Splitpaw — Navigation Map

One entrance, three camps, and a swim you have to know about

Zone in at: −122, 63
Direction: South → North
Camps: 3
Named plotted: 16
Invisibility: Workson everything
Respawn: ≤22:00

01Reading the map

Splitpaw is one long climb north. You enter at the bottom at Y −122 and the deepest named sits at Y 1445. Everything gets harder as Y rises. Unlike most dungeons in this series there are no separate underground panels — it is a single connected space, which makes it far easier to navigate than its size suggests.

/loc returns Y, X, Z. +Y is north (up). +X is west (left).
Rising Y means deeper. If Y is falling you are heading back to the exit.
Invisibility works on everything in this zone. Nothing here sees through it. This is the single most useful fact on the page.
Dots are surveyed /loc values. The route is schematic — it shows what connects to what, not the shape of the corridors.
Learn two words per gnoll. Rank: Mas < Mal < Val. Class: Tesch warrior, Lteth rogue, Nisch healer, Rosch caster. A Nisch will complete-heal whatever you are fighting.

02The map

The fork matters. One spine runs north from the entrance to the Executioner and on past the Judges. A second branch peels off near the front, heads east, and reaches the Ishva area through an underwater passage — the map's dashed side route. Miss that swim and the deepest camp in the zone is simply unreachable.

03The three camps

Camp	Level	Directions	Why
Double Doors	low–mid 30s	Everything from the entrance up to the Double Doors, plus the rooms directly behind them.	The zone's starter camp. Do not pull the roamer on the bridge — it brings nasty trains.
Executioner & Judges	mid 30s–low 40s	Go invisible. Through the double doors → next room → across the bridge → around the U-shaped room → across another bridge.	Near non-stop pulls from the executioner room, the judges and the Vals on the side. Three named spawn nearby.
The Ishva area	40–50	Past the double doors to the first bridge → drop down → go right → door on your left → in and up the ramp until you see a pond → take the underwater passage.	The deepest camp. 13 mobs inside, plus a second area within swimming distance. Heavy Val density, continuous pulls.

Invisibility works on everything here — it is how you reach the deep camps without fighting the entrance.
Loot every scroll. Turn them in at South Qeynos; the experience stays good into the high 40s. The wiki rates this above the loot as the zone's main benefit.
You can drop from the front bridge to the level below to reach good mobs early. Getting back up is harder.
The safe room is at 1150, −180, just north of Nisch Val Torash Mashk. Stay out of the doorway.

04What will kill you

Threat	Where	What to do
Fleeing gnolls	Everywhere	They have plenty of hit points and run a long way, gathering friends or finding a healer. The wiki calls snare or root required, not optional. Chain-stunning no longer works since 28 July.the main danger
Assist through walls	Everywhere	Gnolls know you are fighting their allies with stone between you. Worst at the small room past the first bridge — two tougher gnolls sit around the corner through a gate. If you hear chains rattling, turn and run.
Nothing walks alone	From the front door	Almost every gnoll is paired. To get inside at all you must handle two level 30-plus gnolls at once.
Nisch anything	Everywhere	Nisch means healer. Nisch Val Torash Mashk complete-heals below a quarter health — interrupt him. Even a Nisch Mas Gnoll near the entrance is called "a warrior with the heals of a cleric."
Prison cells	Map point 6	Step into a cell and the door shuts with the lever out of reach. You are stuck until someone frees you. The main prison hall is safe to pass.
Gaduladian widemouths	The water at 900, 100	Seven of them, non-aggressive but social. Pull one and you have all seven.
Rosch Val L'Vlor	Deep, past the Judges	Watch for the AE rain. If he is carrying the Gnoll Hide Tome you will see him wielding it.
The bridge roamer	Double Doors camp	Do not pull it. The wiki is explicit that it trains the camp.

The counterweight. There are no other unique dangers here, the rare spawns sit in their own side areas away from wanderers, and there is at most one wanderer in any given area — so their routes are learnable. This is a forgiving zone once you respect the fleeing.

05Caveats

The five difficulty bands are described but not located. The 14 July patch says the zone ramps through five bands from 25–28 to 40–42; no source maps them to coordinates. The camp regions shown are the wiki's three, not the patch's five.
Three of the four new named have no recorded position — a Nisch Mas Mender, Ishva Mas Apprentice and a Lteth Val Deviant. They are not plotted.
The Ishva Mal himself is not plotted. The zone map places him deep behind the underwater passage; his own record calls him a South Karana mob that runs east. His placeholder is located, at 719, −450. Camp the placeholder.
Double Doors, the bridges and the pond have no published coordinates and are deliberately not drawn. The route line connects surveyed points only; the directions in §03 carry the rest.
Corridors are schematic. Where this drawing and the game disagree about a passage, the game is right.
