Desert City

Desert City lies in the northwest of the main continent, on the sea shore at the edge of the Desert. The official portal map shows four places on the Desert map: Desert City, the Mystic Castle, Yumen Village and the Fountain.

The city picture shows sandstone walls with gate towers and water channels, and a large terraced garden building rising behind it. The quest guide also places a village, a Hill Monster lair and the Moon Spring on the same map.

• The official portal map connects the Desert with the Wind Plain, the map around Twin City. One Desert City quest even sends you to that portal to collect tree seeds.
• Through the quests: at level 67 Captor Cooke in Love Canyon gives you a letter for the DC Vice Captain (500,652).
• The DCCaptain (476,691) and the Conductress (478,631) stand close together near the warehouse.

The Matchmaker makes Desert City one of the places where couples can marry (see Marriage). A Pharmacist is also marked near Guru Todd. The quest guide adds the DC Vice General (520,641), Taoist Yu (524,650), General ZhuGe (501,304) and Ironsmith Li (491,256) in the village, Convoy Leader Gu (359,246), and Spring General Xu (311,481) at the Moon Spring.

The Desert is the fourth step of the hunting ladder, with four monster families that get stronger the further you travel from the city: the Sand Monsters are closest, the Blade Ghosts furthest away.

The Desert City zone quests cover levels 67 to 86. They start with the city's own safety, move out to the troubled village and its Hill Monsters, and end at the Moon Spring, where the Blade Ghosts threaten the city's water.
