Highpass Hold

Outdoor Antonica Lv 15–25

🗺 Zone map

The in-game map for this zone. North is up.

A narrow mountain pass through the highlands with a small fortified settlement of buildings, bars, and tradeskill stations mid-zone. Gnolls hold the north end and tougher orcs hold the south, so players camp the concentrated spawns while it doubles as a key cross-continent travel corridor.

How to Get to Highpass Hold

Eastern Karana (north), Kithicor Forest (south), and High Keep (east gate).

EnemiesGnolls (warriors, soothsayers, shamans) at the north end; orcs (soldiers, conscripts, medics, scouts, shamans) at the stronger south end; a bandit camp near the gates.

Notable NPCs

  • Recfek Shralok named mob Orc bandit; drops the sought-after Shralok Pack bag.
  • Hagnis Shralok named mob Orc bandit; drops the Shiny Brass Halberd.
  • Vexven & Grenix Mucktail named mobs Gnoll nameds dropping Cracked Darkwood Shield / Polished Granite Tomahawk.
  • Captain Orben / Captain Ashlan quest-givers Give orc- and gnoll-scalp turn-in tasks.
  • Dovik Greenbane merchant General-goods vendor in the settlement.

Dangers

The southern orc entrance is much tougher than the gnoll north end and can overwhelm underleveled players; as a major thoroughfare, higher-level travelers and bandits can catch soloers near the gates.

Tips

Hug the gnoll (north) side to level, and pass the orc (south) end quickly or invisible. Use the settlement's bars and tradeskill stations as a safe rest hub between pulls.
