Wilderness · levels 13–20
Hollow Mere
The mist-lakes east of Blackpine, where the Sunken Choir drowned. Heron's Rest, the fishing village on the south shore, is the only dry welcome; leeches and lurkers on the banks, the drowned and their hag beyond.

Its lair is at (19, -48) – the world map in the game marks it. A fight for three to five heroes; it returns 12–24 h after it falls. A hero 9 or more levels above it cannot hurt it. After 11 minutes of a fight it rages and hits four times as hard – and twice as hard again every minute after, up to 256 times. Its health is for four heroes and grows or shrinks 15% with every hero more or fewer fighting it (up to ten) – a hero counts once they have dealt 0.5% of the four heroes' health and stand no more than 8 levels below it.
The whole pile goes to the party – or the hero – that dealt the most damage; every hero credited with the kill shares 10 times a world boss's experience by damage and earns 20 raid points, and each of their guilds gains 300 reputation.
Gathering
12 nodesEach gather gives 1–3 of the material and now and then the tier's rare one; a node regrows after 5 minutes.
