Description

Custom Infinite Leaftide Note: VoD has been dramatically upgraded - it is now home to a host of dangerous custom T9 monsters (and loot!) as compared to retail AC. Tread with caution!
Custom ILT VoD mobs will drop Mythical Valley Keys, Trophys, some custom quest items/weapons, and Tier 9 loot.
Regarding difficulty, according to Nuke, noted VoD expert: "...from my experience you kinda just have to keep testing the waters."
- "You can get around and use trees and rocks and cheese a bit at around 1100 critter 600 item 200 life. It’s gunna be slow killing and not a very efficient use of time but if you play with someone bigger you should be able to survive and loot."
- "At around 1750 critter 800 item 400 life things feel a bit better and you can hold your own more."
- "Once you hit 2k critter 1k item and over 600 life you really feel the shift I think and then after that little tweaks to your augs here and there you feel it more and more. Again, kinda just have to play with it imo"

The Spawn Distribution in the Valley of Death makes this area is an uber (white) zone aimed at characters level 100 and above.

Home of the Tremendous Monouga, the Valley of Death (VoD) is located in the heart of the Direlands north of the Obsidian Plains. The area is very difficult to navigate due to the closely spaced ridges. Bounded roughly between 55W and 75W, and 30S and 45S.

During the The Slumbering Giant event, the valley was updated with special high level creatures that are both high in xp and health points and drop Granite Keys and Marble Keys that open loot chests that randomly spawn in VoD. The keys are givable and must be made usable first with lockpick skill.

Shadowy Statues

There are also statues called Shadowy Statue of the Hopeslayer. These statues can appear where creatures normally spawn. Use the statue to spawn two Void Knights and 2 Raven Augurs. When killed, these have a chance of dropping a Small Shadow Statue of the Hopeslayer. Collect three and turn them in to Sarkin Killcrane in Wai Jhou for experience.

Route

For Infinite Leaftide- Mid-Direlands Portal in Subway
Obsidian Rim Portals drop you at a Lifestone on the southern edge of VoD. This portal is found at the Singularity Caul drop point and also at the Northwest Direlands Portal drop point.
There is also a Direlands Valleys Portal southeast of the Obsidian Plains at 74.1S, 52.4W next to a Lifestone.
In addition, there is a retired portal that some people still have a tie to and can summon that drops deep in VoD at 36.7S 66.2W. Unlike other summoned portals, when you tie to a summoned VoD portal, you may then re-summon it.
