Champions |
|
|
Ironshell |
Just like a veteran Karka. Stmops, rolls, phases at 25% health. Grants retaliation every 25% of its first health. Regenerates to 50% when initially killed |
|
Oakenscorn |
Melee stomp that may 1-shot. Summons choyas as backup. Dies quickly |
|
Old Stonehoof |
Headbutts players. While headbutting, he launches players into the air multiple times. Can be annoying, but quick if the squad is large or has good DPS |
|
Exterminator IG-04 |
This should be a legendary boss. Heavy mechanics. Watch out for telegraphs, when he crouches, he does an expanding AoE of death. At 50% HP and lower, he does multiple wave attacks and laser beams. Avoid if this boss's location is on a meta event |
|
Emogg the Soulbeast |
Even though he's a soulbeast, he has a pet attacking players. Both die extremely quick |
|
Magneton Manipulator |
Does a vortex, anti-gravity push to players when he spins with AoEs around him. Can be annoying to kill |
|
The Prickly Pair |
TWO CHOYAS! They both roll around |
2 Champions instead of 1 |
Nepheretes |
He's the same as an Awakened Canid. Burrows, knockdown players, and slashes. Can be quick with a large squad |
|
Vebis the Inquisitor |
Laser beams in front |
|
Crystalwing |
Same as a Branded Griffon. Evades attacks periodically. Melee AoEs |

Node Farm Calculator
While this farm uses specific Glyphs, check out the
Node Farm Calcaulator to test out the estimated profits with different Glyphs. What are displayed in the benchmarks are not neccessarily the best Glyphs to use for maximum profits.
Route:
Start at Atholma Waypoint [&BEMLAAA=]. Northeast of the waypoint has a quick plant farm. Most of the plants are not worth much, but can bring a lot of Volatile Magic with Volatile tools. The entire zone (except in areas with Inquest) are filled with nodes, including the water. A high amount of profits will be from:
- Difluorite (before it caps)
- Coral
- Mussels (rare chance to get a Freshwater Pearl, but the node is abundant here)
