The Spot has been visited 81935 times since January 24, 2001!

Note: the core of this page was written when I first stepped onto Aerlinthe Island. Many things have changed since then, and I apologize if some of the information is not correct. Some pages were added later, with higher-quality pictures and more precise information. Some of the pages (especially the Foundry and Keep sections) are quite outdated and only contain a very general overview. Perhaps that will be changed some day =)


This is a journal/guide to the Island of Aerlinthe, that will prepare the casual newbie for a new out-of-Osteth experience! =) Any questions/comments? Send me an e-mail to vasiliy@adelphia.net. Please do NOT contact the character Etrel in-game. It will NOT be me (read this final Letter for more information). Enjoy!


UPDATES:

 [08/23/01]: Well, folks, this is it.. First, there is a new mirror of the AC Spot - huge thanks to the guys at Helixed and Lupine Dragons. Next.. Etrel's soul is leaving his body as I write this. The character known as Etrel will no longer be played by me. I chose to transfer the ownership due to personal reasons. I will always be proud of Etrel the character, my pride and joy from level 1 to level 73. Please read this Letter for more details.

[08/11/01]: A small update - I have fought the Behemoth one-on-one again, and it went much smoother this time, hehe.. If you are interested in the details, check out the Etrel vs. Behemoth of Tenkarrdun section for another chat transcript and more screenshots!

[08/09/01]: After a long time of null activity, I have put up two new pages for the Aerfalle Quest. One is the epic battle between two great.. dudes: Etrel vs. Behemoth of Tenkarrdun. And the other page is a somewhat more detailed description of what happens at the Relic Town section of the Aerfalle Quest. Enjoy! =)

[06/16/01]: Tiny update - uploaded a new picture of what happens when the Firestorm at Crater is defeated =)

[05/11/01]: Really brief... The Oath of Eorl Allegiance is now.. errr... open on the Morningthaw server. I am the Monarch, woohoo! If you are interested in it, check it out at http://oath.8m.com. Thanks!

[04/27/01]: Been a while since an update eh =) Well, three new pages are added: Tuskers, Drudges, and Aerial Views. Have fun =)

[03/03/01]: Tiny update in the Tenkarrdun Crater section (small screenie of me Yielding and Draining the Behemoth hehe). Also, last quest item added to the Rewards section - the Scroll of Aerlinthe Recall.

[02/28/01]: Small change to the Tenkarrdun Crater section. Changed one of the pics to a very nice screenie of Rand al 'Thor annihilating the Behemoth =)

[02/24/01]: Massive update! As you can see, the entire run-down of the Aerlinthe Quest has been added! The Aerfalle Keep section has been changed a tiny bit, while five brand new sections have been added. Over 45 new screenshots added! Enjoy =)

[02/17/01]: The page has changed. I have broken it up into sections, to make the reading easier and the loading of the pictures quicker. Hope it helps some of you out there with slow connections =). Some information on Banderlings and Golems has been updated (even new screenshots). Aaaaand, in case you didn't notice, brand spanking NEW section added - Aerfalle Keep, which is the last part of the Aerlinthe Quest! Enjoy!

[01/28/01]: Added the Magic Defense for the Behemoth - one of the Golems. After last night's expedition into the inner sections of Aerlinthe, the Charred Book was recovered and translated. Read the Aerlinthe Record in its entire glory, with a few added comments and footnotes! Two screenshots added of the place where Smith Ejan is located - check it out in the Quick Familiarization section.

[01/27/01]: Added MUCH more detail on how to get to Aerlinthe using the C note way route... fun stuff =). Added a small piece of strategy on how to get those stubborn Banderlings with Throwing Clubs to come to you.

AERLINTHE JOURNAL CONTENTS:


Introduction


First, let me say that I am writing this journal (so I shall call it) for my own enjoyment and also to help those quickly maturing newbies get ready for that mysterious place up north where the big boys play... Aerlinthe Island. This journal can serve as a guide to both Melee, Archer, and Mage characters, but Mages will find it most useful - since I am a Mage myself. If you find any mistakes or errors, please let me know! Oh, and don't forget.. some of the pictures in this guide can be enlarged when you click on them. That said, read on =)

So, here you are, finally level 45. All those hours of Tusker bashing finally paid off. If you are like many mages I know, you naturally want to check out the island of Aerlinthe that you hear so much about. I was, in fact, very excited - getting to Aerlinthe was one of the most important goals I hoped to achieve. So, is this place "tough?" Well, yes and no. You will meet some new high level creatures face-to-face... and you will die. But, not to fear! Sure, you will die a few times getting to know these guys, but then you will learn how they behave and get to love them. Banderling Maulers and Manglers are what you will most likely be fighting right away. The island is also home to Altered Drudges, who you will like to avoid due to the debuffs; Coral Golems (also some Vapor, Plasma, and Diamond Golems), who you will get to love for their experience; and lots of other "junk" monsters - Malus Shreth, White Wasps, Wasteland Rats, etc. So, how do you get mad experience and rake in phat lewt? The key... is good preparation.
