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. Beta-stage route — values are still being tuned.
This guide focuses on what to do each phase rather than locking in numbers that aren’t final. The Beta test is still tuning the XP curve and gear strength, 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.
Talk to the mayor and your class trainer for starter gear, equip at least 3 pieces and put an HP potion on the hotbar. Before leaving, run Stone Keep (the Lv1–15 tutorial dungeon) once to learn the clear-floors-then-boss rhythm.
Main quests: Mayor’s Welcome → Meet the Class Trainer → Gear Up → Stock the Hotbar
The mainline has you kill 5 and then 12 meadow monsters — spend your stat points and slot 2 skills along the way as the quests ask. “The Blacksmith’s Request” needs 5 tufts of soft fur; hamsters drop them fastest. Push deeper as you level: West Fork (Lv3) → Wolfshadow Slope (Lv5) → Dewbloom Field (Lv6) → Meadow Depths (Lv7) → Border Outpost (Lv9).
Main quests: Blade of Trials → The Power of Stats → Skills in Hand → Caravan Escort → The Blacksmith’s Request
At Lv15, “Black Mist Omens” sends you into the Gloomlands to clear 5 undead; at Lv20, “The Black Mist Descends” asks for your first elite kill. From here, run Gloom Cavern (the Lv20–29 solo leveling dungeon) once a day — big XP and a steady source of blue-gear materials.
Main quests: Black Mist Omens → The Black Mist Descends
“Proof of Primacy” at Lv25 hands you a class weapon outright. Then push to Lv30: reach the corridor depths, clear 18 monsters, slay one more elite, and return to your trainer to complete the first job advancement. From Lv28 you can also attempt the Black Mist Trial — a Lv28–32 solo story dungeon and the most intense stretch before advancing.
Main quests: Proof of Primacy → Black Mist Frontier → Black Mist Trial → Hour of the Seal → Return for the 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.
