Stormhalter Lands Progression

Stormhalter

Overview of what to expect in general from gear and lands. Link to Beginners roadmap. Explain that getting to 16/18 is fairly quick on Opal.

Progression through the Lands

The 5 OG Lands

After Getting to around Level 12 in Kesmai and being able to reach the Oakvael Portal semi safely in -4 Kes, you now have the choice of 3 new lands to venture into and fight in for levels and skill.

• Oakvael
• Axe Glacier
• Leng.

A good place for people to go from 12-16 that has easy access to training and vendors to sell gems is the Axe Surface town. The cave system is big enough to not be too dangerous but still challenging enough. When that gets too easy, just make your way up the rope for 2 levels until you reach the Ogre Caves at axe '120. Lockpick Town is on the other side of that level, and gives easy access to trainers and vendors with a bank and lockers. Just down the rope and to the south of Lockpick town are stairs to the Doom Caves which you can sit in until 18 without any troubles. If Axe Caves aren't your style, Oak Serp Level until you can safely farm at 15-18+ at Oak TT is another alternative, or even Leng Maus and then Griff Cliffs or even Leng UD if you want to stay in Leng.

Around Level 14 you should be able to make the run up through Axe Glacier to the Stairs in Ogre Caves that lead up through the tower to the Underkingdom Portal.

• Underkingdom

Going down the Levels through UK is another way to get from 15-18+, with -300 where the Troll King resides is another good grinding spot to sit and do ranged damage from the water.

Stormhalter Additions to the OG Lands

Depending on your gear and will to stay alive, there are newly added areas located in Axe, Oak, and Leng to help add a few more places to bridge the gap from the old lands and the new.

Oakvael Heart of the Grove

The entrance is located in the Serpents Lair Level. South of the empty portal area is a set of stairs leading down to the Heart of the Grove.

At the west side of the map are Guardians that frenzy when you kill forest animals next to them. To get to the Eastern side of the Map you need to kill the Spirit Bear behind a hidden door. Once past, be careful as the area has lots of groups that tend to swarm players and can cause you to be overwhelmed quickly. With the right gear and skill, this area is a good source of skill and exp grinding after Doom Caves and Oak TT at 18+.

This is also the location of the quest for the Grove Bow Escort, which gives a slight boost in Damage over the Doom Orc Bow, and is one of the only Silver bows in game.

Axe Undead

Located at the southern part of the Axe Doom Caves is a set of stairs leading down into the Axe UD Necropolis. Its a fairly large jump in difficulty to get from Axe Doom Caves to be able to safely do Axe UD. So tread carefully as always.

Draugr Warriors frenzy when enough are killed next to each other. You also need to be careful of the Concussion casting Giant Troll roaming the area.

Importance of Gear Upgrade Stats

There is an abundance of interesting weapons and Armor in Stormhalter. Especially for thieves and Wizards, it offers you different types of play styles.
