Leveling Guide
Every EXP bonus, where to hunt from level 1 to 400, and why a party is the fastest way up.
With your first resets, VIP Gold, an Agusan Spirit and a full party of 10, level 1 to 400 can take about 8 minutes. Alone and on a free account, plan on about 1 hour 20 minutes. Below is how it all adds up, so you can pick the fastest way for you.
Everything that gives more EXP
The bonuses multiply each other, so stacking them adds up fast.
| Bonus | EXP | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Free account | 500x | Everyone |
| VIP Bronze / Silver / Gold | 600x / 675x / 750x | Item Mall > VIP (the whole account) |
| Resets 0 - 4 | × 2 (200%) | Your first 5 levelings to the reset level |
| Resets 5 - 14 / 15 - 29 / 30+ | 100% / 70% / 50% | It gets harder as you reset more |
| Agusan Spirit (EXP pet) | +10% | First Top-up Step 1, Adventure Path |
| Horse Mayari / Kidlat | +20% | In the Horse slot (Daily Recharge / Item Mall) |
| Halloween pet (event) | +15% | One free pet per account until Nov 2, it lasts 5 days |
| Guild Technology "Hunter's Instinct" | up to +5% | Your guild's Technology, after 3 days in the guild |
| Party of 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 | 125% / 150% / 175% / 200% | Every kill, for every member (see below) |
| Party of 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 | 204% / 208% / 213% / 218% / 222% | Every member on the new game version (see the Party Guide) |
| Happy Hour | +50% | Every day 12:00 and 20:00, for 60 minutes |
| Weekend | +30% | All day Saturday and Sunday |
| Blood Castle / Devil Square | your account rate | Big EXP reward at the end of the event |
- Happy Hour on a weekend = ×1.5 × 1.3 = almost double EXP. Plan your long hunts for Saturday and Sunday at 12:00 and 20:00.
- The VIP channel (Agusan 3) has the same EXP as Agusan 1. Its advantage is fewer players: more monsters for you.
- VIP also lowers your reset level: Free 400, Bronze 390, Silver 380, Gold 370.
How long to level 400 (alone)
Estimates from the server's own EXP formula, for resets 0 - 4, hunting the best monsters you can at each level. “Kills a minute” is how fast you kill: 20 is a normal hunt, 30 is a strong area attack (Dark Wizard, Elf with a good bow).
| Account | 10 kills / min | 20 kills / min | 30 kills / min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 2 h 35 min | 1 h 18 min | 52 min |
| Free + Agusan Spirit | 2 h 24 min | 1 h 12 min | 48 min |
| VIP Bronze + Spirit | 2 h 4 min | 1 h 2 min | 41 min |
| VIP Gold + Spirit | 1 h 44 min | 52 min | 35 min |
| VIP Gold + Spirit + Happy Hour | 1 h 19 min | 39 min | 26 min |
After 4 resets the reset bonus goes away. At 20 kills a minute:
| Resets | Free | VIP Gold + Spirit |
|---|---|---|
| 0 - 4 | 1 h 18 min | 52 min |
| 5 - 14 | 2 h 23 min | 1 h 31 min |
| 15 - 29 | 3 h 19 min | 2 h 5 min |
| 30+ | 4 h 37 min | 2 h 50 min |
Real times change with your gear, your class and how busy the map is. One kill can give at most one level, so the first levels always take a few minutes.
Where to hunt, level 1 to 400
The monster's level is what counts. The number after each monster is its level. A monster gives the most EXP while it is no more than 10 levels below you. After that it gives less, so always hunt the highest-level monster you can kill fast.
| Level | Map and monsters |
|---|---|
| 1 - 40 | Lorencia / Noria Bull Fighter (6), Hound (9), Elite Bull Fighter (12), Lich (14), Giant (17), Skeleton (19). Elves: Hunter (13), Agon (16), Stone Golem (18) |
| 40 - 80 | Dungeon / Devias Ghost (32), Hell Hound (38), Hell Spider (40), Thunder Lich (44), Dark Knight (48). Devias: Yeti (30), Elite Yeti (36) |
| 80 - 130 | Lost Tower / Atlans Shadow (47), Cursed Wizard (54), Devil (60), Death Gorgon (64). Atlans: Valkyrie (46), Great Bahamut (66), Lizard King (70) |
| 130 - 220 | Atlans 3 / Tarkan Hydra (74), Mutant (72), Bloody Wolf (76), Iron Wheel (80), Tantalos (83) |
| 220 - 400 | Tarkan / Icarus Beam Knight (84), Zaikan (90), Death Beam Knight (93). Icarus: Drakan (86), Alpha Crust (92), Phantom Knight (96), Great Drakan (100) |
- Icarus needs wings or a Dinorant. The 1st wing comes from the Chaos Machine, or from First Top-up Step 3.
- From level 110, every monster gives a bit less. The top monsters (Death Beam Knight, Phantom Knight, Great Drakan) stay the best to the end.
- Join Blood Castle (every even hour) and Devil Square (every odd hour) whenever you can: their end reward is a lot of EXP at your account rate.
Party leveling: the fastest way (recommended)
In a party, every monster any member kills gives EXP to every member who is on the same map and close to it (about 10 steps). On top of that, each kill is worth more than alone:
| Party | EXP per kill, for EACH member |
|---|---|
| Alone | 100% |
| 2 players | 125% |
| 3 players | 150% |
| 4 players | 175% |
| 5 players | 200% |
| 6 players | 204% |
| 7 players | 208% |
| 8 players | 213% |
| 9 players | 218% |
| 10 players | 222% |
In a party but with no member near you: only 50%. Stay together, or leave the party for a solo hunt.
So 10 players hunting together each get more than double EXP for every kill of the whole party. Level 1 to 400 (resets 0 - 4), with everyone hunting the same spot:
| Party | Free | VIP Gold + Spirit | Resets 15+, VIP Gold + Spirit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alone | 1 h 18 min | 52 min | 2 h 5 min |
| 2 players | 43 min | 30 min | 1 h 8 min |
| 3 players | 28 min | 20 min | 44 min |
| 4 players | 22 min | 16 min | 34 min |
| 5 players | 18 min | 13 min | 28 min |
| 6 players | 16 min | 12 min | 25 min |
| 8 players | 13 min | 9 min | 20 min |
| 10 players | 11 min | 8 min | 17 min |
The party times guess that the party kills 30 (2 players), 50 (5 players) and 75 (10 players) monsters a minute together - a crowded spot can have fewer monsters than that.
Party tips
- Stay close. Only members on the same map and near the monster get its EXP. Hunt the same spot, not different corners of the map.
- Keep your levels close. The EXP is shared by level: a level 50 player in a level 300 party gets only a small part. The best party is 5 to 10 players within about 50 levels of each other.
- Mix the classes. A Dark Wizard or a Magic Gladiator kills groups, a Dark Knight holds the monsters, an Elf heals and buffs everyone (more damage and defense = faster kills).
- Use the Party Finder (PC: P, phone: the Party button) to find players at your level on any channel, or make a party with your guild. More in the Party Guide.
- Party + Happy Hour + Weekend + Agusan Spirit all stack. This is the fastest leveling in the game.
More tips
- Add your points after every level (
/str 10and the like): more damage means more kills a minute, and kills a minute is the biggest number in these tables. - Turn on Auto Combat and Auto Loot: you keep hunting while the server picks up the jewels and Zen.
- The Teleport Package takes you straight to the quest and party spots.
- Reset as soon as you can during your first 4 resets: the 200% bonus makes those the fastest levels you will ever get.
- Upgrading your weapon (Jewel of Bless, Jewel of Soul) raises your damage: see the Combat Power Guide.
