* Using {{#skill:2612}} and {{#skill:5418}} helps a lot in field farming (confirmed at Z1/Z2, D2, Nif2 Bio Temple) for SP and HP problems. For {{#skill:5418}} you should raise your {{#skill:5416}} skill and CRT for greater effect. (Credit to '''Micha''' (4/Sep/2025) for this Hot Tip)

= Sophie's Industrious Alts Mass Production Recommendation (WH) =
Not going to be your typical leveling guide, because this approach will prioritize:
* Enable sharing non-core Equipment among characters of different classes Alts Mass Production (coming soon) as much as possible, while only core items for WH will be highlighted on this guide.
* Monotonous, but will be predictable. Important because this leveling is a not chill routine, but more like 30 minutes of triathlons
* Not cost conscious, though time and stress speaking it is worth it if you plan to make more than, say, 10-15 characters of various jobs (just switch out the core item) each reaching lvl 250. I will explicitly say it here that basically you are investing in multiples of low level gears, which cumulatively in total may worth up to hundreds of millions zeny just to save time around 30 minutes to 2h per character creation and leveling up to lvl 250. Only do this when you're theoretically losing more potential value from that lost of time farming.
Undergoing Assumptions:
* Exp Event ongoing and you use the {{#item:7803}} (very important for efficiency). When {{#item:7803}} expires you will use {{#item:12411}} or {{#item:100351}}
* You spend on episode ticket 16, 17.1, and 17.2.
* You are using Guyak Pudding(very important), Eden Food buff separately / {{#item:50035}} / or at the very least {{#item:23204}}. Teleport items, infinite fly wing, fly wing, or creamy card is mandatory.
* Is leveling up single character only per attempt (different methods might be needed for mass leveling multiple chars). And that you One Hit or Two Hit most if not all mobs listed on all maps on the Steps part.
* You have done your research, mastered the basic (I leave it to your wisdom to decide which level range you want which non-core equipment will be worn and what equipment you will skip), and that you have invested and plan well for item progressions each level range, e.g.:
** +9/+11 {{#item:400023}} combo with {{#item:490099}} or its derivatives (red/blue but not really recommended unless you need HP/SP leech early and you don't need acd% this early) starting at level 1.
** Temporal boots and manteaus for level 100 and up.
** Illusions set starting at level 120/130 up to 150/160.
** Convertible wings/Celine Set/Automatic/FWM/EDDA set starting at level 150/160/170.
** Grey Wolf set starting at level 190.
** MVP equips (e.g. PCC)/Good and Evil set starting at level 200/205.
** Varmundts pieces/Glacier set starting at level 230.
* Other methods out there might be more efficient and effective than mine, I just don't know it yet so be adaptable and don't treat this guide as if written in stone. Mine is expected to reach level 230-250 in around 30 min, and 250 in around to 1-2h depending on your performance and investment level.
Non-core Equipment will not be specifically named on the phases below (this is not a newbie guide), you will just have to do the best with what you currently possess. Though result may vary if your non-core equipment are far too weaker compared to the original assumption.
=== Phase 1: lvl 1 to post-Rebirth lvl 100 ===
Primary Skill: {{#skill:47}}
Core item:
{{#item:1702}} with 4x {{#item:27361}}
Steps:
1. Payon Dungeon + Eden Quest, don't claim yet.
2. Orc Dungeon + Eden Quest, don't claim yet.
3. Amatsu Dungeon + Eden Quest, don't claim yet.
4. Keep hitting either Orc Dungeon 2 mobs or the kill Novus outside Abyss Lake (is also Eden Quest) until Rebirth.
5. Rebirth and kill mobs on Payon Dungeon until you change class into high archer, then start to claim Eden Quests as you progress.
6. Repeat Step 2, 3, and 4 and accumulate claimable Eden Quests but do not claim yet until job change to Job 3.
=== Phase 2: lvl 100 Job 3 to lvl 200 ===
Primary Skill: {{#skill:2233}} (AS)-> Aim to reduce 0.3 seconds fixed casting time. Ignis cap + virtual bow combo eliminates the skill cooldown making it very spammable.
Core item:
*+9~+11 {{#item:18110}} with 2x {{#item:27361}} at lvl 100.
*+9~+11 {{#item:400022}} and +9~+11 {{#item:18178}} with 2x {{#item:27361}} at lvl 130. Recommended setup is either +11 {{#item:400022}} combined with cheaper {{#item:1000521}} or +9 {{#item:400022}} combined with more expensive {{#item:1000522}}. Or source the fixed cast time reduction from other items such as Illusion Sprint Mail + Shoes Set combo at +22 total refinement.
*+9~+11 {{#item:400266}} (upgrade hammer exist) with 2x {{#item:700054}} or Yormi-Scalleg combo at lvl 170. Economically not really recommended though because the gain is miniscule to unreformed version but gain is a gain and there's no other better bows until Gale Storm is spammable reliably.
Steps:
1. Claim previously stacked Eden Quests.
2. Do and claim Illusion of Moonlight until lvl 150.
3. Do and claim Illusion of Teddy Bear until you are strong enough for Illusion of Twins.
4. Do and claim Illusion of Twins until lvl 190.
5. Do and claim Varmundt's Powerplant2 until job 4. Should be viable if your AS is strong and spammable enough, otherwise just do Illusion of Twins until you get into job 4.
6. (optional, credit to Mango's guide [[Mango%27s_guide_to_leveling_and_farming_with_SA|Mango's guide to leveling and farming with SA]]) ) At lvl 180 do Thanatos Fragments quest from Daily Hunts NPC, buy 10 each of these {{#item:7436}}, {{#item:7437}}, {{#item:7438}} and {{#item:7439}}.
=== Phase 3: Job 4 lvl 200 to 250 and beyond===
Primary Skill: {{#skill:2233}} (early levels), {{#skill:5330}}
Core item: {{#item:19484}} with acute and +9 {{#item:700052}} fully enchanted at level 230. Get one with 1st slot enchant Gale Storm if you can. Other enchantments could be double elements and physical(ATK).
Steps:
1. Do and claim Powerplant 2 until you are lvl 230. The Eden coin side farming is nice.
2. Do and claim Amiticia 2 until you are 240.
3. Do and claim either Biosphere Glade (if you can OH the Pegasus and all the other mobs) or Biosphere Death (still have to OH all mobs). Otherwise do nif2 as you are farming while leveling up (will be slower).
4. You are at maximum power at lvl 250 able to wield any equipment (e.g. your main character's best equipment). D1 or D2 runs would be great at this point provided you are in a good company. Otherwise solo is only recommended if you know what you are doing.
