Description[edit | edit source]
Bukdek Byway is an explorable area in Kaineng City. It is located to the south of Kaineng Center and the western parts of the imperial palace. It seems to be one of Kaineng's better districts, considering the good buildings along the coast and the safe streets connecting Kaineng Center to The Marketplace and some kind of square that is more-or-less centrally located. However, the architecture gets shabbier as one moves inland, as do the people, as that area is controlled by the Jade Brotherhood.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Vanquishers must defeat 63-210 foes in this area.
- If Chasing Zenmai is active and you have not completed Cleansing Bukdek Byway, it is possible to vanquish the zone very easily. The quest suppresses spawns near the zone portals, causing the initial mob count to be 0. You still need to kill at least 1 foe in order to trigger the vanquish completion.
- The most straightforward way to do this is to follow the quest, spawning 3 ambushers near Zenmai. Kill them to complete the vanquish.
- If you have The Drunken Master active as well, you can simply defeat Drinkmaster Tahnu.
- The quests Eliminate the Jade Brotherhood, Eliminate the Am Fah, and The Afflicted Guard will force the associated mobs to spawn. Abandon these quests if they are active.
- If you have completed Cleansing Bukdek Byway, you can use Memories of Purity to take advantage of the reduced spawns.
- If Chasing Zenmai is active and you have not completed Cleansing Bukdek Byway, it is possible to vanquish the zone very easily. The quest suppresses spawns near the zone portals, causing the initial mob count to be 0. You still need to kill at least 1 foe in order to trigger the vanquish completion.
