Raklion
Raklion (written La Cleon in some official pages) is an icy field opened to characters above level 270 who follow its quests; the community map list ties it to the road to Master Level. Its lord is Selupan, who also shows up among the bosses of the Group Boss Battle event.
- Monsters: Ice Walker, Giant Mammoth, Ice Giant, Coolutin, Iron Knight, Dark Mammoth, Dark Giant, Dark Coolutin, Dark Iron Knight and Selupan.
- The safe zone of Raklion has a Jewel of Pandora mining area for players holding a Pandora Pick.
- Monster parts from Raklion, such as Ice Walker's Mane, were used to craft the eX700 socket weapons (see Socket System & Seed Spheres).
- Golden Invasion: a Golden Iron Knight and a Golden Great Dragon can appear here.
Nixies Lake
Since Season 12 Part 1Nixies Lake came with Season 12 Part 1 in 2017, with new monsters and a stronger boss, Nix. It is entered from Raklion. Its monsters are Paraca, Bass, Vasuki and Nix. The community list gives level 700 to enter or warp; a later official rebalance lowered the monster stats and the entry level from 700 to 630. If you log in again while inside, you are moved to a safe zone.
Vulcanus
Vulcanus is a battle field open from level 30, with a safe area and a normal hunting area, built for player fights. The Season 9 notes mark it as a PvP area on both Red and Blue servers. It also matters for outlaws: a character at PK level 3 can only lower PK points by killing monsters in Vulcanus (see PvP, Outlaws & Duels).
Monsters: Zombie Fighter, Resurgent Gladiator, Butcher Ashes, Blood Assassin, Cruel Blood Assassin, Burning Lava Giant and Outrageous Lava Giant.
Swamp of Peace
The Swamp of Peace is a Master Level area for characters above level 400, made of four islands, with Medusa as its boss. Explorers later found that the western island held statues, a square and an altar, and the southern one a cemetery, yet no people lived there. A portal in its safe zone at (131,117) leads to the much harder Swamp of Destruction.
- Monsters: Sapi-Unus, Sapi-Duo, Sapi Queen, Pawn Shadow, Shadow Knight, Shadow Look, Shadow Master, Napin Thunder, Ghost Napin, Blaze Napin, Napin Ice and Medusa.
- Medusa is also one of the bosses that can spawn in the Group Boss Battle event.
- Its safe zone has a Jewel of Pandora mining area, and a Golden Napin can appear during a Golden Invasion.
Ignis Volcano (elemental hunting ground)
Since Season 18 Part 1Ignis Volcano rises above the underground Vulcanus, and it is where Vulcanus first began to burn. The red dragon Ignis once nested there, next to a shrine where people worshipped it. When the battle site of Vulcanus formed beneath the mountain, its evil influence turned the worshippers against the dragon, and they planned a raid. Heartbroken and furious, Ignis took its own life rather than be hunted; with its master gone the volcano erupted and burned everything. Now that it has calmed, the way is open again, but Gladiators and monsters coated in magma from Vulcanus have overrun it. It opened in phase two of Season 18 Part 1 (August 8, 2023).
| Way in | Entry level | Farming penalty level |
|---|---|---|
| Travel (Move) Command Window: 50,000 Zen | 1,220 | 1,250 |
| On foot: entrance in Vulcanus (33,15) | 1,220 | 1,250 |
- It is an elemental hunting ground: the monsters that appear there carry an element (see the Elemental System).
- The monsters have excellent and critical damage rate resistance, damage absorption and debuff resistance.
- The map has a Safe Zone; if your character dies or the connection drops, you come back there.

Ignis Volcano Elite Zone
Since Season 18 Part 1An Elite Zone Flag stands at the entrance of the Elite Zone inside Ignis Volcano. The Elite monsters there use an Elite Skill and an Elite Debuff option: whenever they damage you, the debuff lands every time (100%) and hurts you. Like bosses, they cannot be affected by things such as Divine Punishment, and a Guardian with the Elite resistance option softens their debuffs.
| Element | Elite Zone coordinates |
|---|---|
| Fire | 171, 40 |
| Water | 30, 135 |
| Earth | 105, 37 |
| Wind | 47, 223 |
| Darkness | 214, 196 |
| Monster | Level | Attack |
|---|---|---|
| Magma Gladiator (Elite) | 650 | Melee |

| Magma Sorcerer (Elite) | 650 | Ranged; drains 200 MP |
| Elite monster element | Debuffs on hit |
|---|---|
| Fire | Bleeding + lower attack |
| Water | Poison + lower attack |
| Earth | Bleeding + lower attack speed |
| Wind | Poison + lower defense |

Besides the normal loot of the map, Elite monsters have drops of their own. A few of them have a weekly cap that resets every week.
| Elite drop | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Elite Option Conversion Fragment | 50 of them form an Elite Option Conversion Stone, which changes a Guardian's Elite option |
| Sealed Armor Fragment | 50 of them craft one Cracked Bloodangel Armor part (random class); with luck it becomes a +13 Bloodangel piece without a Bloodangel Soul |
