Korthia is just another Tanaan Jungle.

It's Bliz force disabling flying and then making the landscape into an endless maze of going up and down hills and around pointless obstacles to add empty game play time so they don't have to pay any more money to their offshore content designers.

This becomes really obvious when the only objective to a quest is literally to meet the quest giver on the other side of the map.

My experience in this zone so far has been 90% "even though I am an all-powerful, all seeing wizard I can't do the thing I need to do here, you'll need to walk through this maze of land features that is a gauntlet of high level trash mobs to get to me so I can do the thing over there."

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Finding One's True PurposeLevel 60

    All our efforts have led us here. With the combined wisdom of the Archivists, and a little help from a <race> <class>, we will attune the Lodestaff to the relics that we seek. Should we succeed, we will have what we need to re-establish the Archive. Our sacred work can then continue.
