Idian Depths: From Katalam Part 2

In my previous post I outlined the ways to reach Idian Depths from the Katalam base camps.
In this post I'll show the way to ID from a regional non-base camp location.

There is one entrance to ID from Katalam that I know of.  It is located in the Quarantine Area
(southeast Katalam),  see pic below.

The entrance door close up

When you port through,  you arrive in the south east area of ID,  the second canal to be exact.

You land in the second canal of ID after porting through

Good luck and happy trails :)

Idian Depths: How to Get There from Katalam

Idian Depths:  The lvl 65 only region that was introduced in 4.0.  As its name implies,  its an underground
zone.  Its also one of the most unique places ever introduced into Aion so far.  Its an open world pvp region
without any safe zone obelisk pads.  The main safe zone that exists is the central hub,  called Segurinerk's Bazaar,  where both factions can take quests from their respective NPCs.  buy special things from special
vendors,  get soul healing,  and bind to if they want (for an incredible $4 million K!).  There are a couple of other safe zones that are entrances/exits from Katalam/Danaria.  More on those later.   The main purpose of
this article is to explain all the ways of getting to ID,  and where they put you on the ID map.

The 2 factions each have a default entrance to ID.  The entrance is in the base camp near each faction's Katalam fort.    For the Elyos its the Primeval Ruins camp in Loftus Woods.   For the Asmos its Beritran
Foothold in Stellman Valley. See pics below.

For Elyos: The Primeval Ruins base camp in Loftus Woods has the default entrance to Idian Depths

The entrance in Loftus Woods

Beritran Foothold in Stellman Valley is the default base camp ID entrance for Asmodians.

From the  Beritran Foothold base camp (default for Asmodians),  this is where you land in Idian Depths

This is the default entrance for Asmodians,  so the NPCs appear disabled to me

Each default faction entrance has faction specific NPCs,  which give quests to members of the faction they represent.  If your faction owns the opposing faction's default Idian Depths entrance base camp,  then
you can use the entrance to ID but you won't be able to interact with the NPCs.

The 3rd base camp entrance is Broken Cliff camp in Relics of Sorrow.  This is an excellent entrance
because it places you in an area of ID that is unreachable by the opposite faction while your faction owns the camp!

Location of Broken Cliff Camp:  the 3rd and last base camp entrance to ID in Katalam

The area of ID you port into from the Broken Cliff entrance

From Broken Cliff Camp,  you land in the Clawed Fist Garrison,  the northern-most area of ID.  Its a great place to grind mobs or get quests done because as I mentioned above,  it can't be reached by your enemies
until the base camp flips factions.

I hope this helps those of you new to Katalam and lvl 65.  Happy trails in Aion :)
