    ◦Valley of Lunanyn (northern portion of the zone)

    ◦Sepulcher East


    •A screenshot of the in-game map of zone connections can be found here.



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Getting There

    •There are three ways to get to Alaris:
    ◦Via the air ship in the southeastern part of the Steamfont Mountains
    ◦Via the Guild Hall portal (to Argath)
    ◦Via Druid or Wizard port (to various zones in the expansion, although these may be locked behind certain tasks/progression)



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Progression

    •There are no locked zones in this expansion. All zones are open.


    •Progression centers around your Alaran Language skill level which is increased by doing tasks. You won't be able to request higher tier tasks until your language skill is up to a certain level.


    •Other than the missions, none of the tasks in Argath or the Valley of Lunanyn require any language skill to request them.


    •For more details about learning Alaran and for a (work in progress) list of tasks in the expansion, see our main progression article: Progression Through the Veil of Alaris Expansion



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Raids

    •This expansion offers a different method of raid progression and backflagging, as well as an alternative way for players to obtain a raid drop they'd like (as opposed to waiting for the RNG (random number generator) to give them something out of a chest).


    •Fore more details, see our main raiding article: Raiding in Veil of Alaris



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Armor

    •Armor is produced in the same manner as in House of Thule.
    ◦There are no progression requirements for producing Tier 1 and Tier 2 armor.
    ◦Tier 3 and Tier 4 armor is locked behind a certain Alaran language skill level.


    •For more details, see our main armor article: Veil of Alaris Armor Guide



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    AAs

    •Certain (or all) Class AAs may be locked behind an Alaran language skill requirement. This requirement should be low enough that a few tasks in Argath can overcome it.



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Spells

    •Spells are obtained in the same manner as in House of Thule (Rk. I vendorbought; Rk. II result from droppable turn-ins; Rk. III result from no-trade raid drops).


    •Most spells are locked behind a certain Alaran Language skill level.


    •Rank I Spells
    ◦These spells are bought from vendors (found in the first area in Argath; findable with CTRL+F), but some of them are locked behind a certain Alaran language skill (nothing that a few Argath tasks won't unlock):
    ◦Basic Level 91-93 spells have no language requirement.
    ◦Other Level 91-93 spells and basic Level 94-95 spells have a language skill requirement of 25.
    ◦Other Level 94-95 spells have a language skill requirement of 50.
