Empyrean Traces in Eltnen (140)
Field pickups that give the zone's Empyrean Trace item. Tick the ones you took on the map; they stay in this browser.
93 ground, 45 air, 2 water. The client names every one of them "Empyrean Trace: Eltnen" (EnvObjData) and pays 1 of the zone's Monolith token each (RewardData → RewardItem, always):
Empyrean Trace: Eltnen (Bound). Show them on the map →
Locations (55)
Sealed Dungeon entrances, occupation territories, battlefield and village areas, camps, map portals, flight rings and Abyss artifacts. Kibelisks and the other entrances have their own layers.
Monsters (4,888 spawn points)
Every monster spawn point of the map's spawn list, by species; each links to its page. Normal monsters are dots in the colour of the game's creature type; elite, named and boss ranks wear their portraits.
0 elite and 0 named species, 12 field bosses. 67 kinds of NPC (492 places) are on the NPCs layer.
Farming route
The Route tab orders the markers you still need: a layer (a gathering type, Hidden Cubes, Empyrean Traces…), one area or the whole map, and a start. Collected markers are left out. Up to 2,000 stops.
Rule: Nearest neighbour, then 2-opt: from the start, walk to the closest stop left, then keep reversing stretches of the path while that makes it shorter. Straight lines on the map — terrain, cliffs, flying and teleports are ignored — so the length says how the stops line up, not how long the walk takes.

How this map is made
- Art: the game's own world map, its sector tiles put together as the game places them.
- Positions: the map's spawn list in the client (every candidate spot of a spawner).
- World to map: world coordinates ÷ 100. Check: all 19 area names of the game's map fall inside their own area outlines (gap 0.01% of the map width).
- Hidden Cubes: Every spot a Hidden Cube spawner can use (MapData spawn list). One spawner is one cube that appears at one of its spots.
- Empyrean Traces: Field pickups that give the zone's Empyrean Trace item, which levels its Monolith (EnvObjData rows named "Empyrean Trace: <zone>" in the map's spawn list; Ground / Air / Water by the object's name).
- Locations: Sealed Dungeon entrances, occupation territories, battlefield and village areas, camps, map portals, flight rings and Abyss artifacts (EnvObjData usages, WorldMapUIRegion icons and the occupation explorations' subzones). Kibelisks and other dungeon entrances are their own layers.
- Pets: Where the monsters that drop a pet's soul stand (monster drops + MapData spawn list). Tick a pet you already have: it leaves the route.
- Field bosses: Field boss spawn points (WorldMapFieldNamed + MapData).
- Spacetime Rifts: Rift portals (EnvObjData usage Rift → RiftData: where it leads, from what level).
- Gathering: Gathering nodes (EnvObjData usage GatherSource), filter by type.
- Kibelisks: Kibelisk teleport points (EnvObjData usage TeleportArtifact).
- Dungeon entrances: Dungeon and portal entrances (EnvObjData usage EnterDungeon / PartyDungeon).
- Monoliths: Monoliths (EnvObjData usage Monolith).
Eltnen map: questions
Which pets can I get in Eltnen?
1 pets: their souls drop from monsters that stand in Eltnen. Pick the Pets layer and type a pet's name to see where its monsters are.
Where are the field bosses in Eltnen?
12 field bosses are on the map, as portraits in red rings — the This map panel lists them; a click finds one. Spawn timers, where the client has them, count down there and on the timers page.
Where are the Empyrean Traces in Eltnen?
140 pickups called "Empyrean Trace: Eltnen" are placed in the client's spawn list (93 ground, 45 air, 2 water). Each pays 1 Empyrean Trace: Eltnen (Bound) for the Monolith. Switch on the Empyrean Traces layer, tick the ones you took, and the Route tab orders the rest.
How does the farming route work?
Pick a layer (and a type or an area) in the Route tab, a start — the map's centre or a point you click — and the stops you have not ticked off are put in order. Nearest neighbour, then 2-opt: from the start, walk to the closest stop left, then keep reversing stretches of the path while that makes it shorter. Straight lines on the map — terrain, cliffs, flying and teleports are ignored — so the length says how the stops line up, not how long the walk takes. Up to 2,000 stops.
Where do the positions come from?
From the map's own spawn list in the game client (MapData), put on the game's world-map art with world ÷ 100 — checked against the 19 area names of the game's own map, which all fall inside their areas.
