All Sealed Dungeons with their clear chests: Sealed Dungeons.
Strongholds and hideouts: 6
Exploration quests of the Stronghold kind (the Navigator’s Stronghold content). The client stores no level for them, so they sit in the band where the Navigator opens Strongholds, or, for the faction’s second region, at the cap.

Gear you can wear by level 45
For each armor and accessory slot, the piece with the highest required level of 45 or less, Asmodian or both factions (the gear ladders: required level, then Item Level). Weapons depend on the class.
On the map: cubes, gathering and pets in the story areas
Each spot counts for the nearest area label of the Altgard map, our grouping; the areas are where the band’s story quests are given or handed in. Spots from the map’s spawn lists.
0 cube spots
The client places no Hidden Cube on land of Altgard; the server does, so the map cannot show them.
