Ancient Circle Northern Swamp – Blood of Dawnwalker

The Ancient Circles of Vale Sangora are a daytime Activity in The Blood of Dawnwalker, and the ruins at the Northern Swamp south of Mert’s Mill are one of several sets scattered across the map. Discovering them starts the activity, but the trial only wakes when you use Astral Communion at the centre of the circle. Clearing it costs a single time slot and pays out a Skill Point, 250 XP and a chest holding the Mercurial Fervour Manual.

Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
