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

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 Oridecon (984) and Elunium (985) you'll be farming in the early game.

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.

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.

@channel leave #global	Turns off global chat so you can focus on farming.
@channel join #global	Take a break from farming to meme around.

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 (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).
• Farm zeny and XP in Illusion of Twins and Underwater. Many (most?) 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.

Farming Billions of Zeny

Eden Coins

The first step to becoming a billionaire is a solid stock of Eden Coin (25223) with which to buy consumables, namely [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, but that's out of the scope of this guide

Using the Tables

In the following tables, the first value in each cell is the low point - this is what you can expect to earn as a new player using an unoptimized setup.

The second value is the high point - this is what you can expect as a veteran player with an optimized setup (including drop rate gear).

Both values reflect 30 minutes of farming with an active [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) .

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 earnings.

For up-to-date market values, refer to the SPREADSHEET

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.

Baby's First Farm

Map Name	Navi	Zeny										Total Zeny	Monster HP
Istana Cave	(dew_dun02 , )	1m		886			891					41.7m	4k
Gefenia	(gefenia03 , )	21.6m		54	68		111				1	26.5m	35k
Lasagna Dungeon 2	(lasa_dun02 , )	4.9m	271			49	328	322				43.1m	190k
Lasagna Dungeon 3	(lasa_dun03 , )	9.6m	323			216			224	36		48.8m	220k

Lasagna value may be overinflated because of Yggdrasil Berry (607) . It's an expensive and valuable item, but it's not easy to move large quantities of it to actually realize the profit. If you don't need them for yourself, consider making Lasagna a "sometimes" only farm spot, once you're done farming it for Eden Coin (25223) .

Gefenia may yield higher value when farming with a Biolo (with Illusion Doping).
