Skill in using the secret powers of the Wardens.

Warden Overview

Warden is a combat skill exclusive to Beast Forms, relying heavily on electricity damage, although some Warden abilities use or can be modified to apply fire damage.

In-Game Description

Skill in using the secret powers of the Wardens.

Training Warden

To learn the Warden skill you must have [Friends] or higher favor with Suspicious Cow in Eltibule, Red in Kur, or Norbert in Animal Town in Sun Vale. Speak with one of those NPCs with whom you have sufficient favor, and complete a series of quests to become a Warden: The Sacred Grotto Password, The External Resource Coordinator, The Warden Test, and Return to the Sacred Grotto. After completing these quests and speaking with Milton, the player must select the option in Milton's talk menu: "I am up to speed", in order to become a warden.
Barnaby in the Sacred Grotto can uncap levels 51-60, and 61-70.
Backfat in the Fae Realm can uncap levels 71-80.
Levels 81-90 are unlocked by Big Footed Jim deep beneath Povus.
Levels 91-100 are unlocked by Skitters at Statehelm.
Prodigy levels are unlocked by Skitters at Statehelm.

Warden Mechanics

Warden Alerts

Warden members learn a Lore recipe called Check Active Warden Alerts. This recipe will show which NPC is offering a Warden Alert Quest at the moment of its casting. Warden Alert Quests usually require the killing of 12-15 specific creatures in the same zone as the NPC that offered the quest. Most of the Warden Alert Quests award Warden points, quest-giver favor, and also Vervadium in higher level zones. Each Warden Alert is active for a full day, so you can do them whenever you want, and there is no forced start time, unlike Druid Events.

Warden points can be used to purchase skill upgrades in the Sacred Grotto, as well as a number of useful animal-related items from Milton.

Warden Alerts do not penalize you for declining to participate in them, but a Warden must complete at least one Warden Alert per Moon Cycle or their Warden abilities will deactivate and require a ritual to reactivate. (Note: This is the planned eventual behavior. At present, Warden abilities deactivation does not occur regardless of Warden Alert participation, and there is no 'reactivation' quest implemented yet. However, you may still wish to complete Warden Alerts in order to earn Warden points, favor, and other rewards.)
