Well we have been blessed with a new wave of fresh meat... I mean players, and Talia has reminded me that some of them might not be aware of some of the rules on Sylvan - which is understandable hence why I am posting this. Also, some of the older ones might have forgotten so here's something to jog the old memory.
One of the great features is the custom quests and tamables/spawns on Sylvan, however these are not meant to be public knowledge. It's not fair for the people who spend hours and hours figuring out stuff and then a new player finds the druid staff in the first few minutes of their time in Sylvan. There is a great post in the shard basics section outlining this:

And as a last note, it pays to check the Shard Basics area for rules and information and also the Announcements section since theres some useful info such as Donation Thank-you items and Human Ash/Souls.
Have fun and enjoy :)
