Leveling Spots

Overview

This page lists recommended leveling spots, with the maps and monsters associated with them. Leveling spots are optimized by only killing monsters that do not have an EXP penalty at the character's current level. More information on this topic is in the Experience page.

The former page was structured more for pre-renewal. Renewal leveling is more universal and does not necessarily need to be divided up by each class. Only a few exceptions exist, such as Acolyte Heal-bombing, and Archers and Mages sniping immobile monsters. The old page has been relocated here.

Adding suggestions onto the page is highly appreciated.

Zenny Vs EXP

New players might want to focus on building their financial power before building their DPS. Quest and bounty boards are a good way to do this. See the Eden Merit Badge and Bounty Board Quest.

Players can also level while farming items used for Potion Creation or Create Deadly Poison. Many other items are sought after by players. Look for these wanted items by visiting the Shopping Board of Prontera to search for buyers of specific items such as red herbs, stems, or maneater blossoms.

Tip: You can kill two birds with one stone by collecting merit badges from bounty boards for monsters that drop items needed for potion creation.

Quests

Quests are an alternative to pure grinding, or are complementary to monster kills by giving extra EXP reward to a set of monster kills. You can also acquire valuable items and useful equipment.

Eden Group Leveling Quests

The Eden Group Leveling Quests are a great place to start. Each character can undertake these quests after joining the Eden Group.

Weekly Turn Ins (Gramps)

Each week, there are Weekly Turn-In Events offered. These quests normally require a party to complete with, and often other players will be recruiting for anyone to join their party. These are for level ranges 70-100, 101-125, and 126-150. The Gramps NPC in Eden First Floor offers these quests to each character. Many players, especially ones playing support characters, will do these turn ins all the way to level 150/50. However, this leveling spots page does list some recommendations for more solo oriented characters or players to level at solo or with a small party.

Note: Many players seem to believe this is the best place to level. However, that is not always the case. It is highly recommended to try new areas, focusing on bounty boards and spotlights.

Bounty Board Quests

The Bounty Board Quests offer repeatable quests starting from base level 1 and go up to 175. These quests offer a suitable amount of monster kills for players to both solo or party.

Bounty boards are a great way to explore different maps and earn zenny / merit badges in the process. They are also great for staying in a monster's level range without having to do extra research.

Tip: You can't start a bounty if you're level is too high but you can still turn it in of the quest is already active.

EXP Quests

Some regular quests also provide EXP reward. Some are repeatable, while others are one time only. For more information, please see the Quest Table page.

Leveling Tactics

Every character starts off by auto-attacking (ctrl-click, or clicking with /nc activated) monsters. As the character gains job levels to acquire skills with, they can start to utilize new skills for more efficient combat and overall damage.

General Tactics

Newer players often choose an AGI oriented build for leveling (does not apply to Mages of course), as it is more potion-friendly and uses less funds and supplies in general. AGI oriented builds focus on faster ASPD for meleeing monsters, and relies on some degree of FLEE to avoid getting damaged altogether. It is recommended for AGI builds to avoid maps with aggressive monsters.

NOTE: New players (particularly ones who want to play the Mage, Acolyte class) should build a character that will help financially (Thief, Merchant) before transitioning into their main class. Playing a mage can be difficult and expensive, while playing a thief can be cheap and easy. A thief class is also more versatile and will be able to hunt well in more areas than an inexperienced mage.

Conversely, more experienced or well-funded players tend to choose a VIT oriented build, and will choose to use AoE skills on aggressive monsters. Note that in the higher levels, VIT should not be viewed as the "opposite" of AGI. Many builds can often utilize both stats, and higher level characters always utilize VIT for survivability, and AGI becomes more of a offensive / status resist stat instead of a defensive stat, which is still important.

Aggressive Monster Tactics

Aggressive (also referred to as "aggro") monsters are monsters that will automatically target and attack the player. Passive monsters, the opposite of aggro monsters, do not attack the player unless the player hits them or uses a skill on them first. Generally, aggro monsters are good for quick leveling by mobbing them up and using AoE skills. This leveling tactic is more expensive and will require much use of Healing Items however, and new players may not be able to afford them. Players can also use Fly Wings to locate mobs quicker.

Equipment

Equipment is obviously an important part of improving the effectiveness of a character in battle. Eden Group Equipments Quests are a great place for new players to start off with, as the equipment is free. Once the player is more comfortable with gameplay and has more funds, they can start looking into more advanced gears. Some general gear recommendations are in the Equipment article.

Memo-able Maps

Acolytes are able to memo a map, and warp back to it with the Warp Portal skill. This lets a player to quickly go back to the leveling area. Non-Acolyte characters obviously will not be able to do this. However, many veteran players can have a second account with an Acolyte in it that can memo a particular map, and warp the character they are leveling to the map. Having a map memo-ed is great for when a (low Weight Limit) character has to restock supplies, or if choosing to use an inn for full HP / SP recovery. Some players may find themselves leveling quick enough that they are already out of the level range of the map before they need to restock however.

Map Recommendations

Map recommendations are sorted by the level a character can start leveling at a certain map (15 levels below the highest level common monster). Max level is determined by 20 levels (penalty) above the lowest level common monster.

Class-Specific Maps

Acolyte characters using Heal on Undead to level will have limited maps to choose from. Certain classes may also take advantage of other tactics to level as well. Archers and Mages can use ranged / ranged magic attacks to snipe immobile monsters. Mages can also level off only passive monsters that do not have the cast-sensor attribute with a skill that has a long cast time, but can one-shot the monster.

Acolyte / Priest Heal Bomb Maps

"Healing" an Undead element monster to death is also known as "Heal Bombing". Note that Undead is also the name of a race and this can be confusing. For a complete list of Undead element monsters, using a monster database (like http://db.irowiki.org/ Monster Search) is highly recommended. For any support oriented Acolyte / Priest characters, usually it is much easier to party with one friend and share the EXP. For more information on the Heal skill, please see the Heal article.

A Priest skill, Turn Undead which can only be used on Undead element monsters, has the chance to insta-kill. This can be applied to the following maps as well.

Upon learning the Priest skill, Magnus Exorcismus, this allows you to defeat any monster that isn't Holy element, this also deals extra damage to Undead and Demon race, as well as Undead and Shadow property enemies. This is a very reliable AoE Priests, High Priests, and even Arch Bishops have. For more information, please see the Magnus Exorcismus article.

Archer / Mage / Ninja Sniping Maps

Certain monsters (usually plants) are immobile. This is a great advantage for new Archer and Mage players, as these classes have ranged attacks or skills, and can "snipe" these monsters while being out of the monster's range. The monster will not be able to hit the character and the character will sustain no damage. Positioning right outside of the monster's range is important of course. An Archer can simply use their regular attacks (ctrl-click, or clicking with /nc activated) on these monsters, or use a skill such as Double Strafe. Mages will have to use a ranged skill such as Fire Bolt or Cold Bolt. Ninjas have their own skills they can use to snipe as well.

For a complete list of immobile monsters, using a monster database (like http://db.irowiki.org/ Monster Search) is highly recommended.

Map	Min. Level	Max Level	Aggressive?	Memo?	Monsters	Access	Notes
Geffen Field 04	1	33	Some	Yes	Mandragora	One map north of Geffen	Mandragoras have a range of four cells. If the character moves too close by accident, the Mandragora will attack as it aggressive.
Beach Dungeon 3	15	48	Some	Yes	Hydra	One map east of Comodo	Hydras have a longer range than Mandragoras, making them difficult to snipe at times, but they provide a good run- in for lightning Mages and Ninjas. Thara Frogs and Megaladons can make decent later prey as you level up.
Payon Forest 10	40	75	Some	Yes	Greatest General	One map south, two maps east of Payon	Greatest Generals have a range of three cells, but are known to use ranged spells. Be careful of Eddga.
