Players often jump between hunting grounds in search of faster growth, but choosing the most efficient spot is a constant dilemma
Many users hit a wall around level 30 while auto-questing in the Orc hunting zones. Some blindly push into higher-level fields, only to lose their recovery chances and waste Nine and Diamonds. While players often send their characters to auto-hunt to reach the required quest level, it is rarely clear which location offers the best efficiency.
We selected hunting grounds accessible to players around level 30 and compared 20 minutes of hunting data to determine the best options. We found that the ideal spot depends not just on the map level, but on weapon affinity and your specific goals.
Finish your growth spurt and get back to quests! Lutein Cemetery Crevice
The 'Rutein Graveyard Rift,' a standard hunting ground rather than a dungeon, has emerged as the most efficient spot. This is thanks to the Silver Sword, a unique weapon available as a reward. All monsters in the Rutein Graveyard Rift are undead, meaning they take additional damage when hit with the Silver Sword. Entering with this weapon significantly boosts your monster elimination speed, allowing you to farm EXP and resources much faster than in higher-level fields.
Furthermore, the regular 'Lutein Cemetery' is a dangerous zone where boss monsters appear, leading to frequent guild wars and PKs. There is a risk of your character dying if you cannot dodge while auto-hunting. The Cemetery Crevice, however, is free from these risks, making it an optimal place for stress-free AFK hunting. The downside is that aside from unidentified armor, leather, and cloth, you shouldn't expect any major loot, but if you want stable growth, it is a great place to use your Silver Sword.
Lutein Cemetery Crevice: Fewer users, easier huntingNo major loot, but high efficiencyEven if you didn't receive the Silver Sword, silver-ornamented items occasionally drop as common items, so keep an eye out
✅ Lutein Cemetery Crevice · Comfortable hunting with the Silver Sword (available as a basic reward) · Low risk as no field bosses appear · No special loot beyond collection equipment and basic materials · Stable hunting possible even with infinite potions · Approx. 16% EXP gain per hour at level 33
For minor loot, head to the Dungeon of Despair
Like the Rutein Graveyard Rift, the 'Dungeon of Despair' features only undead monsters. It is a free, unlimited-time dungeon where the Silver Sword ensures a fast hunting pace. The downside, much like the Rutein Graveyard, is that you shouldn't expect any massive loot drops. However, it occasionally drops Enchant Scrolls (Divine), which can be sold on the market for 160 diamonds. If you're looking for some modest gains, try heading to the Dungeon of Despair instead of the Rutein Graveyard.Dungeon of Despair: Crowded, but surprisingly efficientA great choice for minor loot and offline hunting
✅ Dungeon of Despair · Comfortable hunting with the Silver Sword (available as a basic reward) · Low risk as no bosses appear · No special loot except for Enchant Scrolls (Divine) · Stable survival requires reinforcing equipment to the safe level of +4 · Approx. 16% EXP gain per hour at level 33
For resources over growth, head to Medena Forest and Jungle
Both regions rank low in raw efficiency because they lack Undead affinity, leading to slower hunting speeds and significant EXP loss due to high player density. Why, then, are they so popular? Because these fields drop 'Nine Cores,' items that can be converted into Diamonds. While the drop rate is low, this is the most accessible spot for F2P users to earn Diamonds. Additionally, starting from Medena Forest, the 'Offline Play' and 'Schedule Mode' features are enabled, allowing hunting even when the game is closed. Reports suggest that during off-peak times—such as right after server maintenance—gains can spike to 130k Nine and 36% EXP per hour, making it worth a shot if the timing is right.Medena: More people than monsters Lower efficiency than expectedNine Cores drop starting from Medena Forest, so it is worth sacrificing some EXP for the chance at valuable loot
✅ Medena Forest & Medena Jungle · Nine Cores drop, allowing for Diamond acquisition · Various items drop, helping fill collection elements to spec up · High player density may slow down growth · Stable hunting may be difficult with infinite potions alone · Approx. 3–10% EXP gain per hour at level 33
For both EXP and loot, try the Medena Forest Crevice
This is a mini-dungeon accessible from Medena Forest. Since the schedule feature cannot be used, there are fewer characters, making the environment very pleasant. You can expect about 6% EXP every 20 minutes, or 18% per hour. However, because there are fewer users and the monsters are strong, potion consumption is high. Instead of infinite potions with a 2-second cooldown, you must use regular potions (1-second cooldown) and be fully buffed with food and spellbooks, while tanking the monsters' heavy attacks. In our test with a Lv. 33 Mage, 575 potions were consumed in 20 minutes, resulting in a significant deficit of about 28k Nine per hour. This is not a spot for auto-hunting. Since you will run out of potions in about 20 minutes even at 50% weight capacity, long-term 'AFK hunting' is impossible. Manual play or active monitoring is required until you improve your specs and survivability.High EXP efficiency, but requires significant specs
✅ Medena Forest Crevice · High EXP and the chance to earn Diamonds via Nine Cores · Difficult to survive when drawing aggro from multiple monsters due to low player count · Stable hunting may be difficult with infinite potions alone · Approx. 18% EXP gain per hour at level 33
Livine Fields: A place to build your foundation slowly!
Based on a level 29 Ranger, this spot shows decent efficiency with about 4.56% EXP per 20 minutes, or 13.7% per hour. The difficulty is low, so you can hunt stably using infinite potions without losing HP. Instead of burning through potion costs, you actually accumulate Nine and resources over time. Furthermore, you can expect unidentified common gear, which can be sold on the Market or used for collection equipment to spec up. Leather, a material that trades for around 0.5 Diamonds each, also drops here, making it perfect for fast, stable growth and building your early-game foundation.Low field level allows for stable entry
✅ Livine Fields · Low barrier to entry for a level 25 hunting ground · Leather, unidentified common gear, and Nine can be acquired · Collection equipment can be obtained from unidentified common gear · Stable hunting possible even with infinite potions · Approx. 13% EXP gain per hour at level 29
