Quick Guide
  • On Normal, follow Kings Woods → Spire Hill Crypt → Spire Hill Crypt Lower → Kings Woods South → Tazan Wastes. The table lists enemy levels and preceding clears from a dated community reference; choose a sustainable loop rather than treating enemy level as an entry guarantee.

Read a region route without confusing it with a leveling schedule

Follow Kings Woods, the two Spire Hill Crypt sections, Kings Woods South and Tazan Wastes in that order on Normal. The table below gives the named stage, its enemy level, its gathering materials and the preceding clear. These are navigation references from AFK Meta’s 3 October data snapshot. They are not a promise that a hero of the same level can farm each stage, and they are not measured experience per hour.

A region route answers where a stage belongs in the chain. Your farming choice also depends on recovery, time spent returning to town, storage and the kind of materials you want. If a newer stage creates repeated deaths or leaves the carriage blocked, the next map marker can be accessible without being a good unattended destination. Use the route to locate the option, then observe the full loop before committing to it.

Kings Woods: establish the loop before the first boss

Kings Woods begins with enemy levels 1–2 and reaches the Bloodmoon Werewolf boss stage at level 10. Stages 1 and 2 list Mushroom; Starleaf joins the material list from stage 3. Stage 4 is a mini-boss stage with Raptor listed as a possible Legendary minion drop. This distinguishes the early Raptor stop from the region-ending Bloodmoon Werewolf encounter at stage 7.

Treat stage 3 as a useful observation point because the source marks an elite chance there. A loop that survives ordinary encounters may behave differently when an elite appears. Keep the same weapon, potion settings and minions while watching that change so you can identify the limiting factor. Do not infer that the listed Legendary minion will drop on a first clear; its presence in the special-drop pool gives a destination to investigate, not a guaranteed reward.

Spire Hill Crypt and its lower section are separate milestones

After Kings Woods: 7, the reference opens Spire Hill Crypt: 1. Its four stages run from enemy levels 11–12 through 16, with Dark Elf Mage at the stage 4 mini-boss stop. Clearing that opens Spire Hill Crypt Lower: 1; the lower chain reaches Ogre at stage 3, enemy level 19. Iron Ore appears throughout the crypt route and Gold Ore joins the later part.

Match Dark Elf Mage and Ogre together with the map labels in your own build when using this community naming scheme. A different label in an older description is not by itself evidence of an extra dungeon or an additional boss. If you are searching for Ogre while standing at the Dark Elf Mage stop, inspect the lower-section transition rather than repeatedly running the earlier mini-boss.

Kings Woods South and Tazan Wastes: choose materials alongside progress

Kings Woods South starts at enemy levels 20–21 and ends with Ancient Oak Treant at level 28. Its early materials include Starleaf and Mushroom, followed by Oak Leaf. Venom Queen is the stage 4 mini-boss. Tazan Wastes then begins at levels 28–29 and ends at the Dread Sand Manticore boss at level 34; the table identifies where Desert Rose, Iron Ore and Gold Ore occur.

If you are collecting potion ingredients, identify the named material before you choose a stage. A later enemy level alone does not tell you whether that ingredient is present. If your goal is a boss material, use a boss reference or the recipe page as well: general gathering materials in this table are different from a boss’s special-drop materials. A stable earlier stage can be a deliberate ingredient stop while a boss attempt is a separate supervised activity.

A repeatable procedure for the next stage

Clear the preceding stage

Use the final column to check the direct prerequisite. If the next marker is locked, record the last completed stage rather than assuming a level requirement.

Choose one goal

Decide whether this session is for progress, a gathering material or a named boss encounter. Avoid calling a low-material run a failure when progress was the chosen goal.

Observe a complete run

Confirm Auto Rerun is on before expecting repeats: Wikily reports it off by default, with a 4-second stage countdown shared on the PC. Watch ordinary encounters, the return to town and the restart; record actual interruptions.

Check item handling

Review capacity and sell/salvage rules before leaving the loop unattended. A full carriage or protected-item backlog can stop an otherwise healthy combat setup.

Change one limiting factor

Adjust recovery, equipment or the node individually. Keep a short record of the result so a successful run can be repeated. No particular duration or success percentage is claimed here.

Questions about the early route

Q: Are the enemy levels minimum hero levels?

No. The source labels them enemy levels on Normal. The prerequisite column describes the preceding stage clear; survival and unlock conditions must be checked in your build.

Q: Will advancing through the map happen automatically?

The retained launch guide describes repeating the selected node. Treat choosing the next node as a separate action; a repeatable idle loop is not proof that the game advances the route for you.

Q: Why are three skull names listed for some boss entries?

The map source combines difficulty-specific entry items in its listing. Do not read the merged line as proof that Normal consumes all three together; check the difficulty and entry tooltip before starting.

Q: Does a named minion entry guarantee a Rein?

No. It identifies a source-listed special-drop pool. It is not a first-clear reward guarantee or a measured drop probability.
