One can either discover all the locations by simply exploring them through Patrol at the potential cost of (1) quest per attempt.
To save oneself a quest, or in case one's level is too low to explore in Patrol, one can use different items to access the locations:
- Rux's Dowsing Rods grants access to Rux's Recovered Rarities. Rux's Dowsing Rods be found from any encounter in: Dunjeons, Mountains, Hie Brasil, Shangala and Azteca.
- Hjertstone Compass grants access to the Hjertstone. It can be purchased from Djinni's Magic Shop.
- Cooling Stone of Tlaloc grants access to Patrol where the player can spend (1) quest to explore and face encounters. The Cooling Stone of Tlaloc drops from Warriors and Priests in Azteca
- Spelunk is found by spending quests in Patrol.
The earliest one can enter Caverns is level 12, since that's the level requirement of the Mounds which the Caverns is inside of.
Caverns
Is the newest area per V1.20.001 and boasting several new features such as:
- The Hjertstone

Hjertstone
The Hjertstone plays a central role in the Glimmerforge Caverns patch. There you will pray and, forge, dismantle and soulbind equipment related to Soulbound.
Praying

Rux's Recovered Rarities
The enigmatic Rux sells goods of all sorts procured from across the lands of Dragon Court.
- Essence Exchange
- At Rux's Recovered Rarities players can exchange Essences for a lower tier Essence. For example, an Essence of Bravery (from Azteca) can be exchanged for an Essence of Honor (from Shangala) at a 1:1 ratio. It's not as simple to upgrade Essences from a lower tier to a higher tier. A random selection of 3 types of Essences per visit can be upgraded to a higher tier Essence and the ratio is not 1:1 for this, but spanning from 2:1 to 4:1. Essence of Abyss is never available in this selection.
- Daily Rotational Goods (Goods are refreshed at the start of the daily reset)
- A wide selection of items appear from Rux's daily rotational goods. Among them are the exclusive, to Rux and the Wheel of Fate, snacks! Bravery Biscuit, Silvertongue Syrup and Viridescent Tea. These new snacks are very popular items in the Glimmerforge Caverns update. They give the user permanent stat gains. Bravery Biscuit can give 1-3 Guts, Silvertongue Syrup 1-3 Charm, and Viridescent Tea 1-3 Wits. Other sought after items are also available in the shop's rotation. See further below for a complete list of those items.

- At Rux's Recovered Rarities, common, silver and crystal equipment is available for purchase at the cost of Essences.
