View source for Oxbow River Wildlife Refuge

== Location ==

Opening a map at [[New Verden]]'s entrance, Oxbow shows up to the east, and a little south. If you find Stoneybrook, you just have to go a little further east. It's sprite on the map will look like a mushroom by a tree. 

It is recommended you be at least level 5 before exploring here, and level 8 before beginning the [[Fairy Queen's Amethyst ]]Quest. 

== What You'll Find ==

In the beginning area, you'll find a sign that you should definitely read, a few watering holes around the edges, a "Capture The Flag" mansion, a suspicious looking boulder leading to a shop, a river leading south towards the rest of the map, a ruined town to the northeast, and a Souvenir Shop. 

== Following The River ==

Further down the river you will find a another suspicious boulder along the left bank. 

Heading down again you will find a Grizzly Bear that isn't aggressive, along with a mushroom that leads to what seems to be the Fairy Queen's home. On the right banks you will find a cave guarded by goblins. Inside is a goblin fortress and at the end you will find The Goblin Chief, and a suspicious looking throne. 

Further south you will find a swamp with a cave, a house in a tree, numerous fishing holes long the edges, and a lily pad in a small puddle that leads to a zone warning you not to swim.

== Tips ==

*Bring a scroll of fly

*Read the signs, they'll tell you what level you need to be to traverse the caves. Binyamin had a way of tormenting players that refused to read signs

*The hardest enemy here is a floating eye at the last map and and a basilisk below the waterfall that can petrify you, be quick
