Description

The Western Wastes is the last remaining home of a large number of dragons on Norrath. They are frequently found roaming the wastes.

Dangers

Virtually all the monsters here are dragons or dragonkin, and are very powerful. Travelling here without a group is a very dangerous idea, if you are not allied with the Dragons. Even if you are allied with Dragons, you should stay invisible, because there are monsters here that will attack anyone with no regards to faction.

Also, pathing in this zone is astonishingly bad for an outdoor zone, mobs tend to warp and start summoning, and chain aggro occurs very frequently. It is very easy to get mobbed by monsters when you least expect it.

Benefits

Most of the named dragons drop a named Talisman, which is like a Necklace of Superiority, giving +4 to +7 to all stats and saves depending on the dragon. Many Velious spells also only drop here.

Western Wastes Dragon table

Most of the AoE spells will also single-slot dispell you. Some of the higher level dragons have a harder hitting AE. I tried to link the correct AoE. Would be nice to take another pass at this sometime.

Even though the Armor Drop column only links to the peerless item in that slot, the other quality versions all have an equal chance to drop. For example, Atpaev drops all of the mask variants, and Sontalak drops all of the variants for BP, Legs, Gloves, and Boots.

Caster classes will gate, Clerics will cast Complete Heal, Enchanters and Shaman will be hasted, and so on.

Cargalia and all of the Sapara family of dragons proc a Gflux on attack, so when they quad and proc on all 4 attacks, you can really get some elevation. Levitate, ironically, will keep you closer to the ground for these fights.

The Western Wastes can be reached by passing through Siren's Grotto.

There are two areas that are off of the Western Wastes. The first is a one-way entrance to the Temple of Veeshan located at +700, +700. The second is the entrance to the Dragon Necropolis located at -2800, +380.
