View source for Veeshan's Peak

{{HoleVP Era}}
'''Veeshan's Peak''' (VP) is found in [[Skyfire Mountains]], inside of a large gate guarded by elder wyverns. Veeshan's Peak is the ancient fortress of the [[Ring of Scale]], the dragons that rebelled against the Claws of Veeshan and left with Jaled'Dar to Kunark. The dragons were responsible for the death of the last Iksar Emperor Ganak over the Field of Bone. His spiteful spirit still retains the key to the ancient citadel of Veeshan's Peak. The dragons of Veeshan's Peak have warded the zone to prevent any exit by teleporting or gating. The only exits are deep in the lairs of VP's dragons. The [[Key_of_Veeshan|Key of Veeshan]] is required to gain entrance to Veeshan's Peak and it can be obtained via the [[Rune_of_Scale_Quest#Key to Veeshan's Peak|Rune of Scale Quest]].

When this zone was released on live, it was accompanied by the statement below:

 We recommend that only the most advanced and organized players in the game even attempt to enter this zone.
 The customer service staff (GMs and Guides) will not assist players in any way in regards to this zone.
 This includes help for issues such as unrecoverable corpses (see your local Necromancer),
 or characters finding themselves stuck (see your local Magician), bugs, etc.

== Dangers ==

Veeshan's Peak is the hardest zone in the Kunark expansion.

There are two main dangers in this zone. One is that there are several types of monsters that wander the outer regions of the zone. Killing these creatures cause ones to replace them almost immediately, so your best bet is to keep moving further into the zone.

The second danger is that the dragons that roam the zone are incredibly powerful. Given that the only escape is to fight them and make it out the other side alive, you'd better be capable of taking on level 65 dragons that fight the way dragons do in this zone. There are also a couple that are known to wander, so you run the risk of being "jumped" by a second dragon when engaging the first. Good luck to you, and have your clerics ready to camp fast...

== Benefits ==

This zone contains raid-quality items for the Kunark expansion. Many items are made obsolete by loot available in Velious, but there are some notable exceptions: {{:Robe of the Azure Sky}}, {{:Shissar Apothic Staff}}, {{:Blood Orchid Katana}}, {{:Grey Suede Boots}}

== Traveling To and From Veeshan's Peak ==

Veeshan's Peak is located in the heart of the [[Skyfire Mountains]], at approximate /loc of +3400, +3000. The [[Key_of_Veeshan|Key of Veeshan]] is required to gain entrance to Veeshan's Peak and it can be obtained via the [[Rune_of_Scale_Quest#Key to Veeshan's Peak|Rune of Scale Quest]]. 

Port spells do not work in Veeshan's Peak, therefore the only means of exit is through one of the zone out portals in Xygoz's lair (goes to Swamp of No Hope), Druushk's lair (East Freeport), Nexona (Skyfire), or Phara Dar (Plane of Sky Isle 1).

'''Note:''' Locked doors in Veeshan's Peak require a skill of 210 to pick.

'''Note:''' The zone is outdoors so SoW works, however Harmony does not work in this zone.
