The Warrens

09

Clan Kolbok — a whole early career in one zone, and it counts as outdoors

Levels run 4 to 25 without leaving the zone. Come for the Cold Iron set off King Gragnar, the Crown of the Forlorn, and the Muglwump's seven no-drop pieces. The entrance is the whole problem — the kobold density that makes it good hunting is also the worst train risk here. Its experience modifier is joint second-highest of our 13 surveys, behind Kedge Keep.

Floor plan

Where the walkable floor ends, computed from the zone’s own geometry in the game files, with the 19 named mobs whose positions are on record plotted on it. This zone is a single level, so there is nothing to separate.

Key to the plan

Where you are

A kobold clan hall, a jail, a kitchen and a bat cave, west of Paineel.

A small pool-filled room near the Paineel newbie area
The entrance. It shares its approach with The Hole
A throne room with two kobolds in it
King Gragnar and High Shaman Drogik. Expect to fight both
A pit in Warlord Drrig's room
A one-way drop into the Batling Caves, and the route to Krode the Diviner
Ten fixed spawn points clustered mid-zone
The batlings: wizards and shamans, no melee at all
A kitchen
Smithy Rrarrgin and Foodmaster Rargnar, the two rarest named here
A jail holding three prisoners
Jailer Mkrarrg, an Erudite man, an Erudite woman and a Kerran
A break in the west wall
Stonebrunt Mountains — and the only route into it, so traffic passes through

You can bind right outside the entrance. Good characters can reach it: the obstacles are the skeletons in Toxxulia Forest and the Paineel newbie guards, unaggressive unless you walk close. One documented hazard on the approach — a high-level necromancer is sometimes in the passageway and attacks any good character passing in front of him.

Five hazards

Cautions

  • The entrance area Wandering kobolds add to fights regularly, and this is where trains start. Crowd control or a real group is required, not optional.
  • The batlings are casters Wizards and shamans with no melee at all, on ten fixed spawn points clustered tightly. A pull that brings two is a pull against two casters.
  • Two harm touches in the throne room King Gragnar for around 240 at level 24, Prince Bragnar for 181 at 18. At these levels a 240-point opener removes a tank's cushion before the first heal lands.
  • Diseased kobolds The proc lasts a very long time — the duration is the problem, not the damage. Bring Cure Disease or fight the room debuffed.
  • A pack leader may see through invisibility Recorded as an open question, not a fact. Invisibility is the usual way past the entrance crush, so treat it as unreliable until someone confirms it.

Five registers

What drops

Weapon lines read damage / delay. The armour is bamboo splint, soft wicker and cold iron, and almost every weapon is a bokken, naginata, tachi, wakizashi, katana, yari or jutte.

Rare, common and uncommon are the wiki's words, not measured rates. No logged session covers this zone, so nothing here is measured.

HP +20 on a head slot is well out of band at this level, and the Crown is open to every class but the pure casters and druids. The Naginata at 15 / 46 is the best two-hander here, over the Blood Crusted sword's 10 / 47.

Every Muglwump drop is no-drop and narrowly gated, and all seven roll at equal chance — so a group has roughly a one-in-seven shot at the piece it wants. The Etched Chitin Shield's Rune I needs a Cat's Eye Agate brought along to fire at all.
