* [[Glacmor]] [[Waveneck Caves]] (C2)
Note: Location of storage in [[Aeth Aelfan]] changed increasing time needed to carry it there.
These caves in northwest [[Glacmor]] are your quickest option, using the [[Aeth Aelfan]] storage via the boat from Glacmor. This is also the safest route for [[Cinnabar|cinnabar]], with only a single [[hobgoblin]] roaming [[Aeth Aelfan]].

=== [[Coal]] ===
* [[White Stone]] [[Diamond Cave]] (C1) 01:00
In the north of White Stone, close to the [[Nordcarn]] exit, there is a cave with [[Gargoyles]] and [[Imp]]s, [[Quartz]], [[Blue Quartz]], [[Rose Quartz]] and [[Diamond]]. Right at the entry you can find [[Coal]], if it is full of harvesters, there is another one located over toward the wall with the [[Diamond|Diamonds]]. The closest storage is [[Nordcarn]] storage. This location is much closer than the location in [[Desert Pines]].

* [[Palon Vertas]] [[Southern cave]] (C2) 01:30
With only two rats to annoy you and with a short walk to an outdoor storage, this is a great place to harvest coal on Irilion.

=== [[Cotton]] ===
* [[Desert Pines]] (C1) 00:50
Hop the boat to [[VotD]] outdoor storage. Much faster than going to [[Desert Pines]] storage.

* [[Palon Vertas]] (C2) 00:15
A quick walk to the outdoor storage.

=== [[Diamond]] ===
* [[White Stone]] [[Diamond Cave]] (C1) 01:30
[[Diamond|Diamonds]], [[Blue Quartz]], [[Quartz]], [[Rose Quartz]] and [[Coal]] abound in this cave at the middle top of White Stone. [[Nordcarn]] storage is just a short walk away, after the map change, and is much faster than going down to [[White Stone]] storage.

* [[Melinis]] (C2) 00:30
The [[diamond]] is located in the sewers, suspended in mid-air above an elaborate quartz garland. Storage is also located in the sewers, although you do need to use the [[Teleport to Range Spell]] to reach it.

=== [[Emerald]] ===
* [[Naralik Catacombs]] (C1)
The room containing the emeralds has no creatures or monsters in it, so you can safely switch from [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] to [[Excavator Cape]] so as to harvest faster. '''Warning:''' Just remember to put [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] back on before leaving the [[Emerald]] room.

* [[Emerald Valley Caves]] (C2)
Though the entrance to the caves is a [[forum:288|secret]], this cave is very close to [[Viorica]]'s outdoor storage. And with the only monster being [[Armed Skeleton|Armed Skeletons]], many adventurers may not even need the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]] or [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] to harvest here safely.

=== [[Fruit]] ===
* [[Portland]] (C1) 00:20
20 seconds from storage with only Bob the Gob (and his clone) to watch out for.

* [[Aeth Aelfan]] (C2)
Note: Location of storage in [[Aeth Aelfan]] changed increasing time needed to carry it there. It may not best place anymore.
The fruit is no longer located right in front of the storage entrance.

* [[South Redmoon]] (C2) 00:05
An extremely short walk to the storage.

=== [[Iron Ore]] ===
* [[Naralik]] (C1) 01:25
[[Naralik Catacombs]] is the best place on C1 but [[Armed Male Orc]]s and [[Armed Female Orc]]s roam there so not much fun for low-level characters.

* [[Emerald Valley Caves]] (C2) 00:45
Though the entrance to the caves is a [[forum:288|secret]], this cave is very close to [[Viorica]]'s outdoor storage. And with the only monster being [[Armed Skeleton]]s, many adventurers may not even need the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]] or [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] to harvest here safely.

=== [[Lilacs]] ===

=== [[Ogre Toes]] ===
* [[Valley of the Dwarves]] [[Gold Mines]] (C1) 
[[Valley of the Dwarves]] [[Gold Mines]] is the place for Ogre Toes in Seredia. However, they are on the second floor, so you do have to deal with [[Female Orc|Female Orcs]].
* [[White Stone]] [[Tirnwood Undergrounds]] (C1) is alternate if you can not deal with Female Orcs this is best place to harvest with only a [[Small Gargoyle]] to deal with and is close to White Stone outdoor storage.

* [[Emerald Valley Caves]] (C2)
The [[Blue Quartz]] is on the far eastern wall past the last patch of [[Emerald]]s. It's a good alternative to [[Nordcarn]].

Just a short walk to the outdoor storage.

Just east of storage next to the building by the corn field. This is very close to the PV storage, and you can even leave the storage window open. 

* [[Valley of the Dwarves]] (C1) 00:15
Following the path south of storage, you will find red roses at the base of a tree east of the path (just across the red snapdragons at the rock). This is very close to the VotD storage, and you can even leave the storage window open.

* [[Emerald Valley Trade Route]] (C2) 00:35
Northwest of storage against a tree. Somewhat hidden by another bush, but it's there.

* [[Irsis]] (C2) 00:10
Walk directly east from the door and you'll find the [[Red Snapdragon]]s first. Only thing is that you have to go inside to drop it off into storage. [[Leonard]] stalks this area as well.

Just east of outdoor storage against the edge of the map. Don't even need to close the storage interface.

=== [[Ruby]] ===
* [[Nordcarn]] [[South Cave|Ruby Cave]] (C1)
Close to storage and with the worst monsters being Phantom Warriors (who will ignore you at defense 26), this cave is the prime locations on Seridia for harvesting [[Ruby|rubies]]. 

* [[Glacmor]] [[Waveneck Caves]] (C2)

With no creatures or monsters in the cave and a bit longer walk now to [[Aeth Aelfan]] storage, this may be the best location on Irilion for harvesting [[Ruby|rubies]].

* [[Tarsengaard]] (C1) 00:25
Just south of the storage behind a rock wall.

* [[South Redmoon]] (C2) 00:10

This cave is close to storage and has almost all the ingredients for Water Essences in it, except for [[Blue Lupine]], which is found just outside the [[Portland]] entrance.

* [[Palon Vertas]] (C2) 01:10
Best place on C2, since all of the others are in secret locations far from storage or are not harvestable.

=== [[Silver Ore]] ===
* [[Morcraven Marsh Caves]] (C1) 01:20
Use the South Cave and take the boat to the silver (it is about 10 seconds faster than using the north entrance). Note that you need a defense of 26 to harvest safely without a Monster Magnetism Cape.

=== [[Sulfur]] ===
* [[Emerald Valley Caves]] (C2) 00:45
Though the entrance to the caves is a [[forum:288|secret]], this cave is very close to [[Viorica]]'s outdoor storage. And the with the only monster being [[Armed Skeleton|Armed Skeletons]], many adventurers may not even need the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]] or [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] to harvest here safely.

* [[Crystal Caverns]] (C1) 01:30
To achieve this time, you must use the VotD storage. From VotD storage, take the boat to Desert Pines, and walk south to the teleport. When you appear at the west end of Evergreen Woods, walk southeast to the Crystal Caverns entrance. After harvesting, use "#beam me" to return to VotD storage (01:20).

A quick walk to the outdoor storage.

=== [[Swamp Candles]] ===

* [[Valley of the Dwarves]] (C1)
The outdoor storage is just north of the harvest location, also on the west side of the river. A good alternative for those who aren't safe in Naralik.

* [[Naralik]] (C1) 00:20
A short walk to the outdoor storage.

* [[Palon Vertas]] 00:15
A quick walk to the outdoor storage.

=== [[Toadstool]] ===
* [[South Redmoon]] (C2) 00:15
Behind storage next to a tree. Although you need to walk inside the building, this is by far the closest to storage. There is the worry of [[Leonard]] at night, otherwise there are no aggressive creatures on this map.

* [[Valley of the Dwarves]] (C1) 00:35
Unlike in [[White Stone]], there are no roaming monsters to worry about for those with low a/d. And the outdoor storage is just west over the river.

=== [[Tree Mushroom]] ===
* [[Morcraven Marsh]] (C1) 00:30
A short walk to the outdoor storage. For a cool trick, take one more step after you approach the tree.

* [[South Redmoon]] (C2) 00:10
A quick walk to the storage.

=== [[Vegetables]] ===
* [[Desert Pines]] (C1) 00:50

* [[Palon Vertas]] (C2)
Only 10 seconds away from storage.

=== [[Wheat]] ===
* [[White Stone]] (C1) 01:30
Right beneath the Crafting School in [[White Stone]]. Use the teleportal to get to the outdoor storage quickly.

* [[Idaloran]] (C2) 01:20
Use the outdoor storage in the middle of town.

Alternatively you can go on the city wall and harvest the [549,105] wheat without actually leaving town. If you want you can take some teleport essences if you hit a teleport nexus and want to avoid walking back to storage.

* [[Morcraven Marsh]] (C1) 00:20

Several very good locations for these, but these are the best for stocking large amounts for your [[ashes]] needs. All have branches only a few steps away from storage.

* [[White Stone]] (C1)
Only 2-3 steps east of storage (slightly in the woods heading in the direction of the castle). Warning: Gargoyles can be troublesome for lower level harvesters at night.

* [[Valley of the Dwarves]] (C1)
Directly south of storage, on the opposite side of the wall. An only slightly longer walk than the other options, but this is the best place if you are a newer player concerned about your safety in the other locations.

* [[Nordcarn]] (C1)
Only 2-3 steps north, outside the storage. This one, unlike the other three, has the disadvantage of an inside storage, slowing things down a bit requiring map changes and clicking on the storage NPC with each trip.

* [[Emerald Valley Trade Route]] (C2)
Only 2-3 steps east of storage.  Warning: Lenny can be troublesome for lower level harvesters at night.

=== [[Wormwood]] ===

== [[Alchemy]] ==

=== [[Earth Essence]] ===
* [[Southern cave]], [[Palon Vertas]] (C2)

=== [[Energy Essence]] ===
* [[Crystal Caverns]], [[Desert Pines]] (C1)
Outside [[Crystal Caverns]] Northern entrance you can find [[Tiger Lilly|Tiger Lillies]] and inside are [[Iron Ore]] and [[Silver Ore]]. You only need to bring [[Pickaxe|pickaxes]] and plenty of food to eat while you are harvesting and mixing.

* [[Bethel Mine]], [[Bethel]] (C2)
'''Warning:''' You will need [[Monster Magnetism Perk]], [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] or a defense of at least 86 (the ignore level for [[Feros]]) to use this mine. The east side of the mine has [[Iron Ore]] and [[Silver Ore]] are just a few steps from each other. Using the [[Palon Vertas]] storage, you can grab [[Tiger Lilly|Tiger Lillies]] in two places on the walk up to Bethel, then bag mix in the mine. Even with [[Feros]] ignoring you, you may need either [[Monster Magnetism Perk]] or bring [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] for the brief time in Bethel, if [[Desert Chimeran|Desert Chimerans]] still attack you.

=== [[Fire Essence]] ===
* Fire Essence Cave in [[Melinis]] (C2)
This cave contains food like [[Vegetables]] on a box, [[Fruits]] behind the same box, [[Toadstool|Toadstools]] and everything you need to make fire essences. The cave is inside Melinis city, so it is safe. The coordinates for the cave are [130,190]. The closest [[storage]] is [[Hazardel]], so bring essences for the [[Teleport to Range Spell]].

* [[Zirakgunda]], [[Zirakinbar]] (C2)
This abandoned subterranean city is a good source for these essences.  You can find [[Sulfur]] near ladder and Roses and [[Red Snapdragons]] are upstairs not very far from ladder. This map contains [[Fruits]] and nearby there are [[Toadstool|Toadstools]]. Storage is nearby in [[Palon Vertas]] or by boat to [[Aeth Aelfan]] or [[Irsis]]. Watch out for the [[Hobgoblin|hobgoblins]] upstairs but there are no creatures in [[Zirakgunda]]. Bot Laubster is near food and '''''may''''' buy surplus items or sell what you need to finish the job.

=== [[Health Essence]] ===
* [[Morcraven Marsh Caves]] in [[Morcraven Marsh]] (C1)
In [[Morcraven Marsh]], harvest [[Chrysanthemum]] between the South cave entrance and the [[Naralik]] exit. Enter the South ([[Gold Ore]]) cave, then take the boat across to the [[Silver Ore]] and mix.

=== [[Life Essence]] ===
* [[Wyrmgoth Underground]] in [[Aeth Aelfan]] (C2)
Enter the underground through the waterfall. In the northeast side of the underground are [[Silver Ore]] and [[Sunflower|Sunflowers]] are not many steps apart. You can also find some [[Toadstool|Toadstools]] in the underground, if you need food. Warning: [[Hobgoblin|hobgoblins]] spawn at the [[Silver Ore]] and the cave contains [[Armed Female Orc|armed female orcs]], [[Armed Male Orc|armed male orcs]] and a single [[Male Ogre|ogre]] that could get to this area, so its not perfectly safe - keep a [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] handy or have the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]].

* [[Morcraven Marsh Caves]] in [[Morcraven Marsh]] (via [[Naralik]] Storage) (C1)
From [[Naralik]] storage, harvest [[Sunflower|sunflowers]] west of Ardur the bookseller. Go to [[Morcraven Marsh]], enter the South ([[Gold Ore]]) cave and take the boat across to the [[Silver Ore]] to mix.

* [[Morcraven Marsh Caves]] in [[Morcraven Marsh]] (via [[Morcraven Marsh]] Storage) (C1)
Use the [[Morcraven Marsh]] storage, harvest [[Sunflower|sunflowers]] north of storage, then head into the cave.

=== [[Matter Conglomerate]] ===
* [[Zirakgunda]], [[Zirakinbar]] (C2)
All ingredients for Matter Conglomerates are found on this map. Swamp candles are found outside while Coal, Iron, Sulfur and all three types of quartz are inside. Bring some [[Pickaxe|pickaxes]] and food to make as many as you can carry. This map contains [[Fruits]] and nearby there are [[Toadstool|Toadstools]]. Storage is nearby in [[Palon Vertas]] or by boat to [[Aeth Aelfan]] or [[Irsis]]. Watch out for the [[Hobgoblin|hobgoblins]] upstairs but there are no creatures in [[Zirakgunda]]. Bot Serpentlord is near food and '''''may''''' buy surplus items or sell what you need to finish the job.

=== [[Matter Essence]] ===
* [[Crystal Caverns]], [[Desert Pines]] (C1)
Enter [[Crystal Caverns]] by the Southern entrance, and go left (south). As you go round the corner, you will find an outcrop of [[Iron Ore]]. Immediately to the south contained within a stone circle, can be found a fairly impressive growth of [[Quartz]] which is surrounded by both [[Blue Quartz|Blue]] and [[Rose Quartz]]. You only need to bring a few [[Pickaxe|pickaxes]] and plenty of food to eat while you are harvesting and mixing.

It is far more efficient to create the essences here, than to gather the ingredients separately. A matter essence weighs only 1 EMU, but the ingredients weigh 10 EMU.

As a bonus, try using the 'pointy finger' on the Quartz for a nice surprise.

* [[Zirakgunda]], [[Zirakinbar]] (C2)
This abandoned subterranean city is a good source for these essences, as you can find all the Quartz in one location and the [[Iron Ore]] is not very far away. This map contains [[Fruits]] and nearby there are [[Toadstool|Toadstools]]. Storage is nearby in [[Palon Vertas]] or by boat to [[Aeth Aelfan]]. Watch out for the [[Hobgoblin|hobgoblins]] upstairs but there are no creatures in [[Zirakgunda]]. Bots Laubster, Nial and Serpentlord are near food and will buy surplus items or sell what you need to finish the job.

* [[Melinis]] (C2)
Gather up the [[Iron Ore]] in the steel cave and mule it over to the city center where you'll find a plank with all forms of quartz within easy reach. Just sit right down with your bag. Then take everything to [[South Redmoon]] via the boat ride or to [[Hazardel]] storage. Be sure to bring your [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] or have the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]].

=== [[Spirit Essence]] ===
* [[Morcraven Marsh Caves]] in [[Morcraven Marsh]] (C1)
From [[Morcraven Marsh]] storage bring [[Mercury]] and [[Food|food]], enter the South ([[Gold Ore]]) cave. [[Silver Ore]] is a boat trip away, mix either at gold or silver deposit.

* [[Palon Vertas]] for the adventurous spirit (C2)
You can mine the [[Cinnabar]] on this map to create the [[Mercury]]. Harvest the [[Gold Ore]] from the Gold Cave. Use the boat for Kusamura Jungle, where there is a [[Silver Ore]] deposit.

=== [[Water Essence]] ===
* [[Portland]] [[Eastern Cave|Cave]] to [[White Stone]] City (C1)
Everything you need to make water essence is very close to this cave. Simply bring a few pickaxes along and something to eat. [[Blue Lupine]]s are in Portland just north of the cave entrance. [[Blue Star Flower|Blue Star Flowers]] are inside the cave, just north of the cave exit to Portland. [[Sapphire|Sapphires]] are south of the cave exit to Portland. You can find [[Blue Quartz]] in front of the cave entrance to [[White Stone]] City.

=== [[Iron Bar]] and [[Steel Bar]] ===
* Steel Bar Cave in [[Melinis]] (C2)
Steel Bar cave is in the northeast of Melinis. It contains [[Coal]] and [[Iron Ore]] close to each other. The cave is outside Melinis city, so its not safe to go to - use a [[Monster Magnetism Cloak]] or have the [[Monster Magnetism Perk]] unless you want to fight [[Fluffy Rabbit|fluffies]] and [[Desert Chimeran|desert chimerans]]. The closest storage is the [[Hazardel]] hazardous storage entrance to the north of the city. A good way to make the bars is to first go to the FE cave in [[Melinis]] to make fire essences and harvest food - about half FE and half food - and then continue to the Steel Bar cave, making the bars from scratch.

* [[Zirakgunda]], [[Zirakinbar]] (C2)
This abandoned subterranean city is a good place to make these bars.  You can find [[Iron Ore]] near the entrance ladder with [[Coal]] close by. This map contains [[Fruits]] and nearby there are [[Toadstool|Toadstools]]. Storage is nearby in [[Palon Vertas]] or by boat to [[Aeth Aelfan]] or [[Irsis]]. Watch out for the [[Hobgoblin|hobgoblins]] upstairs but there are no creatures in [[Zirakgunda]]. Bot Laubster is near food and '''''may''''' buy surplus items or sell what you need to finish the job.

== Fighting ==

=== [[Rat|Rats]] ===
* [[Isla Prima Cave]] (C1)
Due to it's [[Rat|rat]] population, this cave is referred to as the "[[Acronyms#I|IP]] rat cave".

=== [[Deer]] ===
* [[Desert Pines]] (C1)
In the Evergreen Woods to the north are many [[Deer]] spawns.

=== [[Male Goblin|Male Goblins]] ===
* Valley of the Dwarves [[Gold Mines]] (C1)
Just off to the side of the main entrance is an area where two [[Male Goblin|goblins]] spawn, and there are several more deeper in the caves.

=== [[Skeleton|Skeletons]] ===
* Portland's [[Titanium Mines]] (C1)
The upper level has two [[Skeleton]] spawns, without any other monsters, making it perfect for lower level players. Several spawns of both [[Skeleton|unarmed skeletons]] and [[Armed Skeleton|armed skeletons]] can be found on the cave's lower level.  [[Phantom Warrior]] has been moved so is not a danger unless you take ladder down to section it is in.

=== [[Female Orc|Female Orcs]] ===
* Valley of the Dwarves Temple (C1)
This a popular place to sharpen defense skills while picking up some useful items like [[Enhanced Wooden Shield| Enhanced Wooden Shields]], [[pickaxe|pickaxes]], staffs and [[Ring of Valley of the Dwarves|VotD rings]]. There are multiple spawns of [[Female Orc|Female Orcs]] in the Garden and the Maze. Just be prepared to fight if you dare enter the temple.

=== [[Male Ogre|Male Ogres]] ===
* [[White Stone]] Secret Area [[forum:710|("The Meep")]] (C1)
It has a single [[Male Ogre|ogre]] spawn, but there is also a [[troll]] spawn in there which makes sure this training session is going to earn you good money. Plus, it's rather close to a storage (NC storage) and still not as widely known as [[Vermor Castle]]. 

* [[Idaloran Mines]] (C2)
Right at the east entrance to the mines, there are three [[Male Ogre|ogre]] spawns. It's impossible to train on all three, but it is possible to use the first two spawns as a double spawn.
