Notable features	Trees, rock and coal and metal nodes, Wild Zombies and Wild Dragons, Wolves (east), a fenced safe camp
Entry requirement	None

The Wilderness is the main danger zone of Kintara, reached by heading north from the Mainland. It is a night-time PvP area where other players can attack you and hostile mobs roam, but it is also where almost all gathering and combat training happens. Mobs here also drop Gold, making it a key farming zone.

Tip: Bank your materials on the Mainland before long trips. If you die in the Wilderness you can lose what you are carrying.

What's Here

The Wilderness is the only place with trees to chop and rock nodes to mine, so it is where you train Woodcutting and Mining and stock up on Wood, Stone, Coal, and Metal. It is also the main Combat training ground, and mobs here now drop Gold.

Activity	What you get
Chop trees	Wood and Woodcutting XP
Mine rock nodes	Stone, Coal, Metal, and Mining XP
Fight Zombies	50 Combat XP each (100 with Lvl 2 Sword); 1 Gold (1 in 200 chance)
Fight Dragons	150 Combat XP (300 with Lvl 2 Sword), 4% Dragon Mount drop; 1 Gold (1 in 200 chance)
Fight Wolves (Expanded Wilderness)	1 Gold (1 in 200 chance); can tame with Cooked Chicken for Wolf Mount (10% chance)

Dangers

This is open PvP, so other players can attack you here. Hostile mobs aggro within 3 tiles, and a failed combat QTE or a PvP hit costs you 20 HP. There is a fenced safe camp on the south edge where PvP is off and no mobs spawn, useful for catching your breath mid-trip.

Further north, past the Wilderness Extension, the danger climbs again at Glade Cave — a boss encounter zone home to the Venomweaver. Entry requires Level 20 Combat, and you will need a full squad to survive the fight. The cave has its own queue and spectating system, so even underleveled players can tag along to watch. The trip out crosses the entire wilderness chain on the way, so bank anything you cannot afford to lose before heading in.

Tips

• Zombies cluster in the south, dragons in the north. Stay south for safer grinding.
• Wolves live east in the Expanded Wilderness — fight them for a chance at Gold or tame them for the Wolf Mount.
• Heal at the Mainland Fountain before heading in.
• Buy Health, Shield, and Strength Potions from The Alchemist on the Mainland before entering — they can only be used in battle mode and make a significant difference in surviving PvP encounters and mob fights.
• A Lvl 2 Sword doubles your Combat XP per kill, and Lvl 2 gathering tools double yield and XP.
• Metal nodes share the same spawn locations as Stone and Coal nodes — mine them all while you're here.
• Gold now drops from Zombies, Dragons, and Wolves — a passive bonus on top of your Combat XP and other loot.

Connections
