Moonshade Desert
Special Note: See Chrono Guide which is a good place to Start and get a broad over view of ALL the information related to this page.
Moonshade Desert. There's not much to be said about this map except it's horrible. The mobs inside are still [?] mobs but they take just as long to die as a normal mob. If you thought the second map, Unicorn Forest, was bad; this is worse. The mobs will all normal hit you for 1.5k+ and sacrificial assaults will hit you for 4k+. Surrounding the tower, there is "mini-boss" mobs that have even more HP than the "normal" mobs in the map.
It's safely said that this is NOT a place to grind at for EXP.
The mobs here drop the cards for the Spirit and Dexterity Materials used to craft weapons.

To Enter
To enter Moonshade Desert, it's simple. Accept the quest from the Messenger of Time and wait out the 5 minute timer. Talk to the Messenger again and you will be teleported in. There is no time limit for being in this map.
Card Bosses
The remaining 8 card bosses are from Moonshade Desert. You need 1-8 of a card before you can take the quest at the Land Elder(366, 517) in Old Heaven's Tear. If you rather not kill mobs for the cards, an alternative is to trade 2 Mystical Tome Fragments per card at the Land Elder.
- 4 of the bosses will drop Spirit Materials, the other 4 will drop Dexterity Materials.

- The bosses located in FB's must be an unwined run. If you use wine the summmonobot will NOT spawn.
- Arthropodaux boss could be soloable if you have a way of getting rid of the constant mana drains.
- Crystal Terror needs a cleric and a good tank. From the start it will dragon the tank and after 50% HP it will buff itself with attack and defense buffs that will effectively two or three shot the tank if you are not careful.
- Foul Sandsadder is probably soloable with a herc (took a second veno as insurance healer, plus a cleric alt for purify.) After half HP, it will give a survivable earth DoT when it speaks.
These bosses do NOT drop many Spirit or Dexterity. The Spirit bosses will usually drop around 5 or 6. The Dexterity bosses usually drop maybe 4 at most.
