Aqua Road is an area located on Ossyria accessible by descending Orbis Tower. Aqua Road is entirely underwater, allowing players to swim. It contains only one town, Aquarium.

Kenta, the inventor of the Tamable Monster Mounts, resides here in Aquarium.

Mushroom Shrine is always in Springtime, so the fair climate is great for the growth of monsters, plants, and players alike. Various monsters roam the nearby countryside, from the common and weak mushroom species, to the monsters that only appear in Zipangu, like the Cloud and Night foxes, and the great for training Crows. Off the main town is an area called the Cemetery, which houses a number of undead monsters, like Ghosts and Coolie Zombies. In the last map of the Cemetery are some Bains. Nearby is a hidden street called Hall of Mushroom, where the mutated mushroom god Blue Mushmom spawns. In another map off of Mushroom Shrine, a bamboo and pine forest branches off, leading through throngs of Paper Lantern Ghosts, Water Goblins and Dreamy Ghosts, finally up to the notoriously difficult Black Crow.

The CBD (Central Business District) is the first town in Singapore. It can be reached by plane from Kerning City. This area features some famous Singaporean landmarks, like the Merlion, Statue of Sir Stamford Raffles and Espalande. An NPC sells many local delights of Singapore here. Some examples are Laksa, Durian, Hokkien Mee and Chilli Crab. There are two exits in CBD. One is linked the Central Way, and the other links to Singapore Airport.

Characters of the four original classes can now advance their characters to the third job.

This is the second town in Singapore. A player walking from the CBD enters the town from the left. It has the same things as most other towns, and the streets are lined with restaurants. This town is much less populated than the CBD, but still fairly active. The main hunting grounds outside of this town are the Mysterious Path, an area leading up to what might be called Singapore's Dungeon, the ghost ship. The monsters here become instantly stronger.

Time has stopped in Ludibrium due to the crack in the dimension near the Time Sphere, which has allowed monsters like Alishar and Papulatus to sneak in to the Maple World.

Omega Sector is a futuristic military base that can be accessed via the bottom floor of Eos Tower in Ludibrium.
Soldiers roam the city, and an NPC that suspiciously resembles a member of the Men In Black stands at the far end. Guards are posted at every exit to prevent intruders from entering. It is mainly a forest-type area, serving as the main attack point for the aliens.

Omok and Match Cards were introduced.

Mu Lung is a town in the high mountains based off Ancient Asian times, along with many animal NPCs and animal monsters. The buildings in the village are red with blue roofs. To reach Mu Lung, you must ride in the pouch of a bird crane, like a newborn baby from Orbis Station. Mu Lung has many citizens and buildings, including a Hair Salon, Plastic surgery and skin care, the owner of the Peach Farm, named Tae Sang, and the usual weapon, armor, and potion sellers. One particularly unique resident is Mr. Do, an eccentric doctor who can make a variety of unique potions and buff items, as well as scrolls, when given certain ingredients. Additionally, the Mu Lung Temple area is reached at the right entrance in Mu Lung, where Masters teach eager players as disciples. Even the monsters living near Mu Lung practice to become masters. While a normally peaceful place, the people of Mu Lung live under the constant threat of invasion by Master Goblin, the leader of the Sage Cats.

Herb Town is located in the Mu Lung Gardens region, which can be reached via a flying crane from Mu Lung. Herb Town can also be reached by the Dolphin Taxi in Aquarium for 10,000 mesos. It features a Bellflower and ginseng theme, and carries on with the Asian themes of Mu Lung. The area is very swampy, and fog rolls over the water standing along the ground. The monsters outside the town follow with this theme, to an extent. The first monster one encounters walking towards Herb Town from Mu Lung is Mr. Alli, an alligator type monster that has a bird on top of it's head. Pirates attack the town from time to time, stealing the valuable Bellflower and Ginseng plants grown here. The people living here are the same Panda-like creatures that populate Mu Lung. Inside town, there are NPCs that sell weapons and armor, and give out quests, mostly related to stopping the pirate raids.

Perion Excavation site and Perion ruins, which feature the strongest monsters on the continent of Victoria outside of Sleepywood. A few maps outside Perion, a trail leads to the Excavation site. Monsters called Stone Masks, Wooden Masks, and Ghost Stumps walk on cranes that look like those near Kerning City.
By traveling a few maps further, one reaches the Excavation camp Site, where Guild leaders and Jr. masters can register for the Sharenian Guild Quest

This Boss monster is located at the end of the Ghost Ship found in Boat Quay Town, an area of Singapore.

New Leaf City is a town founded on the ruins of an ancient city, called Old Sappe Village, that sunk into the ocean over 1000 years ago. It housed a technologically advanced civilization that used powerful techniques to perform good acts. No one knows why they disappeared, or why the continent suddenly surfaced. The town is run and populated by a number of fascinating characters, ranging from the mayor, Icebyrd Slimm, to renegade Amorian prince Jack Masque. The city uses a set of warp systems developed by the local genius and time traveler, Professor Foxwit, called Foxwit Doors. The city's laws are enforced by the ironically named Lita Lawless, a former thief from Kerning City. The final "founding father" of the town is a mysterious stranger from Versal, Maple's parallel dimension, named Elpam Gorlab (Maple Balrog backwards, as though in a mirror), where the Balrogs are kind and loyal to humans.

The Haunted House is a mini town of Masteria which has a night theme. To reach the Haunted House you must talk to the NLC Taxi located at the far left end of New Leaf City.

The Prendergast Mansion was once a great center of production for the Prendergast Toy Company, but it fell into ruin after the owner's daughter, Sophilia, died. The grieving father started to go mad, and created hundreds of dolls in her image. Now, it serves as a complex maze that was maintained by Edmund the Butler for the lady Ludmilla. The rooms of the mansion can be approached from any number of directions, and depending on how one enters a room, I.E. through the right side on the floor or on the ceiling, the contents of the room will differ. Many new and unusual monsters, which have evolved from the toys through the dead father's pain, can be found inside the mansion.

Zakum is a boss found in the El Nath Mine in the El Nath Mountains.

Zakum was a spirit sealed in a tree deep in the mines of El Nath's volcano. A mining town that once existed nearby eventually discovered this tree. At the time, Zakum was a peaceful monster that had no enemies, but the greed of the miners corrupted it. As the spirit was corrupted, it grew smarter, and finally became capable of controlling the town's populace. It forced them to build an enormous statue in tribute to it. The now evil spirit of Zakum possessed the statue, subjugated all the humans and eventually killed everyone in the town. Zakum now rests deep in the lava caves, waiting for powerful players to challenge his might.

Korean Folk Town is one of two towns based on Korean culture.

There are two ways to travel to Korean Folk Town: using the giant magical "storybook" portal at the end of Aqua Road, at a point called "The Sharp Unknown"; or by going down Helios Tower from Ludibrium to use the giant magical "storybook" portal in the tower's library on the first floor.

The Cracked Dimension in Ludibrium is causing the books of Helios Tower's Library to be scattered and is destroying the stories. Many of the quests here involve setting the legends straight and returning their storybooks to the proper places. One emerges from a well, climbing into the colorful town from Aqua Road. As in other towns, Korean Folk Town contains some people who give quests and also sell various items, potions, and equipment.

Korean Folk Town also serves as a gateway between Ludibrium and Aqua Road without having to ride the transportation at Orbis.

Henesys Party Quest

After walking to the right of Mushroom Shrine, the maps begin to change into a street or alleyway. The enemies look like players, and roam the streets wielding guns, swords, baseball bats and bricks. In one of these streets, the Male Boss of the Yakuza, the Japanese gangster group that operates like the Mafia, spawns. These Yakuza members and random bosses pose a hazard to lower level players venturing to Showa. Once in Showa's Main town, there is a sauna, with secret maps filled with monsters.
