Description
Firiona Vie gives you good news for a change... apparently the bad guys were repelled at
Norrath and one of the good guys on the Plane of Valor found a Shard. When you eventually speak
with Mithaniel Marr he isn’t willing to give you the Shard until you have proven your
worth by going to the Plane of Fire and bringing back the Shard of Fire. You already have five
shards by now but that doesn’t impress him. Use the Planar Gateway behind Mithaniel Marr
to head off to the Plane of Fire.
This seems to be a very small plane with only one area (there’s more later) but you should get
used to the layout of this first area as you will be coming back here multiple times.
Mithaniel Marr will end up sending you on quests and you will have to return to him
by travelling from your starting position each time. Two places of particular note are the
sword in the stone and a graveyard filled with respawning skeletons. The sword in the stone
can only be pulled out once you have completed the Twisted Nightmare at the end of the game
so you should ignore until then.
When you see three stone pillars on the left side, that is the start of the skeleton graveyard.
You must pass through the graveyard to get to Mithaniel Marr. While the skeletons will
eventually stop respawning, you will likely never see the end of them. The skeletons do
generate experience if killed, but the skeletons on the Plane of Valor will never drop any
treasure of any kind. The best you can hope for is the chest in the back left corner. It is
best to run by the area and past the save point on the other side.
You shouldn’t have any problems dealing with the pit boars on this level. The bigger ones are
the same as the smaller but are about 50% stronger and have a stun chance. All pit boars can
only attack what is immediately in front of them with a melee attack, so attacking their flanks
will be an easy kill.
Most Efficient Route
Follow the left wall to a chest. Head down the center of the wide pathway weaving through the
trees in your way. Boars will come to you to be killed. Veer right to catch couple of boars on
the right side meadow and down the side path to the sword in the stone if you wish. When you
see three stone pillars on the left side go through them into the graveyard to the back left
corner for the other chest, and then return to the start of the graveyard. Continue going
straight through the graveyard to the 2nd save point. Pick a wall and follow it around and
back to the 2nd save point to find a few boars and then continue straight on to
Mithaniel Marr and the Planar Gateway.
Fastest Route
Take the first right and head down the center of the wide pathway weaving through the trees in
your way. When you see three stone pillars on the left side go through them and the graveyard.
Continue going straight past the 2nd save point and speak to Mithaniel Marr. Exit the
plane using the Planar Gateway.
