TL;DR: Oren is the central-continent town and the main hub for levels 40-60. It sits between Giran and Aden, neighbors the mage-focused Ivory Tower, and opens up top solo and group farming spots. The Oren castle is a major siege target controlling the middle of the map.

Overview

Oren is a large town in the heart of the continent and your gateway to high-level content. Located between Giran and Aden, Oren is a key hub for characters from level 40 to 60. Right next to it stands Ivory Tower, the tower of mages, surrounded by a cluster of farming zones. Oren Castle is one of the most strategically important objectives for clan sieges, since it controls the central part of the map.

NPCs & Services

Oren has every NPC you need. The Gatekeeper offers a wide selection of teleports, and you'll find a Warehouse Keeper plus C- and B-grade weapon and armor shops. The Grand Master handles your 2nd class transfer quests. The town also hosts the Seven Signs NPCs, a Clan Hall Manager and consumable traders. Oren's player market is busy, so you can often pick up good deals from private stores.

Surroundings & Farming

Oren opens up several popular farming spots. Sea of Spores (lvl 40-50) is a mushroom-and-spore zone with great solo XP. Catacomb of Dark Omens (lvl 40-55) is a dungeon with boosted XP. Ivory Tower and the adjacent Cruma Tower (lvl 35-45) sit right at the door. Enchanted Valley and the zones around Hunter's Village are also within easy reach.

Tips

Oren is a convenient base for grinding from level 40 to 55. If you play a mage, stop by Ivory Tower to buy your spellbooks. Sea of Spores is one of the best solo farming spots at this level, while groups should head to Catacomb of Dark Omens. Before laying siege to Oren Castle, make sure your clan is strong enough — the defensive positions here are tougher than at Gludio or Dion.
