The Road to a Billion Zeny - Newbie Leveling/Farming Guide

Introduction

This is a general guide on leveling and farming, aimed at new players making their first character on this server.

For class-specific guides, check out the User Guides

ATTENTION: This guide is a work in progress. You might come across sections that seem unfinished or even outright empty. Be assured that I am actively working on this guide and making regular edits and additions.

You can see what I'm working on right now at the bottom of the page.

Last update: July 07, 2025.

Preparation

Merchant Accounts

Have at least 5 to 12+ alt merchant accounts ready to go before you start. You don't need to populate them for now, you will create and level up Merchant characters as you go, according to your needs.

Having many merchant accounts is not overkill, because you will cap your cart's weight limit very fast with all the 984.png Oridecon (984) and 985.png Elunium (985) you'll be farming in the early game.

Useful Links

Keep these open in your browser for quick reference:

Turbo

In the left-hand pane of the launcher, you can click "Turbo Setup" to open the turbo config file. In that file, you can choose which keys act as turbo keys. It's F1/F2/F3 by default, but you can change those and/or add more if you wish. Do your wrists a favor and use make use of Turbo mode. It's absolutely essential for long farming sessions.

For more information on Turbo Mode: Patcher#Turbo Setup

Gray Map

This is another setting that can be enabled in the launcher, by clicking the "Gray Map On" checkbox right under the Turbo Setup. This replaces your environment models and textures with gray tiles, resulting in 2 advantages: faster loading (important for fast TPing around the map) and visual clarity, making it easier to see which tiles you can and can't cross.

Custom Shortcuts

In game, press Alt+M to open the custom shortcut menu. Feel free to populate it with your favorite @ commands. Here are a few suggestions:

Command Info
@go main Warps to main office for job changing and stat/skill resetting.
@go eden Warps to Eden Group for quests, gear, and consumables.
@al 100 Sets autoloot to 100% (loot everything). Billionaires don't leave loot on the floor.
@lastwarp Warps back to the last place you warped to from the NPC (does not include @go commands). Return faster to your farming spot!
@storeall Dumps your entire inventory (except for the favorites tab) into your storage.
@getall Dumps your entire storage into your inventory (as much as your weight limit allows).
@go 50 Warps to the refinement/grading/enchantment hub.
@go paramk Warps to the paramarket, where you can find vendors for all sorts of useful things.
@channel leave #global Turns off global chat so you can focus on farming.
@channel join #global Take a break from farming to meme around.
@nodrop Hides items on the ground, preventing you from accidentally clicking on them and wasting valuable time.
@noattack Stops you from auto-attacking monsters by clicking on them.
@lpg Activates LGP. See here for details: Player Commands#Client featuring commands

The Most Important Rule

If you want to make good use of your time, remember this rule and obey it always:

Leveling

1 to 100

  • Do not skip the first part of the intro/tutorial quest. It's a quick completion and rewards a 7803.png Novice Battle Manual (7803)
  • Hit eggs in ant hell to level 40, then bonk Orcs in Orc dungeon to level 70, then take the Glast Heim -> 15x Wraith & 15x Evil Druid quest from the level 70 Eden board, and repeat it to 99
  • Do the same thing again for your rebirth, except this time you also take the Einbroch -> 20x Pitman quest and farm up 15x 7318.png Old Pick (7318)
  • As you near level 99 Rebirth, go to (ra_fild06 , ) to kill some Kobolds and gather 3x 1034.png Blue Hair (1034) , then go to (um_fild03 , ) to loot 15x 7200.png Elastic Band (7200) from Wootan Shooters
  • At level 100, go trade your 7318.png Old Pick (7318) , 1034.png Blue Hair (1034) , and 7200.png Elastic Band (7200) for an advanced weapon and armor set (in the same room where you got the original Eden equipment)

100 to 200

  • Do the Illusion Dungeon quest for Illusion of Moonlight, then Illusion of Vampire.
  • Talk to the 130-190 Eden board and take both quests for Lasagna Dungeon (Above lv 130 -> 60x monsters in lasa_dun02 and Above lv 140 -> 120x monsters in lasa_dun03). USE YOUR 12264.png [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) ! Farm these until you have a comfortable amount of 25223.png Eden Coin (25223) , and you should also have a bunch of 607.png Yggdrasil Berry (607) , 985.png Elunium (985) and 984.png Oridecon (984) to transfer to your merchant for vending.
  • Use your 25223.png Eden Coin (25223) to buy some 23204.png Brilliant Protection Scroll (23204) and 12883.png Almighty (12883) , and farm Illusion of Vampire and/or Illusion of Teddy Bear until you hit 200.
  • Keep your 12263.png [Bound] Battle Manual (12263) active at all times, and if you farm in Vampire or Teddy Bear, also keep 12264.png [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) active. When you get low on 25223.png Eden Coin (25223) , return to Lasagna.

200+

  • Level up just a little bit more (target: 210) in the highest Illusion Dungeon you can manage with 23204.png Brilliant Protection Scroll (23204) and 12883.png Almighty (12883) , then use some of your hard-earned zeny to transition out of your Eden gear into the start of your mid-game gear. Which specific pieces of gear depend on your class, but pretty much everyone starts with a Glacier Weapon (Issgard_Equipment#Glacier_Weapons_(Melee_and_Bows)). Refer to the guides here for class-specific gearing advice (or you can always ask in the class channels on the Discord).
  • (Optional) Complete Episode 17.1 (17.1 Illusion) (or buy the skip ticket) and purchase a Grace set.
  • (Optional) Farm in Illusion of Twins. Many classes can use the gear from there as solid transitional options into the mid-game. Use the refine boxes until you get a +10, then you can either keep the gear (make it +11 with 6225.png HD Carnium (6225) for enchanting) or exchange them for 6232.png Safe to +9 Armor Certificate (6232) , which you can combine into 6994.png Safe to +10 Armor Certificate (6994) (Armor_Weapon_Tickets#How_to_Get_Refine_Tickets). These are good sellers, or you can use them yourself on your future Gray Wolf equipment (18 Direction of Prayer#Gray Wolf Armor), if you decide to go that route.
  • note: currently, it's also viable to create Weapon Certificates instead of Armor ones, as people making their Time Gap weapons will need them. (valid as of May 10, 2025. revise later if needed)
  • Once you've got your early game gear sorted, finish leveling to 250 in Abyss 4 (don't forget the Eden/Daily quests as well).
  • At 250, you want to switch your focus to farming. Levels will come as you farm, but there is currently no piece of equipment with a level requirement higher than 250, so you're good to go.

Farming Billions of Zeny

Introduction

Eden Coins

The first step to becoming a billionaire is a solid stock of 25223.png Eden Coin (25223) with which to buy consumables, namely 12264.png [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) .

  • Prior to level 100, there aren't any really good dedicated farming spots for Eden Coins, and you should be focusing on leveling anyways! The Glast Heim Monastery quest (15x Wraiths & 15x Evil Druids) is decent XP and gives some coins. You can also do Clock Tower 15x Clock and 15x Alarm
  • Starting from 140, the go-to farming spot for Coins is Lasagna Dungeon. You can take both quests from the 130-190 board (Above 130 for floor 2 and Above 140 for floor 3)
  • Once you can one-hit-kill the mobs in Second Power Plant (they have 3m HP), that's your late-game Coin farming spot
  • The end game of Coin farming is multi-clienting (WIP)

Using the Tables

The data for these tables was collected by farming for 30 minutes with an active 12264.png [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) on an Arch Mage character. Other classes may have higher or lower income.

The "Total Zeny" values reflect market prices at the time this guide was written and should only serve as a comparison basis, not as an indication of actual income.

The "Monster HP" values track the Effective HP of the tankiest monster on the map. That's why the values shoot into the billions later on, once mobs have 90% damage reduction.

Optimization

While none of this is as important as Bubble Gum (you do not farm without Bubble Gum), here is a handy list of optional supplies you can take with you to optimize your farming experience:

  • 12710.png Guyak Pudding (12710) : Always move at max speed, and become immune to slows. Warning: this is a highly addictive substance. Has the same duration as Bubble Gum, which is pretty handy.
  • 12887.png Infinite Fly Wing (12887) : Big QoL item to TP around the map without worrying about stack size or weight. You can also use a 4040.png Creamy Card (4040) accessory.
  • 23648.png Kafra Storage Bell (23648) /23177.png [Bound] Kafra Card (23177) : Open your storage anywhere. Combined with @storeall on shortcut, this is essential to maximizing your zeny/hour.
  • 6846.png [Bound] Gym Pass (6846) : Can be used up to 20 times to increase your weight limit by up to 4,000. More weight limit: less downtime interacting with storage. Even magic classes can also add some STR stats to push that number even higher.
  • 50042.png Haggler Pass (50042) : Can be used up to 10 times by non-Merchant classes only. This allows you to have the Overcharge skill on any character, eliminating the need for storage transfers and Merchant alts to sell trash loot.

All these items are available from the in-game cash shop. Monitor the #trade channel and look for players selling 50003.png Muh Voucher (50003) (at the time of writing, 7m-7.5m is a good price range for buying these). You can also trade some 50000.png Muh Coin (50000) in a pinch. Don't be afraid of the "cash" shop, you don't need to spend actual cash to use it.

Lootlists: I don't use them because you don't get rich by leaving stuff on the ground! However, some people prefer to use them and that's fine. If you have good lootlists to share, DM me on Discord and I'll include them here (with a credit, of course).

Meanwhile, this guide: Farming Items has lootlists for most of the maps in the tables below.

Drop rate gear

The data for this guide was gathered without the use of drop rate gear, as those gears aren't easily accessible to new players. For more information on drop rate gear, see here: Increase item drop gears

A note on the data

To make this guide, I farmed between 5 and 20 half-hour sessions on each map, and collected the data in a spreadsheet. The numbers in these tables represent the lowest recorded amounts across these runs. They should serve as a solid baseline, not as a top end to aim for.

What is valuable?

This is a question that comes up often. I'm not going to get into loot lists, because my philosophy is to simply loot everything, use 23648.png Kafra Storage Bell (23648) when I'm overweight, and sort/sell everything later. That being said, it's good to know which items can be safely sold to NPCs and which you need to keep or vend.

Consumables
607.png Yggdrasil Berry (607) A great healing/SP recovery item in the early/mid game. Keep and use, or vend to other players
608.png Yggdrasil Seed (608) Half as good as 607.png Yggdrasil Berry (607) but vends for the same price. Vend this to Alchemists making 100232.png Red Herb Activator (100232) /100233.png Blue Herb Activator (100233)
603.png Old Blue Box (603) Sell these to NPC or use them for fun gambling times to remind yourself of the good old days
617.png Old Purple Box (617)
616.png Old Card Album (616) Again, you could gamble for something good but the real profit is in vending these to gamblers instead
12246.png Mystical Card Album (12246)
604.png Dead Branch (604) Use these for the nostalgia factor, or just sell them to NPC
12103.png Bloody Branch (12103) Spawns a random MVP when used. Extremely valuable. Vend these to players - gambling with these is a very very late game activity
50001.png Forgotten Heirloom (50001) Open these: they contain a random MVP drop, which might save you 150k zeny on your shadow gear, and sometimes other goodies like 50000.png Muh Coin (50000) or 6635.png Blacksmith's Blessing (6635)
41081.png Illusion Moonlight Box (41081) Open these and either sell the contents to NPC or use with 100391.png Moonlight Refinement Box (100391) to make Refine Tickets. I'm showing only the Moonlight box here, but it's the same for all Illusion boxes.
100391.png Moonlight Refinement Box (100391) Use them until you get a +10, then make Refine Tickets. You can also vend these to other players. I'm showing only the Moonlight box here, but it's the same for all Illusion boxes.
41246.png Dim Glacier Weapon Box (41246) Either vend directly to players or open and melt the weapons in Ice Castle for a chance at 1001036.png Brilliant Snow Flower Magic Stone Extract (1001036)
Refinement
756.png Rough Oridecon (756) Trade 5 of these for their final versions at Vurewell (@go 50)
757.png Rough Elunium (757)
984.png Oridecon (984) Used to refine level 3/4 weapons and to convert to 1000332.png Etherdeocon (1000332) with 1000322.png Etel Dust (1000322) . Keep or vend to players
985.png Elunium (985) Used to refine level 1 armors and to convert to 1000331.png Etherium (1000331) with 1000322.png Etel Dust (1000322) . Keep or vend to players - The market is so huge for this that you can almost never have too much
6223.png Carnium (6223) The only practical use for this is to convert to 985.png Elunium (985) for 4,000 zeny
6224.png Bradium (6224) The only practical use for this is to convert to 984.png Oridecon (984) for 4,000 zeny
6635.png Blacksmith's Blessing (6635) Used to safely refine Level 5 weapons and Level 2 armors beyond +10, either at the refiner NPC or via the use of refinement hammers. They are extremely valuable. Hold on to these, or vend them to other players
25728.png Shadowdecon Ore (25728) Trade 20 of these for their final versions at Vurewell (@go 50)
25730.png Zelunium Ore (25730)
25729.png Shadowdecon (25729) Trade 5 of these for 1 50034.png Shadow Crate (50034) in the basement of the Main Office (@go main). The 50033.png Shadow (50033) from the crates are used to make Shadow Gear. Keep or vend to players
25731.png Zelunium (25731) These can be used to craft or reform high-end items, and you can trade 100 of them for 1 6635.png Blacksmith's Blessing (6635) . Keep or vend to players
1000322.png Etel Dust (1000322) Used to make all sorts of high-end refinement and grading items. Keep them. You can vend your surplus, but these are so abundant that the price is very low
1001073.png Ectoplasmic Stone (1001073) Not technically a refinement item in itself, these are required to trade for 50052.png MVP Equip Refine Hammer (50052)
Item Creation
969.png Gold (969) Used by Rune Knights and Dragon Knights to make 22540.png Lux Anima Runestone (22540)
7938.png Light Granule (7938)
7939.png Elder Branch (7939)
7003.png Anolian Skin (7003) Used by Guillotine Cross/Shadow Cross to make 12722.png Pyrexia (12722)
7933.png Poison Herb Rantana (7933)
6249.png Savage Meat (6249) Used by Genetic/Biolo for Mixed Cooking
6253.png Cold Ice (6253)
6254.png Beef Head (6254)
6256.png Ice Piece (6256)
950.png Heart of Mermaid (950) Used by Alchemist classes to make Elemental resistance potions
1057.png Moth Dust (1057)
7126.png Large Jellopy (7126)
1012.png Frill (1012)

Baby's First Farm

Map Name Navi Zeny 607.png 756.png 757.png 984.png 985.png [1] 6223.png 6224.png 25223.png 25728.png Total Zeny Monster HP
Istana Cave (dew_dun02 , ) 1m 886 891 49.9m 4k
Gefenia (gefenia03 , ) 21.6m 54 68 111 32 27.8m 35k
Lasagna Dungeon 2 (lasa_dun02 , ) 4.9m 271 49 328 322 36 49.5m 190k
Lasagna Dungeon 3 (lasa_dun03 , ) 9.6m 323 216 224 48 36 48.8m 220k

Note: 607.png Yggdrasil Berry (607) is a valuable item, but it sells more slowly than 985.png Elunium (985) . Don't stock up thousands of them if you want fast money.

Conclusion: Farm Istana early on (lv 100+) for some easy zeny via vending 985.png Elunium (985) on your merchant alts. Farm Lasagna 2-3 for 25223.png Eden Coin (25223) and to stock up on 607.png Yggdrasil Berry (607) for later.

Illusion Dungeons

Map Name Navi Zeny 607.png 608.png 756.png 757.png 984.png 985.png 6223.png 6224.png 25271.png 50001.png 100391.png Total Zeny Monster HP

Illusion of Teddy Bear (ein_d02_i , ) 10.7m 224 242 112 4 7 40m 600k
Illusion of Luanda (com_d02_i , ) 4.9m 26 129 19 70 2 17 21.8m 750k

Illusion of Labyrinth (prt_mz03_i , ) 9.7m 23 30 37 95 32 106 4 7 25.8m 1m
Illusion of Underwater F2 (iz_d05_i , ) 8.2m 21 24 115 5 13 20.7m 3m

Multi-client farming is solid in these dungeons (except Labyrinth): easy objectives, good return of 50001.png Forgotten Heirloom (50001) .

Conclusion: Farm Illusions of Vampire & Teddy Bear for mid-game resources while still gaining respectable XP (levels 150-190). Farm Twins later for useful Illusion gear and/or to make Refine Tickets.

Note: In Illusion of Teddy Bear, target the Red Teddy Bears for 984.png Oridecon (984) , and the Yellows for 985.png Elunium (985) .

Secret Tech: Farm Illusion of Underwater F2 for a chance at 300145.png [MVP] Abysmal Witch Card (300145) , one of the rarest MVP cards on the server.

Early Game

Map Name Navi Zeny 969.png 984.png 25223.png 25728.png 25729.png 25730.png 25731.png 25814.png 50001.png 1000103.png 1000405.png Total Zeny Monster HP
Einbech Dungeon 3 (ein_dun03 , ) 5.5m 5 128 72 218 375 73 15 17.5m 2.5m
Second Power Plant (ba_pw03 , ) 8m 264 709 638 1,358 15.3m 3m
Abyss Lake 4 (abyss_04 , ) 10.7m 297 21 24 36 13.1m 3.5m
Oz Dungeon 2 (oz_dun02 , ) 5.8m 533 59 551 41 739 38.9m 5m
Odin's Past (odin_past , ) 21.6m 184 19 7 20 12 23.8m 7.5m

Einbech 3 is a great place to farm 25814.png Dynite (25814) for Flush Weapons. Make sure to turn in the dailies as soon as completed, and trade the ores at (einbech 151, 251).

Abyss 4 and Power Plant 2 are great for multi-client farming, you can get around 1,000 25223.png Eden Coin (25223) in a half-hour run with just 4 clients. Normal drops won't be multiplied, just the Coin/Heirloom rewards.

Due to the low mob density, Odin's Past is a poor farming spot unless you're specifically hunting 25768.png Valkyrie Ingrid's Armor Fragment (25768) /25769.png Valkyrie Reginleif's Armor Fragment (25769) for costume crafting purposes.

Conclusion: Farm Oz Dungeon 2 for mid-game resources, especially 1000405.png Amethyst Fragment (1000405) , which are used in the buying and enchanting of powerful mid-game armors (18 Direction of Prayer#Gray Wolf Armor).

Farm Abyss 4 for Eden Coins and good XP (until level 240-ish).

Thanatos Tower

Map Name Zeny 25728.png 25729.png 25730.png 25731.png 1000244.png 1000245.png 1000256.png 1000258.png 1000259.png 1000260.png 1000261.png Total Zeny Monster HP
Thanatos Tower F11 19.8m 67 68 61 75 24 23 35 134 130 135 150 49.6m 3.9m
Thanatos Tower F12

Conclusion: Thanatos Tower requires 12710.png Guyak Pudding (12710) to farm properly, and your income depends heavily on the price and demand of fragments. But when the price is right, it's an excellent early game farm spot.

Mid Game

Map Name Navi Zeny 25728.png 25729.png 25730.png 25731.png 50001.png 1000322.png Total Zeny Monster HP

Amicitia 2 (amicitia2 , ) 28.5m 314 61 393 53 6 307 36.7m 37m

These are the first maps where you can start getting 25729.png Shadowdecon (25729) , 25731.png Zelunium (25731) , and 1000322.png Etel Dust (1000322) , the cornerstones of your grading journey.

Conclusion: Just farm Rudus 4 when Nif1 is too crowded.

Episodes 19 & 20

The values [in brackets] reflect the zeny you would save by farming 41246.png Dim Glacier Weapon Box (41246) instead of buying them. The left-side value is what you earn by selling the boxes to NPC.

Note: You will need to walk about 5 or 6 maps to Deep Root Cave before you can warp there directly from the warper.

Conclusion: Do not waste time here unless you need 41246.png Dim Glacier Weapon Box (41246) , 1000608.png Flower Petals (1000608) or 1001217.png Sacred Cat Whiskers (1001217) for your own (Dim) Glacier enchants.

Reminder: The "Zeny" column includes raw zeny from killing monsters as well as zeny earned from selling trash drops (including equipment boxes) to vendors.

Conclusion: Buckle up and lock in, Niffleheim 2 is going to be your best farming spot for a long time. Mix it up with Mjolnir if you can snipe easily, and CTB to farm materials such as 1001073.png Ectoplasmic Stone (1001073) for 50052.png MVP Equip Refine Hammer (50052) .

Note: Niffleheim 2 also drops 1001072.png Wicked Orb (1001072) , another component for buying 50052.png MVP Equip Refine Hammer (50052) .

Conclusions: Biosphere A is not worth farming unless you need to make something like a 470174.png Glade Rune Boots [1] (470174) or 480233.png Death Rune Manteau [1] (480233) and are on a self-farm challenge, or if for some reason the price of elemental runes and essences shoots up into the stratosphere.

(If Death numbers seem higher it's only because my Arch Mage is more suited to dealing with the mobs in Death, the biospheres A should all be closely similar to one another in terms of income, only the elemental type of the runes will differ.)

Biosphere B is the best source of 25731.png Zelunium (25731) (and therefore 6635.png Blacksmith's Blessing (6635) ) if you want to self-farm. Now, as for which biosphere B map is the best for you to farm, that depends on your character. If you've already invested in 311934.png Biosphere Gem (Vibra-rupt) (311934) , Temple is the obvious choice. SVS Arch Mages may favor Soul, while Neutral-element damage dealers might find Venom more to their liking. In any case, the income to damage requirement ratio makes these maps mostly unprofitable for everyone not equipped with end-game gears.

Unless they are severely overcrowded, it is likely preferable to farm the maps in Early Late Game with Increased Drop Rate Gear.

Forgotten Time Zone 1 500m
Forgotten Time Zone 2 500m

Note: The data on Forgotten Time Zone was gathered by always farming whichever Zone was corrupted/polluted (as the corruption increases the monster density), and also takes into account completion of the daily quests.

All the monsters there are also Formless race, so don't forget to enchant your Dimension weapon with 311934.png Biosphere Gem (Vibra-rupt) (311934) .

Varmundt Depths

Note that, unlike every other zone, this data was gathered in party play with shared drops.

I've regrouped all the Depth Samples under 1 cell since they all sell for the same amount.

The value in Depths 1 comes mostly from the Samples and 1001289.png Depth Level 1 Research Document (1001289) from quest turn-ins. Unless you're self-farming for the armor, just get your rep and get out.

Instance Farming

Farming instances is a good break from the monotony of field farming and many of these instances also have much lower gear requirements than the best fields. They're also less profitable overall, as you'd expect. Still, incorporating instances into your farming routine will help give it some variety.

Old Glast Heim & Challenge

Old Glast Heim Normal and Hard drop 6755.png Contaminated Magic (6755) and 6608.png Coagulated Spell (6608) , which are both used as intermediary crafting materials for enchanting the Circulation of Life cloaks. This is a very easy and straightforward instance—although the first run can be slow, annoying and frustrating. But worry not, once you get the hang of it (and unlock fast mode), it's a relatively quick run and also rewards 6 (N)/7 (H) 50009.png Instance Coin (50009) . In terms of zeny/hour, it's about on par with the likes of Rudus4/Niflheim 1.

Old Glast Heim Challenge Mode is a different beast. Read the details here before you start: Old Glast Heim Challenge Mode

Leveling up your Challenge level is tedious , but the rewards might be worth it. At max level, OGH Challenge rewards 25865.png Temporal Gemstone (25865) and 25866.png Temporal Spell (25866) , which are similarly used as intermediary crafting materials for enchanting the Circulation of Life cloaks. 25865.png Temporal Gemstone (25865) especially is very expensive to buy and stocks are limited, so farming them yourself is far from a bad idea.

Instance Coins

50009.png Instance Coin (50009) are rewarded from Instance Daily Quests and can be traded for various items, most notably 6608.png Coagulated Spell (6608) , 6755.png Contaminated Magic (6755) , and 25866.png Temporal Spell (25866) .

Here is a list of instances that are quick to finish and reward coins. Most of these also have a (very low) chance of dropping an MVP card that can be traded for a 22829.png Sealed Card Album (22829) .

MVP Cards

Every MVP card can be turned into a 22829.png Sealed Card Album (22829) for selling or gambling, but the following instances drop MVP cards that are valuable in themselves, either for your personal use or to sell for—literally—billions of zeny.

  • Central Laboratory—Quick instance where you will fight 3 random MVPs. Some have valuable cards, some don't.
  • Sarah and Fenrir—A very annoying instance. Its only purpose is to drop the mythical 4610.png [MVP] Sarah Card (4610) . I don't really recommend farming this unless you really really want that card.

Old Glast Heim Challenge Level

First, read up on OGH Challenge levels here: Old Glast Heim Challenge Mode#Old Glast Heim Difficulty Level

Raising the level on multiple alts from level 1 would be an extremely time-consuming endeavor, so what we do is this: make a party of multi-cliented alts, consisting of all the characters you want to farm the instance with (up to 11), have a friend open a level 10 instance for you, clear it, and repeat until you can open that level 10 yourself. And don't forget to buy your friend a drink.

Alternate Enrichment Methods

Events

Seasonal Events

Read about Seasonal Events here: Seasonal Events

The exclusive costumes available from these events can potentially sell for a lot of zeny, and usually these events can be "farmed" even by low level characters. In any case, events are great to meet other players and make friends, as well as break up the monotony of farming. Take the time to touch some (virtual) grass once in a while!

GM Events

Read about Events here: Automated Events

These events may reward 50000.png Muh Coin (50000) , which can be sold to other players or used as currency to buy 12412.png HE Bubble Gum (12412) . While the events are unlikely to reward more value per time invested than simply farming high level maps, they are a good change of pace and offer an opportunity to hang out with other players.

A Note on Happy Hour

Read about Happy Hour here: Happy Hour

In my experience, Happy Hour is not worth chasing. If it falls on a map already worth farming, you can go for it—but be aware that other players might have the same idea. On the most popular maps, the increased drop rates might—or might not—make up for the increased competition.

On low income maps, the (very low) chance of getting cash shop items is simply not worth it.

Voting

Simple enough: Vote on this page to get Vote Points, then when you have enough (~7 voting cycles) go to the MuhRO Manager in Main Office (@go main) to trade them for Donation Points to use in the Cash Shop. It's not much, but it's free cash shop points.

Playing the Market

I'm only mentioning this because it's a popular money-making strategy in MMORPGs in general, but on MuhRO it's incredibly easy to just generate zeny, and the prices of highly sought-after items like 985.png Elunium (985) , 25731.png Zelunium (25731) and 6635.png Blacksmith's Blessing (6635) are capped by the paramarket, which makes it very hard to make money by simply playing Capitalism Simulator. If you thought, for instance, that it would be a good idea to buy up the entire stock of 50000.png Muh Coin (50000) to take advantage of the high demand from MVP card hunters and try to resell it at a 1,000% markup, well... I have some bad news (50000.png Muh Coin (50000) are also very easy to generate).
