| The Dunes West | |
|---|---|
| |
| Zone | PvP / Open |
| Connected to | The Dunes East (north), The Pond (north exit) |
| Notable features | King Scorpia, Giant Scorpions, Harun the Forgewright, Nadeen the Sandcook, Zahir the Dyeweaver, cacti, silver ore, safe camps |
| Entry requirement | No level requirement (from The Pond) |
The Dunes West is the western realm of The Dunes, a 40×40 map accessible directly from The Pond with no level requirement. King Scorpia rules this realm. It is home to three critical NPCs — a blacksmith, a potion crafter, and a cosmetic weaver — making it the hub for all Dunes crafting and services.
What's Here
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| King Scorpia | World boss — 3,500 HP, respawn timing now varies (no longer a fixed timer). Top 3 damage dealers get loot (Hard Scroll, King Scorpia Mount, gold). |
| Giant Scorpions | 6 pack mobs roaming the realm — 200 HP each, drops Desert Robes pieces (1/500 each) and Medium Scroll (1/1,000). |
| Harun the Forgewright | Blacksmith in the stepped tower. Forges tools and armor (copper/iron/silver), repairs damaged gear. |
| Nadeen the Sandcook | Cooking stall. Crafts Health Potion+ (50 cacti + 1 Health Potion + 5 brute horn). |
| Zahir the Dyeweaver | Outdoor cosmetic stall. Weaves rainbow cosmetics from complete colour sets (Rainbow Cape, Rainbow Party Hat). |
| Cacti | Instant 20 HP heal (Dunes-only). Cut with Iron Axe + Woodcutting 20. Found in open realm terrain only. |
| Silver ore nodes | Mine with Pickaxe (Mining 20 required). Smelt into Silver Ingots for end-game tools and armor. Found in open realm terrain only. |
| Safe camps | 2 fenced pens per realm — no scorpions, no PvP. No resources inside. One-way gate exits. |
Update: Cacti and silver ore have been removed from inside the fenced safe camps. All gathering in The Dunes now happens out in the open, where scorpions and PvP are active. Safe camps remain a retreat point but are no longer a farming spot.
Camp Gates
Safe camps have one-way exits:
- Walking out throws you 5 tiles clear in the direction you're walking
- Darker tiles mark the boundary line
- Re-entering camps is completely free
- Cannot stand in doorway (prevents King Scorpia cheese)
Camps are retreat and respite points only — no cacti, no silver ore, no farming inside.
NPCs
| NPC | Service | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Harun the Forgewright | Forges tools/armor, repairs gear | Stepped tower (central) |
| Nadeen the Sandcook | Crafts Health Potion+ | Outdoor cooking stall |
| Zahir the Dyeweaver | Weaves rainbow cosmetics | Outdoor cosmetic stall |
All three NPCs operate continuously; no quest gates or level requirements.
Resources

|---|---|---|---|
| Cacti | Cut with axe | Iron Axe + Woodcutting 20 | Open realm terrain (not inside safe camps) |
| Silver Ore | Mine with pickaxe | Pickaxe + Mining 20 | Open realm terrain, scattered nodes (not inside safe camps) |

| King Scorpia | 1 boss | 3,500 | Hard Scroll (1/100), King Scorpia Mount (1/500, duplicates allowed), Gold (1/200) |
