	* Invest into '''Exorcism''' for AoE damage. While it is also a [[File:HolyIcon.png\|15px]] [[Elements#Holy\|Holy]] spell, the ability to strike multiple targets at once makes it efficient despite the damage reduction.
	* Try to gather multiple mobs before casting Exorcism for best results.
	* Several important equipment drops are found here, so it is recommended to remain in Fairy Glen through this bracket even if leveling feels slower.		* Several important equipment drops are found here, so it is recommended to remain in Fairy Glen through this bracket even if leveling feels slower.
