Map Database — Where to Level
Per-level grind recommendations, monster elements, and route tips for launch servers.
Last updated: September 3, 2026
After the OBT feedback round, ROZ Global rebalanced several monster HP pools and elemental weaknesses. Use the table below as a starting point — confirm in-game tips before committing to overnight Auto-Hunt loops.
Because the legacy level-penalty was removed, comfortable maps remain viable for relaxed grinding. Use that rule to survive the Job 50 grind before 2nd Jobs land on September 3.
Routes below assume the same shared-EXP radius as party content (31×31 cells around the leader). Solo players can ignore the radius but should still party once during peak hours for safety.
| Level Range | Map | Monsters | Element | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–10 | South Prontera / South Morroc | Fabre, Poring, Lunatic, Willow | Earth / Wind | Stock potions and Fly Wings before leaving safe zones. Finish starter quests first. |
| 10–18 | Payon Forest (pay_fild01) | Willow, Spore, Bigfoot | Earth / Fire | Classic beginner grind. Boards give bonus EXP while story is gated. |
| 18–25 | Muka Field (moc_fild01) | Muka, Peco Peco Egg | Earth | Sturdy HP — practice melee discipline here before zoning up. |
| 20–30 | Creamy / Bigfoot (gef_fild05 / pay_fild07) | Creamy, Bigfoot, Horn | Wind / Earth | After the Level 20 quest wall, mix boards with these farms. |
| 21–30 | Flora Farms | Flora (stationary) | Earth | Mage Fireball / ranged kits thrive. Safer Auto-Hunt candidate once manually cleared. |
| 25–35 | Glast Heim Outskirts | Wraith, Evil Druid, Marionette | Undead / Shadow | Bring Holy scrolls or a Priest — long-term card farming location. |
| 30–40 | Orc Village, Coco, Ant Hell | Orc Warrior, Coco, Ant, Andre | Earth | Ant Hell rewards parties. Scout HP before Auto-Hunt — ROZ mobs hit harder than classic memory. |
| 35–45 | Payon Cave F2 (pay_dun01) | Soldier Skeleton, Drainliar | Undead | Skeleton warriors drop Zeny and bones. Holy weapon speeds up runs. |
| 40–50 | Thara Frog / Sphinx | Thara Frog, Anubis, Isis | Earth / Shadow | Push Job EXP here. Wait on the level 50 gate ahead of 2nd Jobs. |
| 45–55 | Nordfeld Fields | Nordfeld regionals, elites | Mixed | Unlock after main quest chapter unlock. Two fields with regional dailies and material drops. |
| 50+ | PvE Raids / Hverdyll Fields | Race-event monsters | Mixed | Post-2nd-Job content. Classes with strong AoE turn this into an EXP highway. |
- When in doubt, stay on a map where you already cleared auto-hunt ranges — ROZ removed the classic old-map XP penalty.
- Watch element matchups — a Fire Wand against Earth targets is the cheapest damage boost in the game.
- Maps marked Undead pair with Holy damage and Priest buffs; check monsters' element via the UI tooltip.
- Reserve 1–2 free inventory rows for material drops from the same map (Nordfeld mats, Frog bladders, etc.).
