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 Brilliant Protection Scroll (23204) and 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 (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 HD Carnium (6225) for enchanting) or exchange them for Safe to +9 Armor Certificate (6232) , which you can combine into 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, 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.
