The planar shift into Arcadia drops into the middle of a beautiful eldritch forest where dreams grow on trees and daydreams flow down the river.

Unfortunately, according to Astra, the Fae are xenophobes of the worst kind and will view the Midgaardian Lords' intrusion as we might a plague of locusts. The Fae have set Balefire to the woods, trying to erase the "Midgaardian Stain" from their fair plane.

Directions

Planeshift to Arcadia.

If you're not confident in your ability to survive a swarm at Arcadia shift, you can Planeshift to Astral, go 3d (be careful with the golems) and portal to a chim or bale.

Connections

Connects to Citadel Arcadia. From shift go all n until you reach the gates. Other ways to get there include portalling to Fae Gate Guard or taking the walking route from Astral (mentioned above).

Also connects to Dark Fae Tower. To get there walk west from shift seeking water rooms on scan. Once you find the river, stay on it, and follow it southwards to a waterfall.

Navigation

Adventuring

This area is great for running exp. The lowest amount of people recommended in a group is 4; for meaningful experience, and assuming you're staying in Fantasy Forest and not running gear in the Citadel, keep the group under 10 people. It is possible to solo some chimeras if you're a sturdy caster, but they do hit hard, some use annoying psion spells like Migraine and Scramble, and you can't guarantee that you won't have a walk-in. Moreover, the shift can be rough on hp's, so if you plan to solo/duo with a lower hp partner, do the astral shift instead (though with 3 armed guardians, that one isn't much easier) and portal chim.

The Balefire Beasts are sentinel and level 160. Therefore the safest places to sleep in this area are where you can see two rooms of them on scan. An emberling or two wanders around here, a mob for immolation. Balefires are evil, and a good way to fix align after a glyph run. In addition, an Ixupi or two wanders around the Balefires and the maze.

The following mobs cast Migraine:

• Chimerical Wyvern
• Chimerical Naga
• Chimerical Mammoth
• Chimerical Demon
• Chimerical Manticore
