Unique equipment in Nomad Highlands (6)

The 1.0 journal collects one-of-a-kind named gear in seven sets, one per region tier. This is the tier-3 set, the Nomad Highlands tier: 6 named pieces.

None of these is a placed object in the 1.0 files, so none has a pin on the map. Sets, tiers and levels: journal and gear tables of the 1.0 game files (build 1267041).

How to reach Nomad Highlands

Flame Level 4 required

The Nomad Highlands rise on limestone bluffs between Embervale's western forests and its eastern desert.

Enter from Revelwood to the west (head east) or climb up from the Springlands' Low Meadows to the southwest — the direct Low Meadows route crosses deep Shroud, so reach Flame Level 4 first.

Sub-regions

  • Umber Hollow — Central low basin choked with dense Shroud — the Highlands' hardest pocket.

What to do in Nomad Highlands

  • Upgrade the Flame to level 4, which needs a Fell Wispwyvern Head
  • Hunt the Vukah Brawler, which the 1.0 files place in this region
  • Enter the Nomad Highlands Hollow Halls with the Nomad Highlands Bone Key
  • Collect Shroud Roots and Elixir Wells for skill points

Top threat: Vukah Brawler — in the 1.0 files it takes Poison ×1.2 and Shroud ×1.2, but only ×0.8 from Piercing and Ice; Cutting and Blunt land at full damage. The Fell Monstrosity is also placed here: Fire ×1.2, no Shroud damage.
