West Sarutabaruta

West Sarutabaruta is an area in Final Fantasy XI. These plains feature the Starfall Hillock, a location famous for meteorites and a rare dew that forms there overnight.
== Location ==
Part of the Sarutabaruta region, West Sarutabaruta forms the southwest corner of Mindartia. It connects to both Port Windurst and Windurst Waters and leads to the Yagudo stronghold of Giddeus in the west. Three ancient towers can be found in this area that lead to the Horutoto ruins.
The hill located north of Odin's Gate is known as the Starfall Hillock, and meteorites are said to fall here from the sky. On the top of Starfall Hillock sits a tree where rare dew gathers in the morning hours, fine enough that it can only be picked up by the scales of a Pugil.
The waters of the Pamtam Straits run to the south of Sarutabaruta and Windurst, and a cliff face on West Sarutabaruta's southeastern end faces its waters. This area makes a nice, secluded spot for some peaceful sea fishing and is a preferred location for catching Bladefish.
== Story ==
In the A Shantotto Ascension mission Burgeoning Dread, the player is drafted into the Shantotto Empire upon entering West or East Sarutabaruta from Windurst.

== Trivia ==
* As West Sarutabaruta is located right outside a starter city and designed to cater to low level, it is well known as a newbie area.
