The Hunting Grounds of Valencia

Last Edited on : May 31, 2019, 15:54 (UTC+3)

Congratulations on reaching level 56!

You may feel as if you’re ready to take on the world now that you’ve awakened your character. If you’re looking for challenge, then look no further.

The hunting grounds of Valencia is full of challenges (and surprises).

 

One’s level, equipment, and skill will determine the difficulty of the hunting grounds. It’s a good idea to prepare plenty of meals, potions, elixirs, and Elion’s Tear before you start your journey.

 

You’ll encounter a special monster known as the Chief Gatekeeper when you hunt in Valencia. These special monsters will appear in 4 hunting grounds of Valencia.

If you think the Chief Gatekeeper is just a regular monster, think again. It is near to impossible to defeat the Chief Gatekeeper on your own.

The Chief Gatekeeper is on a whole new level, so make sure to bring a party if you choose to fight the Chief Gatekeeper.

 

In addition to the Chief Gatekeeper, an elite type Commander monster will also appear in the hunting grounds.

These elite type Commander monsters in Valencia are far more powerful than the elite monsters you have previously encountered.

 

There is a risk of getting lost if the hunting ground is part of the desert. As you may already know, the navigation function cannot be used in the desert.

It’s also a good idea to bring some Purified Water and Star Anise Tea. The Purified Water is used to cure heatstroke while the Star Anise Tea is used to cure hypothermia.

 

It is possible to hunt on your own in Valencia, but we recommend that you assemble a hunting party to farm more efficiently.

 

 

Bashim Base (Lvl 55~56)

The large stretch of land here is the home of the Bashim, the ancient demibeast tribe of Valencia.

The Bashims are proud of their rich culture and speak an indigenous language. Because the Bashims are reclusive and hostile, adventurers avoid contact with this ancient tribe.
