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.

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.

Efficient Leveling Path

If you're looking to level relatively quickly, here are some recommendations:

• Do the Episode One quest line -- you can do this quest once prior to Rebirth and then once more after Rebirth
• Do the World Boss event
• Do Kunlun daily quests (also of note on the Regional Quests page: Glast Heim, Louyang, Amatsu, Hugel, Einbroch)

Map Recommendations

Map recommendations are sorted by the max level a character can level at the map at. Max level is determined by 10 levels (penalty) above the lowest level common monster. Depending on your gear/class you can start leveling earlier at some places. General rule of thumb is that when the EXP gets too slow for your liking, try moving on to different maps and explore! :)

You can refer to the table below for recommendations or you can also refer to the World Map in-game and pressing Tab to bring up the monster level overview per map.

Take a look at the quests from Eden Group and hunt monsters for hourly turn-in quests.

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 our Monster Database 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, also can only be used on Undead element monsters. This can be applied to the following maps as well.

Map	Max Level	Aggressive?	Memo?	Monsters	Access	Notes
Payon Cave 1, Payon Cave 2, Payon Cave 3	69	Some	No	Undead element monsters	Fourth level of Payon Cave. Entrance to the cave is one map north of Payon	Some aggro monsters can not be hurt with Heal. It is recommended to bring a melee weapon like a mace, and switch to it (with a hotkey) to kill these monsters.
Beach Dungeon 3	56	Some	Yes	Megalodon	One map east of Comodo	An alternative to Payon Cave.
Orc Dungeon 01 (OD1)	63	Yes (almost all)	Can memo at Orc Village entrance	Orc Zombie, Orc Skeleton	Entrance is at top left of Orc Village	Very mobby map. Can teleport away if surrounded by too many monsters.
Glast Heim St. Abbey	90	Yes	Can memo at entrance	Evil Druid, Wraith	One map north, three maps west of Geffen, then enter from the bottom middle entrance.	Also has a few mimics in the map. It is recommended to teleport away from these and can avoid them completely instead of killing them.
Glast Heim Churchyard	108	Yes	Can memo at entrance to St. Abbey, and walk one level	Dark Priest	One map north, three maps west of Geffen, then enter from the bottom middle entrance. Next, enter the portal on the bottom right.	Dark Priests have high HP and may take a few hits to kill.

Archer / Mage 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.

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