I was just looking through my 1000+ screenshots when I rediscovered the images I took while in this cool looking pre-searing place. I'm sure some people who have played through pre-sear and beyond have never found this? I know myself would never have noticed if it wasn't for my bro finding it when I was watching him play.

(possible minor pre-sear 'exploration' Spoiler info ahead...)

The area isn't large and for some reason is free of critters and loot. We thought at least there should be a chest in there... heck maybe we missed something. I do know I don't have a pre-sear character / any char slots free to go back there anytime soon. Anyways here is a screenshot.

The area is in Regent Valley and if you leave Fort Ranik, pass the apple NPC lady, keep to your right (compass directions elude me), keep walking and head to the waters edge, cross the water (not sure if you have to go straight across or angle a bit) and find the entry behind some trees along the rock wall. Unfortunately the area is not acessable post-sear. :/ It IS however a very interesting and cool looking place.

Indeed. I've been there

Charrbane · Aug 23, 2005, 07:07 PM // 19:07

So there's nothing there? What kind of hidden area is that?

I went and saw this but just some ruined buildings.

Mavrik · Aug 24, 2005, 02:59 AM // 02:59

I've never been in there before...

and what necro armor is that? I have a necro still in Pre-Searing... I haven't found a crafter yet.

Get the armor off of collectors. 2 in first Catacomb area after you enter from the Abby. One in Fort Ranik and anouther in Regent Valley just off a bridge, where a beam of light appears shining in front of a hill. This is from memory so it might be shady.

Maybe they forgot to put the hidden loot in? Or the loot is so well hidden, nobody has ever found it.

Oh you know, it could be a hidden area that's peaceful, beautiful and a treasure itself to find and be in.

That might be it. Dont be so filled with greed, enjoy the beauty of Pre.

TheGreatBoo · Aug 24, 2005, 05:32 AM // 05:32

There may have been a chest there before. It may have been taken out on the account of players farming it though. Doesn't seem like there would be anything worth farming there though haha.

Ultimate_Gaara · Aug 24, 2005, 06:53 AM // 06:53

Ive never seen that place before.. or at least i don't remeber going there..

nice pictures

Arcanis Imperium · Aug 24, 2005, 08:15 AM // 08:15

I spent alot of time there today with my Pre-Searing Ranger, and the more I was there the more the name I thought of for it rang true.

So, even though I have no social or political status, I'd like to suggest we refer to that area as
"Melandru's Garden"

Anyone have any other ideas?

MCS · Aug 24, 2005, 09:33 AM // 09:33

I've yet to see a picture of gwen that didn't look evil.

I can only hope when the secret is revealed she died a slow and painful death.

Melandru's Garden sounds good to me. Nice one.

Kampfkeks · Aug 24, 2005, 12:12 PM // 12:12

Hm, we could start a rumor...
"Running ppl to Melandrus Garden!!!!!! U NEED FOR UBAR GWEN QUEST!!!! 1 plat each!"

Arcanis Imperium · Aug 24, 2005, 07:22 PM // 19:22

LOL! If only alot of people had 1 Plat in Pre.

Hypermonkeyman · Nov 14, 2005, 07:38 PM // 19:38

...i have like 20k in pre now if only i wernt to read this...

Arcanis the Omnipotent · Nov 15, 2005, 01:30 AM // 01:30

its best not to exploit this place. Its just a nice place to visit to take the edge off in Pre.

My ranger basically lived in it when ever I went AFK. I was sad to see it go when my final character seared. I love that spot.

G_MAGNUS · Nov 20, 2005, 11:51 AM // 11:51

That place has been there and empty for a long time. Even since before they changed the way chests worked it's been empty. If indeed there was at one point something there, it would have had to been way back in beta.
