Hot and Cold

Hot and Cold is a set of two Second Sea islands for players between Level 1100 and 1250. Together they form a yin-yang shape split by a small river: the cold side is an icy tundra with a large layered laboratory and a small village, while the hot side is a lava-streaked area with a black cathedral in the center where the Smoke Admiral stands. The Ice Quest Giver on the cold island asks for 8 Lab Subordinates at Lv. 1100 (12,250 Beli / 25,500,000 XP), 9 Horned Warriors at Lv. 1125 (12,500 Beli / 27,000,000 XP) and the Smoke Admiral at Lv. 1150 (20,000 Beli / 32,500,000 XP). The Fire Quest Giver on the hot island asks for 8 Magma Ninjas at Lv. 1175 (12,250 Beli / 29,000,000 XP) and 8 Lava Pirates at Lv. 1200 (12,500 Beli / 31,000,000 XP). Notable NPCs include Arlthmetic, who sells Order raid chips in the crypt behind the cathedral, the Mad Scientist, Lucien, the Trinket Expert, the Dark Step Teacher and the Water Kung Fu Teacher. The laboratory has four colored panels; setting them to red, blue, green, blue opens the door to the raid room, which also holds 2 golden chests and 1 silver chest. The wiki warns that grinding here is tedious because enemies are spread out and hit hard.
