Notes

  • Due to the sheer number of Wind Riders in this area, which will interrupt many spells, it is highly recommended to take both Warrior henchmen or Ranger henchmen if you are traveling alone. Caster characters should also have some form of anti-interrupt.
  • You get about 3400 Asura reputation points for killing all the monsters in this area, far more if you earn the Hunt Rampage. As long as you avoid taking on more than one group at a time (especially Wind Riders), this is a great place to farm Asura points. With a bit of luck on bonuses, a consistent team, and good planning, it is easily possible to earn 10,000 reputation points.
  • To the south-east at there is a small village of the Shining Blade, but they have been killed by Krait.
  • There are 350-405 monsters to defeat in Hard Mode.

Trivia

  • "Magus" is a word in Persian that is the root of the English words "magic", "magician" and "mage".
