Essential Tips for Thavnair
- Be Patient: If you are Level 80-84, you cannot complete this zone. Focus on Labyrinthos and Garlemald first. The story will bring you back here at Level 85.
- Radz-at-Han: While the city is accessible early, the exits leading into the inland jungle are guarded until the MSQ permits entry.
Embarking on this quest is an invitation to explore the rich culture of the Near East. From the alchemists of the Great Work to the elephant-headed Arkasodara, every discovery brings you closer to mastering the skies.
