Leveling Guide
Not sure where to grind next? This phase-by-phase route tells you where to fight, which dungeon to run, and what gear to chase. Values keep being tuned after launch.
This guide focuses on what to do each phase rather than locking in numbers that aren’t final. The XP curve and gear strength keep being tuned from live data, so treat it as direction and follow the in-game quest panel and growth guidance for specifics.
Main Quest Route
Before the first advancement, just follow the main quest — it’s the fastest, least wasteful path. Here is the whole chain in four stops: which map, which quests, which monsters.
Find Mayor Harold, then visit your class trainer for a set of gear and potions; potions and skills go onto the hotbar automatically. Open your bag and equip at least 3 pieces, and you are ready to leave. If you want to learn the dungeon rhythm first, run Stone Keep (the Lv1–15 tutorial dungeon) once on the way.
Main quests: The Mayor Is Looking for You → Meet the Class Trainer → Put Your Gear On
“First Trip Out” only asks for 5 meadow monsters; press AUTO once you reach the meadow and your character fights on its own. At Lv8 “Clear the Caravan Road” asks for 12 more, and at Lv12 the blacksmith Oscar wants 5 tufts of soft fur, which hamsters drop fastest. Push deeper as you level: West Fork (Lv3) → Wolfshadow Slope (Lv5) → Dewbloom Field (Lv6) → Meadow Depths (Lv7) → Border Outpost (Lv9).
Main quests: First Trip Out → Clear the Caravan Road → The Blacksmith Needs a Hand → Materials for the Blacksmith
At Lv15, “Mist Beyond the Meadow” sends you into the Gloomlands to clear 5 undead; at Lv20, “A Little Closer” asks for your first elite kill (elite names end in “· Elite”; the Silent Corridor has the closest ones). Then take the west gate portal in Dawn Village to the holy capital, which becomes your base for supplies and quests. From here you can run Gloom Cave (the Lv20–29 solo leveling dungeon) once a day for big XP and a steady supply of blue-gear materials.
Main quests: Mist Beyond the Meadow → A Little Closer → To the Capital
At Lv28 the royal page Lumi in the capital gives you Laefi’s old notes; follow the marks into the depths of the Silent Corridor. At Lv30 clear 18 more monsters and one elite, then return to the central plaza of the capital and talk to the combat instructor to pick your first job seal.
Main quests: The Path Laefi Walked → Finish the Route → Come Back and Talk → First Advancement: Your First Seal
After Lv 30
After the Lv30 advancement the mainline slows down, and progression becomes a loop: daily dungeons → set pieces and materials → refine your gear → harder dungeons. These four dungeons start the loop:
A 4-player fight against the Azure Wisp Sovereign that teaches positioning and phase swaps. Drops the 16-piece Azure Grove class sets — your first set goal after advancing.
The entry party dungeon after the first advancement, with steady rare gear and refinement materials.
Heavy undead pressure but fully soloable — the main source of epic gear and refinement materials.
Mechanics matter and the tank must hold the orc warlord — the payoff is epic weapons and class gear fill-ins.
Gear potential lines are the other half of progression — see the equipment potential page.

By Class
Early: Prioritize stable survival early — weapon, shield and VIT first.
After advancement: After the advancement, turn tankiness into efficiency: practice grouping mobs, mitigation and AoE rhythm.
Early: Fast-paced early; prioritize accuracy and main weapon, don’t just stack damage and get one-shot.
After advancement: After the advancement, focus single-target burst and high-value drops; watch potion consumption.
Early: Level via range and MP management; prioritize magic attack, MP supply and positioning.
After advancement: After the advancement, AoE is efficient — but prepare for cast lock and aggro risk.
Early: Round out solo damage early; grab a staff, holy damage skills and MP supply.
After advancement: After the advancement, turn healing/shielding into party value — group runs pay off more than pure solo.
