The [[Wastelands]] is a vast and dangerous PvP-enabled area where players can attack—and be attacked by—others at any time. If you die, other players can loot your items and [[equipment]], making any venture into the Wastelands a calculated risk. High rewards await, but only for those prepared to face the threat of open [[combat]].

There are three non-teleport ways to enter the Wastelands:
* South of [[Celadon City]]
* East through [[Hifrost Peak]]
* By casting [[Rage Obelisk Teleport]] to the [[Rage Obelisk]]

'''Keep in mind:''' if you're more than 20 levels deep into the Wastelands, you cannot teleport out—except with [[Blood Teleport]], which bypasses this restriction.

The region is packed with unique content, including the infamous [[Wasteland Maze]], [[Water Dragon]]s, [[Cursed Goblin]]s, entrance to the [[Undercroft Dungeon]], and the formidable boss [[Damogui]]. There's also a dedicated [[Skoll's Skrolls|scroll shop]] and various rare spawns and chests scattered throughout the zone.

== Wasteland Mechanics ==
=== Increased Drop Rates ===
The [[Wastelands]] are one of the few areas in ''[[HighSpell]]'' that offer increased drop rates. [[Bestiary|Monsters]] here (excluding [[Damogui]]) have a 20% higher chance to drop [[Rare Loot Table|rare loot]]<ref>[https://highspell.wiki/w/images/c/c1/Dew-Wastelands-DropTable-Clarification.png Dew confirmed that this refers specifically to the Rare Drop Table, not the enemy's individual "rare loot" pool.]</ref> or [[Treasure Map]]s, rewarding those who brave the risk.

=== Persistent Aggression ===
Any [[Non-player Character|NPC]] that is normally only [[aggressive]] until a certain [[Combat Level|combat level]] will always remain aggressive within the [[Wastelands]], regardless of the player's level.

=== PvP Level Scaling ===
The [[Wastelands]] use a progressive PvP level system: the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. When you first enter at level 1 Wasteland depth, only players within 1 [[Combat Level|combat level]] of you can engage in PvP. However, as you move deeper—level 5, 10, 20, and beyond—the range widens. For example, at level 20 Wasteland depth, any player within 20 combat levels can attack you.

This scaling system rewards risk-takers with better opportunities for loot, but also exposes them to much greater threats from higher-level players. Always keep an eye on your depth level if you're traveling with valuable items.
