Tips for this area

Starting out — BuildingTo start building, players will need a form of lumber as their primary resource, as well as any other basic items that building structures, furniture, and decorations will require.Misc. Routes — Dowdun Reach - The LakeFirst accessed during the Black Knight's Fortress quest, The Lake contains a huge variety of mining nodes such as silver, gold, coal and limestone. Players can build a lodestone right next to the nodestone in The Courtyard for easy access to the nodestone network.Trees — MapleMaple trees become a viable source of experience once the Dowdun Reach region is unlocked and the player has acquired a mithril logging axe. Just like all trees, chopping maple trees becomes significantly faster after unlocking better logging axes.
