Mistlands
- Wisplight from Wisp Fountain (Torn Spirit) clears mist locally; Wiseman staff later
- Soft Tissue from Dvergr remains → Eitr Refinery → Refined Eitr
- Black Cores from Infested Mines — Black Forge / Galdr / Extractor
- Seekers / Gjalls: poison resist, pierce/spirit weapons, don't stand in mist blind
- Extraction base: portal, wisp, secure extractor, food chest — expect seeker raids
Ashlands
- Land with Drakkar or portal onto a secured beachhead — don't swim
- Flametal ore processing chain; Putrid Holes and Charred Fortresses for progression mats
- Fire resist foods/meads mandatory; shields vs blood magic tradeoffs
- Fader: three Bells → adrenaline-aware kit
Deep North
- Bloodgold / Frost Foundry / Frigid Kiln unlock path
- Nord armour set pieces; Intricate Keys → Mörkhalla / Jotun loops
- Aesir Passage → Kall Fimbulbringer (frost kit checklist on Forsaken)

Black Marble portals make Mistlands+ logistics trivial for metals and EpicLoot stashes — coastal smelters optional. Chase Ancient EL pieces and Armory Flametal/Dreadfire lines for Kall.
