**Credits to Kisoke for the guide.**

Also remember to stock up on tonics to regenerate SP.

Please do note that you may find monsters with a **red name**. It means that your current level is 5 or more levels lower than the monster's. Fighting these monsters will most likely be difficult or in some cases, impossible.

* At level 1-10, you can hunt monsters at 1 or 2 maps away from Uptown. For example, you can hunt at:
	+ The four Acronia Plains.
	+ East: Acronia Forest.
	+ West: Killer Bee Hill, Fruit Forest.
	+ North: Snov Mountain Road.
	+ South: Lake Utena, Lake Utena Estuary.
* At level 10-30, you can hunt at:
	+ East: Fareast Main Street, East Cape, **Momo Plains.**
	+ West: Mothgue Cliff, **Battleship Island.**
	+ North: Snov Fork, Cape Northerin.
	+ South: Staff Desert, Cape Southerin.

	+ West: Dead Mine (the dungeon at Battleship Island).
	+ North: North Plateau, North Mountain, Eternal North Boundary.
* At level 50-70, you can hunt at Light Tower (currently unavailable).

## Status Recommendations

* It is recommended to increase your DEX to 20 before increasing STR. Because no matter how high your STR is, without sufficient DEX, your attack will miss most of the time.
* After 20 DEX, increase STR. Adjust your DEX accordingly, when you feel that your attacks miss too much, increase DEX.
* At level 70 you should have at least 30-40 DEX, you may add more if you feel that your attacks miss too much.
* Since your main focus should be damage, you may increase your AGI and VIT, but these stats should be less prioritized than STR and DEX.
* Depending on your playstyle you may have to adjust your status distribution. If your focus on skills, you will not need that much AGI. If your focus on basic attacks, you will need AGI.
