Directions to Zone

Harpies is a zone that you have to go through Castiack CPK to get to. The key to unlock the gate to Harpies loads in Casti CPK. Here are the directions:

All N into City of Castiack until Fountain, W, all N. You will be in a room titled "A Dead End". East through illusion is CPK. Go E, all N, E, 3S, 2E. Get key fountain. 2W, 3N, Open wall E, all E (last E is illusion). North is the Gate to Harpies.

Walkthrough

Queen

Unlock gate N, open gate, N, all E, 2D, all S, D. It's a 1 way path through this tunnel. Directions are S, W, N, W, S, U.

Go W N and all W and there is the Queen. Lure the mobs out of the room with queen. Queen is iceshielded. Loads Hazelwood bow (Nem bow comp) and ring of summers bane. (Mini WW). Kill her, loot EQ and key. unlock chest in her room for treasure. I've seen quite a lot of items in this chest before.

Temple

Same directions as above getting into harpies. Get key from statue, and go to gate unlock gate, N. Go all E, W, N, U, W. You will be in a forest area. There are 4 nymphs that load here, they're all hidden and roam around the forest. Find the one with the Stick in inventory (usually east side), kill it and loot the stick. Stick is key for Temple.

From the NE corner of the Forest area, go 2 W. There is an illusion N. Go all N and E. there is a locked door. Unlock door, open door E, go E into Temple.

Note:The stick has 2 charges so you can lock in behind you for safety if you so desire. A lot of people do this for bloodsword. Zone repop time is 1 hour.

From this door go N, all E, S, all E to Fountain. This is the fountain the gummiberry juice comes from. This yellow area is called the courtyard. In the SE corner of the courtyard or 1 or 2 rooms away there are mobs with EQ. Women mobs can load the 4 STA dresses you see traders using. The men can load the breeches (HP legs). Both are locatable.

On the east side of the courtyard there is an exit up, go up dispel and ice Hunar for a handful of runes tucked away in a satchel. (HP -ss Held Item)

Additional Notes

  • Mobs in the courtyard can also load Candies. They are edible heal items.
  • The only aggro mob in temple is named Naditha. Shes not hard, but be aware of her if you lock in temple with bloodsword.
  • There are charmies although I am not sure where they load on zone reset. I think by queen or in the tunnel leading to queen. They roam throughout zone, they are "Knights".
  • In the temple from Hunar, go all east and search. An East will open. go east, and south. Down will lead you to the path to the queen. If you have bloodsword, its a quick way to get out and get back to the forest to ice Nymph for stick after zone pops.
