What are some of the best areas in GW to explore? For instance, I enjoy exploring The Falls (Tyria), what with the temple there and the great waterfall at the end. I've also found the lake in Mount Quinkai (Cantha) to looks very very nice, definitely screenshot worthy. Watchtower Coast in Tyria was also quite striking.

I still need to see the temple at the botom of Snake Dance and well as explore all of Sorrow's Furnace. In Cantha or Elona, I have not done much exploring so far, but the Jade Sea looks fantastic as does Vabbi. In terms of PvP areans, I've never been to HoH, which is the only thing I can think of in pvp that has a striking environment.

What are your favorite areas in GW?

One of my favourite areas is in Kinya Province on the starter island in Cantha, more specifically called Onghsang Island. Its in the north west of the area and offers nice views out to sea, including several shipwrecks and a lighthouse of sorts.

Other places that come to mind are in the Frost Gate mission (after the cinematic mid way through the mission, one of the paths takes you to the top of a cliff, and has a view of the rest of the mission), the plateau of the Arid Sea, and the sparkly areas of the Nahpui Quarter mission and the Holdings of Chokhin.

Grenches monument/temple between beacons perch and the war camp. to the right of the path.

Its beautifull in there and since not alot of people explore that section, its rarely seen.

Aborstone Explorable

Sorrow's Furnace hands down for me, free bonus music pack ftw.

I love Shing Jea, more specifically, the Monastery, always will be one of my favorite places, the best place to sit and do nothing. But quite a few others have a striking appeal to them, and yes, Pre-Searing is nice too.

jktstance · Jan 15, 2007, 05:48 PM // 17:48

Presearing Ascalon is very nice, I agree.

Another place I recommend is Bukdek Byway (I think), along the Western coast of the main Canthan continent. Up on a cliff in a section where the city hasn't reached yet, you can get a very nice view of the sea.

Outside Ice Toothe Cave there is a mountain called Anvil Mountain, for good reason. i 'climbed' to the top of it, and it is one of the best shots in GW. There was a travel guide/7 wonders of Tyria awhile back that did this kinda thing. Would be interesting to see if anything was made of it.

Coloneh · Jan 15, 2007, 05:51 PM // 17:51

My favorite is this big giant snowy mountain. its just north of droks, through the troll cave, past the giants, past the giant group of tengu, and past some shadows. its absolutely gorgeous, but good luck getting there, its a long fight without a spirit bonder.

I remember it's one of the area in Underworld where it looked like a huge temple.

Kodash Bazaar

Glint statue in the Crystal Desert
Pre-searing Catacombs
The HUGE skeleton behind Dunes of Despair

Commander Ryker · Jan 15, 2007, 08:18 PM // 20:18

My hands down favorite is Mineral Springs. That area looks as if someone took a picture rather then created it. After you've killed everything the only sound is your feet crunching in the snow.

Running a close second, presear. I just wish there was more to it.

Kay84 · Jan 15, 2007, 10:26 PM // 22:26

My fav area's? All of pre-searing and all the tropical beaches in Tyria
