This is the place where you go to become a thief. You must be at least level 10. It is located on the northwestern side of Victoria Island. This is the most urban town in Victoria Island, hence its name. Outside of the town, there are a number of construction sites and partially completed buildings, overrun by monsters.

Kerning's most popular training area is in the Subways. It is also the host to three Kerning Jump quests. The first map, as would be expected, is populated by the flying enemies, Stirges, however they can pose quite a threat to players that cannot deal enough damage to knock them back. The next map is filled with Stirges and Jr. Wraiths. At this point, called the Transfer Area, the path splits into 2 lines(Line 1 and Line 2). Both routes are similar, featuring Jr. and the "senior" Wraiths. The monster Shade spawns alongside the Wraiths at the end of both lines. Shades can be weakened by activating the lamp. The subways are also used by players to go to Kerning Square, a theme dungeon that mirrors Taipei 101 in Formosa.

The Kerning Swamp is the swamp after Kerning City and the subways. It has the enemies you would expect in a swamp, such as snakes and alligators. When one goes deeper into the swamp, he/she will encounter crocodiles as well. In some versions, a boss monster, called Dyle, spawns here in the middle of the swamp. It is an enormous alligator with a bird riding on it's back.
