## Battle Zones

### Amhang Valley (Level 30-49)

This is the first arena most players encounter.
Factions fight for control of **Beogong Formation**.

If your faction occupies Beogong Formation:

- Access to **Osada Hall** training area
- Monsters can drop **Superior Tablet (Unique)**, which gives **2x EXP for 3 hours** (Level 30-49 only)

### Samji Island (Level 50-69)

This is the battle for **Cheomu Formation**.
Like Amhang Valley, all 3 factions compete for control.

If your faction occupies Cheomu Formation:

- Access to **Jinmi Palace** training arena
- Monsters can drop **Tickets (Unique)**
- Using a ticket gives random silver: **100,000 to 500,000**

### Wargo Valley (Level 70-89)

This is the battle for **Gwangwon Formation**.
Same control format as Amhang Valley and Samji Island.

If your faction occupies Gwangwon Formation:

- Access to **Manhong Cave** training arena
- Monsters can drop **Gift Boxes (Unique)**
- Gift Boxes can give a chance at **Rare** or **Unique** items

### Paldo Island (Level 100-112)

This arena opens **twice daily** at **06:00 GMT** and **18:00 GMT**.

Paldo works differently from earlier battle zones:

- Players must defeat **12 Guardian Monsters** to enter the main fighting zone
- After all guardians are defeated, a bridge opens
- Two factions then fight for control of **Bongmu Formation**

Restrictions:

- Only **100 players** can enter
- If a faction wins Bongmu, that faction cannot enter the next Paldo battle

### Samgok Valley (Level 100-112)

This is a bracket-based arena where players fight for control of **Jeopung Formation**.

Brackets:

- 100-102
- 103-105
- 106-108
- 109-112

### Soiran Valley (Master only)

Master-only formation battle that runs on the 4-hour formation cycle.
