Where to level
Tap a level range to jump to it. Each card shows the map, the monsters (with their level, HP and the element they are weak to), how to get there with the free Warper, and which classes do best.
prt_fild08Prontera South Field
Getting there: Walk out of Prontera's south gate, or use the free Warper: Fields → Prontera Fields → Prontera Field 8.
Your first hunting ground after the Training Grounds. Porings and Lunatics are slow and weak: hit them until you reach Job Level 10, then change job.
pay_fild08Payon Forest 8
Getting there: Free Warper: Fields → Payon Forests → Payon Forest 8.
Spores give great EXP for new first jobs. Grab a few Red Potions first.
prt_sewb1Prontera Culvert 1
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Culverts → Culverts - Lvl 1.
Lots of Thief Bug Eggs that don't fight back: easy EXP for melee classes.
prt_fild07Prontera Rocker Field
Getting there: Free Warper: Fields → Prontera Fields → Prontera Field 7.
Rockers are the classic Job EXP spot right after your job change. They are Earth, so Fire attacks hurt them most.
pay_dun00Payon Dungeon 1
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Payon Dungeon → Payon Dungeon - Lvl 1.
Skeletons and Zombies are Undead: Acolytes (Heal hurts Undead), Mages with Fire Bolt and Swordmen with a Fire weapon do great here.
moc_fild18Sograt Desert 18
Getting there: Free Warper: Fields → Sograt Deserts → Sograt Desert 18.
Mukas are slow Earth cactuses: Fire Bolt and Fire arrows clear them fast, and they give good Job EXP.
pay_fild02Payon Forest 2 (Wolves)
Getting there: Free Warper: Fields → Payon Forests → Payon Forest 2.
Wolves are one of the best Job EXP monsters before Level 40. They come in packs, so don't pull too many at once.
cmd_fild01Comodo Field 1
Getting there: Free Warper: Fields → Comodo Fields → Comodo Field 1.
Poison Spores for ranged classes. Keep your distance and kite. Alligators (Lv 42) hit hard: leave them for later.
orcsdun01Orc Dungeon
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Orc Dungeon → Orc Dungeon - Lvl 1.
Orc Zombies come in big groups. Fire and Holy wreck them. One of the best spots for a small party.
mjolnir_04Mjolnir Field 4
Getting there: Free Warper: Fields → Mjolnir Fields → Mjolnir Field 4.
Mantis and Flora with plenty of loot to sell. Argiopes (Lv 41) are poisonous, so bring Green Potions.
gef_fild10Geffen Orc Village
Getting there: Free Warper: Fields → Geffen Fields → Geffen Field 10.
Orc Ladies and Orc Warriors: steady Base and Job EXP, and the Orc Lord appears here now and then.
iz_dun02Byalan Dungeon 3
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Byalan Dungeon → Byalan Dungeon - Lvl 3.
All Water monsters: Wind attacks such as Lightning Bolt or Wind arrows do double damage. Hydras don't move, so don't stand next to them.
pay_dun02Payon Dungeon 3
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Payon Dungeon → Payon Dungeon - Lvl 3.
Munaks and Bonguns are Undead and hit lightly. A Priest or a Fire weapon makes this a fast level.
gef_dun01Geffen Dungeon 2
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Geffen Dungeon → Geffen Dungeon - Lvl 2.
Jakk, Ghouls and Nightmares. Ghouls are Undead and slow; Nightmares are Ghost, so bring Holy or Ghost attacks.
ein_fild04Einbroch Field 4 (Geographers)
Getting there: Free Warper: Fields → Einbroch Fields → Einbroch Field 4.
Geographers don't move and give great EXP: Fire attacks from range finish them safely. Don't stand next to them, they hit hard and heal each other.
ein_fild01Einbroch Field 1
Getting there: Free Warper: Fields → Einbroch Fields → Einbroch Field 1.
Punks and Demon Pungus give strong EXP for their HP. Punks are Wind: use Earth attacks.
gl_churchGlast Heim St. Abbey
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Glast Heim → Glast Heim - St.Abbey.
Evil Druids and Ghouls are Undead. A Priest's Magnus Exorcismus or a Wizard's Fire skills clear the room quickly.
tha_t01Thanatos Tower 1
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Thanatos Tower → Thanatos Tower - Lvl 1.
Rideword, Plasma and Alice: high EXP, but they hit hard. Go as a party.
gl_knt01Glast Heim Chivalry
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Glast Heim → Glast Heim - Chivalry 1.
Raydrics are Shadow: Holy and Fire attacks work best. Abysmal Knights (Lv 79) hit very hard: avoid them until you are strong.
mag_dun01Magma Dungeon
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Magma Dungeon → Magma Dungeon - Lvl 1.
Everything here is Fire: Water attacks (Cold Bolt, Frost Diver, Water arrows) do double damage.
juperos_01Juperos
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Juperos Dungeons → Juperos Dungeons - Lvl 1.
Venatu everywhere: one of the best Base EXP maps for strong characters and parties.
abbey01Cursed Abbey
Getting there: Free Warper: Dungeons → Abbey, Cursed Monastery → Abbey, Cursed Monastery - Lvl 1.
Almost everything is Undead: a party with a Priest farms huge Base EXP here. Very dangerous alone.
Tips by class
| Class | Best early spots | How to level faster |
|---|---|---|
| Swordman | Culvert, Rockers, Wolves, Orc Dungeon | Max HP Recovery means fewer potions. Use a Fire weapon against Undead and Earth monsters. |
| Mage | Mukas, Payon Dungeon, Byalan Dungeon | Pick the bolt the monster is weak to: Fire Bolt on Undead and Earth, Lightning Bolt on Water, Cold Bolt on Fire. |
| Archer | Payon Forest, Mukas, Comodo Field | Keep your distance and use element arrows. Fire arrows for Earth and Undead, Wind arrows for Water. |
| Acolyte | Payon Dungeon, Orc Dungeon | Heal damages Undead monsters. Great as a party healer, which earns shared EXP too. |
| Thief | Culvert, Rockers, Wolves | AGI lets you dodge most hits. Hunt where monsters attack one at a time. |
| Merchant | Culvert, Mjolnir Field 4 | Discount and Overcharge turn every drop into extra zeny for better gear. |
Party leveling
- Set your party to Even Share EXP. Everyone in the party gets EXP from every kill.
- Even Share works when the highest and lowest level in the party are no more than 15 levels apart.
- A healer plus a damage dealer in a dungeon is much faster than hunting alone, especially from Level 40.
Don't die: the EXP penalty
Base level and Job level
- Novice: change to a first job at Job Level 10. See Classes & Jobs.
- First job: you can change to a second job from Job Level 40. Waiting until Job 50 gives you more skill points to spend.
- Base level makes you stronger (stats); Job level gives you skill points. Both go up from every kill.
- Exact EXP numbers for every level are in Leveling & EXP tables.
Questions
Monsters are too strong for me. Go back one spot. A monster at or a little below your level gives the best EXP for the time.
I'm out of potions and zeny. Sell monster loot to any NPC shop, use the free Healer, and claim your Level-Up Packs.
Can I level while I'm away? Only with the built-in Autoplay. Outside programs are not allowed and get accounts banned.
