ideas for desert, and all the sandy area's around it. Agility.
like the actual game you could include a corse that you do to get your agility up, and everytime you finish the corse you get some kind of token. and you can either sell this token to player or give it to a npc at the corse for maby 5k agility xp. this would give another way to get xp and even get money selling the tokens to other players.
Bandits.
these could be a monster we could train on. they could be around lvl 60-80. and drop things like beserker helms ( the fremeric helms ). this would give players another way to get items that could improve there armour and give them another cool item to put in there bank.
Quest.
seing as tho the anchients staff is so powerfull. i think this would be the perfect place to introduce a quest that alows you to use it, this is because this is the area the staff came from and it would give a nice background story to the staff.
Another quest.
like my other ideas post maby put in a quest to show people around the area, showing them the monsters, shops and anything else interesting around there.
Thats all im going to post tonight, i might have more 2morrow.
