hey there...the land of canthan has been mentioned here and there on this forum, but I cannot seem to find the relevant threads(the search shows up with the pre-order items threads for the most part, because of the canthan targe) I vaguely rememebr a thread where someone posted a transcript or the like from in game where canthan is mentioned....but alas I cannot find it.

so what do we know about canthan so far?

The xunlai agents are from there. Go talk to the one xunlai agent in lions arch, near the dock. She will tell you some stuff.

One of the NPC's near the dock in Lions Arch has something to say.

Jiaju Tai says:
"Cantha lies south, across the ocean...past the ruins of Orr, past the islands of fire, past the crystal lands of burning sun, and beyond the clashng seas. Only the greatest sailors dare such a journey, I assure you."

i think most of the expansion will be based in cantha!!

Sailor Profession? Boats? Sea battles?

(Hmm, maybe for Chapter 3!)

sailor profession? ooooh.

here some skills

sailor's mouth: (shout) for 10 seconds all nearby foes are stunned in shock.

While shocked foes cannot attack, shock ends when foe is hit with an attack.

scurvey: (enchantment) you begin bleeding for 10 seconds and are immune to any other conditions for 15 seconds.

cabin fever: (hex spell) target foe suffers from insanity and just goes generally insane. effect times may vary.

sea legs: (stance) for 10 seconds you're skills or spells cannot be interupted or evaded, but you move 50% slower.

shore leave: (stance) for 15 seconds you move 25% faster, are twice as susceptible to dwarven ale, attack damage reduced by 50% versus female foes, attack damage doubled versus male foes.

fish breath: (elite hex spell) target foe suffers from poison and disease for 10 seconds, caster gains 50% healing from all sources for 10 seconds (cos the monk wont come near his stinking ass

)

hmmm. thats about it. got bored. none of these are serious, just off the top of my head.

P.S. a sailor class would suck fish heads

Canthan is also responsible for the sale of guild halls to guilds.

i believe cantha is supposed to be an area of mostly merchants, hence the guildhall selling company on the "canthan" own islands (where your gh is)
