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 weak Bubblings, however they can pose quite a threat to players that cannot deal enough damage to knock them back. The next map is filled with the flying enemies, Stirges. At this point, called the Transfer Area, the path splits into 2 lines(Line 1 and Line 2). Both routes are similar, featuring Jr. necki and both Jr. and the "senior" Wraiths. The boss-like Bot-catching monster Shade spawns alongside the Wraiths at the end of both lines. Shades can be weakened by activating the lamp.

The Kerning Swamp is the swamp between Kerning City and the dungeon. 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 and Curse Eyes as well. In some versions, a boss monster, called the 'Dile, spawns here in the middle of the swamp. It is an enormous alligator with a bird riding on its back.

Hidden in the swamp is also the Monkey Swamp, a popular training area populated by Lupins, both living and (un)dead. In this area, Thieves can also use the Door of Dimension to travel to the other dimension where the 3rd job advancement test is held.
[[Image:MS-Kerning Forest.jpg|thumb|right|The Kerning L Forest area.]]
The Kerning L forest lies between the Three Way Split and Kerning City. It's a complex maze of L-shaped platforms, which make navigating it difficult. Stronger monsters like Blue Mushrooms, Lupin, and Iron Hogs roam, making it even more difficult to get through to Kerning. It's advisable to avoid this area as much as possible by using town scrolls or taking the taxi. Or if that's not possible, high leveled monsters (monkeys, blue mushrooms, etc) can be avoided by staying away from the bottom of these mazes.
