Dankmoors

Dankmoors is a low-level area. As you head further into the zone the mobs get tougher. The hardest mob in the swamp is the Xvart Boss and hift second. If you're below level 4 I'd avoid the Xvart boss as he can do a bit of damage if you're not armoured well.

As you move south to the castle ruins the mobs will get harder so make sure you're well equipped (the toughest mob in this zone is nearly 20k experience). Above ground the mobs aronud the castle are from around 2k to 11k each, the toughest if the Giant Moat Snake in the Middle of the Rope Bridge (Mr). If you kill the Giant Moat Snake you'l find a stone key. The key unlocks the door to the Ghosts Lair (Gl) in the Dungeon. The Dungeon contains many zombies and mobs of increasing difficulty.

If you'd like to make a quick run to this zone, we recommend the following directions, starting at The Common in Shadowdale: 15e5s2e2s.
