The Dunes East is the eastern realm of The Dunes, a 40×40 map accessible from The Shores with no level requirement (free accounts holding under 1,000 $KINS cannot enter). It is home to three NPCs — an armorer, a bowbinder, and a relicweaver. This realm is quieter than The Dunes West and lacks a major world boss.
What's Here
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Giant Scorpions | 9 pack mobs roaming the realm — 200 HP each, drops Desert Robes pieces (1/5,000 each) and Medium Scroll (1/1,000), and very rarely a Carapace piece (1/125,000 each) or the War Camel (1/200,000). |
| Kaziir the Armoursmith | Armorsmith in a tower. Crafts iron and silver armor — 8 recipes at Smithing 14-30, made from ingots, molten rock, and brute horn. |
| Sahriel the Bowbinder | Bowbinder in the L-shaped house. Sells the Bow for 50 Gold and fletches Arrows, 20 for 100 Wood, 100 Stone and 10 Feathers. |
| Qadim the Relicweaver | Weaves relics onto earned gear — 5 Gold per weave, 5 Gold per reroll, max 10 rerolls per item. |
| Cacti | Instant 20 HP heal (Dunes-only). Cut with Iron Axe + Woodcutting 20. |
| Silver ore nodes | Mine with a forged pickaxe (Mining 20 required). Smelt into Silver Ingots for end-game tools and armor. |
| Safe camps | A large fenced pen plus a small arrival pen — no scorpions/PvP, but no resources spawn inside them. |
NPCs
| NPC | Service | Status | Location |

Resources
| Resource | Gathering method | Requirement | Farming location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cacti | Cut with axe | Iron Axe + Woodcutting 20 | Throughout realm |
| Silver Ore | Mine with pickaxe | Forged pickaxe (copper or better) + Mining 20 — the starter Pickaxe is refused everywhere in the Dunes | Scattered nodes in the open realm |
Silver ore rocks are found only in the Dunes — Frostmere yields iron ore, never silver. (Silver Ore can also be dredged up by fishing in The Deep.)
Mobs
| Mob | Count | HP | Drops |
|---|---|---|---|
| Giant Scorpion | 9 roaming | 200 | Desert Robes (1/5,000 each), Medium Scroll (1/1,000), Carapace pieces (1/125,000 each), War Camel (1/200,000) |
Dunes East has MORE Giant Scorpions (9 vs 6 in West), making it slightly better for passive robe/scroll farming.
Heat & Survival
| Mechanic | Details |
|---|---|
| Heat damage | 1 HP every 10 seconds (after 30s grace period) |
| Heat bypass | Full Desert Robes (top + bottom) = 100% immunity |
| Potion healing | Health Potion+ only (regular potions do nothing) |
| Food | Cooked Chicken and every cooked fish (Herring, Trout, Bass, Tuna, Swordfish) are refused by the heat. Dishes can be eaten for their buff but don't heal, except the Cactus Salad, which heals 20 HP. Shield and Strength Potions still work. |
| Cacti healing | 20 HP instant, no cooldown |
| Death | Full loot outside camps; 5-min tombstone; respawn at The Shores |
