Kanturu

Kanturu is a set of three maps linked in a row, not a single map. The Kanturu Ruins (map 37) receive whoever comes from Tarkan and cover level 160 to 300. The Kanturu Relics (map 38) come after them, ask for level 220 and are one of the best farming places in the classic game. The event area (map 39), where the Nightmare would be, exists on the server but has no entrance connected today.

Kanturu Ruins

The exits are (17,220), which goes back to Tarkan, and (89,89), which leads to the Relics and asks for level 220. Twelve species live in the Ruins, in two blocks: the eight classics, from level 80 to 105, and the four Warrior, from 123 to 129, which have between 184 thousand and 218 thousand health.

The Ruins have 31 regular spots and 3 hot spots on the minimap and no NPC. There is no vault, no blacksmith and no shop on the entire map.

Kanturu Relics

The Relics are the opposite of the Ruins: a small map, with only three species and plenty of them spawning. There are 159 live monsters in a tight space, all between level 117 and 119. For area damage, it is one of the best places in all of classic Season 6.

The Persona hits hardest of the trio, with 1,168 to 1,213 damage, and has the least health. The Twin Tale is the toughest, with 865 defense. The Relics have 29 regular spots and 2 hot spots, and one NPC: the Gateway Machine, at (141,191).

The event area (Nightmare)

Map 39, where the Nightmare and Maya event would be, is registered on the server with the NPC Elphis at (77,177) and 38 laser traps. The original entry requirement is having the Moonstone Pendant equipped. But there are two problems, and the wiki would rather say both.

What drops in Kanturu

The global groups apply, and every living monster in Kanturu is past level 76, so jewels at 0.1% and excellent at 0.01% drop across the whole set. Zen on half the kills and a random item on 30%. On top of that, Kanturu is the only place in the game that drops Gemstone.

The Gemstone

The Gemstone drops in the Ruins and in the Relics, at 0.5% per kill, from monsters at level 93 or higher. It is a group of its own for both maps, separate from the global jewel group, so it does not compete with potions or pets in the roll: when the group hits, a Gemstone comes out.

That matters far more than it looks. The Gemstone becomes a Jewel of Harmony at the Elphis Refinery, and it is the Jewel of Harmony that opens the Harmony options, the level 380 Guardian option, the Seeds and the whole socket system. Before this the Gemstone had a single source, an Elf Soldier quest that stops being offered above level 289, which in practice left a level 400 character with no road at all. For anyone building top tier gear, farming the Relics now pays for two things at once: Symbol +7 and Gemstone.

The Gold Medal requires monsters up to level 110 and drops well in the classic Ruins (Splinter Wolf up to Genocider), but not in the Relics or from the Warrior. The Symbol of Kundun +5, +6 and +7 cover the whole set, and the Relics are one of the best places in the game to gather Symbol +7, which is the key to Kalima 7.

Is it worth it?

In short: the Ruins are a passage and the Relics are a destination. If your character is past 230 and you want to farm experience with area skills, the Relics compete head to head with Swamp of Calmness.

• Swamp of CalmnessThe direct competitor of the Relics in density.
• TarkanThe previous map, where you enter the Ruins from.
• BossesThe bosses that actually spawn on the server today.
• Socket and HarmonyWhat the Gemstone from here unlocks.
