Payon Forest 페이욘 숲
The eleven fields around Payon, from the Poring and Willow outside the gate to Eddga's forest and the two Faceworm fields added in 2025: what spawns on each and at what level, the bosses, who stands out there, the way to the Hunter Guild, and the quests. The forest has no post of its own — this is assembled from the game's files, recorded play sessions and the notices that mention it. Every fact says where it came from.

The fields
In the order of the level the game's world map recommends for each, lowest first. Counts are the navigation table's; the server decides the real ones.

Champions. A name with a prefix is a champion: a stronger version of one of
the field's own monsters, with a page of its own. There are five kinds in the game — Swift,
Solid, Ringleader, Furious and Elusive — and the forest has four of them. In September 2023
the way some champions are summoned changed and their EXP was raised considerably. 2023 note
The Eden Group's Diligent Sogil asks for two of the forest's:
the
Bigfoot Ringleader and the
Solid Horn.
Nine of the eleven share one name in the game, Payon Forest, so the map code is what tells
them apart. pay_fild04 is named Sograt Desert, though it is one of Payon's fields:
the Poring family lives there, with its four bosses. The two newest have names of their own,
Payon Snake Forest and Forest of the Giant Serpent.
Bosses
Eddga is the forest's MVP. The four on the Poring field are bosses of the Poring family, and
the five Faceworm Queens — one per element — fill the Forest of the Giant Serpent. Level,
element and race are the game's.
| Monster | Lv | Element | Race |
|---|---|---|---|
Eddga Named 에드가 | 84 | Fire | Brute |
Mastering Named 마스터링 | 50 | Water | Plant |
| | 85 | Shadow | Demon |

The two Faceworm fields
Faceworms first appeared in September 2019 inside the Faceworm Nest, a memorial dungeon for level 110 and above, set in "a field near ancient Payon". 2019 note In April 2025 the developers said its farming would move out of the instance: after clearing the dungeon's story once, players would enter "a special field associated with that MD" and hunt there for its equipment and materials, with no instance to create. 2025 note In September 2025 two open fields were added to the Payon region with the dungeon's monsters: 2025 note
- Payon Snake Forest (
pay_fild11), for base level 110 and above: Faceworms, their larvae and eggs, and the dark ones. - Forest of the Giant Serpent (
pay_fild05), for base level 140 and above: the Faceworm Queens. With the field, the Queen went from an MVP to an ordinary mid-boss, and her card from an MVP card to an ordinary one.
The Eden Group's Payon representative, Payon Envoy Yangmin at moc_para01 51 31, explains both. 2025 note
Two days after they opened, Teleport was enabled on both fields, the Queen's card stopped being
announced server-wide when found, and it left the Boss Card Exchange Box. 2025 note
A sentry in the Snake Forest gives hunting requests for it, and a singing serpent
in the Giant Serpent's forest has the Bard's Song quests.
Getting there. Both are reached on foot. The game's navigation table joins
the Snake Forest to pay_fild02 and pay_fild06, and the Forest of the
Giant Serpent to pay_fild02 and to Morroc's moc_fild03. The dungeon
itself is still entered where it always was, by the game's own tip: the Magic Scholar in the
Dimensional Rift, at dali 80 60. Client
