How to measure a camp

Zones by class type
Class camp fit
| Class type | Early | Mid | Late |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elemental Master | Lizard · Rakshasa | Hot Springs · ToI 1F | Royal inner when BM ready |
| Samurai / Assassin | Dragon inner | Hot Springs → GC | 90+ field |
| Sylph Gunner | Dragon · Rakshasa | Hot Springs · ToI | Same ladder — range safety |
| Sigel / DK | Cruma melee | Hot Springs dense packs | GC / Royal with sustain |
| Window twink EM | Lizard only | Dragon west | Do not overgear alt |
Pair with session zones
Open-field Adena is half the economy. Daily: Incredible Temp Zone (short XP burst), Alligator Island (Adena+XP), Training Camp (buff hub + floor farm). Weekly: Tower of Insolence account minutes on strongest character.
Daily pairing template
| Block | Zone | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 10 min | Incredible Temp Zone | XP spike |
| 60 min | Alligator Island | Adena + XP daily clock |
| Remaining | Best open-field for BM | Adena ladder |
| Optional | Training Camp buff then ToI floor | Ranking push |
Competition and etiquette
Popular camps (Dragon inner, ToI 1F, Hot Springs peak hours) punish undergeared characters. Move to secondary camp instead of fighting over one pack — timer and pot cost favor relocation.
Weekly rotation sketch
BM progression path
| Week goal | Camp focus | |

| 450 BM | Hot Springs stable | Daily home base |
| 500–800 BM | GC entrance → deep tests | Move when 20-min sample wins |
| 90+ | Royal inner / 90 field | End ladder until new zones |
Giant's Cave tier detail
Giant's Cave splits into three practical tiers: entrance (~500 BM, ~700 Adena/mob), mid floors (+150–200 BM over entrance, ~1,000 Adena/mob), and deep (~800 BM, ~1,200 Adena/mob). Titled elites on entrance can pay ~1,300 Adena — only farm if kill time matches normal mobs.
Giant's Cave decision
| Tier | BM | Adena/mob | Move up when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entrance | ~500 | ~700 (elites ~1,300) | Stable 20-min sample |
| Mid | +150–200 BM | ~1,000 | No deaths · minimal travel |
| Deep | ~800 | ~1,200 | Sustain holds full pack |

Cruma and Tower of Insolence
