Regardless of if you're a PvP grinder or just want a clean layout with good farming access, these are the strongest base spots in 1.1 based on raid defense, cave routes, and farming paths.
West Farbane (Still King)
Near Cursed Forest Cave Exit
Fastest route home from Cursed Forest shard farming
Quick access to Silverlight and Gloomrot too
Hard to beat for PvP players who want to be efficient
"Hogwarts" Cliffside Spot
Great sun trap angles
Narrow, defendable layout
Fun to build with creative traps and visuals
Dunley Farmlands (For the Planners)
Central Double-Choke Plot
Two hearts? Even better
Servant walls and backdoor banshee traps
Strong for quads or serious defenders
Mountain Ridge Plot
Tight and elevated
Easy to hold, tricky for attackers to maneuver
Just watch the bat form angles
West Farbane Canyon
Long, narrow entry path
Forces enemies through every layer of your defense
Still strong in 1.1, even with the new staircase changes
Gloomrot Picks (Still Great)
South Choke Point Plot
Can build from the second choke
Excellent control layout
Nice if you want to be near late-game mats
North Gloomrot Dual Base Spot
One heart for bait, one for the real stash
Mess with attackers and split pressure
Not great for beginners, but satisfying when done right
Silverlight Hills (Slim Options)
Western Single Entrance
Your best bet here if you insist on building in Silverlight
Tight and direct choke
Still risky, but defensible with good trap setups
New Zone (1.1 Area)
Two Confirmed Single-Entrances
*We’ll update this with more information as we figure it out
Not much info yet, but both look promising
Clean chokes and distance from high-traffic zones
Worth claiming early if you're exploring
Final Blurb
If you're looking for safety, power, and a shorter walk with your loot, West Farbane still wins. Gloomrot and Dunley have great niche picks too, especially for creative builders or group play. Just don’t waste your time on wide-open plots unless you really like rebuilding walls.
