The Southern Plains of Karana mark the southernmost expanse of the vast Plains of Karana, and lie just north of the Rathe mountain range and the swamplands beyond. They are generally quieter than the other areas of the plains, there are no hill giants or griffons around. Wolves, lions, and elephants roam the plains here for EverQuest Platinum, with the occasional centaur hunter in chase.
This zone is very dangerous only if you are the type of person who likes to make enemies. By that, I mean that if you have been hunting creatures to earn EverQuest Platinum that generally leave you alone, this zone will be very deadly for you, as they all are roaming throughout the area.
Bestiaries living in the Plains
The only other real danger in this zone, aside from the above, is the roaming elephant named Cracktusk. This elephant has been driven into a homicidal rage by the crack in his tusk that causes him exquisite pain. Be very careful of this creature, for although he is not in the zone often, if he is he can sense you from farther away than you can see him, and he runs far faster than any character can without the aid of magic.
The other NPC that can be dangerous is Lord Grimrot himself. He is the bane of the Qeynos area, and there are many quests surrounding this character. He spawns at the northernmost undead ruins, just south of the bridge, and appears either as a human dressed in plate carrying a large scythe or as a skeleton.
EverQuest Platinum Benefits in the Plains
The largest benefit of this area is that it is one of the busiest in terms of creatures for EverQuest Platinum areas to adventure in. A person could solo or group here from the low-teens up to the early 30’s in level and never leave. The large spaces allow us druids our room to kite in, and groups can also pull from the various known spawn spots.
