Overview

1 – Barrel

You’ll find around 40 Arrows inside this barrel. Across from the barrel is the start of the trail leading to the ranger clearing (#2).

2 – Ranger Clearing

Two important NPCs will wander around this clearing:

Alywin. After you’ve completed the quest The Meaning of the Note, she’ll become a trainer for Bow Weapons, Cartography, and Foraging.

Ranimer. He’s involved in the quest The Sealed Letter, and he’ll give you the quest The Meaning of the Note.

You’ll also find a well and a Powder Keg in the camp. But don’t loot the green ceramic jars or else the rangers will attack you.

3 – Unused Cabin

You’ll find two empty chests in this cabin. Since the cabin is right next to the geo marker (#4), you could use the chests for storage.

4 – Geo Marker

This geo marker will add Elderoak Forest to your Quick Travel menu.

5 – Gate

You’ll only be able to open this gate with the Tarnished Key from Ranimer (#2).

6 – Pedestal

This pedestal is involved in the quest The Meaning of the Note. When you complete the first part of that quest, a path will appear to the east, leading you to the Lair of the Emayu Witch (Exit A). Near the pedestal you’ll find a Powder Keg.

7 – Baizel’s House

You’ll encounter two things of interest inside Baizel’s house:

In the entry room you’ll find a chest containing some bottles of Demon Oil II, a Mana Potion II, a Scroll of Cat’s Eyes, and some gp. However, when you loot the chest, you’ll see that it’s sitting on “some kind of floor plate,” and if you examine the wall above it, you’ll see a sign with a “5” on it. Between these two clues, you’ll need to figure out that you should put exactly 5 pounds of loot into the chest. When you do, the secret door leading to the back room will open, and you’ll earn 300 xp. You’ll then be allowed to take back your loot.

Note: The easiest way to come up with 5 pounds is to take two drinks from a full Water Skin.

In the back room you’ll discover a red ceramic jar that you’ll need to blow up to open. Conveniently, you won’t have to go far for a Powder Keg (#6). Inside the jar you’ll find Gildedmoon Pendant 13, a Sigil of Fire, and some gp. You’ll find a use for the pendant when you reach the Moonrise Underground. You’ll need a Sigil of Fire for the quest Baptism in Fire.

8 – Geo Marker

This geo marker will add Ulgolek (the tree right next to the marker) to your Quick Travel menu.

9 – Tomb / Graveyard

The tomb here is a secret area. To enter it, you’ll need to use a Powder Keg to blow open the fence surrounding the graveyard, and you’ll also need to pull the lever to the south (#10), which will open up the tomb’s front gate. Inside the tomb, you’ll find a green ceramic jar containing a Large Emerald and some reagents (including Auricflax), and you’ll also find a chest with 50-100 gp in it.

10 – Secret Area

The small clearing here is a secret area. To reach it, you’ll need to follow the bank of the river to the north in a clockwise fashion, and then head west through a narrow path. Inside the clearing you’ll find a lever. Pulling the lever will open up the tomb to the north (#9).

11 – Secret Area

You’ll only be able to reach this secret area via a narrow path from the Valley of the Wanderer. When you enter the secret area, you’ll find a chest containing a Potion of Invisibility III and over 200 gp.
