Taiwan
Taiwan, also called Formosa, is the area based on Taiwanese culture. It, like China and Zipangu, is made up of two main areas, Xi Men Ding (translates to West Gate Town) and the Night Market.
- Xi Men Ding
This is the first area that one arrives at when traveling to Taiwan. It has a modern appearance, and features a plethora of items and shops. A visiting player emerges from the subways into a vibrant and active city. There are quests from the NPCs here, some of which are based on real celebrities in Taiwan. It is a bright place, filled with apartment buildings and different types of cars, including large cargo trucks and smaller personal vehicles. Giant billboards like those found in Times Square or any contemporary city can be found. Even the minimap icon shows its modern state by depicting traffic signs. The monsters are found in alleyways, and range from stray city dogs and wolves to Lupins riding motorcycles and and unicycles. By entering a portal on top of a building just before the Motorcycle Lupins.
- Xi Men Ding can be reached as part of the World Tour through Spinel the Tour Guide (KoreaMS and JapanMS), or through a Subway Line that departs from Kerning City (TaiwanMS).
- Night Market
This area is unique in that, obviously, it is set in the night time, like Korean Folk Town's Black Mountain. Lanterns are strung across the streets, lighting the path. There are hair salons and a plastic surgery hospital here. There are numerous stands, like food vendors and toy sellers, all across the town. Many NPCs are located here, and hand out quests, in addition to selling various items exclusively available here. The music is fast paced and anxious. Monsters here are very strange, including animated Bubbow drinks and vending machines. Further down the monster trail, transforming crane machines that summon miniature toy monsters are found, and the big boss of Taiwan, the Oden King, is located. It has two forms and drops the always valuable Ilbi Throwing stars, but is only accessible to players over level 80. In TaiwanMS, In the month of December, it was joined by the Christmas King Slime, which randomly appeared in Night Market maps.
