Essential Tips for Mare Lamentorum

Bestways Burrow: This area is a maze. The quests are located on different vertical levels within the burrow. Use the internal Aetheryte shards to move around.
Surface Travel: The surface of the moon has low gravity (in some areas) or regular gravity. Use your mount to traverse the large empty spaces between craters quickly.

Embarking on this quest is an invitation to walk where no Eorzean has walked before. From the adorable Loporrits to the ancient Allagan ruins, every discovery brings you closer to mastering the skies of the moon.
