Northern Shadowdale Forest

Like most of the forests and woods surrounding Shadowdale, the Northern Forest is quite a safe area for Newbies. As long as you remember to 'con' all the mobs before you take them on you should be alright, as there aren't many aggresive mobs apart from Jermalines that have wandered into the forest from their tunnels. They'll try to backstab you and for Newbies this can be fatal.

If you'd like to make a quick run to this zone, we recommend the following directions, starting at The Common in Shadowdale: 2sw.
