General Information

The Eastern Frontier, once a beautiful land of green hills and lush foliage, has been completely ravaged in the Searing by the Charr. It is now a rough and dry land, with little to no plants or water, only dead rocks and a few thorn scrubs. All settlements lie in ruins.

Notes

• Vanquishers must defeat 170-218 monsters in this area.
  • This area can be particularly hard to clear with the large numbers of Grawl and Grawl Ulodytes. Ulodytes are potent healers and fast kiters, so with a party size of just 4, taking out more than one of them at a time can prove to be a tough task. Interrupting their Heal Area skill is crucial.
  • Also, watch out for hidden devourers that pop up as you pass; sometimes they'll spawn above you on a cliff that will require a long walk to get to!
  • Caravan vanquishing, i.e. bringing a party of 6 on the long journey from Yak's Bend or Borlis Pass to this area (without entering any outpost along the way) is a possible option. It is also possible to reach this area with a party of 8 if you start from Temple of the Ages
  • Another alternative is to have the quest Frontier Gate Fugitives partially complete as Footman Quinn can help the party with his knockdowns.

Bug! Just east of the entrance to the Ruins of Surmia is a tall cliff that is possible to climb similar to the glitched hill in Green Hills County of Pre-Searing.
