Before they introduce ONE new zone or item or whatever, they need to fix what's wrong with the current EQ! So many promises made even before LoY have not been fulfilled: melee balancing, archery line of sight, auto ranged attack, etc! I don't care how many zones I have to level in if I can't hit a mob with its elbow touching a wall! I hope SoE reads this!

Zone info

You will find Nedaria's Landing on the Easternmost Zone wall in Jaggedpine Forest. Inside the Man-made tunnel looking corridoor. (Just on the other side of the river)

I sent my bard in to track and check this zone out today and here's the data I have on it.

Mobs are all animals. from Frogs, turtles, pumas to bears and some griffawns. all range from level 16 to level 33 (panthers were highest level).
most of the critters here dropped LQ, MQ, HQ pelts to their perspective species, and some of course didnt drop anything.
I did not see any notable named mobs besides the 2 Wayferer NPCs at the wayferer camp. Small tunnel of bears on the eastern zone wall in here as well.

As a bard I thought I would use my alliance song to push me from threateningly to dubious as I do when scouting / playing in Jaggedpine forest. but had no effect on the animals in this zone. Also I discovered the aggro radius here in pretty large for the level of critters out here.

upon killing 1 puma (a sleek panther, - lv. 30ish), I had most of it's nearby friends aggro on me for just standing there. same with traveling un-invis around this zone. the aggro radius is pretty well out of proportion. Perhaps that should change as they give the zone experience and finish it up.

Anyway. After reading the Storyline in EQ and reading about EQ2, I'm intrigued what will come of this. Though i hope they change the aggro radius thing. :)

*edit* another odd thing; now that I've zoned in once. soon as I use the gem to Surefall from JPF.. it sends me back to Nedaria's... had to use Blackburrow exit to get back out, lol

I went here today for about an hour, at lvl 53 everything was green....with most things in JPF conning dark blue to me, how can someone who can acually gain exp in the zone get there without help? Inivisible would be a great tool here.
I went to map the zone, and took a lvl 33 ranger friend with me for him to try to get some soloing exp. The exp sucked for him, most everything was dark blue...probably will get better later but now its not good.
Has good possiblities for it...hope they fix the exp and loot. I dont remember what he was killing, but didnt get one item in loot in over an hour.
Just my 2cp...

Word of warning...as of this message being typed....xp is not set for this zone....me and my friend (mid 20's) fougt here for about 3 hours without a single tick....and we were killin yellow and reds.....

I dont know if this leads into EQ2 or not...it's not my place to make speculation. But I can say that from everything I have read, EQ2 is many years into the future *wanna say 300 somethin, but it's been awhile since I've looked* Even if this is for a "great exodus" prequalling Luclin's destruction...what would really be the point..I'm sure over 300 years SOMEONE has gone back to the main continents...not like 450k of us are gonna just be "reborn" on some island off the coast of nowhere. Just my 2cp

First off, this is an AWESOME zone for making money when you're in your high 20s and low 30s! Bring a group of friends here, set up in an out-of-the-way area and pull bears, cats and wolves. They drop the same pelts as others of their kin, except THEY NEVER DROP RUINED!!! Everything else has been moved up to match, so you should get many of the pelts that people need, and you can sell them in the bazaar for a nice profit or practice your trade skills.

Also, no this is not the road to EQ2. SOE has made it clear that the two don't take place at the same time. What's more, there have been leaks as to the next expansion's zone names, and it's pretty clear that the next expansion will add content off the coast of Odus, which you will probably get to by boat from N's Landing (I expect the boat itself to be a "city" in the sense that it will have all of the usual things you need in a city).

I also expect this to be an LDON-like expansion in the sense that much of the content will be virtual zones that you gain access to via LDON-like missions. The mix of raid vs group zones is still up for grabs, of course, but at a guess I'd expect it to be 1/3 traditional zones (perhaps some "temporary" in nature); 1/3 LDON-like group zones; and 1/3 LDON-like raid zones ranging from Luclin 55+ hard to post-Time. All told it's supposed to be around 10-20 zones I think. If that's accurate, and there are 3 or so "overhead zones" like the boat, then we should have a nice post-LDON expansion in the works. Let's hope they don't mess it up ;-)

All of this is speculation, but based on the zone names (I think they showed up on castersrealm), this seems a safe bet.

When I looked on EQ Atlas for this blocked tunnel there is 2 blocked tunnels on the map. One near the river and the other inside a cave pretty close to the bank.

Oops. Forgot to put my name down. I am Kall (Lvl 52 Ranger),Throg (Lvl 50 Warrior), and Excellerater (Lvl 48 Druid) on Drinal Server. Hail me if you play Drinal and we can talk of all our Adventures, and maybe even have a few together as well.
Fare Thee Well, and Good Fortunes to you All.. =)

was'nt there originaly talk of a crossover zone between EQ and EQ2? somethiong to ponder.

The place is beautiful, the water especially, it actually flows, not like jiggly jello :)

It will be the place where they build Zebuxorak's Ark..well, thats what Im calling it heh. The Boat will goto the unaccesable continent *the one on the globe in the skyfire mountains, and on maps in various places in Felwithe*

I assume, the Lost City of Zeb, will be taken over, and the ship itself will be the new city.

Of course this is pure speculation.

Ah, yes, another thing, as a ranger everything liked me there, except for the sea turtles and frogs in the water.

Speaking of the water again, the beach....oh wow, Its amazing.

I hope this will somehow make a storyline into EQ2

Went here with my friend, me being a 29 Druid and her being a 29 Beastlord. We killed 3 dark blue mobs and got NO exp bar movement... anyone else having this problem?
