Guide:Faroda's Guide to Locked Progression

Introduction

There are several items, activities, and achievements that are locked behind a tiered progress. This guide is to provide a shorthand on the order to do them. This does not include the requirement to purchase a Camel before entering Wrentmark.

Skiing

Skiing is an Agility activity centered around Jarvonia. Note: The Rescue team activity in the Horn of Respite) also requires any skis equipped, but benefits from higher quality skis. The activity chain progresses as follows:

• Acquire Birch skis through Cut birch trees, Cut pine trees, Forest foraging, or purchasing them for 31 Coins from JarvoJoy in Frusenholm. These require at least Agility at level 5.
• Complete Classic skiing in Casbrant Fields 50 times
• Acquire Pine skis by purchasing them for 71 Coins from JarvoJoy in Frusenholm. These require at least Agility at level 15 and completing Classic skiing 50 times. Pine skis are not required but provide +16% Work efficiency, compared to the Birch Skis’ +7% Work efficiency
• Complete Skate skiing in Noiseless Pass 50 times

You’ve now unlocked the use of the following:

• Oak skis (purchasable for 71 Coins from JarvoJoy in Frusenholm)
• Bert's super-skis ((purchasable for 750 Adventurers' guild token from the Adventurers' Guild Outpost in the Horn of Respite)

Five “shortcut” routes exist in Jarvonia that are only open to players wearing skis and have Agility at level 25. They are as follows:

• Frostbite Mountain ↔ Kallaheim
• Kallaheim ↔ Nurturing Nook Springs
• Nurturing Nook Springs ↔ Casbrant Fields
• Casbrant Fields ↔ Azurazera
• Frusenholm ↔ Fort of Permafrost

These shortcuts takes you from Frostbite Mountain to Azurazera in 2255 base steps; without skis, the trek is 2939 base steps

Cave Bats

The cave bat line is a line of steps that will result in the player exploring southern Jarvonia and end up in Grand Duchy of Trellin-Erdwise (GDTE).

• Purchase the Black eye peak wilderness permit. This can be purchased for 100 Adventurers' guild token from the Adventurers' Guild Outpost in the Horn of Respite
• Complete Spring cave foraging in Winter's End 10 times. This requires Agility level 35 and equipping an item with the Light source Keyword

You have now unlocked Summer cave foraging in Bog Top. This requires Agility level 50 and equipping two light sources. You can return to Jarvonia without the Jarvonian Letter of Passage, which is sold at Fort of Permafrost, but without it, the only viable routes to leave Jarvonia again are Spring Bat Tracking or through Syrenthia.

Items with the Light source Keyword include the following:

• Hand lantern
• Simple torch
• Glowstick
• Mining helmet
• Fireflies in a jar
• Candlehat

For Foraging activities, the best items are the Gem shield (so as to not occupy any other equipment slot) and Fireflies in a jar (for the bonus to Foraging activities), although any of the above equipment will suffice for the Light source requirements.

Skydiscs

The Skydisc courses and equipment are also Agility activities. This is currently split between Jarvonia and Grand Duchy of Trellin-Erdwise (GDTE).
