Zoning Exploration Guide · Lv20–23
Cuizhu Valley
The first extended continent after the novice area shares a whole piece of land with the deep bamboo forest above. There is a dividing line on the map: above the line is the deep bamboo forest and below is the bamboo valley. When you first explore, the equipment is still poor. Although the monsters are only level 10-20, they still do a lot of damage to you. Be careful not to pull too many monsters at once. There are many grass-type monsters, so use the Grinding Sheep (Yama Sheep) to restrain them, which will cause high damage. When the monsters are down to full health, put away your own palu first to avoid accidentally killing them, and then make up the ball to capture them.
Area Palu
| Palu | suitability for work | fall | Refresh location/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shui Ling'er (Shui Ling'er) | Level 1 Watering/Level 1 Pasture | Palu body fluid (large demand in early and mid-production) | There are two small areas of water above and below the teleportation point; be sure to catch one to graze, and it will automatically produce bodily fluids; otherwise, you can only buy it from wandering merchants (villages/fishing villages/desert merchants do not sell it, only specific merchants have it). |
| water-sliding snake | Level 2 watering | body fluids | Two bodies of water in the area (another type of water monster) |
| Wind Cut Dragon (Feng Gelong) | Level 1 Fire Making/Level 3 Carrying | Bones, gold coins, rubies (cannot drop fire-breathing organs) | The transfer point is near the front; its saddle can be unlocked at level 21, and its endurance/speed and other values are stronger than that of the Gale Falcon. It is the main flying mount at this stage; the one with "Zen Tranquility" passive can increase the damage of non-attribute attacks by 10%. |
| Peckron (Peckron) | Level 1 handling / Level 2 watering | Premium Parlu Oil | Cuizhu Valley is in the middle; two of them often appear together, and the level is relatively high; use a small combo of shooting + rolling and dodging skills, so don't take it hard. |
| Corolla dragon | Level 2 Seeding/Level 2 Logging | Wheat seeds, carrot seeds | In fact, it is refreshed in the novice area (easy to miss); after being caught, it can replace the repetitive work pallu such as Zixia Deer, which only has level 2 tree felling/seeding. |
| Boba Cow | grazing | milk (grazing) | The area on the right side of the Cuizhu Valley; milk is required for breeding to make cakes, so grab a grazing herd early; the cow can be replaced by the repeated grazing paru. |
| Azure Bird | Level 2 Collection | leather | Above the area; air monsters and Yan Moyang's melee skills are often out of reach; level 23 gloves can be used as paragliders (flying straighter, consuming less stamina, and occupying a team position). |
| Marshmallow | pasture | Marshmallow (grazing, SAN +5 food) | The area around the start of the transfer point; grazing produces marshmallows to replenish SAN. |
| King of Origin (King Kaiwan/Kiwanmaru) | Full Level 2: Crafting/Glue/Mining/Cooling/Handling (many types) | Pallu body fluids | The boss point or the first hunting zone (about level 20); choose workers in the early stage, and the sooner you catch them, the better; after level 23, you will be more stable after completing the shotgun + new equipment, and the crusade proves that the water-increasing attribute is small. |
Teleport point
| Teleport point | Main points |
|---|---|
| valley entrance | Not far from the transfer point in the novice area, it is the first point to enter the Cuizhu Valley. |
| Buddhist Waterfall | There will be a piece of sulfur under the platform next to it (digging about 40 pieces to make gunpowder/shotgun ammunition). Run from the teleport point to the small platform on the right to reach it; this is also the meteorite refresh point, so it is worth remembering to come back regularly. |
| third transfer point | Deep in the area, close to where wanted criminals fight with Palu protection groups vs poaching groups. |
Explore routes
- Teleport to the entrance of the valley, first find and catch the water spirit bait in the two waters above and below the teleportation point (the key is to herd Palu in the early stage).
- Walk along the main road, clear active attacking monsters along the way (if you wear the ring, the blood will be left for the Palu to harvest), pick up bullets and Palu balls; and catch the Boba Cow, Water Snake, Pecorosaurus, and Wind-cut Dragon.
- Open the three teleport points (Valley Entrance, Monk Falls, and the Third Point) and dig sulfur in Monk Falls.
- During the day, capture all the new paloos in the area; at night, the two specific monsters will not be of much help to the work paloos. Just come back and capture them after completing the waist-hanging lantern.
- Go up along the dividing line and enter the depths of the bamboo forest (you can capture the wise-eyed cow).
Resources and treasure chests
| Resources | location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| sulfur | The platform below the ascetic waterfall teleport point | Gunpowder→shotgun ammunition; dig about 40 in one trip, enough to last a long time in the early stage. |
| Pistol bullets / inferior ammunition | The ground in the area is often brushed and dropped by poaching groups. | Pick up more when you see them, and save on subsequent production. |
| Advanced paru ball | ground refresh | Pick it up and make less balls. |
| silver key chest | Where the wind cuts the dragon, beside the water | There is no silver key lock-picking tool at this stage, so note the location and come back later. |
Unlock nodes in this area
- Level 21: Gunpowder (2 charcoal + brimstone), shotgun, inferior ammo (makes 20 rounds at a time). Shotgun damage can reach ~1000, but reloading is extremely slow, so you need to stand far away as a sniper.
- Level 21: Windshear Dragon Saddle (replaces Storm Falcon).
- Level 23: Metal armor (after updating weapons + armor in one round, the risk of subsequent exploration will be greatly reduced).
Key points and pitfalls
- Wangcai (prosperous wealth) appears near the Thunder Boy stronghold, which can increase the acquisition of Wangwang coins; first collect 100 Wangwang coins to buy underwear (stable temperature control).
- The Palu protection group vs. the poaching group will fight in the area (corresponding to the diary content). Just let them pick up the things after they fight.
- The medicine cabinet is placed in the corner of Palu's bed: when Palu is sick, he will automatically take medicine and heal himself, so there is no need to keep an eye on the status; if high-end medicines are in short supply, gold coins can be purchased at the store.
- Mingdongzi Cloud + Power Generation Organ + Ancient Civilization Parts can be used as "return to the city" items, which can be sent back to the nearest stronghold after use.
