= Leveling =
Runes are consumables that buff your character. It is highly recommended to farm for them, especially the staples, as they essentially double the damage that you can do.
Here is a step-by-step leveling guide, do note that this is not the only way to progress levels early game. Feel free to use this as reference to leveling your first Dragon Knight.
 
 
Here is the full, unedited VOD for the text leveling guide.

=== Level 1-200 ===
 
# Complete the tutorial up until you get {{#item:7803}}, this will allow you to get up to 2x the EXP gain for both Base and Job levels; HOWEVER, you can only use it during levels 1-40. We will use this later to entirely skip the Rebirth process and speed up the rest of the leveling process.
# Job change into Swordsman via the Job Master in Main Office (@go office_. Remember to allocate your stats mainly onto STR and DEX first and equip the {{#item:20307}}to get +1000HP, 20 HIT and +200SP
# Proceed to Warper then go to Prontera Culvert (Dungeons > Culvert), kill the mobs there until you reach level 10 to be able to join the Eden Group at @go Eden. If you find the mobs inside the dungeon hard, exit to the portal and hit the mobs there instead.
# Level up your {{#skill:7}}, as this will be our main skill to level early.
# Proceed to Eden Paradise (type @go Eden). Then talk to the Purple Haired NPC named Lime Evenor. This will allow you have access to Eden Quests, Eden Starter Gear, and the Eden Vending Machine that we will use all throughout our time in the game.
# Move to the upper right portal then go to the portal with "Paradise Equipment". This equipment will suffice for leveling from 1-200, or even up to 240+ if you're dedicated enough.
# Talk to the hatted, blonde haired npc named Lucy to get{{#item:24687}}+ other Paradise Shadow Gear, a secondary set of gear that gives additional stats outside of the usual gear.
# Talk to the brown haired npc named Lothaire to get your starter gear, {{#item:500032}}and the Paradise Physical Armor Set, {{#item:400137}}, etc.
# Proceed to level to Base Lvl 45 in Sunken Ship (Dungeons > Sunken Ship). Hit all the mobs there up until Lvl 45.
# Once you're at level 45, select "Take All"  from the 40~69 Board in Eden for the Pirate Skeleton Quest. This will give us {{#item:25223}}that we will use to purchase consumables on the Eden Vending Machine.
# Keep doing the quest up until you are Job Lvl 50, then change to Knight.
# Go back to Paradise Equipment talk to the golden haired man named Labraham then get the {{#item:600020}}. We will be using {{#skill:1001}},  {{#skill:7}} {{#skill:62}} for Leveling.
# Keep repeating the Pirate Skeleton Quest up until you get Base Lvl 85.
# Once you're Base Level 85, take all the quest in the 70~99 Board in Eden, then proceed to Einbech Dungeon (Dungeons > Einbech Dungeon) to kill Pitman up until you get 15 {{#item:7318}}. We will need this to turn the quest that will give us our next weapon at Level 100. I highly recommend turning in this quest at least once before proceeding to the next step.
# Once you reach Base level 90, take all the quest in the 70~99 Board in Eden, then go to Turtle Dungeon (Dungeons > Turtle Dungeon). Kill Spring Rabbits and Dragon Tail at the Turtle Dungeon Entrance until the quest is complete. '''DO NOT TURN IN THE QUEST YET'''
# Move to the upper portal then kill Solider and Permeter. At this point you should be maxed level. If not just keep killing mobs until you are max level. '''DO NOT TURN IN THE QUEST YET'''
# Go back to Sunken Ship then kill Pirate Skeletons until the quest is complete. '''DO NOT TURN IN THE QUEST YET'''
# Go to Main Office (@go office) then proceed to Rebirth at the Job Master NPC.
# Once you are a novice again, go to Prontera Culvert (Dungeons > Culvert) to level up Job Level 10
# Change into High Swordsman
# Activate the {{#item:7803}}then turn in the Pirate Skeleton Quest at the 40~69 Board. It should be enough allow you to Job Change into Lord Knight.
# Change into Lord Knight.
# Turn in the 70~99 Board. This will make you Base Level 99 and Job Level 70
# Change into Rune Knight.
# Kill any mob or re-login for your actual level to be registered by the server.
# Once you're level 100, proceed to Paradise Equipment and get {{#item:600021}}from Labraham
# Talk to the Pirate NPC named Roxanne at the rightmost side of Eden and select Take All.
# Go to the Eden Vending Machine above Roxanne, and with the {{#item:25223}}we got from Eden Quests, prioritize getting {{#item:23204}}{{#item:23203}}{{#item:14534}}. This will give us a big boost in survivability. You may also want to get {{#item:12883}}{{#item:14766}}{{#item:23475}}if you have spare {{#item:25223}}.
# Go to Illusion Moonlight (Illusion Dungeons > Illusion Moonlight) then kill any of the mobs there. Use {{#skill:1001}},  {{#skill:7}} {{#skill:62}}. Once you're at least level 12-15, use {{#skill:2005}} as your main leveling skill up to Level 200.
# Turn in quest to Roxanne. Repeat the quest until Base Level 120
# Go to Illusion Frozen (Illusion Dungeons > Illusion Frozen) then kill any of the mobs there.
# Turn in quest to Roxanne. Repeat the quest until Base Level 160
# Go to the 130~190 Board, and select Take All
# Proceed to Verus (@go Verus or Towns > Verus) then proceed to the lower right portal.
# Kill the Recon Robots in the tunnel and in the next proceeding portal until the quest is finished.
# Turn in Quest to the 130~190 Board
# You may repeat the 130~190 Board for Recon Robots or go to Illusion Teddy Bear (Illusion Dungeons > Illusion Teddy Bear) to spice leveling, up until you're Base Level 180.
# Purchase 10 pieces of each {{#item:7436}}{{#item:7437}}{{#item:7438}}{{#item:7439}}by typing @ws 7436, @ws 7437, etc. If you don't wish to purchase, there's no supplies for the materials in the market, or just plain stingy, I highly recommend just spamming Recon Robots until Level 200, as they give big EXP and is relatively easy.
# Talk to Roxanne NPC and keep talking to her until you turn in the quest rewards.
# Congratulations! You are now a Dragon Knight.

You need at least 33-35% ACD to maximize the cast rate of {{#skill:5213}}.

! Stats !! Allocation !! Notes
|-
| STR || 100-120 ||One of your main damage stats. Also increases your weight capacity allowing you to carry more items.
|-
| AGI || 70-110
|Allows you to attack faster, which means you can output more skills for damage. Prioritize this last as ASPD is prioritized less in the early game. Once you hit the late game, you need to hit at least 183 ASPD to maximize {{#skill:6001}}
|-
| VIT || 120-130
|Makes you less squishy. Having VIT at 100 renders you immune to certain status ailments (e.g. Stun) hence the 100 minimum.
|-
|INT
|100-120
|Allows you to cast more skills before replenishing it. This stat is also included for cast time reduction via stats (Int+Dex(2)=530)
|-
|DEX
|100-120
|Increases your HIT rate. {{#skill:6001}} CAN miss so keep that in mind. This is also the main stat for cast time reduction via stats. In the late game you'll need to reach instant cast time to maximize {{#skill:6001}}.
In the early game you may prioritize this for smoother movement / kiting.
