'''Field of Whispers''' ('''FoW''') is located just west of Heine; if you come out from Heine, you are pretty much in '''FoW'''. '''FoW''' is approximately the southern half of the '''Innadril''' penisula, the northern half being the '''Field of Silence'''.

'''FoW''' is connected to the '''Garden of Eva''' on the southern part of the penisula, but as that location is an underwater location, it is not advisable for [[Lineage_2/Definitions#P|PCs]] to go there without proper preparation and/ or a party.

On its own, the tall grass is sufficient to hide [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] and you may run into [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] without realising it. Combined with the rolling hills and ridges, if you are not careful and run over a ridge without checking, you can end up retreating over said ridge with a bunch of very irate ''Crokians'' hot on your heels -- that's not a good way to live.

There is no real dominating terrain in '''FoW'''. It literally '''IS''' one big swamp. It's a nicely rendered swamp though. :)<BR style="clear:both;"><!-- this BR is to adjust the overall page so that the image looks correct. -->

== Rest Spots ==
* Rest Spots are plentiful in '''FoW'''. The [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] are rather scattered, so a [[Lineage_2/Definitions#P|PC]] can find spots where s/ he can rest without worrying too much. The interior of '''FoW''' tends to have a higher concentration of aggressive [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]], so resting spots have to be carefully scouted.

* The main thing to remember is that typically there is one or two aggressive [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] within a particular area. It is possible for them to wander into your rest areas, so if it looks too close to an aggressive [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mob]], it might be better simply to find another spot.

* As noted earlier, '''FoW''' is deceptively open. The abundance of tall grass and gullies where [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] are (in)conveninently placed means a [[Lineage_2/Definitions#P|PC]] running full out can end up running straight into aggressive [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]], typically ''Crokians''.

* The best way to travel is actually to zoom out as far as possible and just run as per normal. The extended field of vision is typically enough for you to look over the ridgeline to see if any [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] are on the reverse slope, and once you are on the ridge, those hiding in the grass are often visible.

* This is still not a foolproof method though, as the lay of the land can really hide a [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mob]] till the very last moment (when their IDs automatically appear, by which time you are almost into aggressive range). It is best to run in small stages, zoom out as much as possible, and keep alert and ready to turn back.

* The good news is that the openess of the area allows solo players to easily pull [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] into areas s/ he has previously scouted. '''FoW''' can be a good place to solo, if the proper preparations are made.

These varies from mid 30's to low 40's. The density of [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] is moderate, but adequate for hunting purposes. The range of [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] make this an ideal hunting ground for [[Lineage_2/Definitions#P|PCs]] who are close to their 2nd Profession Change, or around level 35 or so. Solo level 32s or so can also hunt here, as the ''Rakuls'' and ''Crokians (basic)'' in particular are only yellow, and give very good [[Lineage_2/Definitions#X|XP]]/ [[Lineage_2/Definitions#S|SP]] and [[Lineage_2/Definitions#A|adena]].
