Dark Eldar

Order begins with chaos. —Nameless Commandments from Another World (3215.1531, uploader unknown, suspected villain)

After bidding farewell to the Vador Plains Inn, Loki was deeply impressed by the hospitable orc uncle. Loki continued his journey. He wanted to find an orc starting village, or a starting village for other races, preferably the Dark Eldar.

In the northern part of the Vadoll Plains (237, 310), you're almost at the boundary of the Vadoll Plains map. The level of the monsters along the way gradually decreases. The average level of the monsters in the Vadoll Plains is 43. As you reach the northernmost part of the plains, wetlands slowly appear, and crocodile monsters (level 33) and ugly fish-men monsters (level 37) appear.

Loki sensed, "We should be close to some starting village."

Loki rode his beginner mount across the map (beginner mount movement speed +30%), and the minimap in the upper right corner expanded quite quickly. Loki saved a lot of energy on his feet, and at the same time, he gained a lot of experience points from exploring the map, which is why he only went out to explore after buying the mount.

What if he accidentally stumbles upon a high-level monster (a skeleton monster)? Then he wouldn't even have a chance to escape. Riding a mount makes all the difference. It's much safer. Loki's riding skills are quite good; if he encounters danger, he can easily control his mount's direction by sharply pulling the reins. Also, Loki is very good at communicating with small animals. Sometimes, gentle petting, or regularly feeding them fresh hay, plus those...boring conversations during the journey—all of these can increase the affinity between Loki and his pets (Note: Secret: Hidden attribute).

"Back in the other world, there were no flying mounts. I wonder if we'll see them in the later stages of Classic WoW?" Loki wondered. He could sense that his mount used to be a bit faster than the other heroes' mounts!

In the early stages of leveling, everyone uses the basic universal riding whip, which costs only 30 gold coins each (available at the town pet shop). Some heroes might think their mounts are fast because of the various advanced riding whips in the shop? Loki knows that those beautiful and expensive noble riding whips (not dropped; shop-exclusive items) do indeed increase riding speed, but they're also incredibly expensive! For example, the Gale Riding Whip, which increases riding speed by 40%, is a rare purple item. Currently, it costs 1 gold coins in the shop. An ordinary hero probably couldn't afford it in their lifetime. Clicking on "More" reveals even more expensive riding whips on the shelves. Moreover, these items are often removed from the shop (limited editions), and although they may sometimes be discounted on special holidays, they remain an unattainable "luxury" for ordinary heroes!

On the way, Loki pondered many things. Sometimes he couldn't even tell if he was in another world or a classic version of the game. The scenery along the way, and the way the monsters roamed, were so similar—almost identical to the other world. Loki knew what he was supposed to do, what he was supposed to explore. But the map was too big, the world too vast, and Loki feared he would get lost...

"It's not like in another world, where there are Elder Schopenhauer and Elder Sun Yun to help and guide us. In the Classic version, we have to rely entirely on ourselves, and we can no longer contact our teachers..." Thinking of this, Loki felt a little lost, and he stroked his pony.

The little horse remained silent, keeping its head down and hurrying on its way.

After walking for a while, the human white horse mount (level 40; upgradable; cannot participate in combat) probably got tired and gradually slowed down. Actually, it was being controlled by Loki from behind; the tighter Loki pulled on the reins, the faster the horse would run. Conversely, pulling it looser was the slowing-down command.

"Benjamin VI has already arrived, so Edward III should be arriving soon, right? I think there's an 80% chance he'll become the Grand Elder in this other world. The corrupt core probably won't tolerate him either, so he probably won't stay in this other world," Loki guessed.

Loki was also bored. Looking at the dilapidated merfolk settlement in the distance, he felt a sudden loss of hope. He said, "This is probably a place where the merfolk are left to fend for themselves. It doesn't seem like a thriving starting village..."

"Hey, whatever, since I'm here, I refuse to believe I can't find a starting village!" Loki jumped off his horse. At this moment, he wasn't really interested in fighting monsters, nor was he in the mood. He was simply looking for a suitable place to rest as dusk approached.

Sometimes, it's common for heroes to not find an inn while exploring the wilderness. After all, there are many desolate places that heroes don't want to visit. They feel it's a waste of time. But looking around, the wetland map is pristine and truly a pure "classic" experience (100% faithful to the original).

Nobody knows what the world of the entire map is really like. Most heroes who come to the Classic server follow the main storyline to continue the plot, but Loki wants to wait and see more.

He had also studied his main questline, and now the first item on his quest list reads: "1. [Main Quest] ***Report to the Warrior Base immediately! (Coordinates: 307, 303)"

In his backpack was a letter of introduction (blue, sealed with wax). It was even handwritten by the mayor of Regin! But Loki knew it was just a "copy".

Near the wetlands, the level 38 murloc monsters wisely avoided the arrival of a high-level human warrior. They seemed to have evolved? They no longer actively attacked high-level heroes (green, neutral)?

Seeing that the fish-men had escaped, Loki went to check on the wrecked ship they had just occupied.

"Wow! There's a treasure chest?" Loki discovered a treasure chest (blue; no level) on the wrecked ship.

"This environment probably won't yield anything good, right? Why don't we... try packing it all up? Even though it's quite heavy?" Loki suddenly had a brilliant idea. He didn't choose to open the treasure chest; he wanted to see if he could fit the entire chest into his backpack.

Reality slapped him in the face... No matter how hard Loki tried, he couldn't drag the treasure chest in front of him. (Friendly reminder: Maliciously moving or transferring game items to your personal inventory or warehouse is illegal! @all; System & Order prohibits this operation!)

"Hey! What a waste of time!! It seems that just like in another world, taking treasure chests is not allowed here..." Loki gave up his curiosity and decided to spend the night on this wrecked ship.

The fish-man's wrecked ship looked like it had been stranded a long time ago; the river had long since dried up, and the wooden boat was very dry, with its old, crooked mast still able to block the wind. As for that shiny treasure chest (blue; level unknown) in the cabin...?

Loki plans to open it tomorrow; there's no rush.
