All I want to say is that timeless valley not having much content is a crime
easily my favorite place and has so much potential, like seriously
They say an ancient tribe lived there who used the power of time, which is one of the most interessting concepts that exist. You know how uch they could do with this?
And the only time you actually go back in time and not just have a flash back (like in hunter's calling) is when you use the altar in timeless valley but after that its not even touched once
so sad

 

A bit of an update: I've decided to remove "misc. islands" from the list since there's too much variation in terms of islands. However, I have added Half-Moon Island and Dead Island (EDIT: and Mage Island, by popular demand) to the list, as both those islands have a decent amount of content.

If you want to change your list, please comment your new list below, as it makes things much easier for me to track.

 

Highest Level Class: 105

Top 5 FAVORITE AREAS (from my list of areas shown above):
1. Detlas Suburbs -- Nostalgia
2. Lake Gylia AND Gert Camps -- I like the lake- its really nice landscaping and vibrant colors. Trees are cool
3. Aldorei Valley -- Like the houses and the aldorei quests, nice colors
4. Sky Islands -- Nice landscaping and colors, not too fond of falling into the void though
5. Jungle AND Troms Outskirts -- spent a lot of time here


Top 5 LEAST FAVORITE AREAS (from my list of areas shown above):
(least favorite overall) 1.
1. Mesa -- Just no hate the colors and mobs
2. Nesaak Tundra -- Lack of colors makes me sad :( also the snow golems suck
3. Skiens Island -- its sad and depressing, maze is not great either

getting lost in the canyon is annoying sometimes, but damn. I love canyon a lot, the design and concept of exploring it all, also getting lost adds another layer of exploration into the mix

:pogfish:

Going to have to go with Katoa Ranch
(Not really entering just wanted to comment on fish new epic pfp)

 

5. Light Forest Outskirts.


I think this is a rather underappreciated area, it's rather small but serves as a nice break from combat, as well as a rather peaceful area to explore.

4. Cinfras Outskirts.


For a similar reason as the last, it's a nice birth of fresh air.
In general, my favorite moments from this game tend to be on the more peaceful exploration side.

3. In The Littlewoods.


These servers, and fills like a simple, and beautiful stroll through what can only be described as an enchanted forest.
Again, being another area that doesn't throw combat at you, it fills nice.

2. Olmic City.


Oh spooky. This area also lacks enemies, but for an entirely different reason than the others.
The idea of a city with no one in it at all truly is unnerving, and what few enemies there are does a fantastic job at making you feel watched.

1. A tie?

Maltic/Ragni Plains.


I'm not going to lie, this only made it here because of nostalgia.
It's not the best-designed area in the game (That's The Olmic city) The most atmospheric, or even the most fun to explore.
Do you want to know what it is, however? It is, at least to me, Wynncraft. Fundamentally when I think of Wynncraft this is the area that comes to mind.
The golden fields and grassy plains can only be described as pure fucking nostalgia injected straight into my blood stream.

Now for my actual number 1. Grave Mistake.


This may be considered cheating, as it is a quest area, but an area non the less.
This area is the most fun exploring I ever had in this game before; not just because it had a quest centered around it, but also because of the small details and secrets you can find around the graveyard.
It's also incredibly atmospheric, rivaling that of olmic city in terms of the creep factor.

I have no doubt that every one of you has realized that all of the areas listed here have a very small amount of combat.
This is mainly because what I like most about this game is exploration. It has the potential to really feel like a game based around discovery, and every one of these areas allow that to that the forefront over combat. I personally wish the game would focus more on placing enemies in areas that make sense, instead of throwing hordes of endless mobs at the player from every direction. That's really all, I prefer it when the game has few, difficult and more interesting enemies, over hordes of cannon fodder.

 

That's a pretty good ranking, would've chosen the same.

 

Ooh, those are some nice choices. Do you two have a list of your 5 least favorite towns though? Knowing them would help a lot with making my final ranking thread.

 

Hello!

The side giveaway for this event has ended. I used random.org to select a number from 1-55, as that is the amount of post numbers. The number randomly selected was 39, which is this post. Congratulation @Bleiiz ! Message me whenever you'd like to claim your 16LE!

That being said, voting for the best and worst locations will continue for another week, as I need way more responses. If you're interested in seeing a true ranking of wynn's non-city/town areas, please check my main post and fill out the form!

 

I love how half (or slightly less) of people said Time Valley is in their top five

 

104/Ar
Favorites:
1. Ruined Olmic City (and I guess entrance to the expanse, since they're together)
Really cool builds and atmosphere, wish there were more chests here
2. Time Valley
Spoopy time magic. Cool area tho
3. Void Valley
*Void Hole?* Anyway lol really like the mobs and layout here, and cool discoveries
4. Half moon Island
rly cool place, good mobs for ingredients and also kinda interesting
5. Mesa
Bandits are cool. Also, really cool area in terms of how it looks and all the mobs and discoveries too.
(No death's realm?? :(( rip my all time favorite area)
Dislikes:
1. Maro Peaks
requires quest helmet, mobs have pull/push spell on those 1 block bridges, annoying to get to
2. Realm of Light
bad quest line and terrible ending, the place is cool but the quests and stuff ruin it for me. Also, quest helmet.
3. Pigman's Ravine
Annoying low and high level. I know my way around, but it's still annoying and the amount of mobs+ quest helmet area (noticing a theme here??) aka creeper cave
4. Sky Islands
Annoying, cuz if you fall its guaranteed death with archer unless you tp scroll, and I only carry detlas scrolls.
5. Aldorei Valley
Bad quest line, I don't like how it looks, and elves piss me off.

 

Alright, let us begin.

Favorites:
1. The Void: Just exploring the void alone in 1k meters under is one of the coolest moments in the game, and it's an area that actually gets expanded upon in multiple quests. And there's even a few hanging threads like the sky fortress that can be expanded upon further in the future. It's just a great area, with an alien feel and some of the more interesting lore bits.
2. Nesaak Tundra: The lore, the dungeons, the ultimate discovery; it's all great. The only reason it's not on top is because the builds, while nice, aren't absolutely stunning. (I'm considering the ultimate discovery as part of it even though I know it's probably Twain Lake territory because it's the reward for all the Nesaak discoveries)
3. Ruined Olmic City: I love the atmosphere, and just the feeling of being constantly on edge even though nothing is attacking you- until something does.
4. Void Valley: Creative concept, done well, and the builds all look great.
5. The Mesa: I love the idea of an area having been co-opted by bandits, and the whole western vibe in it is great. plus, some of the best music in the game.

Honorable Mentions are Northern Corkus, the Twain Graveyard, Time Valley, Mage Island, the Little Wood, and the Eyeball Forest.

Least Favorites:
1. Llevigar plains: I REALLY dislike this place. the quests are all the same besides star thief, there is literally no lore about it, and it's just SO GODDAMN BLAND. There's pretty much no landmarks beside the camps, but the camps all look the same anyways, which sucks because it makes them so annoying to go through when doing the quests. It is the wonderbread of areas.
2. Pre light Forest: See above, it holds true here, and the only reason this isn't #1 is because it has the clock mystery
3. Maro Peaks: Why does the climbing helmet need to exist? Nice Music, but that's about it
4. The Savannah: There's not a single quest in the savannah itself, and it got completely passed over for discoveries. It's flyover country.
5. Roots of Corruption: Why is the literal gateway to almost all of the evils in Wynn one of the lowest levelled areas in the game? and why, of all places, is this area the one place you don't need any special protection to enter? sure, I need a helmet to climb maro peaks, but you're telling me I can just waltz right up in front of the nether portal with zero repercussions?
