Talk:Arborstone (explorable)

Arborstone explorable extends all the way to Tanglewood Copse. --Karlos 06:00, 9 May 2006 (CDT)

Kaswa Webstrider
I included Kaswa Webstrider - Elite Capute Vampiric Spirit, only because it's listed on the bosses page that he is found in the explorable area, but I've not been able to verify this after several runs looking for the capture. In the process of looking, I've posted the several bosses I can verify being in the explorable Arborstone zone.--Xis10al 00:19, 14 May 2006 (CDT)

Area limits?
'''Ignore what I wrote below. I understand now my mistake. I need to get some sleep :P'''

Although the Arborstone (Explorable) extends all the way to Tanglewood Copse (Outpost), you can't acess this outpust from Arborstone or vice-versa. For this reazon the outpust shouldn't be considered "part" of this area. "The explorable area is unique in that the northern and southern portions are not directly connected and can only be explored in full be travelling through the Arborstone (Mission) zone." I don't understand this part of the description. If you enter the explorable area from Altrumm Ruins you have acess to all the explorable area including the mission part. Remove this from description? -- Rottweiller 07:20, 17 May 2006 (CDT)


 * I've managed to aggro a group of Stone Kirins down in the water while I was still in the northern part of the areas, i.e. before I had done the mission or even entered the outpost. An A/E/N might be able to use Shadow Step, Ride the Lightning or Necrotic Traversal to teleport down there, but unfortunatly I didn't have the right profession to test it. I wonder what happens? Would you be able to explore the whole area without doing the mission first?? --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 10:37, 12 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I doubt that Shadow Step or Ride the Lightning would work due to limits in how you can move with them; but Necrotic Traversal may be worth testing further. Someone with both it, and rebirth might be able to bring a team down to that area with him to explore it further. --- Barek (talk &bull; contribs) - 10:42, 12 June 2006 (CDT)




 * I managed to get down, past the resurrection shrine, through the garden, and all the way to the side gate before I died. Because I was with henchies who were still alive, I had to map out.


 * If there would be enough players for getting to the Altrumm Ruins without having to do the mission? The gate IS open when you're leaving the Altrumm Ruins (it is NOT being opened when leaving). --numma_cway 17:17, 18 August 2006 (CDT)


 * It is confirmed that it is possible to enter Atrumm Ruins without having completed the Arborstone mission. It isn't even necessary to use Necrotic Traversal. See this thread on GWGuru for details. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 03:17, 6 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Cool, though I was trying to not even having ENTERED Arborstone mission outpost ever in the first place d-: - 12:55, 6 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Yesterday I brought a friend, who had just completed Nahpui Quarter (Mission) from Senji's Corner to Altrumm Ruins. I was Luxon and Tanglewood Copse was - of course - not. It is VERY easy when having no Rt and Mo henchmen in the party of 5 to 6 members. Something else may render a suicide because of the Level 18 Wardens impossible. You will have to pull both groups near the entrance. You will be resurrected near the underground library (I don't really know what it is) in the west. This seems to be a long walk. In fact, the only foes you will meet (if you don't go the way with the two bosses) is a medium group of wardens. They may cripple you but don't do much damage. --[[Image:Warrior's_Endurance.jpg|18px]] numma_cway 06:48, 6 October 2006 (CDT)

Monsters
In the north-west of this area - outside the cathedral -, there's groups of Dredges (Gardeners, Gatherers, Guardians and Gutters). There's some groups with 3 dredges, and few others with more (4 or 5). The largest groups contains 1 ou 2 Rot Wallow. I'll go back there tonight for more accurate infos. --KarlLycos 09:31, 22 May 2006 (CDT)

Vanquishing
It is possible to vanquish this map only with necortic treversal, unless its one of the maps the requiers less monsters then there are. Zorgix 09:40, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Not true! Starting from Altrumm Ruins you have access to all required areas to vanquish Arborstone Explorable. Rcollins779x 15:00, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
 * You get this if you enter Arbortone explorable in Hard Mode from Tanglewood Copse:

 * Confirmed - enter area in HM from Altrumm Ruins and Arborstone can be vanquished without the upper cliff area. 310 +/- if you don't pop all the stone columns. Capella the White 11:00, 27 Nov 2007

326 Foes to vanquish from Altrum with no quests active 16 July 2007
 * In addition, it is advisable to dump Kurzick faction before vanquishing as Kurzick Blessing yields 10 faction per kill (including minions if you minion master dies) and an additional 250 faction per boss.

Oni
Where do these guys spawn here? I vanquished this area and didn't encounter them at all.

Portal
"Bug! When entering Tanglewood Copse, you immediately go back to Arborstone. Presumably because of wrong placement of the portals." Heres a vid i made for that - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNMQMyOjHZs - 69.248.175.25 20:52, 20 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Wow, this bug is still around! http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10276866 24.0.66.172 19:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Chests
I've been through here many times and never has a chest spawned for me. Does anyone know if this area is exempt from chest spawns because of all the farming? Has anyone ever seen a chest in this area?


 * I've certainly seen, and used, chests while farming. Often tend to spawn in the water north of Meril Stoneweaver. Captain Yimuru 23:51, 14 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed - I found 5 today in HM - they do tend to spawn in less accessable areas. Capella the White 24 Nov 2004

Mahr's spawns
Personally just had him spawn for me during Song and Stone (oddly enough got his green as well :s), therefore changing the article unless someone else disproves me Konrad 15:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Vanquish
I had to kill 338 hostiles without song and stone active if thats more helpful for people looking it up?
