The Nektulos Forest is a dark forest located to the north of the
Commonlands. It serves as the newbie area for the nearby Dark
Elf city of Neriak. It doesn't do too good a job of it. There is
a designated area for players around level 4 and under.
The rest of the area is for higher-level newbies. Monsters from
outside that area will not enter, offering a small level of protection.
The problem is that this
lower-level area is very small. This means that if there
are too many players here, you get no monsters. Also,
this area is so small that it's very easy to accidentally
wander out and get attacked by a wolf or something. Almost all the
monsters here will aid their comrades if one of them is under attack. And when the zone is so
small, and the monsters don't leave that zone, it's very easy
to get mobbed by wandering monsters. The area outside of that
small low-level area isn't much better. Out here, the only
wandering monsters are aggressive and will attack you on sight.
Another thing that's really annoying is that these things
called Guardians will kill any other monsters that they see. This
can really get on your nerves: you're killing some monster, it takes
5 minutes, you're almost done, and some Guardian comes along and kills
it. There's another random danger to watch out for. Sometimes an
Orc Runner will make a dash for the Neriak entrance. For some
reason, this makes all the guards in the area attack evil
races, which doesn't normally happen. Another problem is that there is very little loot here - no bags,
boxes, armor, weapons, etc.
Final Verdict
This place stinks. No loot and very few monsters to kill. I suggest
you get out of here as soon as you can. If you want a good evil
hunting zone, try the Innothule Swamp.
