Perion
Warrior class town Lv 20-35Warrior Town. Forge, mountain, war drums.
The Warrior town on the northern mountain. Dances with Balrog runs 2nd job advancement (yes, that's really his name). Manji sells the classic swords and gives you Arcon's Blood, Ayan runs the Stump chain, Silas Irons apprentices weaponcrafters. The Burnt Land runs southeast and gives the classic Fire Boar / Dark Axe Stump grind.
Landmarks in town

- Weaponcrafting Station
- Anvil
- Path to Sleepywood
Lore & history of Perion
Perion is the desert town. Red-orange stone cliffs, wooden watchtowers, drums beating in the distance from the tribal encampment. It's Victoria Island's harshest environment by design - if Henesys is farmland and Ellinia is forest, Perion is where you learn to survive on grit. The residents dress in furs and hides and treat everyone else on the island as slightly soft.
Dances with Balrog is the Warrior instructor. His name is a reference to the ancient boss Balrog that terrorizes Sleepywood Dungeon - Dances is a retired veteran who fought (and survived, if not defeated) Balrog in his prime. He grants Warrior first-job advancement in his dojo, which is a fenced-off wooden ring at the town's center. Fights break out routinely.
New at Grand Launch: Perion's Excavation Site, entered from Rocky Road III. It runs twelve maps deep - Ghost Stumps and Wooden and Rocky Masks (Lv 19-24) near the entrance, a base camp with NPCs Shuang and Shawn, then tombs of Skeledogs and Mummydogs (Lv 44-47), skeleton camps (Lv 57-63), and Lv 73 Commander Skeletons on the cliff at the far end.

Curated by category. These sit alongside the auto-generated quest and hunting lists below - think of them as the “insider tips” version.
Talk to Dances with Balrog for Warrior advancement
Enter the Warrior Sanctuary at the center of Perion. Dances tests your Str stat and gives the first-job quest. Non-Warriors: he's still worth talking to for the flavor text.
Explore the new Excavation Site
New at Grand Launch: a Lv 19-73 training complex. Masks and stumps up front, undead dogs and skeletons deeper in - see the Excavation Site guide.
Screenshot Perion's red cliffs
Perion's red-orange stone cliffs and watchtowers make it the most dramatic backdrop on Victoria Island - worth a screenshot on your way through.
Buy your first Sword, Axe, or Spear
Perion's weapon shop stocks the entry-tier Warrior weapons. Fresh 1st-job Warriors should budget immediately - a Lv 20 sword from here carries you through Sleepywood.
Complete Dark Lord's supply chain quests
Perion has cross-town quest hooks - specifically, several Kerning City quests send you to Perion vendors for materials. Watch for the exchange questlines starting at Lv 15.
Listen to the drums
Perion's background audio has a distinct tribal drum loop that never plays anywhere else in the game. Sit in town for 30 seconds without moving - the drums fade in and out.
