Subjunctive KoL: AreaRequirements

Most areas are not accessible to you at the beginning of the game; they appear gradually over the course of your quest. And even after an area appears, it often has a stat requirement for you to be able to adventure there. This page attempts to document these requirements.

There are two columns: "Visibility" indicates when an area first becomes visible. In general, to get an area you must reach the appropriate level and visit either the Council or your Guild; this is indicated by the "[C]" and "[G]", respectively. Some areas do just pop into existence when you reach the appropriate level, however. "Stat requirement" indicates the level of your primary stat required to actually adventure in that area. (This is based on your modified primary stat, so boosts can help you adventure in an area, while being Beaten Up may prevent you from adventuring in some areas. The one exception is the Daily Dungeon, which appears to be based on your base stat.) Note, of course, that being able to adventure in an area is no guarantee that you'll be able to survive in that area! Consult AreaDifficulty to learn about that.

All adventure zones are listed first; non-adventure zones which also have certain requirements (e.g. the mall) are listed at the bottom. Non-adventure zones which don't have any requirements (e.g. the Demon Market) are not listed.
