Level 65- 70
Its out of Thunder River. Next we head to the frozen lands of Atzels Approach where your bladder can now expand but your nipples will contract. Now there is one rule to Atzels approach …Bring a friend. Not you…THEM!! The mobs in Atzels do not believe in a fair fight. You attack one, you bring him, his neighbor, their dog, grandma and 17 of their closest friends. They even have magical instruments littered across the camps..”The Uber Horn of BAF-ing” DO NOT let anyone you attack run to the horns! If they do, the entire camp can come down and smack ya…heck sometimes even your real life mother will awaken, come through the door and PWN you (...and your at college!). Now that’s a horn! 

I hate Aztels. It’s a sucky zone and one you will suffer through. Caution will serve you well in Atzels and even with that, you will die. You will find that there isn’t a lot of easy quests here. Many of the quests you get are red and you need to kill BAFing groups 4 levels higher than your own. It’s tough. My advice, BAF someone of your own. Send out a /Yell, /Tell, IM from Facebook, classified in the local newspaper …whatever just find someone and duo everything here. It makes a tough zone a lot more tolerable (…er, me?...um ...no, cant…I have…knitting, yea knitting class tonight!...gonna knit skirts with Conan).

Aelfriths camp is the first quest area you’ll find. Actually it is the only quest area. There are several randomly placed quest givers throughout the zones, so keep your eyes out the for ‘!’. This is the first zone where you notice that the number os quests start to go down. There is a nice Wall of wanted posters but you can only do half, the other half comes at lev 70. You will need Climbing of at least 450 to get up the glacier to the higher level Trogs and climbing of 600 to get up the rope ladder near Skammestein. You can live without climbing the rope, but I do suggest you get yours to at least 450. If you grind all these quests you will get about half way through level 67 …THAT’S IT and it sucks!

Key Quest: Xiode from Mannanan server (Whom you may remember from such forum troll posts as “Funcom hates Pygmies!” and “I quit aoc gold…AGAIN!) notes a simple quest at Skammestein. As you’re killing your way through there enter the tents, there are cases that you can click that give a quest back at Aelfriths camp…free, simple XP.
