The Starswept Valley

The Starswept Valley

Glimmers of starlight mingle with the pungent rot that afflicts these lifeless sands.

Overview

Trivia

• The music for this area is In Starstruck Sands by Naktigonis.
• The combat music for this area is Pyres of Glass by Naktigonis.
• You can climb over the mountains to The Lordsgrove, but you won't be able to use the teleporter if you haven't washed your face in the Lightkeeper Temple.
• The best place to grind from around level 12 onwards. (You can go to Starswept at around level 9 or 10 if you're familiar with the game's mechanics.)
• It is recommended to be familiar with the game's fighting mechanics and have decent gear in order to travel here, as some NPCs and Monsters can easily take on an unexperienced player or even a group of such.
• Based on the skeletons and corals that can be seen everywhere, as well as the condition of the Lordsgrove, it can be speculated that this was once an undersea area or a forest full of life, but the nutrients were sucked away by the planting of Greathive.
• Be wary of Stone Knights or King Threshers as they can spawn randomly without warning.
• Occasionally, you may find a sack that looks similar to a player's lootbag. You can carry this sack to Mercille at The Summer Company outpost in Meteor Isle for Aratel Island loot.
• If, during the Authority Captain vs Hive Mech event, the battle is interrupted by an outside aggressor and said aggressor is then slain, both the Hive mech and Authority Captain will sometimes stop fighting each other, a bug which has been in the game for a long period of time.
