The Lands of Arda

Hey all I have been combing harad all week found some neat places I have never seen before and even two places that can kill me.

What I cant seem to find is the area that drops the containers of power for forging.

If anyone can give me directions from bonishadar in raj it would be appreciated,

Also how do you get into the fortress of the moon?

About Fortress of the moon:
one area E of BD is a farm house. There in the main room is a chest which is unlocked only after nightfall (when the lady gets undressed in order to go to the temple).
Take that key and enter the court of the fortress. open the door to a smaller house, right to the N of the entrance with the farmhouse key. inside there is again a chest with another key - this time to the fortress itself.

about containers:
do u mean containers of earth, fire, air and water?
if u mean these containers there are two ways to get them:

1st: several lower bosses drop them

2nd: u can make them by yourself:
u need a mage (sor or wiz)
u need a book "how to forge MAGICAL ITEM" and
u need empty containers (they can be bought in rivendel arcane mage shop)

then u need to go to the arcane hall in riven (right between the blacksmith and the armourer in rivendel). and forge the container as told by the information sign.

about new areas
new areas designed by serra are meant to be a barbed-hooked thorn in the ass. they have been designed to be entered by parties best with specialized members (tanker, smasher, mage/buffer,...)
u can manage to go quite far soloing them. but i think once u meet the final boss u WILL need assistance. there are only a few main bosses that can be soloed if u know their weaknesses or when u know what tactic you should take.

have fun exploring the far South and the new areas - they are challenging but nice to play Very Happy

If you really want to go the Chyan Empire, then look for the sticky thread called "ArdaMap" The map downloadable from there has those areas on, although it doesn't contain the latest additions from illuminus.

Containers are Power are indeed confusing looking at the spreadsheet. I asked this same question a few months, and Thorgal and others reminded me these are easily forged. I had totally forgot after a few years absence.

The main thing with the item spreadsheet is that it's only one drop place. Things may drop elsewhere but I wasn't going to list them all as it would take a hell of a lot of space to do so!

making them is far easier and quicker.

Thanking for the help everyone did not even fathom we could craft containers of power kept thinking I had to solo what zone the wiki said where it droped.

I guess im going to have to level my sorc alt then in order to craft them

as far as i can remember i could forge them with a lvl 9 sor. so i think a lvl 1 sor/wiz can forge them too.
