Talking Island quests and Elven Ruins

The Elven Ruins is one of the best starter dungeons because of the quests and, even more importantly, because of the x2 EXP/drops. Sadly though, the price to pay for it being such a good dungeon is a large number of explorers.

Appropriate Levels. 14-26

Nearest Town. Talking Island Town

Good Locations. The entire dungeon is set up so well that it's hard to find the 'best' spot, but there are certainly some spots that are more popular then others. People tend to avoid rooms with aggressive skeleton archer types. On the other hand, especially in the later levels, the Undine/Salamander room and the Nerkas room are particularly crowded.

Quick Tip. If you cannot find a free room elsewhere, try the north side of the dungeon (continue north on the path past the library).
