The East Commonlands are situated near the eastern coast of Antonica.
The zone itself is somewhat of a hub, as it's connected
to four other zones. There are spaces here for both low- and high-
level newbies. The monsters are plentiful, and can offer some
great hunting if you're in a group. However, there are dangers
here, and they are great. The main danger are the griffins. They
fly around the zone, attacking whoever they see without provocation.
And whoever they
attack ends up dead. If you see one, either a) put on an invisibility
spell or b) run like hell. People in the zone will sometimes call
out "Griff at Inn #." They are referring to the four inns scattered
throughout the zone. The inns are numbered 1 to 4, 1 being the one closest
to Freeport. Learn to recognize these warnings. There are other randomly aggressive
creatures, such as orcs and undead, but the danger is less from them.
If you stay as close to guards as possible while hunting, you can
sometimes escape some pretty tough spots, but it's no sure thing.
The zone is also used as a marketplace and stopoff for people traveling
to other areas. Here you can buy armor, food, throwing daggers, arrows,
gems, pottery supplies, whatever. And if a merchant doesn't have what
you want, a player might. People often hold bazaars or events in the
tunnel to North Ro. No monsters come in this tunnel, so if you're looking
for a place to rest, this is it.
Final Verdict
Hunting is very dangerous because of the griffins. If you feel that
you can protect yourself, then this place has plentiful cannon fodder
for you. However, if you decide that the danger is too great, I would suggest using this
place as a waypoint on your journeys to other zones. Stock up on food, arrows, whatever
you need, and move on.
