## Use the roster to plan your exploration

The eight names above are the roster published in Nexon’s Grand Launch announcement. This directory covers that area; it is not a complete list of every enemy in Classic World.

When comparing monsters for training, record the EXP you actually receive and how many you can defeat in a normal session. Your current character and the time between fights both affect the result.

## Looking for a boss?

The Grand Launch also names six challenge bosses, including Stumpy and Jr. Balrog. Keep that list separate from the Excavation Site roster.
