Greetings,

I have yet to get any missions taking me to Monster Island and am looking for some new things. Does anyone know how to get missions located there?

Monster Island (Villainside) is a zone full of Monsters and Rikti Monkeys. There are no missions there.

It's just an alternate place to get [Essence of the Earth] inspirations for Hami raids, just like the islands North of Peregrine Island (Heroside). In fact, most (if not all) of the Monster Island zone is an exact copy of those islands north of PI:

Monster Island


Peregrine Island

Any idea if Architect can establish missions there?

If you are talking about AE, then no. I am not aware of any instanced mission maps that use that area, and there is currently no way to program AE mission entrances to take place anywhere but inside the AE building.

It may not happen anymore, but a number of years ago one of the 45+ arcs had one door mission that had a chance to spawn on Monster Island in PI... I've only seen it happen once though and that was 3-4 years ago. I've no idea offhand which arc it was after all this time.

But for all practical purposes Monster Island is just there to farm the GM's for EoE inspirations and Monkey Island is there for the Rikti Monkey badge... I've spent many hours on Monkey Island working on that badge back when it took 10,000 monkeys

Yes, the area north of PI can host mission doors, even a rare Radio mission, but that area is only named Monster Island by the Player Base, so I assumed the OP was referring to the actual Villainside zone.

The areas north of PI are officially named Tempest Quay and Cutlass Isles. In fact, the "neighborhoods" inside the Monster Island Zone are even called the same thing.

LOL, too true!

When I first heard about it, I went there with some friends in search of GMs to slaughter... but all we found were a few extremely large DE and a bunch of annoying monkeys.
