There's a serious issue with the number of areas versus the exp/leveling curves for the newbie islands. Sloe seems to have enough stuff for up to around level 12 primary, but by the time you get to Archais, there's not nearly enough areas.

Regarding the area count, between level 10 and level 15 primary, the number of exp caps to level increases from 25 to about 45, with about three total levels per primary. The average cap cost would be around 35.

Between level 15 and 20 primary, the number of exp caps ranges from about 40 to about 60, with about four total levels per primary.

Between level 20 and 25 primary, the number of exp caps ranges from about 60 to about 90, with five total levels per primary.

Between level 25 and 29 primary, the number of exp caps ranges from about 90 to about 150, with five total levels per primary.

The net area factors for these ranges are approximately:

• Level 10-15: 3* 35 = 105
• Level 15-20: 4* 50 = 200
• Level 20-25: 5* 75 = 375
• Level 25-29: 5*120 = 600

This gives us a rough guide of the content required to fill various level ranges. I've been reasonably successful in the level 10-15 range by hitting up combinations of four to six aggro wander areas. Simply for convenience, let's assume five areas, run repeatedly, are sufficient for this level range.

Multiplying by the appropriate area factors above, we get:

• Level 10-15: 5 areas
• Level 15-20: 10 areas
• Level 20-25: 20 areas
• Level 25-29: 30 areas

The 10-20 level ranges might be barely acceptable at this point in time, but the 20-29 level ranges on archais are definitely not. The island of archais needs to be expanded by a factor of on the order of ten in order to have sufficient material in it. A factor of 2 in each direction would probably be sufficient to create enough empty space.

One possibility might be to move tyranids, spiders, and trogs to archais. They could conveniently fit underneath the mountain, but there are the concerns of the trog king and 'hard' mobs in trogs, in addition to the high level tyranids and level 32 trainer.

The initial parts of Sloe appear to be sane and consistent, but the quest line and area themes rapidly lose coherence later on.

• Whelan gives you the first quest, to defeat the Carver Shaman, which is the first obstacle to freeing the people in the encampment.
  
  
• Whelan gives the second quest, which is to defeat Ahpuch and return the sunlight staff, which will help with the defense of the camp.
  
  
• Sonja gives the third quest, which is to defeat the vampiress in the graveyard.
  
  
• Whelan gives the final encampment quest, which is to break the blockade at Uffspigot's camp and warn the guards in the town of Pellam.
  
  

Problems to be fixed:

• COULD HAVE MOBS IN CAMP GIVE OUT EQ AS QUESTS, LIKE LOJBAN

The first Pellam quest is to journey to Vemarken and inform the mayor of the encampment, siege, and the suspicious priests.
The second Pellam quest is to translate the note, investigate the false temple, and kill Remondadin.

After this, I believe you report to the mayor again.

TODO - add a vampire quest in reorx village

This is currently the end of the quest line on Sloe. after this, we have to push people to indira and somehow bridge the gap for the orc chieftain and qoorik

TODO

instance the orc chieftain area,

Morticia/ancala

Qoorik - NOTE THAT THIS AREA IS REALLY MORE LIKE LEVEL 17 OR SO, THERE'S A HUGE LEVEL GAP

IMP MINES - need to raise up level of eq and give the place a storyline, but other than that it makes a good addition

Add northshore, rack 43300, to archais

The dying grasslands part of nurglings, room 53685, needs some serious rework or to actually become a proper area with a quest to destroy the blight or something. Could do the magical glyph thing poisoning the landscape, enchant them to destroy

copy and move DFE/trogs/trolls/spiders/tyranids to archais

relevel the mobs in djinni, make them all non-aggro or at least nonlethal

instance asgaard

• redferne iacts(br>
• give redferne quests to fix/power portals
  
• give redferne 'visit all portals' quests
  
• instance various portaled redferne areas
  
  • earth plane might not be possible to instance
  • rack 19100
  • need at least one more area for main room
• fix up various planes to make them more mid level oriented
  
  • fire plane
  • ice plane
  • marines
  • rack 19100
• finish rack 19100, link it via redferne
  
• Move handheld shield generator in chaos?
  
• fire/ice plane - remove massive -hpregen on rooms

add a couple more mobs to azeroth keep

expand harpies? at least put a quest on them, if not already

move harpy door quest somewhere else

Move trogs/tyrannids to archais?
