The Dunes
The Dunes map view
Zone PvP / Open
Connected to The Shores (north of Dunes East), The Pond (north of Dunes West)
Notable features Heat damage, Giant Scorpions, King Scorpia, cacti, silver nodes, Kaziir the Armoursmith, Harun the Forgewright, Nadeen the Sandcook, Zahir the Dyeweaver, Qadim the Relicweaver, safe camps
Entry requirement None — open to all levels (closed to free accounts)

The Dunes are a desert realm south of The Shores and The Pond, made up of three connected realms — The Dunes East, The Dunes West, and The Dunes South. Heat drains your HP over time, ordinary food stops working, and open PvP applies outside the fenced camps. King Scorpia rules the southern sands.

Entry: Walk to the south edge of The Shores (into Dunes East) or south from The Pond (into Dunes West) — neither door has a level requirement, but free accounts (holding under 1,000 $KINS) cannot enter. You get a 30-second heat grace on arrival. Dying in Dunes East respawns you at The Shores; dying in Dunes West or Dunes South respawns you at The Pond.

For the full v5.3 patch (Smithing, armor, Hard Scrolls, stack size changes), see Update:Dunes.
