Lvl 1 ‐ 10
Green snails

Recommended map(s): Maple island, Henesys hunting ground bottom
Info: easy kills (8 hp for 3 xp), nice meso, I advise to stay on the first map on Maple island, since that
contains only green snails.

Blue snails

Info: Bit more of a challenge then green snails, 15 hp for 4 xp. Green snails are better xp/hit, unless you
1 hit blue snails a lot.

Shrooms

Info: Stronger then a blue snail, 20 hp for 5 xp. You are probably better of with green and blue snails

Red snails

Info: With 45 hp, these little fellows aren't worth your attention. Try to avoid them.

Lvl 10 ‐ 15
Snails (green, blue and red) and shrooms

Recommended map(s): Henesys hunting ground bottom
Info: You can take all sots of snails and the shrooms down very easy now with a Metal axe, crossbow or
warbow.

Slimes

Recommended map(s): Tree that grew, Southern Forest (Forest South of Ellinia, most left tree‐dungeon),
henesys hunting ground
Info: 10 xp each, these green friends can get you to lvl 20 pretty fast. You might even find a 100% cape
dex scroll.


Lvl 15 ‐ 20

Slimes

Recommended map(s): Tree that grew, Southern Forest (Forest South of Ellinia, most left tree‐dungeon),
henesys hunting ground
Info: By now these are very easy kills, but still good xp.

Orange mushrooms

Recommended map(s): Henesys hunting ground, Sunset Sky, Kerning construction sites
Info: a bit stronger then slimes, these mushrooms offer a change from slime‐hunting.

Pigs / Ribbon pigs

Recommended map(s): Hiddenstreet: The pig beach, Rain‐Forest East of Henesys
Info: Piggies everywhere! In both maps pigs spawn pretty fast. They give very nice xp, but look out not to
be overwhelmed. It could cost you quite a few pots for you lvl. Don't go too early here, lvl 18+ at least

Lvl 20 ‐ 30

Pigs / Ribbon pigs

Recommended map(s): Hiddenstreet: The pig beach, Rain‐Forest East of Henesys
Info: Piggies start to be 1 hit kills now. With the fast spawn, it give fast xp. Still not cheap on the pots
though.

Stumps / dark stumps / axe stumps / dark axe stumps

Recommended map(s): Hidden Street: Over the Wall
Info: This hiddenstreet close to perion has a nice collection of stumps. Slow moving, you can take them

down easily from some distance. The (dark) axe stumps have a good defence. This is a good spot to
collect firewoods, brances or leaves you might need.

Bubblings

Recommended map(s): B1, Subway Line 1 Area 1
Info: Better xp/hp ratio then green mushrooms, however they are faster and you might get overrunned.
This is the only place you can find 100% cape int, wich should give you a nice meso‐boost if you find one.

Green mushrooms

Recommended map(s): Henesys Hunting ground, Forest of wisdom, Tree Dungeon, Forest Up North 4,
Dungeon, Southern Forest 2 and 3
Info: These green mushrooms might take a few shots before they stay down, but they can drop some
nice items.Henesys hunting ground has very nice sniping spots to hunt green mushrooms and forest of
wisdom has flat and large platfroms (it might take a while to get used to the teleports on the map). The
tree dungeons have lots of small platforms, so you will probably like the other maps better.

Octopus

Recommended map(s): Construction Site North of Kerning City (top), Damp Forest
Info: Octopus are decent xp, but the main reason you want to hunt them is for the octopus legs you
need for quests. Damp forest has a better spawn of octopus, but there are also jr necki around there,
wich are tough to hit in your low twenties (yes, you miss jr necki before lvl 25, the first and only monster
you will ever see a miss on as an archer).

Ghost stump / Wooden mask

Recommended map(s): Excavation Site 1
Info: Nice xp, might drop a good scroll.

Kerning PQ


Recommended map(s): Kerning city
Info: PQ is available from lvl 21 till lvl 30. Click the image for a pq‐guide. Rewards are random, but could
include some nice scrolls (wich are rare as a reward).

Lvl 30 ‐ 40

Cicle / Cico

Recommended map(s): Hidden Street: Fish Resting Spot
Info: Usually an empty map, it has a good spawn of Cicle and Cico. Practice swimming to shoot while
swimming, wich means you won't get hit often, saving pots.

Boars

Recommended map(s): Land of Wild boar 1 and 2
Info: Good old trusted boars, very nice xp with good spawn. Wild boar 1 is closer to perion and usually
more popupated. It also includes very anoying boogies, who cast curses. Wild boar 2 doesn't have any
boogies and is more empty, wich allows you to either solo there or share it. Sharing is recommended, it
gives a wonderfull spawn.

Horned mushroom / Zombie mushroom

Recommended map(s): Hidden Street: Ant tunnel 1 to 4
Info: Ant tunnel 1 can be crowded, be sure to check out the other maps a bit deeper into the dungeon,
they are usally empty.

Maskfish / Krip


Recommended map(s): The Seaweed Tower
Info: Nice xp and with some practice in swimming you take very little damage.

Fire boars

Recommended map(s): The burnt land 1 or 2
Info: From lvl 35+, these burning boars are a nice replacement for normal boars. Both map 1 and 2 give
good spawn when being shared. The other burning lands (3+) have annoying terrain and include lupins.

Brown teddy's / Pink teddy's

Recommended map(s): Terrace Hall, Sky Terrace 1 and 2, Cloud Terrace 1
Info: Lvl 35+. The maps have a lot of sniper places for archers.

Jr cellions / jr lioners / jr grupins

Recommended map(s): The Road to Garden of 3 Colors, garden of red, garden of yellow, garden of
green
Info: lvl 35+. Sharing the maps can make a nice spawn. The solid horns dropped by all jr kittens can
either be exchanged per 100 for 500 xp + little reward of sold for 100 meso each. Jr grupins are usually
the most crowded because of fire mages and the possible scroll (60% wand att and 60% cape int) and
kumbi drops. Jr cellions drop 60% claw att and jr lioners drop 60% bow att and also kumbi.

Sakura cellion

Recommended map(s): Amoria
Info: Lvl 35+. The same hp/xp as jr grupins/lioners/cellions, but Sakura's don't drop solid horns.
However, they drop much more meso. They also drop 100% cape dex and str.

Jr wraiths


Recommended map(s): B2 (end of shumi 2 jumpquest), Subway Line 1 Area 2
Info: A bit more hp and xp then jr kittens, these are a nice change if jr kittens are to crowded or you
want to hunt something else. Drops 60% dagger scroll.

Lvl 40 ‐ 50
Fire boars

Recommended map(s): The burnt land 1 or 2
Info: sharing the map still gives a good spawn for nice xp.

Brown teddy's / Pink teddy's

Recommended map(s): Terrace Hall, Sky Terrace 1 and 2, Cloud Terrace 1
Info: I hope you like those teddy's, staying here will give you very good xp.

Jr cellions / jr lioners / jr grupins

Recommended map(s): The Road to Garden of 3 Colors, garden of red, garden of yellow, garden of
green
Info: Still nice xp and the horns and possible drops make it a good place to get meso.

Sakura cellion

Recommended map(s): Amoria
Info: The same hp/xp as jr grupins/lioners/cellions, but Sakura's don't drop solid horns. However, they
drop much more meso. They also drop 100% cape dex and str.

Jr wraiths

Recommended map(s): B2 (end of shumi 2 jumpquest), Subway Line 1 Area 2
Info: A bit more hp and xp then jr kittens, these are a nice change if jr kittens are to crowded or you
want to hunt something else. Drops 60% dagger scroll.


Tick / Tick‐tock

Recommended map(s): Crossroad of Time, Whirlpool of Time
Info: Slow moving, these are easy targets.

Chronos

Recommended map(s): The Path of Time 2 and 3
Info: should go down in 2 and later 1 double shot. Has no ranged attack, unlike the other chronos types.
Drops Mystic shield, if you are lucky.

Platoon chronos

Recommended map(s): The Path of Time 1, Lost Time 1
Info: A bit stronger then chronos, platoon chronos also have an unavoidable ranged attack. This means
you take more damage but also that you can be knocked of platforms. However, if you kill them fast
enough, they don't have time for their attack. They drop both Ester shield and 60% glove attack, so if
you find one of those, you surely have your pot meso back.

Star pixies

Recommended map(s): Cloud Park 1 and 2
Info: Pixies attack with a bolt like spell, wich you can evade by running away or jumping over it. The star
pieces can be exchanged or sold.

Retz

Recommended map(s): Helios Tower <99th Floor>
Info: You can bomb both middle platforms from one place. Decent meso and drops, including 60% bow
scroll.


Mateons

Recommended map(s): Off‐Limits, Hidden Street: Mateon Field
Info: Both maps are very flat, making them very archer‐friendly. Mateons don't move fast, but they have
a ranged attack, wich can be avoided (running or jumping). They drop 60% glove attack scroll.

Plateons

Recommended map(s): Hidden Street: Plateon Field
Info: a bit stronger then mateons, plateons move a lot faster. But plateons don't have a ranged attack.
They might be more friendly for your hp‐pots, but the maps aren't as flat as the mateon maps and
include a lot more climbing. They also drop the much wanted 60% glove attack scroll

Barnard Grays

Recommended map(s): Hidden Street: Barnard Field
Info: The map has a lot of sniping spots. Spawns with a chief gray every now and then.

Stone golems

Recommended map(s): The Entrance of Gollem's Temple, Gollem's Temple 1 and 2
Info: Very big, very slow and small numbers. Golems are easy to take down from a distance, because
they move slowly. However, make no mistake, they do hurt very much when you touch them. This
shouldn't happen too often, due to their slow moving speed.


Lupins / Zombies lupins

Recommended map(s): Hidden Street: Monkey Forest 1
Info: lvl 45+. Both lupins only spawn on the lower half of the map, so you don't have to climb that much.
Nice place to collect those 2300 dolls for Rowens quest. The thrown banana's are unavoidable, wich can
make lvling here cost you a quit a few hp‐pots.

Lubridium PQ

Recommended map(s): Eos Tower 101th Floor
Info: Altough you can start pq at lvl 35, people prefer lvl 40+ characters. Very fast xp but getting into
could take some time. Try to play during times when there are not many people online (depends on
your timezone). Rewards are most of the times earrings and blue and white potion, but you might get a
nice scroll.

Lvl 50 ‐ 60

Stone golems

Recommended map(s): The Entrance of Gollem's Temple, Gollem's Temple 1 and 2
Info: Same as before, slow moving, easy targets. Easier to kill by now.

Jr yeti

Recommended map(s): Watch Out for Icy Path 1 and 2
Info: Nice flat lvl, jr yeti should be 2 hits with double shot. Good xp, jr skins for exchange or sale and you
might get lucky with a 60% glove att scroll.


Lunar pixies

Info: Bigger brother of the star pixie. Also has an avoidable ranged attack.

Luster pixies

Info: The strongest of the pixies. Has less weapon defence then lunar pixie. While doable during your 5x,
they are easier to hunt during your 6x. They drop Dark Crystal ore, wich you need for your 3th job
advancement and some quests. The luster pieces are also very valuable, you can either sell them (prices
vary per server) or exchange them yourself and hope you get a 60% cape int scroll.

Hectors

Recommended map(s): Cold Field 1
Info: Spawns together with a few Pangs. Both have ranged attack but both can be avoided. Hectors drop
60% cape dex scroll.

Dark stone golems

Recommended map(s): Sleepy Dungeon 4 or 5
Info: While people call it dark stone golem hunt, you are actually hunting curse eyes most of the times.
Most of your xp will come from curse eyes (wich will be 1 hit kill). Dark stone golems have some nice
drops, including tobi's and evil wings.

Flyeyes

Recommended map(s): The Dangerous Cave
Info: The dangerous cave is deep inside aqua dungeon. You'll need to get past sharks to enter. You can't
use a return to townscroll inside the cave, so you need to leave it first before you can scroll back. That
means you could end up touching a shark or Pianus... wich means dying. It is advised that you take
enough pots with you to do a whole lvl inside the cave, returning to town just after you lvled. This way,
if you die, you won't lose any xp. Tip from Moomoo: change channels when you want to leave, you end
up in a save spot between the sharks, then you can use a return to town scroll.

Mixed gollems

Recommended map(s): Gollem's Temple 4
Info: Spawns together with normal golems. Slow moving, easy target. Has some nice drops, including
Tobi's, 60% glove att and 60% bow att scrolls.

Block golem / King block golem

Recommended map(s): Eos Tower 8th Floor
Info: The map isn't very wide, but if you have (nearly) maxed powerknockback, you can get nice xp here.
It is not hard to find an empty map.

Orbis PQ

Recommended map(s): Orbis: Entrance to Orbis Tower
Info: Orbis pq is available from lvl 51 till 70. People prefer to rush it (only completing a few stages) since
that gives the most xp. Important to know is that if you finish Orbis Party Quest once, you will recieve

less xp next time you do it. So the best thing to do if you want to lvl by rushing it is never to finish the
entire pq (perhaps at lvl 70).

Lvl 60 ‐ 70

Luster pixies

Info: Lusters should go down very nicely now. Nice place to get your dark crystal ores for your job
advancement. And easy to make meso with the meso drops and luster pieces (again: either sell them or
exchange them with a change for 60% cape int).

Hectors


Dark stone golems

Recommended map(s): Sleepy Dungeon 4 or 5
Info: While people call it dark stone golem hunt, you are actually hunting curse eyes most of the times.
Most of your xp will come from curse eyes (wich will be 1 hit kill). Dark stone golems have some nice
drops, including tobi's and evil wings.

Flyeyes

Recommended map(s): The Dangerous Cave
Info: The dangerous cave is deep inside aqua dungeon. You'll need to get past sharks to enter. You can't
use a return to townscroll inside the cave, so you need to leave it first before you can scroll back. That
means you could end up touching a shark or Pianus... wich means dying. It is advised that you take

enough pots with you to do a whole lvl inside the cave, returning to town just after you lvled. This way,
if you die, you won't lose any xp. Tip from Moomoo: change channels when you want to leave, you end
up in a save spot between the sharks, then you can use a return to town scroll.

Mixed gollems / Dark stone golems

Recommended map(s): Forest of Golem
Info: This map has an incredibly good spawn. You need to share the map to get the best spawn. It will
take you a few shots to kill the mix golems at your lvl and with the high spawn you need a lot of pots and
a high lvl power knock back to survive here. However, both golems have excelent drops so it can be very
worth your meso with some nice drops.

Red drakes

Recommended map(s): Hidden Street: Dangerous Valley 2
Info: Red drakes (also known as fire drakes) spawn with both copper drakes and fire boars. The map is
much wanted by ice mages and assassins. Most wanted drop from red drakes is steelies, but they drop
other nice things aswell (int earring scrolls, evil tale). Most easiest way to move around the map is
walking an 8.

Wild cargo

Recommended map(s): Wild Cargo's Area
Info: Nice flat map, although not close to a town. Cargo's spawn with lots of cold eye's, wich should be 1
hits. You are going to hate Pink cone hats (cold eye drop, wich drops often... very often).

Clang / Tortie


Recommended map(s): Hot sands
Info: Clang and tortie are nice xp once you can 1 hit them. The platforms aren't that big, so you might
need power knock back to create some room. Tortie drops 60% cape str.

Coolie zombies

Recommended map(s): Forest of Dead Trees 1 to 4
Info: Zombies, endless hordes of zombies. They are very good xp for a long time. Wich map is the best?
It depends on preference. Some people like map 4 best, other 3 and 2. It is usually crowded here, so
finding a map may take a while, although you can always ask to share a map. One word of advice, you
are most likely here from lvl 70 till 80, so ask youself if you also want to spent even more time here
during your sixties. Some people get very bored here.

Orbis PQ

Recommended map(s): Orbis: Entrance to Orbis Tower
Info: Orbis pq is available from lvl 51 till 70. People prefer to rush it (only completing a few stages) since
that gives the most xp. Important to know is that if you finish Orbis Party Quest once, you will recieve
less xp next time you do it. So the best thing to do if you want to lvl by rushing it is never to finish the
entire pq (perhaps at lvl 70).

Lvl 70 ‐ 80

Coolie zombies

Info: The best xp there is during your seventies. You start 2 hitting them, but when your strafe gets
higher lvl, you start to more and more 1 hitting them. Easy meso making here, zombies drop lots of

meso and you can sell the teeth aswell.

Hectors


White pang

Recommended map(s): Wolf Territory 5
Info: Slighty more hp then zombies, the drops of white pangs are better (including tobi). The map itself
has an intresting spawn, since you can stay on 1 platform and still have a constant spawn, no need to
climb up and down. The only disadvantage is the curve on the platform. Click *here* for a guide on how
to sniper pangs (Guide by A2d).

Jr yeti / Jr yeti (Transformed)

Recommended map(s): Ice Valley I
Info: Nice replacedment for zombies, slightly less xp/hour, but much easier to find a map. You only need
to take care of the 3 bottom platforms, monsters that spawn on the higher ones will jump down. Make
sure you avoid the yeti's pounch, either by running or jumping. Lvl 75+ adviced.

Yeti

Recommended map(s): Icy Cold Field
Info: Yeti's take a few shots to take down. While not the best xp, they have some nice drops. They attack
by pounding on the ground, but you can avoid the damage by jumping at the right time (might take
some practice to get the right timing).



Info: Sharing the map with 2 or 3 other people will get you a crazy spawn. You can either go for a high lvl
strafe here or some people prefer to start with a decent lvl arrow rain/eruption. Exellent place to collect
meso, even with the high pot cost.

Lvl 80 ‐ 90

Coolie zombies

Info: during lvl 80 till 82 you are here before you have enough puppet and rain/eruption to go to other
places. You might want to return here every now and then if you are low on meso, since this (along with
lusters) is a very easy place to gain enough meso to buy pots.


Info: You can still get a decent xp/hour here now. You will want to share with 2 other 3th job characters
to get the best spawn. Also a good place to return when you are low on meso.

Yeti & Pepe


Recommended map(s): Ice Valley 2
Info: While not the best xp around, yeti and pepe are a nice change from zombies.

Dark yeti & Pepe

Recommended map(s): Dangerous Cliff
Info: Big and strong. They might drop a Gross jaeger, wich will make your fellow xbow‐archers very
happy.

Death teddy's

Recommended map(s): Forgotten Path of Time 3
Info: Good xp once you have the right skills (around lvl 80 till 83). Click *here* for a complete guide
about Death teddy hunting (Guide by Keone). Warning: the "miss glitch" has been patched!

Squids / Risell squids

Recommended map(s): Dangerous Sea Gorge 2

Info: Squids have a weak ranged attack, so they are cheap to kill with some practice. Click *here* for a
complete guide on how to kill quids (Guide by Royalcat).

Spirit Vikings

Recommended map(s): Warped Path of Time 4
Info: vikings give good xp. Viking party's give very fast xp, but you need to be lvl 88 before you can join
them. Vikings drop ilbi if you are lucky. Click *here* for a "how to kill Spirit vikings" guide (Guide by
Finalfury). Warning: the "miss glitch" has been patched!

Lvl 90+

Squids / Risell squids

Recommended map(s): Dangerous Sea Gorge 2
Info: Solo‐ing or partying here is one of the few good xp spots for your lvl. Click *here* for a complete
guide on how to kill quids (Guide by Royalcat).

Spirit Vikings

Recommended map(s): Warped Path of Time 4

Info: Solo‐ing or partying here is one of the few good xp spots for your lvl. Click *here* for a "how to kill
Spirit vikings" guide (Guide by Finalfury). Warning: the "miss glitch" has been patched!

Gobies

Recommended map(s): Deep Sea Gorge 2
Info: Probably the fastest xp for lvl 90+. You don't even need a party for it. Gobies also come with
bonefish, which drop the highly wanted fire arund. Click *here* for a ranger guide on how to kill gobies
(guide by GoogleSearch) and Click *here* for a sniper guide on gobies (guide by CrItiCaLSniper).
