The Most Important Rule

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

• Whenever you are leveling, you are using [Bound] Battle Manual (12263)
• Whenever you are farming, you are using [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264)
• Whenever you are low on these items, you stop and go farm Eden Coin (25223) to buy more

Leveling

1 to 100

• Do not skip the first part of the intro/tutorial quest. It's a quick completion and rewards a 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 Old Pick (7318)
• As you near level 99 Rebirth, go to (ra_fild05 , ) to kill some Kobolds and gather 3x Blue Hair (1034) , then go to (um_fild03 , ) to loot 15x Elastic Band (7200) from Wootan Shooters
• At level 100, go trade your Old Pick (7318) , Blue Hair (1034) , and 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 [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) ! Farm these until you have a comfortable amount of Eden Coin (25223) , and you should also have a bunch of Yggdrasil Berry (607) , Elunium (985) and Oridecon (984) to transfer to your merchant for vending.
• Use your Eden Coin (25223) to buy some Brilliant Protection Scroll (23204) and Almighty (12883) , and farm Illusion of Vampire and/or Illusion of Teddy Bear until you hit 200.
• Keep your [Bound] Battle Manual (12263) active at all times, and if you can farm in Teddy Bear, also keep [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) active. When you get low on 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 and 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 (LINK to wiki). Refer to the guides here for class-specific gearing advice (or you can always ask in the class channels on the Discord).
• Farm zeny and XP in Illusion of Twins and Underwater. Many classes can use the gear from those dungeons 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 for enchanting) or exchange them for 6232, which you can combine into 6994. These are good sellers, or you can use them yourself on your future Gray Wolf equipment, if you decide to go that route.
• Farm until you're fully decked out in shiny +11 Illusion gear with level 2 rune enchants, then finish leveling to 250 in Odin's Past or Abyss 4 (don't forget the Eden/Daily quests for those places 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.
