It is the second locale the player has access to, and is characterized by an arid, hot environment.
Monsters such as Barroth and Diablos can be found here.
Description
The Wildspire Waste consists of a vast desert area broken up by a small forest in the west and a marsh in the southeast. It is located east of the Ancient Forest, and borders both on it and Astera. The main landmarks of this locale are the Wildspires, massive anthills constructed by Carrier Ants.[1]The locale is quite flat, with few drastic changes in elevation. Both the small forest and the marsh found in the Wildspire Waste are themselves vestiges of the Ancient Forest, the former being the furthest growths of greenery to originate from the forest, while the latter is formed by the water that originates in the Ancient Tree's water reservoir.[2] In the northeast stands the largest Wildspire, which is home to two species of insects: The Carrier Ants that constructed it, and the parasitic Flashflies which glow at night in order to persuade the ants to feed their larvae.[3] This locale has been compared to an ancient temple in terms of structure and atmosphere.[1]

Notes
- It is theorized that the reason the Wildspire Waste even exists is that in this area, changes in density and thickness within the New World landmass have extended the distance between the surface and the life-giving Everstream below, causing a shortage of Bioenergy which lead to the creation of a desert wasteland.[4]
