NOTE1: Job Instructor Special Hat Quest

This quest is only available for GMS (Global MapleStory) players. You will need to be at least level 18 and under level 40 to complete this quest! Talk to your respective Job Instructor. Below is a list of classes with their respective job instructors with location.
Job/Class – Job Instructor (Location) – Hat Rewarded
Warrior – Dances with Balorg (Perion) – Andras Hat
Bowman – Athena Pierce (Bowman Instructional School) – Amdusias Hat
Magician – Grendel the Really Old (Magic Library) – Marbas Hat
Thief – Dark Lord (Thieves’ Hideout) – Valefor Hat
Pirate – Kyrin (Kyrin’s Training Room, Navigation Room) – Crocell Hat

NOTE2: Entering Stronghold

There are 3 ways to enter stronghold, either completing Stronghold Quest at Level 165 or Empress Quest at Level 170 or ask a high level Bishop to open a path from nearby town to the map via Mystic Door. Only then you will be able to enter that map! The monsters there are very powerful, can kill most warriors in 3 hits since those mobs are practically mini bosses who are immune to skill effects such as Seal, Stun and Freeze. If you try to enter by yourself via Future Ereve without completing quest or Mystic Door, you will be greeted by a message “Security is too tight” preventing you from accessing the map.

Party Quests Training

Party Quests (PQ in short) is another method of leveling up where 2 or more players cooperate to complete a quest. This alternative is much more fun compared to grinding endless hours on the same monster since completing each party quest stage will reward you with a sum of experience and drops which could be either potions, equipment (weapon / armor) or valuable ore (jewel / mineral). Access to any one of these party quest map through Dimensional Mirror aka Multi-Functional Portal. This portal is located in every city and it has a purple door frame topped with a crystal golden crown. Each party quests have its own specific level restrictions and requires 2 or more party members to complete the quest.

Ludibrium Party Quest – Dimensional Crack

The objective of this Ludibrium PQ is to fix up the dimensional cracks and save Ludibrium from approaching danger. Visit Ludibrium: EOS Tower 101st Floor or enter map via Dimensional Mirror Portal amd talk to Red Sign after assembling your crew. Alishar will be the boss who you will face. It can seal skills (prevent you from activating skills) and inflict darkness (reduces party member’s accuracy). Therefore, stock up on All-Cure Potions to counter this effect. Having a Cleric in your party will be an advantage so they can provide healing support while the attackers can focus on attacking.

Level Requirement: 20-69
Party Members: 3-6
Time Limit: 20 minutes.
Stages: 5 Stages + 1 Boss Stage
Rewards: ??? EXP + 33 Willpower + 20 Insight + Broken Glass (Talk to Red Sign upon completing this PQ 35 times to obtain it)

Magatia Party Quest – Romeo and Juliet PQ

The goal of this party quest is to rescue Romeo or Juliet. Therefore there are 2 versions of this quest where Juliet version is located in “Magatia: Alcadno Society” lab and Romeo version is located in “Magatia: Zenumist Society” lab. If you go for Juliet version, your objective will be to protect Romeo from Frankenoid (the boss) and vice versa. After defeating the boss in either version, the couple reappears united in the boss room. To start this party quest, assemble your party members and head to either Zenumist or Alcadno Society in Magatia. Enter a hidden door and have the party leader talk to either Juliet or Romeo respectively.

Level Requirement: 71-85
Party Members: 4 (1 Mage Max Teleport + 1 Thief Max Haste or 120% Jump)
Time Limit: 45 minutes.
Stages: 6 Stages + 1 Boss Stage
Rewards: 100K EXP + Random Scroll + Stone of Alcado OR Zenumist.

Monster Park Dungeon Notes

1. You can enter dungeon solo or a party of max 6 players (all must have tickets)
2. Kill all monsters in the area to unlock next stage.
3. For every kill, there will be +50% Party EXP per party member.
4. Monsters residing in dungeons above level 55 are auto-aggressive (attack players)
5. All monsters have a chance to drop Monster Park Commemorative Coins, Equipment with 100% Hidden Potential. Spiegelmann’s Herb Pouch and Spiegelmann’s Mineral Pouch.
6. When 1 party member loots a coin, every party member receives the same amount. Therefore, there is no need to rush for the coins.

Monster Park Quests

Talk to NPC Spiegelmann to obtain 2 quests, both are repeatable everyday.
Quest 1 : Clear a dungeon of your level.
Quest 2 : Collect an Old Envelope dropped by the monster inside the dungeons.

Monster Park Exchange Coins for Rewards

Each Spiegelmann quests rewards 5 Monster Park Commemorative Coins upon completion. The envelope can be collected more than once from monsters and later traded for a sum of coins depending on the photo contained within it. The pictures show that Speigalmann built Zakum (10 coins), Horntail was his pet (20 coins), and Van leon was his friend (30 coins)

Talk to Laku (NPC Merchant) to trade coins for special time-limited equipment. Even though the items have an expiry date, they can increase personality trait EXP and Charm (fastest way to get Level 30 Charm) without purchasing any Cash Shop items. Laku also sells potions, so you can stockpile your potions in Monster Park before entering the dungeon.

EXP Related FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions regarding bonus EXP multiplier!

What EXP (experience boosting) items that stack?
2x EXP Cash Shop Card
2x EXP Event (Hot Time)
1.8x EXP Welcome Back Ring
1.5x EXP Legends Never Give Up! buff OR 1.3x EXP Coin Shop buff
1.5x EXP Holy Symbol
1.3x EXP Spirit of Pendant OR Crusader Zeal Ring

How to calculate EXP Stack Multiplier?
2X EXP Event (Hot Time) –> 2 x 1 = 2
2X EXP Card Type 3 –> 2 x 2 = 4
1.5X EXP Legends Never Give Up! –> 4 x 1.5 = 6
1.5X EXP coupon (Stacks with 2X EXP Card) –> 6 x 1.5 = 9
1.3X Legends EXP Coupon (Does not stack with 1.5X Legend Never Give Up)
Final: 9X EXP
Assuming you are training on Scarecrows, each giving 220 EXP per kill, 220 EXP multiplied by 9 EXP Rate results in 1980 total EXP per kill! In other words, you are basically leveling 9 times faster than your usual training without EXP boost.

If apply EXP Boosting Skills:
1.5X Holy Symbol (Magician – Priest Skill) –> 9 x 1.5 = 13.5 (Assuming party in 2 or more)
1.1X Mercedes Link Skill –> 13.5X x 1.1 = 14.85

    Hi Ayumi,
    There is no haunted mansion for MapleSEA

  3. LuiggiCC on said:

    Hey ayumi, guess you must delete some things.

    Trucker no longer recommendable spot to level due to nerfed.
    Cds got highly nerfed too.

    30-40 Cherry Bubble tea is a really good spot (Kerning City Shopping Center)

  4. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi LuiggiCC, you can train on Mean Mama Monkey at Golden Temple: Forest of Training 4, White Baby Monkey at Mini Dungeon: Monkey Temple 3, Stone Goblin at Golden Temple: Ascetic Room 1, Blue Dragon Turtle at Leafre: Entrance to Dragon Forest, Overlord A at Neo City: Midnight Harbor Entrance, Canterbear at Fantasy Theme Park: Funny Station , Lycanthrope at El Nath: Wolves’ Territory 2 or 3.

    Hi Ayumi, All my chars are 120-130, and i want to know good spots for lvling solo or with duo party. Wich u recommend me? (non alien or lhc)

  6. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi KannaKarma, there is less undead monsters for priest to kill, unless you want to train on dark monsters or those that has bones (skelegon/shark-skeleton). But instead of doing that, go for the common training spots, they earn much more exp than training on monsters that are weak against your element.

  7. S5Duh &S1Phantom =) on said:

    Ayumi, the LHC mob are all nerfed in MapleSEA.. exp gain is very low.. MapleSEA always give ppl trouble

  8. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi S5Duh &S1Phantom, its basically the same as shown above. If you wish to train till 170 fast, leech exp from higher level people starting from level 110-150 at Lion’s Heart Castle at the Big Bear Wolf. You will need to have someone to teleport you there or you purchase the Cash Item (Hyper Teleport Crystal) otherwise, do the pre-requisite quest to unlock those maps to get to the BearWolf. Also, get some 4x EXP cards and exp equipments. I had my Phantom leech exp from 110 to 150 with exp cards in less than 1 week just to test how fast is leeching lol. Oh yeah, steal Holy Symbol from Priest/Bishop if you meet them and buff your party with that skill :)

  9. S5Duh &S1Phantom =) on said:

    Can u cr8 a new guide for MapleSEA ?? As i now lv 140.. how to train till 170 fast i wan my Phantom get Rose Finale Carte

  10. Kanna Karma on said:

    oh ya if am a priest where should i train should i kill undead

  11. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Kanna Karma, probably they have nerfed the EXP provided by the Mushroom Castle Bosses Yeti Pepe. Another option would be eliminating those pepes wandering within Mushroom Castle area.

  12. Kanna Karma on said:

    how can i train in the mushroom castle bosses if they dont have xp?

  13. ht on said:

    hey im lv 102 already i went to do the mayor quest but it was a lv 50 quest..i finished it but there isn’t a lv 90 quest for me to do..so how do i get to the alien corridor? is the quest removed?

  14. Speed on said:

  15. hjx on said:

  16. Andrew on said:

    Hi, monster park has been revamped, now only level 60+ are able to enter them :)

  17. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Aisha Ishtar, what do you mean by Lion King’s Castle much easier?

  18. Aisha Ishtar on said:

    I think you need to upgrade this guide a bit… Because the Lion King’s Castle is much MUCH easier when it comes to the Crocs or even Reindeers. :P Just saying. Bust it’s still good nonetheless. :D

  19. Anonymous on said:

    Well, i was going to Orbit, but i’ve founded the Sky Ferry. :) Thanks anyway! ( Also, you’re awesome. )

    How can i take a boat on Ellinia
    I really need help. :(

  22. Victor on said:

    This guide is amazing; thank you. You can start Crocks at 110 though, but seriously awesome. It looks like you put a lot of time into this and for that you are high on my beast list! #startedABtoday

  23. lim on said:

    oh,thanks for your information :)

  24. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Lim, For me, I start training my Phantom at LHC (Lion Heart Castle) around Level 110+. Make sure you steal lots of attacking supportive skills to boost up your weapon attack. These guys are like mini bosses that takes quite a while to defeat.

  25. lim on said:

    Ayumilove err…i phantom already lvl 116.Where should i training?

  26. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks UnlimitFire for your input on MapleSEA’s +12 stats quest. The hat itself is way overpowered in stat compared to the rest of the normal job hats (until level 120) unless they have Zakum Helm / Targa-Scalion Helm.

  27. UnlimitFire on said:

    Maplesea used to have that +12 stats quest because of some reason maplesea removed it

  28. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Yvesowns, I guess MapleSEA did not implement that quest. However, I have tested that GMS has the quest.

  29. Yvesowns on said:

    there ain’t any related quest to the + 12 int hats … :( The first quest Grendel gave me was finding rowen the fairy, not some “Beginner Magician’s First Training Session” …. btw im from maplesea v1.27

  30. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi anymonyousasd, The first map you investigated where you had to sabotage alien equipment, there is a door. The door is a portal to the Corridors, but it doesn’t have a portal animation. Just walk in front of the door and press Up.

    You need to be Level 90 and complete NLC Mayor Quest first to enter.

  31. anymonyousasd on said:

    how to go to alien bases ? i cannt find the portal at NLC .

  32. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Yvesowns, if you are magician, you need to pay a visit Grendel the Old (Magician Job Instructor) at Ellinia so he will give you the quest and upon completion, he will reward you with a special hat +12 INT. This same applies with other jobs. If you are a Thief, then you need to visit Dark Lord (Thief Job Instructor) at Kerning City for their quest.

  33. Yvesowns on said:

    i cant really the the
    “10-18 : Blue Ribbon Pig (Nautilus) and Get main +12 stat item

    18-39 : Complete Job Instructor Quest to obtain a special hat! See NOTE1* ”

    i just couldnt get the hat.. :( i’ve done the nautilus quest but i got something useless …
    btw im a mage. Where is note 1 , can u leave the link here as reference?

  34. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi DeSnowy, I have added monster park guide. Also I have added more training grounds from Level 10-200.

  35. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi DeSnowy, on what level do you train at Monster Park?

  36. DeSnowy on said:

    could include monster park :/ It’s great if u have a party of at least 3 and hs.

  37. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Lavelle, if you are playing in MapleSEA (South East Asia which includes Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand) as of 2013, the Haunted Mansion is only opened on Halloween Day 31st of October.

  38. Lavelle on said:

    Hey, I cant get into the haunted house with my level 77 aran level 70 eq :/ … “Theres a dark force stopping you” or some shit like that … Any help?

  39. VNinsanity on said:

    I was lazy so I stayed at mp3 to 120 i enjoyed the spawn rate even though the exp per kill isn’t as high as aliens there was more mobs to compensate for it imo

  40. uuuhhh on said:

    Temple of Time Maps (Pretty good exp with decent spawn rate and good alternative to lkc)
    Knight Stronghold: Hall of Honor (I suggest lvl 175+ unless ur funded like empress equips)

    Just wanna put a few notes here
    1. For non-magician classes you can kill the mushmom bosses (mushmom, blue mushmom and zombie mushmom) to level to lv30
    2. If you can solo the mushroom castle bosses (the 3 colors) you can train till lv50 there. Saves the hassle of going to multiple places.
    3. You should add Ludibrum PQ, Orbis PQ and Dragon Rider PQ to your PQ list.
    4. Like many in the comments said already, you have missed out Mercedes’ link skill, which is to give that persin 10% more exp. Also, you have missed out the HS buff on your calculations. There is a thread at the maplesea forums which shows calculations regarding the EXP multipliers.
    Please correct me if i am wrong, as I am not completely sure of GMS’s difference compared to MapleSEA, but this is how MapleSEA trains (most of us, anyways.)

    awesome you just forgot a little thing in exp boost : Mercedes link skill

  43. Jadfihf the Mercedes on said:

    Thanks! I have been looking for a good level guide. I will always come back to this as a good list. Again, thank you for this list!

    Can we still get the hats? I doubt so right? And, the GSPQ is for lv70++

    ayumi,blocktopus at lvl 45 is a little bit too much,i play a maplesea phantom and i cant kill..any ideas on hw do i do it at so low lvl?

    List of EXP Equipment
    1) Welcome Back Ring (+80% EXP) Only allowed for people that quit for sometime.
    2) Pendant of the Spirit (+200% EXP) Time limited.
    3) Crusader’s Zeal Ring (+100% EXP) Its not 100% I have one on my Mercedes its 2 or 5%. Also you can’t get it anymore.

    You also forgot about the Mercedes Link skill which is 10%.

  47. imal0ser on said:

    uh sorry i havent replied in a bit but i would rather train at LHC (Lion Heart Castle) i mean its a much better grind for most people that dont do horrible damage. So like its better.

  48. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Khaleb, the training grounds above are suited for most MapleStory Jobs as its the ranked the fastest exp ground but has many people vs a little smaller spawn area with less frequent players (avoid getting kill stealed or people overtaking your place even though you ask them to cc – change channel). Most of the training places above are the ones I use to level up my characters (Mercedes / Demon Slayer) above Level 100.

  49. Khaleb Scott on said:

    Still Legit for all classes?

  50. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi anonymous, have you tried the training spots listed above?

  51. anonymous on said:

    Where can I train to level up faster? I am currently a level 107 evan.

  52. Rex on said:

    Guys, i wanna know the 12 stat hat is it for explorer job only? but my evan got…

  53. Ayumilove on said:

    @stanley: Use Angel Ray + Summon Bahamut (dragon) + Teleport Mastery for training. The total damage of using all 3 combined is near towards fully charged Big Bang and without the hassle to charge+walk/climb. Try training on these monsters: 121 Phantom Watch / 124 Dark Yeti and Pepe / 124 Grim Phantom Watch / 126 Thanatos / 130 Female Boss / 132 Coolie Zombie / 132 Miner Zombie / 147 Skelegon / 150 Summoned Auf Haven [2] / 153 Skelosaurus / 170 Summoned Auf Haven / 188 Eckhart.

  54. stanley on said:

    ayumi love can i ask where can i train for my bishop level 133 , i played maplesease .i just recently started back maple i am not very active in it but i hope i can make my account to level 135 to 140 at least . since now genesis has cool down , so practically the best skill is shining ray or angel ray or holy arrows and the dragon.

  55. stanley on said:

    i recommend for 60+ you go to omega sector and train till level 70, the exp rate is high , and the quest will allow you to keep on leveling very fast and the mob spawning is fast

  56. Jonathan on said:

    Ludibrium PQ is a goldmine for 50-70. At 50 I got 50% per 5-10min run, while at 65 it was still giving 40%. Only drawback is 10x per day max. I leveled really fast here.

  57. Ayumilove on said:

    @Imaloser: Where would you train after level 120+?

  58. imal0ser on said:

    this is a good list but i prefer alien base to be up to lv 110 rather than 120

  59. Joel on said:

    Haunted House =/= haunted mansion : the former is always there,but the latter is event only. To get to Haunted House,go to New Leaf City (through kerning city or dimensional mirror depending on your version), then go to the NLC taxi and talk to it to go to the haunted house. Stronghold is a lv 165+ area that has really high-level monsters with lots of hp and resistant to most status effects,but they give good xp on levels 165-200. To get to it,go to Temple of Time (from Leafre),then go to the Three Doors map. From there,enter the portal with the half-open door,then go to the Ereve portal. From there,you can go to Stronghold,but you need a Knight Emblem (think it was named something like that,might be Cygnus Emblem though)

  60. PHAIVTOIVI on said:

    How do you go to the haunted house or mansion when in only comes out during the Halloween event?

    What is stronghold?

    P.S. my main char is not a very high level so I am not really experienced

  61. Joel on said:

    Azwan gives about 300-400 XP per mob. I found grinding solo at easy/normal Defense mode to be pretty fast leveling on my Demon Slayer. You can also grind at supply mode.

  62. Tsuyosa on said:

    Thanks! It would help me a lot!

  63. Ayumilove on said:

    I think its because LHC Monsters are way too hard compared to KMS version of LHC where 1 person can solo it, whereas GMS/MSEA requires a party of people to kill 1 of those mini-boss health mobs.

  64. Viper599 on said:

    nobody trains in LHC in MapleSEA…

  65. Ayumilove on said:

    @Darkbanana96: Thanks! You can share some of your training ground advice here.

  66. Darkbanana96 on said:

    Awesome guide :D

  67. Alex Fantinatti Da Silva on said:

    Ayumilove…actyally, you can create a solo party to kill king pepe

  68. Ayumilove on said:

    @Anumo: You can’t solo King Pepe (3 colors) as you need to party with someone to enter the place and its a bit of hassle to find someone to accompany you into the field.

  69. Ayumilove on said:

    @DuelBlade495: I have added Twisted Jesters at level 67-90. It depends on player stats though. If you have equipment with good stats (Scrolled/Potential), then you can take on this enemies at an earlier level. For me, I have tested it with *clean* stat equipment.and I find it Level 67 is just right without missing the enemy too much.

  70. DuelBlade495 on said:

    you should put in twisted jestures for level 60-80

  71. Anumo on said:

    Grey yeti and king pepe is good infact all the coloured yeti and king pepe is great
    They would give about 9k exp per solo

  72. xlii on said:

    I think the %’s for the EXP boost rings are wrong.

    I have a Crusader Zeal and it only gives +2%EXP.

  73. Joel on said:

    I can level about 3 lvs an hour at Galloperas as a lv 8x ._.

  74. Joel on said:

    sure is all 40-50 spots filled with tornado uppercut FMA hackers :L

  75. Ayumilove on said:

    @Anonymous:
    Thanks for the input! Adding to the guide above.

  76. Anonymous on said:

    Strong hold might be a good idea after 160 or 170

  77. Ayumilove on said:

    @killallbabie:

    The training guide is based on my experience playing in GMS using clean equips (no scroll or potential). KMS might have used a different damage formula so KMS players deals a little more damage higher than other regions. If your damage is strong, you can take on higher level monsters easily, hence more EXP reward. :)

    Thanks for your input in KMS!

  78. killallbabies on said:

    Level 75 Magatia PQ probably isn’t a good idea, at least in KMS where Magatia PQ is so populated, and most people who do it are lv.90+, so you’ll probably get rejected from parties being only Level 75.Orbis PQ is probably better until Lv.85 so that none of these problems are present, and when you hit 85 you can actually Magatia PQ and get into parties easily. Also, because of the recent Tempest update, Cru+Captain to 120 is a bit extreme, because since you hit 4th job a lot faster, and your attacks become powerful quickly, maybe it the short version of the guide should say Cru+Captain to 95-100 and Ghost Pirates in Ludi or Magatia PQ 100-110,and Spirit Vikings from 100-115 . At least that’s how I did it.

  79. qwertyu on said:

    lv60+ can go try normal barlog (expedition) if you can find good members(timing + healing + rev death)
    lv100+ try zakum

  80. qwertyu on said:

    if you are bored of pure killing in same map, you can go try Party quest, Monster park and battle mode
    in PQ party with lower levels and in MP party with higher levels. battle mode FFA is some ok xp too if you have fast attack and good mobing skills

  81. qwertyu on said:

    lv1(lv10)-30, home town quests
    lv30-55, shopping center CDs
    lv55-80, Robos and MRobos
    lv80-115, MP3
    lv115+ LHC

    most ppl train like this, with just one 2x Exp boost you should get to lv120 in 3-4 days

  82. Ayumilove on said:

    @thatdude: There is always a detail version to fallback to :)

    Hi Spearman, Thanks for stopping by :)

    Hi unknow, you can spam potions to reach level 70 if you have the funds for it.

  86. Spearman on said:

    Thanks! I love this guide, it’s better than the others. Keep it up!
    ^ u ^

  87. unknow on said:

    should i use the potion to reach lvl 70 quick yes or no?? plz help i want a strong chacter..

  88. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Pop,
    It is always updated and these maps would not be changing for sometime unless MapleStory do another full revamp on their maps and their monster level.

  89. pop on said:

    nvm i see some one mentions phantom so ima say this was updated not to long ago. and i got a good pic lol

  90. pop on said:

    hey when was this last updated?

  91. GoKrazi on said:

    amen to that. though I do like the new skill animation. bera gets really laggy due to the new class, phantom

  92. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi GoKrazi,
    Yes I do play both of them previously but now only once awhile. I have uninstalled KMS and JMS since its taking up my hard disk space. MapleStory is becoming really complicated with the new introduction of scrolls, miracle cubes, alchemy thingy, potential. I prefer the old MapleStory where everything is kept simple :)

  93. GoKrazi on said:

    well really…there’s always enough people. its just that no one wants to be the one to start the party. but yea u play kms or gms?

  94. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi GoKrazi,

    Thanks for the tip on Party Quest! Most Maplers prefer not to take part in PQ because either the PQ area is deserted or difficult to find enough people to start the PQ.

  95. GoKrazi on said:

    u should put pq’s as part of the training spots

  96. GoKrazi on said:

    the Romeo and Juliet pq gives a very good amount of exp after completion however there are some grinding spots during the quest if u feel like t training. there is a level requirement and sorry I don’t remember. maybe 70

  97. PeregrineX on said:

    My level 90 Demon Slayer can beat them up just fine, but just in case you can leave it that way. Demon slayers are pretty overpowered :P

  98. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks PeregrineX, I have added Homonculus monster into the list! When do you start training there and till what level?

  99. PeregrineX on said:

    You should put Homonculus (Lv.98, Zenumist Research Institute: Lab – 203) to the list. It’s a flat map with great spawn, and the homunculi have very good kill exp. Anyways, awesome guide! :)

  100. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks Aeviternus! I have added Chryse into the list above!

  101. Aeviternus on said:

    You should put in the whole Chryse place on level 50-60. It’s pretty quick.

  102. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks CodyPhantom, I have added Alien Miner (90-120) into the list and also Cherry Bubble Tea (30-35)

  103. CodyPhantom on said:

    You may want to add in alien base. I always go thr to train in arcanems. I am not sure if this place is faster than the ones u said above.

  104. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi all, I have added more new locations in the list above! If you know any great spot for fast leveling, recommend them here by posting a comment.
