At level 13 with Improving Max MP Increase maxed and new armor and weapon choices, the octopi at Kerning can be added to the hunting list. If you stay on the ramp and use magic claw, then its magic defense won really matter. At level 20, with Magic Claw (MAX), one can handle green mushrooms, horny mushrooms, and maybe even dark axe stumps effectively. You can go to mushroom forest in Zipangu and go crazy on the mushrooms there.

Pig beach is also an effective area to hunt. When nearing level 20 (with Magic Claw nearly maxed or maxed), Fireboars in the Burning Zone can be effectively dealt with when using a ledge in the Burning Zone II. Fireboars give 120 EXP, but give only 60 when you take even a little bit too long to kill it. Make sure you have plenty of MP and HP potions, because Fireboars do 80 damage, which you should be able to avoid when using the ledge properly. The MP potions are needed because it takes more than 100 MP to kill a fireboar with 5 in Max MP Recovery.


At level 21, Kerning Party Quest is available. Since first jobs all have minimal damage until just before second job, you should have equal chances of getting invited. If you get bored of the First Accompaniment, you can try the Ariant Colosseum, available in versions with Ariant (available in KoreaMS, JapanMS, ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, ThailandMS, MapleSEA, GlobalMS). You can continue to train on green and horny mushrooms, or you can go and destroy jr.
