Basic Botting Guide (Maps for lvl 1~50)

This guide is written in mind for new botters who does not have the support of higher level character in terms of equipment or zeny. Conditions vary from server to server and thus this guide should only be used for a guideline on your way to being a better botter.

Feedback and comments are welcome.
Many thanks to all who have contributed to making this a better guide for all.

===============================================
Recommended levels : 1~10
Map : prt_fild05, prt_fild06

These 2 maps near Prontera are very similar in nature. Besides the Thief Bugs and Creamys, these 2 maps are very suitable for novice botting. The 2 monsters worth noting here are the Pupa and Thief Bug Eggs. They drop slot Guards, Pupa card (+700 MHP, armour) and Thief Bug Egg card (+400 MHP, shield). Prices for these items vary from server to server but it should worth a nice sum on most servers. These monsters are easy to kill, do not fight back, good Job experience but they do take some time to kill. You can even use this period of time to slowly recover your HP in the meantime.

Recommended levels : 11~20
Map : prt_fild02, pay_dun00

You should have hit your 1st class change by now. These 2 maps are excellent for leveling and the loot are pretty good. The monsters you are aiming to level on in pay_dun00 are the familiars and skeletons. Familiars drop grapes, ribbons, falchions and other items which are worth a bit when sold to the shops. The skeletons drop skull rings and skel bones, another good source of income. The zombies and poporings here are slightly more difficult and should only be attempted if you feel confident of killing it. Magicians and archers can use the hit and run tactic here to kill zombies.

The other map is more suitable for fire magicians and archers. The target of choice here is the Mandragoras. Unable to move and a free frag for characters who has a longer range than it, they drop Four Leaf Clover which are good for vending. Good experience all round, the only disadvantage is the complicated terrain.

Recommended levels : 21~30
Map : mjolnir_01, iz_dun00

Both maps have pretty little aggresive monsters which greatly reduce the expenses of potions. mjolnir_01 is a bit far but can be solved by teleporting there via the Kapra services. Caramels and horns drop the good stuff such as the gurisame and coat but they're a bit tough and not recommended unless you have good equipment by now. The targets of choice here are the Stainers and Creamys. They drop items such as Silk Robe, Rough Elunium and Honey. The Creamy card(Enable teleport level 1, accessory) usually commands a pretty good price on most servers.

The situation is the same over at iz_dun00. The Vadon and Marina are slightly tougher but the items they drop such as Padded Armor and Rough Elunium commands a good price. The other item of notice here is the Hydra card(+20% Damage to Demi-human type monsters and Players). A multi-purpose card, either for PvP or hunting, it makes a tidy sum of money.

Recommended levels : 31~40
Map : pay_fild07, iz_dun02, anthell01

The map pay_fild07 I believed is the new place to hunt Elder Willows. Besides earning money from selling Dead Branches, there're also Eggyra 
and Bigfoot there and their cards can be quite heavily sought after. As for iz_dun02, the map might be slightly tough for some players but the loot is great. Items of interest here are the slotted shields and saint's robe and of course, the hydra card. The amount of loot is comparable to anthell.

Other than the loot from Maya, the high value items here are the Vitata Cards and Elven Ears which could fetch a tidy sum on the market. This is also a place to mass produce empty bottles from the Ant Eggs which are near the entrance. If you're into making your own potions, you can be saving a great deal here.

Recommended levels : 41~50
Map : in_sphinx02, pay_dun01, moc_fild15

There is little difference between the 1st and 2nd level of Sphinx Dungeon, the main difference is numbers. Level 2 has more than level 1. This place also produce Old Blue Box and depending on your server, it could fetch you a decent amount of money. The other item of note here is the Matyr Card. The loot here isn't very impressive compared to other maps.


As for pay_dun01, the overall loot should be sufficient to cover any expenses and this place produces some good items such as Apple of Archer, the Soldier Skeleton and Eggyra cards. All which carry a hefty price tag on the market.

This alternate entrance to anthell (moc_fild15) is a good place to produce Rough Elunium as a large amount of monsters here drop them. Not only that, this place also has the 2 slot Katar and the slotted Mink Coat. This map is also home to the MVP, Phreeoni. As long as you avoid it on sight, you'll do fine.

Recommended classes : Mage, archer
Recommended element : Fire
Exp per kill : Base 392 / Job 248

Tactics : For mage, you should be able to do hit and run tactics on hodes when you have an skill level of Level 5 Firebolt and above. You can progress to hitting on Anacondaq and Steel Chonchon later on. The items of interest here are mainly the cards. Mage should be able to kill a hode with a Level 8 Firebolt when he or she is about level 35.

As for archer, they can snipe from the cliff with fire arrows but that will be slower. They can also snipe savages and elder willow (take note that elder willows are fire-based) if they want a change of taste. Alternative maps for them are prt_fild10 and Hidden Temple.
