Only a few exceptions exist, such as [[Acolyte]] [[Heal]]-bombing, and [[Archer]]s and [[Mage]]s sniping immobile monsters. The old page has been relocated [[Leveling_Spots/Old|here]].

=== 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.

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


The [[Bounty Board Quests]] offer repeatable quests starting from base level 20 and go up to 150. These quests offer a suitable amount of monster kills for players to both solo or party.
* Do the [[Episode One]] quest line both pre-and-post [[Rebirth]]
* Do the [[World Boss]] event
* Do [[Regional_Quests#Kunlun|Kunlun]] daily quests (also of note on that page: Glast Heim, Louyang, Amatsu, Einbroch)


=== 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 [[Mage]]s 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.
 
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 [[stat]]s, 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 {{item | id=601 Fly Wings}} to locate mobs quicker.
 
=== Equipment ===
 
[[Equipment]] is obviously an important part of improving the effectiveness of a character in battle. Some general gear recommendations are in the [[Equipment]] article and [[Kingdom Guild]] Gear Exchange. Once the player is more comfortable with gameplay and has more funds, they can start looking into more advanced gears.
 
=== Memo-able Maps ===
 
[[Acolyte]]s 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 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! :)

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:

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! :)

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.
