Guide Dragonlings Of The Depths Grind Spot

Decided to make a guide on this spot as there seem to be quite a few misconceptions floating around about it.

For one thing, there are only level 98 'Dragonlings of the Depths' here, no 'black dragonlings' or anything else.



Spawning is pretty consistent, although you may have to move around a bit. Experience is not that great considering these things are beasts, I'm guessing just under 3k raw each (as you can see I am level 98).

It's a big cave with a hole in the middle leading to a subterranean lake, and a fountain in the center of that:



If you doubt your build at all, don't fall in here:



The directions I saw posted were from Ahmsord, it's possible but I wouldn't recommend it, mainly because you can't go back the way you came. This is the location of the cave from the south end of Ahmsord (at my cursor):



My minimap should help you pinpoint this spot, I use Journeymap 'fairplay' edition (no entity radar or cave mapping) so I don't / can't break any rules. This next picture is from the large island southeast of Ahmsord, you could drop down from here. This island mostly covers the cave entrance:



I approach the area from Kandon-Beda instead, it's much easier, and it's pretty much the only way out. Head east along the mountainous map border, climbing when possible:



When you get to the castle, it's easiest to go over it:



Just past the castle the mountain wall will turn, drop down to where my cursor is pointed:



As far as getting out again, I'm pretty sure assassins will need a scroll, this is the best I could do for an overall picture of the ledge the cave is on:



This is how I go back to Kandon-Beda, I hurl myself over void around a corner to land I cannot see, good times:



Ten pictures uploaded so done for now, if you have any questions, fire away.

Disclaimer: All the information in this post is accurate to the best of my knowledge at the time of this post, map updates and changes happen though, so keep that in mind.

Happy hunting!

 

The lower island near snail island is still better though

 

This post is about this cave, not about which grind spot is the best. Whichever spot is best is for you to decide for yourself, as they mostly depend on your level and what damage you deal / absorb the best.

 

Nice guide!

 

Thank you! I hope it helps, this is a tough spot for screenshots.

Bonus pics:

 

Are those the same guys that cast spells that toss you around?

 

no those are black dragonlings

 

This would have been useful before I hit lv 100... rip

 

NOOO my secret grinding spot ;-;

 

I just want the coordinates of the cave...

 

ey look at his minimap

 

That pic totally looks like a GIANT dragon foot print. maybe its the one Siegfried took down!

That cave is empty at the moment, the signs say the coal blocks are 'toxic sludge'.

 

Meh...I don't really see too many people flocking to this spot, and I'll explain why:

1. How many 98+ people do you think are still out grinding?
2. If it's just xp you are after, this isn't the spot for you, the many neutral dragonlings around give more (closer to 4k). I like to earn my xp, and these guys keep me sharp....plus attacking neutral mobs is boring as hell.
3. As I said, assassins probably have to scroll out, and archers will have to be on top of their game.

It's nice to have an alternate place to go, grinding in the same spot for days and days is also boring as hell.

 

@xBurrito dis the spot!
