Introduction

This guide aims to bring together info, considerations and tips that all relate to the newest "Bog" region that was added to the game.

The new area features two major downsides that need to be taken into account when traveling there:

  • Traveling in and out of the Bog is done via activities, this means traditional traveling gear does not work and over-encumbrance mechanics become an issue when traveling out of the bog.
  • Traveling inside of the Bog requires light sources which again adds to the inventory management.

Highlights of the Bog:

Traveling out of the bog gives you an opportunity to pass by the job boards zero-time to pick up or deliver jobs. This is essentially the best way to farm Trinketry Chests.


Traveling to and from

There are three ways to get into the bog.

There are two ways to get out of the bog.


A key realization is that these "traveling activities" do not provide any drops. Hence we don't care about most tool/equipment attributes in the game and only care about work efficiency when optimizing our "bog traveling" gear. Since 25% WE can be obtained for free from being above the level requirement, it is easy to reach near maximum WE (and thus near minimum traveling steps).
