The Ancient Hunting Grounds initially appeared when the Blue Moon was in the night sky. The various creatures fell to us giving double experience. As the paths to the entrances became well known, the Hunting Grounds could no longer disappear so now you can hunt there all of the time. But since the Blue Moon isn't in the sky you'll only receive normal experience.

Originally you could walk from one area to the next. Now you can only access the 4 areas from locations throughout the lands.

Aklak Grounds - Kugnae (000 108)
Blaze Grounds - Nagnang (145 055)
Gri-Yal Grounds - Buya (117 155)
Omphalos Grounds - Wilderness (060 219)
