I want to explore. Please adjust monster cap.

I got all atherytes way before 1.17 was even out. Trust me, you're not missing anything besides the achievement. The areas all look the same, the monsters all look the same as well. No variety. Found maybe 1 or 2 spots where I was shocked by the view in the entire game.

It's nearly impossible to pass on several dangerous monsters that are at lv 70+ unless an army of groups of friends or Ls are willing to throw one body after another just so a crystal port can be discovered. This isn't an achievement this is suicide. I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) that there will be a little increase level cap some time later in the future but even so some monsters need some readjustment of their level so exploration can be fun and exiting.

If they expect to increase cap (assumingly) one year later or two years, then by all means please adjust it so that we can explore rather than be limited to a few zones where they are boring and unappealing.

Do these monsters aggro by noise? so can't we simply walk by them?

I am currently 1 node away from having attuned to all of them. All i can say right now is getting to Snakemolt is a total pain in the ass. The main reason being how many pugots are down in the area and there tendency to hang out with raptors.

Pop your defensive abilities, choco through them and hope for the best. That's what I did. If you stay far enough away from them, they won't hit you since they no longer have ranged attacks.

Just walk, crabs are sound aggro, I've got all camps and gates alone

Likewise. Got them all alone. Many mobs are sound, notably drakes and crabs. Just be patient and smart. Sometimes they can be facing frustrating directions, but trying to bolt for it usually nets you charging headlong into MORE mobs that will aggro as well. There's a warp exploit? What does that even mean? I really don't think something like that exists, and even if it does there's no reason to try and downplay someone else's success over your failure.

I would also like to know how you could possibly exploit this.

I am also curious, the only thing that I could think could even be considered an exploit is the fact that if you lag (like me) you can choco to a point without seeing a single mob because the server response is so slow that by the time the mobs "spawn" and prepare to detect you... you're already long gone :P

Be patient, hug the walls when you can and be attentive to the enemies around you.

For Snakemolt & Lichenweed in The Black Shroud, I had one person with raise accompany me and we made it that way.

Edit: Also, the mobs on the paths of Snakemolt do take a short while to load in - usually not long enough for you to reach a safe, mob-less area, though.
