Dereth Exploration Markers Efficient Route

General Advice: Print out this whole wiki. Number each portal 1 to 100 and do them in order. If at any point your number of points touched does not equal where you should be, you've missed a point somewhere. IT is EXTREMELY irritating to get to point 100 and realize you've only touched 99. Use a highlighter or pen to check off each point as you go, and don't check them off unless the numbers match up.

Route: Use the Dangerous Portal Device at your mansion until it drops you on the Tusker Island, or just run from the Drop if you don't want to put up with random ports.

Dark Isle

  • Go to Dark Isle. These two are usually done while doing the Society Faction quests on Dark Isle (the Attunement/Rocks quest, Kill Vaeshok, the Deep, and picking up Ten Blighted Coral frags), since you have to go to each location anyways).
  • 86.9N, 59.8E - Dark Isle - Right by Vaeshok's Cave. If you are going to kill Vaeshok, head down and do so, then recall out to the LS to do part 2 of the Rock Quest on the way to the Tower). Pick up fragments as you go.

Direlands

South Direlands

near Candeth Keep
  • Portal Recall back to Candeth

To prevent jump lag, jumping on top of the creatures and dieing, you can talk to one of the Statues outside, and it will portal you just above the pit, giving you enough time to quickly select the marker, hit it, and do an emergency recall.
If you are a Lord in your Faction, use the Statue at either 87.9S, 55.9W, or the statue at 87.9S, 54.5W
If you are a Master in your Faction, you can use the Master Statue of 'Moarsman City' Transport in the drop room of the Faction Stronghold

near Fort Tethana

  • Since you're now near Teth anyway, there are two ways to run this. You can run the Obsidian SPan marker by exiting through the Hillside portal at Teth, and running E/NE ( 34.6N, 41.6E - Obsidian Span On top of the East Ring). DO this last (portal recall after doing Shadow March). You must have a Teth Tie to do this efficiently.
  • (RECOMMENDED)Use Chapterhouse Recall Orb, Take Ayan Baquar portal. Run to the Foundry portal under the green statue in the middle of town. Immediately exit the dungeon, and you will be in Teth (the 'back road' to Teth) with a Last Portal tie.

  • 3.6S, 70.0W - Festival Stone of Gloaming south of Fort Tethana. (Party-Goer) IF you are running from Teth, do this first. IF you are running from Slaughterhouse, do this second, then continue to Mountain Climber.
  • 9.4S, 72.0W, near Teth Golem Mountain. If you are running from Teth, do this second by heading south from the Festival Stone, then Portal Recall when you are done. From Slaughterhouse, do it first, pick up the Festival Stone by heading north, and then proceed north to Mountain Climber.
  • 3.2N, 71.2W - Fort Tethana (Mountain Climber) - Approach from the west side.
From portal drop, cross at 2.3N, 71.8W - 2.5N, 71.9W - 2.8N, 72.0W and 3.1N, 71.8W. (The run up is located in the valley with the Teth Lighthouse portal). Once you hit the Marker, jump off the mountain to the North, run to next Marker.

  • 18.4N, 86.3W - Most northwestern point in the Direlands.
Alternative Route 1: Recall to Aerlinthe Island. Immediately back through the Direlands portal behind you. Run NW to the Point.
Alternative Route 2: Run through all 3 dungeons of the Olthoi Arcade to the Surface portal at the end, then run north to the Marker
Alternative Route 3: Use the Black Spawn Den Portal Device until you arrive at the Teth BSD, then run from there

Mid Dires

buy Sake, available in Baishi. Either give the Sake to Ulgrim in Ayan for a quick portal (this does NOT use up the Sake), or run from Baishi to the Drunken Madman at 53S, 61E. Give Madman Sake, take portal. From Walled Portals take Outside Accursed Halls portal.
  • 12.8S, 58.9W - Izji Qo's Temple - at the top of the Temple
  • Inside dungeon - Crystalline Portal 17.0S 61.2W- Near the end of the 110+ dungeon, in the room with the ramp in the lava pool that leads to the Progenitor's Lair portal. (Spelunker). This is a complex dungeon with two other quests you can complete at the same time, including a one time quest for a 5 use MFK, and close to a billion xp all around. Takes some time, however. Recommend leaving it until last, unless you know your way around the dungeon.
  • 20.9S, 60.9W - South of Crystalline Crag.

East Direlands Swamps

  • Now either run E/SE from the last Marker or use the Portal to Kivik Lir's Temple (drops at 37.6S, 46.6W) and run N (Shorter using Kivik Lir)


Obsidian Plains

  • 64.0S, 63.8W - Center of the Obsidian Plains (Crater Crasher)
  • Aerbax's Center Platform Aerbax's Citadel (Daredevil)
Quest Flag: Grab all the crystals from the Artificers, make a fellow and talk to the emissary. You cannot turn in the crystals if you have done Aerbax with the last 29 days, but someone else who has not can turn them in for you. You must be in a fellowship to turn them in (even a fellow of 1 should suffice). The Marker is up on the central platform to the left of Aerbax's starting position.
  • 52.6S, 62.6W - North of the Chakron Gate portal on the Obsidian Plains. Long run, must be approached from the south and west.

Notes and little tips

  • The following Quest will need to be (almost) finished, since you either have to be flagged, or might as well complete the quest while finding the markers:
Quest Flag: Do the Counterfeit Writ Quest, starts at Bandit Castle
  • Marker Crystals: This section of the Quest is wrapped up in the mammoth Crystal Crag quest. Time to do the entire Crystal Crag with its maze of passages is probably around 4 hours. However, just picking up the Shards on the way down is a helpful 200 Million+. The final boss is a 5-use Mana Forge Key and a boatload of XP, however. Make sure you print the maps off when you run this dungeon, and while soloable at high levels, it is recommended you save this for last. The End Boss of the Crystal Crag quest is NOT soloable.
  • Sepulcher of Nightmares
  • Three Markers are strewn along the path of the Bobo Medicine quest, so pick up some XP while getting them.
  • The Markers on Marae Lasseal are strewn along the path of the Olthoi Pincers Dungeons (Warrior, Mutilator, Eviscerator) if you would like to hop into each of those dungeons on the way. Turn them in at REdspire, share them with your mules, then hop the Sanamar portal or Greenspire portal to finish off ML or go on to the next part.
  • These Quests don't need to be finished, just the first part to get access to the dungeon needs to be done:
