Droknar's Forge run

Perhaps the most famous run in the game, the so-called Droknar Run is the only way to get to the Southern Shiverpeaks without ascending first.

Traveling south from Beacon's Perch, passing through Lornar's Pass, Dreadnaught's Drift and Snake Dance, one will eventually reach Camp Rankor. From there, players have to travel through Talus Chute to reach Droknar's Forge. The entire journey is rather long and perilous due to deadly combinations and high concentrations of foes along the way, designed for groups of eight level 20 adventurers.

Some players in Beacon's Perch offer to run others to Droknar's Forge for a fee.

Typically, players want to reach Droknar's Forge without having to follow the natural course of the game so that they can purchase the highest level armor in the game, as well as some skills that are not normally obtainable until reaching the Crystal Desert. Wearing this stronger armor makes playing the rest of the game easier, and tends to give these players a distinct advantage in low level PvP arenas. Other players do not care about the game's story line and want to get to the high-level farming areas quickly.
