[[The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert (Dehydrated)|The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert]] is located in the [[Desert Beach]].  It is unlocked after obtaining (and reading) [[Your father's MacGuffin diary]] (see the [[Quest for the Holy MacGuffin]]).

This version of the desert appeared when you were not [[Ultrahydrated]]. With the effect you reached [[The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert (Ultrahydrated)]] instead.

This zone was heavily revamped on October 29, 2013. Lots of noncombats were retired, new zone numbers, and more. This page is meant as an archive. See [[The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert]] to see the current version.
