First Steps - By Mag

Step 1: Get Freebies!

talking with the vending machine near the main square in Prontera (139, 225) will give you an angra manyu weapon and 2 manuals. the angra is a powerful equip that gives a very high atk without any need to invest in str points and heals us by the same amount of damage we deal with physical attacks, everyone should grab this piece as soon as they inted to level up. do note that this particular version of angra has a limited time duration of one week and will disappear after it expires, still it's plenty enough time to level up at the very least one character up to max level.

Step 2: Novice

reach job level 10 with novice class-> quite literally kill 4-5 porings south of prontera (@go 0) and this step is easily achieved. once done, go back to Prontera to job up into whatever class you wish to pick going forward

Step 3: First Class Up To

You need (at least) level 40 job -> add some points to dex stat, about 40 should be more than enough for now and head to @go 14, exit outside the nearby warp and kill mi gao monsters. those are slow moving enemies that gives a good chunk of both basic and job experience, you can easily stay here until level 40 job, then go back to advance into the second class of your choice

Step 4: Road to 99/50

In order to advance to our rebirth state we need to reach level 99 basic and 50 job. a good way to get this done is to go back to mi gao from the previous step to quickly rack up about 30 job levels and some more basic ones as well before venturing into sphynx dungeon lv 4 and hunt for anubis. those will be the first "decently strong" monsters we'll have to fight but with the angra they will be no match for us, we can easily stay here farming them untill the desired level. at this point we should have quite a few stat points to use and bringing dex up to 80 is a good idea as well as moving any other point into agility to increase our attack speed.

Step 5: Rebirth

Once reached 99/50 we can go back and rebirth into high novice, we get 100 bonus stat points that should go all invested in dex, then head to payon dungeon 1 and kill 1-2 skeletons to immediately reach high novice lv10 and back to Prontera again to class up into high-whateverclass you picked

Step 6: High

This time, we need to attain level 50 job before doing our final class up, 40 won't be enough as we'd lose on 10 skill points if we rush it. Go back to mi gao @go 14 and spend some minutes here killing them until level 50 job. it's a safe spot for leveling and you should have no troubles here

Step 7: Last Class Up

Once attained level 50 you can class up into the final rebirthed class and from here the level cap will be 255 base and 120 job. there are 2 possible routes to follow from this point onward
