Payon City — Archer Hub, Cave Gate, and When to Leave

Why Payon Still Matters on Day 46

Payon is the archer-town hub south/east of Prontera on the classic Midgard layout ROW rebuilt as open world. New Hunters live here for story beats, bow vendors, and the road into Payon Cave. It is not your Monday Siege city — castle night is Prontera’s 13 castles — but it is still a Recommended Energy stop while undead floors pay better than Prontera outskirts.
