Overview
Stakato Nest is a level 70-80 underground dungeon on the Scryde server. The stakato are a race of intelligent insects organized into a colony with a strict hierarchy. The nest is home to several subtypes: Stakato Drone, Stakato Worker, Stakato Soldier, Stakato Captain and Stakato Chief. It is one of the best zones for high-level group leveling, offering an excellent mix of XP and drops.
Stats & Drops
Stakato Nest mobs have high HP and are aggressive. They drop A-grade and S-grade materials such as Enria, Asofe, Mold Hardener and Metallic Fiber, along with A-grade weapon and armor recipes. Stakato Chief (level 78-80) drops the most valuable items, including S-grade set parts. Spoil yields Crystal (A-grade), Gemstone (A) and other crafting components. XP per kill is high, on par with other zones of a similar level.
| Mob | Level | Notable drops / spoil |
|---|---|---|
| Stakato Drone / Worker | 70-73 | A-grade materials, recipes |
| Stakato Soldier | 74-77 | Enria, Asofe, Crystal (A) |
| Stakato Captain | 76-79 | Mold Hardener, Metallic Fiber, Gemstone (A) |
| Stakato Chief | 78-80 | S-grade set parts, top-tier recipes |
Tactics
Stakato Nest is a full 9-player party zone. A tank, healer and DD line-up is mandatory. The mobs have social aggro: hit one stakato and nearby ones join the fight. A-grade equipment is the minimum, and S-grade makes farming far smoother. The puller should drag mobs in carefully, one or two at a time, to avoid a mass pull. Deeper in the dungeon the mobs are tougher, but the loot is better. AoE farming is possible, but it demands an experienced party with strong healing.
Location
Stakato Nest sits in the Rune territory, south of Rune Castle Town. The entrance is on the surface, marked by a distinctive anthill-style opening. The dungeon has several depth levels: the upper floors hold level 70-73 mobs, the lower ones 76-80. The nearest teleport is from Rune town. Several other high-level zones lie nearby, so you can rotate farming spots without traveling far.
