You are in your 4th class now, or close to it. ArionRO's eased 150 to 200 curve means the last 40 levels are meaningfully faster than the earlier brackets. These maps are the best endgame grinding spots on the server.
💡ArionRO's 4th-class content -- Mythic instances and other endgame events -- opens once you reach this level range. The EXP you earn from these instances can rival or exceed open-field farming. Check the instance guides to see what is available for your level.
Spot 1: Glast Heim Abyss (Contaminated Monsters)
Map:
Enter via the Glast Heim Abyss dungeon entrance inside the main Glast Heim castle area.
Monsters here:
- Contaminated Raydric (Contaminated Raydric) -- Level 185, Dark element. 49 on this map.
- Contaminated Raydric Ar (Contaminated Raydric Archer) -- Level 184, Dark element. 77 on the map.
- Frozen Gargoyle (Frozen Gargoyle) -- Level 186, Water element. 27 on the map.
- Contaminated Sting (Contaminated Sting) -- Level 180, Earth element. 26 on the map.
- Corrupted Wanderer (Corrupted Wanderer) -- Level 187, Wind element. 33 on the map.
Why it is good: 329 total monsters across a map, all in the 180 to 187 range with 164,000 to 170,000 base EXP each. This is among the highest raw EXP-per-hour spots available at this level.
âš ï¸This map has boss-tier versions (Corrupted Spider Queen and Corrupted Dark Lord) that roam here. They are extremely strong. When a boss-type spawns, move away or party up before engaging.
Class note: 4th-class AoE jobs (Doram, Dragon Knight, etc.) clear large packs. The Dark-element Raydric monsters are weak to Holy, so Arch Bishops and their 4th-class successors do very well.
Spot 2: Mine Dungeon F3 (Einbroch)
Map:
Enter from Einbroch city via the mine dungeon entrance. Go down to floor 3.
Monsters here:
- Poisonous (Poisonous) -- Level 188, Ghost element. 35 on this map.
- Toxious (Toxious) -- Level 188, Poison element. 35 on the map.
- Green Mineral (Green Mineral) -- Level 190, Neutral element. 40 on the map.
- Red Mineral (Red Mineral) -- Level 190, Neutral element. 40 on the map.
- White Mineral (White Mineral) -- Level 190, Neutral element. 40 on the map.
- Purple Mineral (Purple Mineral) -- Level 190, Neutral element. 40 on the map.
- White Porcellio (White Porcellio) -- Level 188, Earth element. 22 on the map.
- Abyssman (Abyssman) -- Level 190, Neutral element. 20 on the map.
Why it is good: 296 monsters at level 188 to 190, giving around 172,000 to 174,000 base EXP each. Good variety of elements -- bring Neutral damage-dealing skills for consistent output across all spawns. The Mineral types are slow and easy to chain.
Class note: Any strong 4th-class job works here. Neutral magic (Comet variants, Dragon Breath) does consistent damage across the mixed Neutral and Ghost spawns.
Spot 3: Nogg Road F3 (Magma Dungeon)
Map:
Enter the Magma Dungeon from the Einbroch field area. Go down to floor 3.
Monsters here:
- Rigid Sky Deleter (Rigid Sky Deleter) -- Level 174, Neutral element. 32 on this map.
- Rigid Earth Deleter (Rigid Earth Deleter) -- Level 173, Neutral element. 32 on the map.
- Rigid Explosion (Rigid Explosion) -- Level 171, Neutral element. 20 on the map.
- Rigid Kaho (Rigid Kaho) -- Level 173, Dark element. 20 on the map.
- Rigid Lava Golem (Rigid Lava Golem) -- Level 177, Neutral element. 18 on the map.
Why it is good: Mostly Neutral element with good EXP around 106,000 to 111,000 base each. Good starter 160-plus spot before you are geared for Glast Heim Abyss or Mine Dungeon F3. Also a good fallback map when the harder spots are crowded.
Spot 4: Magic Power Plant F2 (Tartaros)
Map:
Deep inside the Tartaros facility (Schwarzwald continent). Follow the Tartaros questline and progress through the facility floors.
Monsters here:
- Spell Addicted Plaga (Spell Addicted Plaga) -- Level 192, Poison element. 80 on this map.
- Spell Addicted Sanare (Spell Addicted Sanare) -- Level 194, Holy element. 80 on the map.
- Powerful Spell (Powerful Spell) -- Level 193, Ghost element. 70 on the map.
- Sharp Spell (Sharp Spell) -- Level 193, Ghost element. 70 on the map.
Why it is good: 300 monsters at level 192 to 194 with close to 197,000 base EXP each. The highest consistent open-map EXP in the game on this server for the upper portion of this bracket. The mix of Poison and Ghost makes Neutral and Holy skills the safest choice.
Class note: Any well-geared 4th-class job can farm here in parties. The Ghost-element monsters need Ghost or Holy damage to hit at full value -- plan your elemental setup.
