Another T5 zone is Feerrott.

[LaurnaRose Fauldorn]

anyone else have any zones they'd wish to add?

Maybe it should be mentioned that there are access quests that are required before you can access the harvestable instances of Vale of the Shattering (Correct name is Shattered Vale?), Eternal Gorge, or Cove of Decay. Might also be worthwhile to point out that while the Shattered Vale is a T2 harvestable instance, there are very few nodes (Can't be more then half a dozen or so and quite a bit of a run to get to them) in comparison to Eternal Gorge or Cove of Decay.Shattered Vale - Vale of the Shattering 3-part access quest - Allakhazam (Doesn't have it in it's database?) or <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Vale_of_Shattering:_Proof_of_Worth" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">EQ2i</a>.Eternal Gorge -  Zarvonn's Legacy access quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=26" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Allakhazam</a> or <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Zarvonn%27s_Legacy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">EQ2i</a>.Cove of Decay - Cove of Decay 3-part access quest - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=978" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Allakhazam </a>or <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cove_of_Decay_-_Prison_Break" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">EQ2i</a>.Another thing that might be worth pointing out is the level requirement to gray out the zone to safely harvest. I have no real idea for Shattered Vale, but for Eternal Gorge I want to say at least 30 or maybe a few levels higher. Cove of Decay is a more definitely answer of 40 as the mobs on the shore top out at 29, I do believe.

<p>EG is loaded with highly social level 20ish skellies.</p>

<p>Okay, sufficient for those three zones? </p><li>Shattered Vale - lvl 17-20 mobs - Vale of the Shattering 3-part access quest - <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=1361" target="_blank">Allakhazam </a>or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Vale_of_Shattering:_Proof_of_Worth" target="_blank">EQ2i</a>.</li><li>Eternal Gorge -  lvl 10, 19-23 mobs - Zarvonn's Legacy access quest - <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=26" target="_blank">Allakhazam</a> or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Zarvonn's_Legacy" target="_blank">EQ2i</a>.</li><li>Cove of Decay - lvl 20-31 mobs - Cove of Decay 3-part access quest - <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=978" target="_blank">Allakhazam </a>or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cove_of_Decay_-_Prison_Break" target="_blank">EQ2i</a>.</li><p>And btw, thank you all so much for helping me do this.  I know I personally appritiate it.  Are there any higher level instances like these?  T5/6/7?  And are there any more zones like these?</p>
