## Tips

* You will be able to pick up multiple quests in the City of Misfortune and Dawn's Cry Isle to save time.
* Many of the coordinates for monsters around Dawn's Cry Isle are incorrect in-game, as Dawnglory was added on top of some locations. Many coordinates are also inaccessible.
* The final quest is not accessible until level 43. You may also need help for this quest as it requires killing a difficult boss.
* If you skipped this quest series you will be conveniently teleported to the area when finishing the Crisis of the Tauroc classic quest chain at level 62.
