This is the second town that the player's character comes to after New Haven. It has the forests to its north, the desert to its south and mountains to its east and west. The teleport pad is in the town's western edge. Players can go to the PvP battle area from a small opening in the north-western area but they cannot come back the same path. They will have to exit to the Tangled forest and come to Shady Vale through The Wooded Forest or use the teleport pad in any of the areas. This blockage is later removed when the player receives the new quest from the guy outside the training hall.
It is home to the rock element training hall and players can get their second badge here. However, the Guardian Master Erin isn't present when the player first reaches the town. The player must proceed to the Western Vale Mountains from here to find her.
Search the mountains west of Shady Vale for Guardian Master Erin. She's supposedly meditating somewhere near the peak. There's a path into the Western Vale Range near the clinic in Shady Vale.
Quest Objectives:
Find someone in the Western Mountains who has seen Master Erin
Battle your way through the Shady Vale Training Hall and defeat the Guardian Master at the end. Doing so will earn you a Rock Badge, giving you the second item you need in order to become a Guardian Master!
