Nektulos Forest (Zone 1) Quick Guide — Levels 1–10
What you’ll need
- You + 2 bots (recommended)
- A little time to farm early camps for starter gear + relics
- A plan: magic weapons first or relic/flag path first
1) Getting Started (Level 1)
Step 1: Talk to Farand Sliver
Start in Nektulos with your 2 bots, then hail Farand Sliver.
- He gives info + hints to point you in the right direction.
- After that, you’ve got two solid opening paths:
2) Early Progress Paths (Levels 1–7)
Option A: Arcane NPC Camp (Magic Weapons)
Head to the Arcane NPC camp if you want an immediate power bump.
- Goal: Magic weapons to smooth out the early grind
- Great if your damage feels weak or you want faster clears
Option B: Undead Relic Camps (Flag Progress)
If you want to work toward the final boss early, go hit the undead camps at:
- NW Spire
- SE Spire
- Wiz Spire
These spire undead camps are where you’ll collect the 3 relics needed later.
3) Loot You’ll See While Farming
No matter which camps you pick, trash mobs can drop:
- General cloth armor
- General leather armor
This gear is meant to help you stabilize fast while leveling.
4) Leveling Milestone: Level 7 = Mini Boss Time
By farming the above camps, you should easily reach level 7.
At level 7, you can start hunting the mini bosses.
Mini Boss Overview
- Total mini bosses: 7
- Each mini boss drops:
- 1 unique non-visible gear item: Nektulos Initiate (unique piece per boss)
- 2 unique augments
5) Upgrading Initiate Gear (Very Important)
Once you have:
- A Nektulos Initiate piece
- Both unique augs from mini bosses
How to upgrade
- Slot both augs into the Initiate piece
- Type #upgrade
- Find the item you’re holding in the list and click it
- It upgrades into the Awakened version of that piece
6) Set Bonus Buff Stages (Awakened Gear)
The more Awakened pieces you have, the stronger your set bonus buff becomes.
Buff stages trigger at:
- 2 pieces
- 4 pieces
- 7 pieces (full set)
7) Zone Caps and Expectations
- Nektulos level cap: 10
- Experience also caps at 10
So this zone is designed to finish as a complete “starter set” zone: gear up, get flagged, then move on after you’re done.
8) Final Boss (Wizard Spire)
Once you’re:
- Geared out (ideally several Awakened pieces)
- Flagged (via relic hand-in)
Flag Requirement
Turn in the 3 relics to the Arcane Observer to get flagged to spawn the final boss.
