Golden Pig Cave

1. Introduction

The Golden Pig Cave is a new unique grind spot area that's located in the Land of the Morning Light
  • This grind spot isn't available at all times, instead it's only available at set times much like field bosses
  • The Golden Pig Cave doesn't function like a normal grind spot, instead you'll fight groups of enemies
  • After defeating enemies you'll also have to fight the final boss, the Golden Pig King for rare treasures
  • Rare Treasures are like an RNG jackpot, players stack rare treasures then one person is chosen to claim them

 

2. Entering the Golden Pig Cave



As previously mentioned the Golden Pig Cave is over on the island of the Land of the Morning Light, you'll need to head over there by boat or by magnus transportation.

The Golden Pig Cave is actually an end game spot, with high gear score requirements and you'll need to speak to an NPC to find your way inside. 


The recommended for this spot is AP: 340 so it's definitely an end game spot, there's also some additional total suggestions as well.

There's a recommended AP (Total Stat) of 1150+ and a recommended DR (Total Stat) of 660+. 

The Golden Pig Cave opens only at certain times, just like field boss spawns, check the top of our page for timers!

 

 

When it spawns you can head over to NPC Munsik in order to enter the Golden Pig Cave grind spot location, you can see the minimap above for a clearer location. 

 

If you're logged in when the Golden Pig Cave spawns you'll receive a notfication similar to when a boss spawns so don't worry about missing your chance to see the cave opening. 

 

3. Grinding in the Golden Pig Cave

 

Inside the cave is described as having fewer more powerful monsters and importantly there's no use of Agris Fever while inside the Golden Pig Cave. 

 

Inside the cave you'll be defeating monsters in a private zone similar to a private marni monster zone, you can either defeat enough Golden Pigs or wait for a while before the Golden Pig King boss spawns. 

 

 

Defeat the Golden Pig King to end the subjugation and earn a "Golden Pigs Subjugation Token" for each subjugation.


You can collect your tokens from NPC Munsik after someone claims the "Rare Treasures" and the cave closes. You can then exchange your tokens in the manage currency UI. 

 

 

Here's some important things to know about the Golden Pig Cave grinding spot: 

 

  • Monsters here are immune to harmful effects.            
  • Once inside, you'll be alone; other adventurers disappear.            
  • You can stay for up to 30 minutes.
  • You cannot enter on Conquest War/Node War/Arsha servers.
  • If your character dies, you will be kicked out of the Golden Pig Cave. 
  • You cannot enter if your Karma is below 0.
  • Cooldown applies for re-entry after subjugation.    

 

4. Golden Pig Cave Rewards

The Golden Pig Cave acts as a regular grind spot and does offer trash loot that's pretty well priced at 59k an item, unsurprisingly for it's gear requirements, The Golden Pig Cave brings in a lot of silver per hour.

 


Here's the main loot obtainable from defeating monsters in the Golden Pig Cave:

 

  • Faint Origin of Dark Hunger
  • WON/BON Dawn Crystal - Evasion/Damage Reduction/Accuracy/Black Spirit's Rage/All AP
  • Caphras Stone
  • Ancient Spirit Dust
  • Shattered Treasures (59,415 Silver)

When you defeat the Golden Pig King you're given a Golden Pig King's Treasure Chest which contains the following: 

 

 

The accessories can be TRI or TET enhanced, making them a huge potential boost in silver per hour and a great way to get more Essence of Dawn if you need it. 

 

In the Golden Pig Cave, you can obtain Rare Treasures in addition to monster loot and Golden Pigs Subjugation Tokens.

 


Only one adventurer can claim Rare Treasures while the cave is open across all servers and once someone claims it the cave will close. The owner of Rare Treasures can obtain special rewards from NPC Munsik.




The adventurer who obtains the Rare Treasures can acquire the following items from the Golden Pig Statue.

Essence of Dawn x100
 
Rare Treasure Chest (Obtain a specific TET accessory)
 
Extra Junk Loot and Gold Bars

 

Here's a look at what the Rare Treasure Chest can contain, the accessories inside are TET enhanced: 

Some more things to keep in mind while grinding in the Golden Pig Cave:

 

  • If your character dies during subjugation in the cave, you'll be kicked out and lose the completion reward.
  • Upon exiting the cave—voluntarily or forcibly—a re-entry cooldown applies similar to Marni's Realm.
  • If you stay too long in the cave, you'll be forcibly removed and forfeit the completion reward.
  • If you don't claim the Golden Pig Cave subjugation completion reward before the next cave opens, it will disappear.
