HUNTING GUIDE

=====================================

This list is a basic guide for those looking for good places to hunt. It is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a complete list of zones in Norrath. Those listed here are merely the most important and/or interesting zones for general hunting, questing and harvesting purposes. Instanced zones are generally not included, for example; neither are epic or raid zones, none of which are going to be the destinations of "spur of the moment" hunters.

Zones preceded by a single asterisk (*) can only be entered after you've completed an access quest. Those followed by a double asterisk (**) are zones in which you will find harvesting nodes.

=====================================

TRAVEL TIPS:

Travel between the "old world" and Faydwer is primarily by boat. Boats to the Butcherblock Mountains can be boarded at the docks in either the Thundering Steppes or Nektulos Forest; travelers can also of course sail from Butcherblock to either of those zones.

As well, sorcerers (warlocks and wizards) can teleport themselves and/or their group members to wizard spires in Antonica, the Commonlands and Greater Faydark. Druids (furies and wardens) can open portals to druid rings in Antonica, the Commonlands, Greater Faydark, the Butcherblock Mountains and the Steamfont Mountains. Any character can use a druid portal while it's open, so long as he or she has already visited the destination druid ring at some point and harvested a "blessed leaf" from within it. Characters using a portal do not have to be grouped with the druid who opened it.
