Xinderoth Guide

Xinderoth is the name of the level 400 World Area. Generically, when players talk about Xinderoth they reffer to the whole range of levels between 400 and 421 that start when you reach the City of Xinderoth. The area is notorius for being particularly difficult, involving a lot of connected quests and huge maps with sparse creatures.

General information and tips

• Compared to the normal realms, all the main Xinderoth areas are HUGE. While 16x16 to 18x18 are common dimensions for an area, main Xind areas can go up to 40x40. On average, a Xinderoth area is more than four times the size of a normal area. Expect A LOT of walking. Light Foot is a must-have buff.
• The Xinderoth World Area leads to three locations : City of Xinderoth [400], Citadel of Xinderoth (Floor 10) [410] and Xinderoths Library [421]. So these are the only three places you can return to if you leave the Xinderoth area. If you have to get to the lvl 418 area for example, the only way to do so is to portal to Xinderoth -> Citadel of Xinderoth (Floor 10) and then walk through all the intermediary eight levels - we're talking about hundreds of stamina "wasted" just to get back to where you need. It is recommended that you have as much maximum stamina as possible before taking on Xinderoth.
• Unlike the normal realms, the creature density in the Xinderoth realms is much lower. You can walk for many squares and not find even one creature. And three or more creatures on the same square is actually uncommon in Xind. Use Animal Magnetism and Conserve. Players left notes on several of the wiki pages for the Xind realms with opinions on where the creature densities seem to be higher.
• The golden rule in Xinderoth is Plan Ahead. That includes getting max stam, find out what gear you will be needing, what quests are there ahead etc. The Xinderoth area is huge and there are a lot of quests so it's easy to lose yourself in it. You'll want to get as most out of the buffs you'll be using as possible.
• Also since you're gonna need to do most of the quests in Xinderoth to proceed, you'll want to do them in order, since "turning back" in Xind is a terrible option. There's a section about the Xind quests below. And since we're on the subject - many players advise on the second golden rule of Xinderoth - Don't drop any quest items (until you're really sure you won't need them anymore, that is - this guide will help you with that.)

Quests

City of Xinderoth

The first big area of Xinderoth is the City of Xinderoth. There are several tiny areas connected to it, and access to most of them is unlocked by (partially or totally) completing the quests in the area. There are a total of five quests before entering the Citadel :

1. Filthy Animals - starts in City of Xinderoth (8,33)
2. Festival Revelers - starts in Xinderoth Hall (2,2)
3. Lead Astray - starts in Stoneroot Engineering (2,2)
4. Bite the Hand - starts in City of Xinderoth (2,2)

These four have to be done in the above order. The fifth is separate :

• The Heat of Ambition - starts in City of Xinderoth (15,3)

None of these are mandatory to get to level 401 and proceed to the Citadel of Xinderoth (Floor 1).

Citadel of Xinderoth

The Citadel of Xinderoth has 20 huge floors with several tiny side rooms. Each of the main Citadel areas has one quest and most of these quests are connected.
