Plane of Nightmares
Overview
The Plane of Nightmares is the most dangerous of the Tier 1 zones. The mobs here have a pretty large agro range and like to run at low health which can spell disaster very quickly. Many things see invis as well making travel difficult. Once you cross the river you can't go back and will need to zone out at the hedge event. The mephit and goblin caves to the north are a good source of low level spell drops.

Events
- Aid Eino
-
- Size: 1+ group
- Respawn: about an hour
At 10 PM gametime go to -512, 1682 and /say Quellious be my guide. Eino spawns and will start pathing southeast and then 4 banshees will spawn (zone trash will also be an issue). Next he continues southeast to the river where 2 nighstalkers will spawn. Next leg goes north until 4 hobogoblins attack, north for 3 more banshees, more north across the river for 3 bats. After a rest The Dreamkeeper spawns, nothing too special. This drops a Strand of Nightmare, and then Eino will path to the zone out at the graveyard. Hand in the Strand to get Tiny Gold Fist.
This quest is more easily completed in an instance as you can pre-clear the zone trash and then only need to worry about the event spawns.

The Deyid event takes place on a plateau in the northwest portion of the zone. Speak with Seilaen (follow all dialog) to trigger and then both group leaders say "I am ready" to port up.

The Hobgoblin Anguish Lord is triggered by killing a sequence of spawns. First kill bats until you get "The Bullyrag Bat" in the northeastern most chamber of the caves (not to be confused with the loot dropping rare "a bullyrag bat"). When it dies "The Painwrack Hobgoblin" spawns in the chamber just to the west, go kill it (not to be confused with the loot dropping rare "a painwrack hobgoblin"). When it dies "The Fearsome Hobgoblin" spawns in the chamber to the far west, go kill it (not to be confused with the loot dropping rare "a fearsome hobgoblin"). Finally when it dies the Hobgoblin Anguish Lord will spawn in the southwest chamber along with 2 guards, a mephit and a bat. All 3 are permarooted. With careful positioning you can kill them one at a time (start with Mephit as it has a potent AE), or tank them all and burn. Be aware of potential knockbacks.

Once everybody is in hail Thelin and say "I am ready" to start the event. Thelin will slowly walk through the maze collecting six pieces of a dagger. During the walk you'll have both static mobs and spawns attack, you Must keep Thelin alive. When Thelin reaches the center of the maze "a construct of nightmares" spawns and attacks. Not very hard, just a big chunk of hitpoints.
