6) At level 20, join a Nation and don't worry about continuing the Main Quest
7) You get a huge LP/MP boost and additional class skills for changing jobs
8) Do not get stuck trying to complete the Main Quest
9) It is better to level on Dynarats or Snakes if you want to level quickly
10) Once you get closer to level 35, complete the last part of the main quest "The Duel" to better utilize the 1,000,000 XP reward
11) Do the first part of Calamity in order to gain access to El Behd
Quest Trunks
1) Your first character that completes Practice and Training determines the contents of the trunk

5) Save the ticket until you can get into a Snake xp party
6) Save the ticket until level 30 minimum for best results
Side Quests
1) Side Quests appear to start at level 20
2) Side Quests are primarily for making gold
3) More Side Quests are unlocked at higher levels
4) Levels > Side Quests unless you need gold
Snake Party
The Snake party is a common way of leveling starting at level 20
TS = Tiger Snake
Lower level parties or low DPS parties can grind on lower level snakes like Bushmasters or Black Mambas
| Empire | Northern Tumblejean | i-8 | L49 Tiger Snakes |
| Varik | Leapholtz Gorge | i-5 | L55 Varik Pythons |
| Kingdom | Montorie Plains | h-12 / i-12 | L49 Tiger Snakes |
| Job | Role |
|---|---|
| Scout | Any Scout with at least 16 in Trapping |
| Archer | Movement buff for pulling |
| Gladiator / Knight | Provoke the snake |
| Mages | Direct damage using Ice-based magic or Invocation 41/Psychic Blade |
| Priest | MP Regen buff, LP buff, Slow on snake |
| Ascetic | Buffs, if possible |
The Snake Party
1) Get to level 20 and try to complete the job change quest
2) Head out to your nation-only area
3) You must have at least one Scout with Trapping 16 for the Tangled Legs skill
4) Invocation 41/Psychic Blade seems to be the best magical attack versus snakes
5) A Level 20+ Priest with Tranquil Mind will help minimize downtime
6) A Warrior with Taunt skills will help kill snakes at a faster rate
7) Traps cost 16g each
8) Expect to use 20-40 Traps per snake at level 20 and around 10 Traps/snake at level 30
9) It is probably a better investment to buy Traps than equipment
10) Once you get to a high level you can do Side Quests for money for new equipment
Soloing
Priests and Knights are not good at soloing due to very low DPS
1) Get to level 20 by doing the Main quest
2) Get to level 25 by doing Side quests
3) Grind on mobs in Jorito / Nelstadt / Himurart and do Side quests to level 35
4) Grind on mobs in El Behd / Leapholtz / Montorie / Northern Tumblejean / Muldian and do Side quests to level 40
Power Leveling
Join a nation.
1) Varik:
Form Python pt. It'll be quick if you can have a conjurer's help. This works well for player under lvl45.
2) Empire:
3) Kingdom:
Above lvl 45 :
Do all the main quest untill you can enter EB.
Go in and find an EB( El Behd ) pt, so you can grind on mobs.
The quickest way is to form a tempest pt, usually with 2-3 locks, 1 healer, 1 tank can mass lure. The tank lures mobs as much as he can, the lock will use tempest on order.
