Spiderhaunt Forest

Spider haunt is a nice quite area - but only if you want it to be *grin*. There are wolves and goblins which the lower level characters should have no problem dealing with. There are also the Ringwraiths. I wouldn't attack these unless you're sure of keeping them bashed as they can drain your levels. If you wander into The WEB! (Wb) visible and a low level character, be wary of the aggresive, large spider that will attack and poison you.

The map of the goblin village was completed by Lyca. As far as I can tell, it's not too hard an area, but lower levels will have problems with some of the harder mobs. There is a locked door between the Cul-de-sac (Cu) and the Shack entryway (Se).

You'll also find the Archer wandering aronud this area. If you have some money, are over level 20 and have a spare study session or two it's well worth learning how to 'spot', a skill that tells you what mobs are in surreounding rooms.

If you'd like to make a quick run to this zone, we recommend the following directions, starting at The Common in Shadowdale: 6sw.
