Finding Karlata

Finding Karlata can be difficult. because she is just in the middle of the woods in Redshore. Here is how to find her easily:

• Go into Redshore from Dryfoot (NW corner behind Vantessa's Camp)
• Follow the road a pretty short distance (from the bottom of the stairs when you first hit the road, follow the road with the run buff for 55 seconds) until you come to the specific tree shown in the picture below. You will see a large tree covered in leaves, a bush next to it , and a log in the road right in front of it.

• Once you get to this point turn due east and run into the woods, you should be able to see her almost right away standing in the distance.
