On its own, the tall grass is sufficient to hide mobs and you may run into mobs without realising it. Combined with the rolling hills and ridges, if you are not careful and run over a ridge without checking, you can end up retreating over said ridge with a bunch of very irate ''Crokians'' hot on your heels -- that's not a good way to live. | On its own, the tall grass is sufficient to hide [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] and you may run into [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] without realising it.

* Rest Spots are plentiful in '''FoW'''. The | * Rest Spots are plentiful in '''FoW'''. The [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] are rather scattered, so a [[Lineage_2/Definitions#P|PC]] can find spots where s/ he can rest without worrying too much. The interior of '''FoW''' tends to have a higher concentration of aggressive [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]], so resting spots have to be carefully scouted. | ||
* The main thing to remember is that typically there is one or two aggressive mobs within a particular area. It is possible for them to wander into your rest areas, so if it looks too close to an aggressive mob, it might be better simply to find another spot. | * The main thing to remember is that typically there is one or two aggressive [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] within a particular area.

* As noted earlier, '''FoW''' is deceptively open.

* The best way to travel is actually to zoom out as far as possible and just run as per normal. The extended field of vision is typically enough for you to look over the ridgeline to see if any mobs are on the reverse slope, and once you are on the ridge, those hiding in the grass are often visible. | * The best way to travel is actually to zoom out as far as possible and just run as per normal.

* This is still not a foolproof method though, as the lay of the land can really hide a mob till the very last moment (when their IDs automatically appear, by which time you are almost into aggressive range). It is best to run in small stages, zoom out as much as possible, and keep alert and ready to turn back. | * This is still not a foolproof method though, as the lay of the land can really hide a [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mob]] till the very last moment (when their IDs automatically appear, by which time you are almost into aggressive range).

* The good news is that the openess of the area allows solo players to easily pull mobs into areas s/ he has previously scouted.

These varies from mid 30's to low 40's. The density of [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] is moderate, but adequate for hunting purposes. The range of [[Lineage_2/Definitions#M|mobs]] make this an ideal hunting ground for [[Lineage_2/Definitions#P|PCs]] who are close to their 2nd Profession Change, or around level 35 or so. Solo level 32s or so can also hunt here, as the ''Rakuls'' and ''Crokians (basic)'' in particular are only yellow, and give very good [[Lineage_2/Definitions#X|XP]]/ [[Lineage_2/Definitions#S|SP]] and [[Lineage_2/Definitions#A|adena]]. | These varies from mid 30's to low 40's.
