[Guide] Exploration EXP Farming Guide for Beginners
==================================================
Welcome to MabiPro!
Since there wasn't a comprehensive guide on how to farm Exploration EXP to rack up those APs, I decided to make one.
Below are the various ways to earn Exploration EXP on MabiPro, including both classic live-server content and MabiPro's unique custom content.
──────────────────────────────
Classic Live-Server Content
──────────────────────────────
1. Hot Air Ballooning
Overview:
Defeat Wyverns in the Zardine region while riding a hot air balloon. The Stars you earn can be traded with Kelpie for rewards. A maximum of 51 Stars (10 Big Stars + 1 Small Star) can be exchanged for 4,200 EXP.
Requirements:
A Hot Air Balloon and Fuel (purchasable from Kelpie). Having a flying pet will significantly boost your efficiency. You’ll also need ranged combat options like Bows or Magic. The easiest method is using a +4 Chain Casting Firebolt by upgraded Fire Wand.
Tips:
If you fly the balloon at a very high altitude, Wyverns won't aggro onto you.
Register Calida Camp in your last location so you can use a Wing of a Goddess to return instantly.
2. Rafting
Overview:
Ride a raft down the river in the Courcle region while defeating enemies along the riverbanks. The Stars you earn can be traded at the docks with the local NPC. A maximum of 51 Stars (6 Big Stars + 1 Small Star) grants about 3,200 EXP. Since there are 3 docks in total, swapping rewards at each stop can net you up to around 9,500 EXP in a single run.
Requirements:
5,000 Gold to board the raft. Ranged combat options like Bows or Magic are required. Using Thunder or Ice Spear makes this incredibly easy.
Tips:
Once you finish your entire run, relogging while still on the raft will teleport you back to the previous dock you started from.
3. Artifact Excavation
Overview:
Use an L-Rod in the Courcle region to find treasure boxes or stone statues. Take the artifacts to Voight in Cor to appraise/restore them and exchange them for EXP. You can either excavate boxes around Cor/Pantay, or find stone statues in La Terra and gather artifacts barehanded. Excavating boxes may occasionally trigger combat.
Requirements:
An L-Rod and a fast mount (like a Horse). You don't need much combat power for this. However, Voight's restoration process is RNG-heavy, so your real-life luck matters!
Tips:
The Color orbs you find can be used at Cenae Dungeon to access custom content.

MabiPro Custom Content

1. Pantay Dungeon
Overview:
Clear the custom dungeon located in Pantay to earn EXP. Try your best not to kill the plants in the boss room. Depending on the type of plant part you drop to enter, the dungeon type, difficulty, and EXP will vary, but you can generally expect around 6k EXP. Plant parts are highly recommended as they are short and the enemies are weak. The "Lizard" enchant dropped here as a reward will be a huge help to you.
Requirements:
A plant part(obtain from Carnivorous plants) and basic gear. You can fight using whatever playstyle you're comfortable with. The dungeon isn't too difficult—if you know the basics, you can handle it around TTL 100. If you are TTL 300+, you have nothing to fear.
Tips:
Dungeons entered using the reward item "Dragonfly Token" are notably difficult. I highly recommend asking for help in Global Chat.
2. Black Herb Dungeon
Overview:
A custom dungeon located in Lappa that can be accessed by dropping a Black Herb. It becomes accessible once you progress near the end of the original custom main storyline (A1S2). It has 9 floors, and clearing it awards a massive 60k EXP! The difficulty is on the higher side, so it's best to look for a party in Global Chat. Similar to Pantay, I recall that leaving more plants alive at the boss grants more EXP, but my memory is a bit hazy on that one. Sorry!
Requirements:
Storyline progression, and a little bit of courage!
Tips:

3. Honey Exchange
Overview:
Turn in the honey obtained via the custom skill "Beekeeping" to specific NPCs for Exploration EXP. The EXP amount varies depending on the type and quality of the honey. There's way too much to cover here, so please check out this dedicated forum thread:
