Uncovered Graves

As an old continent home to many conflicts, many unexpected burial sites exist around Alharth. Almost every actively inhabited region has forgotten, unmarked graveyards. Sometimes, changing conditions can uncover graves, bringing forth restless spirits and undead.

Grave Name	Locations	Level	Experience
Shallow Grave	Serbule Hills	1	25
Shallow Grave	Serbule	1	25
Shallow Grave	Central and Southeast Eltibule	1	50
Very Old Grave	Eltibule near Casino and near Hogan's Keep	19	125
Exposed Grave	Kur Mountains	35	200

Grave Sharing

“

Keep in mind that you can share corpse-talking shallow graves - so you can, for example, hold the grave you found open for a friend who also wants that corpse's expertise. It will despawn eventually, or if you desecrate it.
