North Gustaberg

North Gustaberg is an area in Final Fantasy XI. Separated into east and west areas by towering cliffs, this rocky region remains desolate due to various mineral runoffs which contaminate the river water. However, the spectacular Drachenfall, located to the north, is considered to be one of the wonders of Vana'diel.
== Location ==
Located in the Gustaberg region, this valley is surrounded by steep mountains. Before alternative forms of transport become available, it is necessary for adventurers hailing from Bastok in the south to trek through this area in order to reach the Konschtat Highlands to the northwest.
North Gustaberg is dominated by Zegham Hill, located on the east side of North Gustaberg. The hill can be scaled from the north side, and a circuitous path winds around the mountain to the top, where a monument lies. The lack of a point to scale the hill from the south side forces those heading to the Palborough Mines to walk around it.
Both the Obere Creek and Zeikt Creek originate from Zegham Hill. Obere Creek flows to the south into the city of Bastok. It might at first seem unremarkable, but a rare gem called a Siren's Tear may be found on its shores, and may only be retrieved by one who has shunned violence by putting down their weapons. Zeikt Creek flows off the cliff to the west into a steep valley to form the majestic Drachenfall. While Drachenfall can be seen from nearly anywhere on the west side of North Gustaberg, its base can only be reached by traversing Dangruf Wadi. The base of Drachenfall is one of only three places adept fishermen can pull up the rare Gavial fish.

=== Palborough Pioneers Monument ===
:Position: (J-7)
At the top of Zegham Hill, a monument sits in honor of the lives of the "Palborough Pioneers", a group of miners who died helping build the mines. Occasionally, pilgrims may come to the monument to pay their respects. The monument reads:
=== Stone Monument ===
:Position: (G-7)
This ancient monument was placed and inscribed by the legendary Gwynham Ironheart. It sits at the base of Drachenfall, and may only be reached by going through Dangruf Wadi. The player must make a copy of the monument's inscription using clay and take it to Abelard in Selbina, along with the rest of the inscriptions of the monuments across the land, in order to obtain a valuable map of the Crawlers' Nest. The monument reads:

== Music ==
As with South Gustaberg, "Gustaberg" is the eponymous theme of the main areas of the region. It plays at any time the player is in the area, unless the player is in a battle. During battle, "Battle Theme" plays when fighting solo, and "Battle Theme #2" plays when fighting in a party with others.

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