This zone is really not for solo play. Those with Expert T2 gear can explore solo and, depending on your build, quest and kill some, you will die a lot without a partner. Any add will almost certainly mean a death. Some places, such as Dormant Core, are filled with 52 Elites and a full group is required.

If you have FULL T1 raid gear, it is not too bad (MAY survive one add, never two). Partial HK gear should be able to solo out here with relative ease, but you are still not gonna solo any elites.

We also recommend, strongly, that you spend some Planar Achievement points adding the ability to carry more Planar Charges. This is very important when doing Onslaught quests.

Travel

The only way to get to the island initially is to use the Travel Stone near your home city. Once here you can unlock the Porticulums and other Travel Stones.

• The Sanctum Travel Stone is on the water's edge just northwest of the underside of the Sanctum bridge.
• The Meridian Travel Stone is southwest of the city gates, outside the city, up a rise from Spirit of Rhaza'de.
• We strongly advise that you bind at Ember Watch once you get there, as turn-ins for everything else on the island are there.

Porticulums

Defiant portals are west and east, Guardians' are south and north, with Ember Watch at the center of the cross.
