Description

The history of Vana'diel is riddled with war and bloodshed, yet few battlefields are as significant as the frozen expanse of Xarcabard. Fortifications still stand from the epic faceoff between the Allied Forces of Altana and the Beastmen Confederate. It was the grandeur of this battle that allowed an elite group of adventurers to infiltrate Castle Zvahl and defeat the Shadowlord.

Mighty dragons roam the expanse that comprises most of Xarcabard. Giants, demons and undead also roam the icy land.

The Map of the Northlands Area, which includes Xarcabard, is a reward from the quest Her Majesty's Garden.

I've been using dark crystals to skill up and I thought I could farm them here, but The darness period is somewhat short and I didn't know where to start looking for the Elementals.

Can anyone pinpoint some/all the dark elemental spawns? I found 2, 1 in the midde of G-10, and the other aorund the i-9 and i-10 border. Are there any others? Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering about the Coordinates for the Vahzl Gate Crystal. It's the last one I need, and I'm curious where on the map it is?

Does anyone know where the outpost is for the Valdeaunia Region? It says it's in Xarcabard, but it doesn't show up on the map.

I have heard Xarcabard is a lovely place for people to level up in groups of 6, somewhere in the 40's. But.. when? When is this a good place to party?

Myself and 2 friends decided to go here today for the crystal. I and 1 friend had never been here before (I went as 25WHM for sneak/invis and didn't want to risk any EXP loss on main) 1 friend came as 38WHM (same reason) and the guy who'd been here came as 52BLM. Needless to say, we died . A lot(well, the BLM didn't.)
I had no idea about how stupidly dangerous this place is for my level. I was just curioius. Died 6 times, other WHM died 4 and delvl'd. Got the crystal then decided to have a look in the castle thing. It was a nice day out on the whole. I wont be going back there again for a while...

And I got a few nice snapshots to add to my collection.

Ok... maybe someone can help me here. I ported a LS member to the crystal and she got a cs. It involved the SL coming back (sorry to be vague but don't want to give too much of the plot away).

We're both on Bastok 6-2 and both on z8 so I can't figure out what was her trigger. I want to see the cs. ><

You need to be lvl 65 and have attained rank 6 to recieve the dynamis cutscene. This cutscene begins the dynamis storyline.

I just made a solo journey to get my Vahzl tele crystal without using any oils or powders with my level 55 MNK. I didn't have a map for the glacier or Xarcabard so at first I ended at at Feiyin ><

Getting through the Glacier wasn't so bad, most things were below aggro level except some higher tier gobs and bat eyes. When I got to Xarcabard I thought i'd have to turn back, since everything conned at least easy prey. Somehow, I dodged and weaved my way through a warzone or dragons, skeletons, ghosts, and ahrimans and got my crystal without any aggro. Now onto my next goal: putting that crystal to use when I find some people to help me with limit break 2! (I had to turn down a chance earlier because I didn't have the dang crystal ><)

Unless you're really daring, or really cheap, bring some oils and powders or get ready to stare death in the face! {(@)(@)}

lol

Okay, the zone to Uleguerand Range is easy to find on the map, but I tried to get there and could not figure out how the hell to actually get up to it. Is there some kinda roundabout route to get there?

By the map, anyways, it looks like you go up the ramp at G-7, then walk west to F-7
RE: Uleguerand Range
# Mar 20 2005 at 4:45 PM Rating: Decent
This is correct. I missed it on my first try too, though. The "trick" is that there's two narrow paths on the west side of upper level. I took the easternmost of the two paths the first time, which is wrong. Take the west path and you'll find the cave easily. Oh yeah, at L61 some of the demons in that area will still aggro.

You can now go north into Uleguerand Range. Of course, you'll need the expansion pack to go to it.

I just wanted to point out that the poor Outpost Soldiers who get posted here must be serious bad@sses. Either that or their ranking officers hate them and send them up to this place.

I have all GCs completed when I was lvl 26. My LS friends (lvl 65+) are so kind to helped me out with that.

The hardest one was Vazhl, I died 3 times >< too much agroed and everytime my invis and sneak worn off it had to happen where all the mobs were all around me ><. It was worth it though and luckily I had enough XP so I didnt dlvl. LOL

Anyways...so free teles for my LS members since they were so helpful to me and free teles for friends that "I know well" ... ^^.

The CORRECT location of the telepoint is NORTHWEST area of grid (H-8) on top of some stairs. There's NOTHING NE of (G-8) as mentioned above. I can't believe I wasted an hour searching for a bunch of stairs at (G-8).

Outpost: Upper-middle portion of (H-9).

The Telepoint Crystal

NE corner of (G-8), on top of some ruins, for those wondering.

I'd like to tell you the sordid tale of my trip to get said crystal. I was with two friends, a 52 PLD and a 41 RDM, and we were just boredly killing time, doing the ice element for the RDM. Since we were going up to Beaucedine anyway, I said "Let's get the telepoint crystal!".

Damn crystal.

So, we get to Xarcabard easily enough (after some mishaps with ice elementals), and we're all sneaking about, trying to avoid the IT+ Lost Souls (EP to the PLD). Eventually we get close to the crystal, and what do we run into? Why, a DRAGON! Just sitting out there in the open, glaring menacingly at us. EM to the PLD. We ran. The PLD and I were looking at a demon that was flapping about in the corner, when we realized the RDM wasn't with us. Her sneak'd run off.

...her HP was dropping. So we barrel on out of our hiding place towards her, where she's got a few Cursed Weapons, Bat Eyes, and Lost Souls after her. I started curing her and the PLD, everything aggro'd me, and I died before I could get off a teleport. Thank god that I'm paranoid and had Reraise up, because shortly thereafter, the PLD and RDM died as well.

Raising ourselves was another dilema in itself. I was relatively safe, and once I could, I raised myself and cured all of my HP right away, not wanting to risk a low HP aggro. Raised the PLD. But no, the mobs weren't done with us, they were hoarding the RDM's body. As if THAT wasn't enough, the dragon comes stomping down the hill and the PLD and I run off like two scared little girls.

Eventually, I got the RDM raised, but in doing so I aggro'd a Cursed Weapon, and eventually we had to fight everything that'd originally aggro'd and slaughtered us. After we win, all beaten and demoralized, we realize that we're right by the damn thing...

... Stupid crystal. >.<
