Leveling Route

Where to hunt at each level tier, depending on what you want: XP, equipment, zeny or the boss. Map callings, every card in the game with where it comes from, and what race, size and element do to your damage.

Map callings

Every hunting map picked a side. The calling trades one kind of gain for another — no map is good at everything.

Calling	XP	Equipment	Zeny	Card	What for
Hunting Field	4×	0.35×	0.5×	1×	Level up as fast as possible
Lair	0.7×	1.65×	0.65×	1.5×	Hunt equipment and cards
Mines	0.75×	0.65×	1.6×	0.8×	Make money
Sanctuary	0.9×	1×	0.8×	1×	Where the boss lives — Legendary and Mythic
Neutral Ground	1×	1×	1×	1×	No choice to make: standard yield

The trade is real. The Hunting Field is not “the good map”: it pays lots of XP while charging equipment and cards. The Lair is the opposite. The Mines pay zeny. The Sanctuary yields less in volume because what it pays is the boss. Each map’s exact numbers are on its page, under Maps.

The route, tier by tier

Maps are grouped into 12 tiers. Stay in your level’s tier: monsters far below cut your XP, and far above kill your party. For each tier, the best map of each calling — measured by yield per damage, which accounts for tankier monsters:

Tier	Levels	Most XP	Most equipment	Most zeny	Boss (MVP)

How to use the route. Reached a new tier? Start at the Hunting Field until you hit its cap. Need gear to survive the next one? Lair. Need zeny for refining and potions? Mines. And the boss map when you want the best loot — fighting it is where Legendary and Mythic come from while hunting. When more damage stops turning into gains, see the cap in Away Farming.

Every card in the game

There are 118 cards. A card only drops from its owner: each one has a monster (or an arena boss, or a lair), and only exists where it is. Farming a map that “drops lots of cards” is useless — it has to be that card’s map. Each card’s effects are on its page.

Race, size and element

Every monster has three tags, and all three change your damage. Here is how much of each you meet on hunting maps (by spawn share):

Race	Share of what you meet
Formless	22%
Brute	19.2%
Insect	15.6%
Demi-Human	15.5%
Demon	10.8%
Undead	8.2%
Fish	5.1%
Dragon	3.3%
Plant	0.4%

Size	Share of what you meet
Medium	62.6%
Small	24.3%
Large	13.1%

Cards and gear with “Damage vs [race]” or “Damage vs [size]” only work against that target. Check the map’s main race before slotting.

Elements: what to use against what

Each row is YOUR attack element; each column, the monster’s element. Green hurts more, red hurts less.

	Neutral	Fire	Water	Wind	Earth	Holy	Shadow	Poison	Undead	Ghost
Neutral	·	·	·	·	·	·	·	·	·	0.25
Fire	·	0.25	0.5	·	1.5	·	·	·	1.25	·
Water	·	1.75	0.25	·	·	·	·	·	·	·
Wind	·	·	1.75	0.25	0.5	·	·	·	·	·
Earth	·	0.5	·	1.75	0.25	·	·	·	·	·
Holy	·	·	·	·	·	0.25	1.75	·	1.75	·

Poison	·	·	·	·	·	·	0.5	0.25	0.25	0.5

Monster elements in the world

Monster element	Share of what you meet	Best attack against it
Earth	22.4%	Fire 1.5×
Neutral	15.2%	no bonus — use Neutral
Wind	12.9%	Earth 1.75×
Water	10.2%	Wind 1.75×
Fire	9.2%	Water 1.75×
Poison	8.7%	no bonus — use Neutral
Undead	8.3%	Holy 1.75×
Shadow	7.8%	Holy 1.75×
Ghost	4.6%	no bonus — use Neutral
Holy	0.7%	Shadow 1.75×

What if I must pick ONE element?

Your element	Average damage against the whole world
Holy	1.115×
Fire	1.013×
Water	0.993×
Neutral	0.965×
Earth	0.883×
Wind	0.867×
Shadow	0.862×
Poison	0.811×

The rule of thumb. The best single element is Holy: 1.115× on average, against 0.965× with no element — a small edge next to what is at stake: the right element for the map does up to 1.75× and the wrong one, 0.25×. Switch per map; each map’s page lists its monsters’ elements.

Bosses are a separate case. The boss often has a different element from the rest of the map. Check ITS element (on the monster page) before the long single-target fight.

What to build for each kind of farm

No build wins at everything, just as no map wins at everything.

Hunting Field

Clear the screen

XP comes per kill: attack rate beats damage per hit. Prioritize attack speed, area damage and just enough survivability not to stop. Skip damage vs bosses — there is no boss here.

Lair

Hunt gear and cards

Drops are per kill too, so you also want to kill fast. More bag space helps. The map’s specific card only drops from its owner.

Mines

Make money

Zeny per kill, junk that turns into zeny and materials sold to the Merchant. Kill volume and away time are everything; sell materials before the bag fills up.

Sanctuary

Take down the boss

The opposite of everything above: a long fight against a single target. Damage vs bosses, damage per hit, DEF piercing, real survivability — and the right element, which changes the outcome the most.

Stuck? The answer is almost always to switch callings, not builds. No XP? Hunting Field. Dying? Lair for gear. No zeny for potions? Mines.
