I personally go with "No" as it's a bit too slow to my liking to levelling multiple alts at the same time but since we're demonstrating with only 1 character then we can follow it. This is very optional!
I highly recommend to follow the initial tutorial to receive {{#item:7803}}.
 
Just make sure you skip the tutorial for Main Office by choosing you already know the way - this is after you're teleported to Prontera.




It's also possible to skip the tutorial but will be a bit slower as the Novice Battle Manual is a 200% EXP Boost.


I'd recommend following through the tutorial if you're new. Otherwise, go with the second option to immediately receive the rewards.

== <big>Expanded Classes Route</big> ==
As Expanded Job Classes do not typically follow the same path with the conventional primary classes due to the lack of the Rebirth option available to them, you should be able to make it through your Expanded Third Class fairly easily but has a tighter time constraint than Primary Classes as you can't prepare your level as easily which makes it a bit harder to take advantage of the {{#item:7803}} provided as it has 30 minutes timer.
 
=== First Job - Preparation ===
As soon as you have finished the tutorial, and have changed to your chosen Expanded Job Class.
 
* You should procure 6x {{#item:523}} & 6x {{#item:717}}.
* Sign up as an Eden Member and grab the Eden Gear (Level 10 minimum).
* Purchase 1 ~ 3 {{#item:14512}} or {{#item:14514}}.
* Sort out any consumables you will require such as Ammo / Charms that's relevant to your class & skills.
This part will just give be a quick short list of what your route will be to save time but you can read the Primary Class Route for more of a detailed look
 
==== Begginings: First Job to Second Job ====
We will start off by doing the ''Cautious Village'' quest, follow along the steps above [[A Start to Levelling Alts#Cautious Village Steps|here]].  Return after Step 15.
 
Once that has been prepared, it's now time to begin and where we will be in a tight time constraint but if you really need some time. Return to a Town so that the  {{#item:7803}} timer is paused.
 
* Warp to Anthell
* Pop your {{#item:7803}}
* Cast {{#item:14512}} or {{#item:14514}} on Ant Eggs until Level 40+.
 
* For the following steps below -
 
You can skip the HAND-IN if you have enough EXP and can choose to hand it later if you prefer. The EXP from {{#item:7803}} will let you glide through the levels.
 
* Take Orc Dungeon Eden Board Quest & Repeat until 70+.
** Hit Level 70+ but have/haven't finished the quest?
*** Yes?
**** Finish the quest but DO NOT hand in.
*** No?
**** Carry on with quest & hand in.
* Take Glast Heim Wraiths & Evil Druid Kill Quests until 99/70.
** Finished the quest but close to 99/70?
*** Yes?
**** Hand in Orc Dungeon ONLY
*** No?
**** Hand in both.
* <!-- Make sure you are allocating Skill Points in Towns where the timer for the Battle Manual will be paused. -->Job Change -> Hand in ''Cautious Village'' quest & any remaining board quests you have.
 
==== Journey: Second Job to Third Job ====
After Job Changing to 2nd Job, you can simply follow the same route under the Leeching & Manual Levelling Path.
 
Below are images of mainly sticking with Grace Set, Advanced Eden Gears, and a rented Advanced Class Shadow Gear clearing all necessary dungeons to get to Level 250.<gallery heights="200" mode="packed">

Also consider investing in {{#item:50035}}from the [[Eden Machine|'''Eden Machine''']] to make levelling manually a bit easier.[[File:Illu moon arrow storm.png|thumb|Illusion of Moonlight]]


=== Manual Levelling: 100-200 ===
==== Manual Levelling: 100 - 200 ====
It's perfectly possible to follow the recommended Illusions Dungeons & Normal Dungeons above if your character is able to handle them but if not. It might be wiser to swap to doing Eden Board Quests after Illusion of Moonlight & Illusion of Frozen if you choose to do it.
It's perfectly possible to follow the recommended Illusions Dungeons & Normal Dungeons above if your character is able to handle them but if not. It might be wiser to swap to doing Eden Board Quests after Illusion of Moonlight & Illusion of Frozen if you choose to do it.


So first off, we'll be starting in Illusion of Moonlight.
As a Ranger, we will be using a combination of Arrow Storm & Sharp Shooting to kill the mobs! Make sure to always keep your 3 staple buffs in Wind Walk, Improved Concentration, True
You should be able to one shot the mobs in here still, so it will be a breeze. If you're still under Novice Battle Manual then just hand in once and move on to Frozen if you're able to one shot those.
[[File:Illu vamp sharp shooting.png|left|thumb|Illusion of Vampire]]
Once, EXP slows down it's time to move on to Vampire if you're able to but generally it's a bit harder to move up in Illusion Dungeon tier as their HP scales a bit higher than your Eden Gear is able to manage and might require you to swap over to the Grace Set.
In order to obtain this item, you're best bet might be to farm in Geffenia until you have enough around 15m~ Zeny and should be able to afford it from other players.
But as this wastes time for my {{#item:7803}}, I will be skipping it as I like to prioritise the massive exp boost from the {{#item:7803}}.
'''However, if you've prepared it beforehand or have spare Zeny or Instance Coins laying around, I would highly recommend switching as soon as possible.'''
Generally, the exp will feel like slowing down around the 160~170 range and it might make you want to move on to higher Illusion Dungeon tier but cannot due to gearing issue unless you're under the effect of the {{#item:7803}}as this will allow you to farm these lower Illusion Dungeons a bit more up to maybe around 180~185 or if you really want, you can go until it expires but I will be moving on after reaching Level 188 for this character.
[[File:Eden board 130.png|thumb|Eden Board 130 - 190]]
This time I'll be moving on to something I prefer after the EXP from the first 3 Illusion Dungeons slow down and after reaching 170 at least; Eden Board 130 - 190.
I would just take all but we will be focusin on only one kill quest for this until we reach Level 200 and able to Job Change to 4th Job.
The target this time will be {{#linkmob:2917}}in [[Nightmare Dungeons|Nightmare Clock Tower]] which is located in {{#navi:c_tower3_||}}, the floor after entering Nightmare Clock Tower so prepare {{#item:601}} .
* Warper -> Nightmare Clock Tower -> Pay NPC 10k -> North Warp

We'll be repeating this Kill Quest to 200, so good luck.
'''Quick note if your character has enough damage to be quick, you can take the route below.'''
# Illusion of Moonlight until around 150~ to switch to Grace Set.
# Illusion of Vampire for a round or two around 160-170.
# Illusion of Teddy until 200.

==== Manual Levelling: 200 - 250+ ====
[[File:Grace Set - Sharp Shooting.png|thumb|Grace Set - Sharp Shooting]]
Now that you've reached 4th Jobs. I'd recommend now trying to get the Grace Set for yourself if you haven't gotten it yet, but I would wait on upgrading any weapons as you want to aim for Glacier Weapon or Dimensional Weapons.
But most importantly, I would take a look at class specific in  [[User Guides|Player Guides]]  that's relevant to you to get an idea on what you're building and what skills you'll be using.
Feel free to grind any where you like to earn some initial Job Skill Points to put in to your new main skills as they will propel your damage by a lot than before. 
For Windhawk, we will be focusing on Calamity & Gale Storm ability.
Calamity is Unlimit on crack with no cooldown meanwhile Gale Storm is Arrow Storm on crack with no cooldown but you can try to boost your ability a bit by using the consumables from the Eden Machine for things such as The One Potion if you're lazy and a Ranged Transformation Scroll. You may also want to invest in to an Incubus Pet as Gale Storm is very intense mana draining skill.
From now on, you should be able to follow along the levelling order from the '''Leeching''' section but this may heavily depend on your class and their tool-kit.
Most classes from my experience are able to do enough damage to be levelling in Einbech 3 & Abyss Lake 4 after switching 4th Jobs as it's a massive power spike but some classes do require a bit of gear to function a bit more from my experience levelling normal job classes to expanded job classes from things such as needing more Crit maybe, or some FCT/VCT reductions.
Windhawk has to be one of the more easier classes to level towards as you have good options with dealing with different types of elements through elemental arrows and such, along with good options early on with Sharp Shooting, Arrow Storm, and even Unlimit. Which is raised even more once you reach Windhawk with the Calamity & Gale Storm combo which has allowed me to clear the mobs in Einbech Dungeon 3 & Abyss Lake 4 with a mixture of Grace & Advanced Eden Set.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

</gallery>If you happen to want to want to upgrade your weapon beforehand, I'd recommend waiting for Level 210 so you're able to equip the Glacier Weapon of your class or Level 230 for your Dim Glacier Weapon instead.
For Windhawk, we will be going with the {{#item:700052}} or {{#item:700059}} and aiming for the following enchants below.
These weapons are temporary as you will be switching to your next tier of weapons at Level 250 so try look for something cheap, and at least +9 as these items should be fairly abundant.
I'd recommend to just forgo the Glacier/Dim Glacier Weapons and work on the next tier of weapons such as {{#item:700093}}.

The leeching method will allow you to make as many alts as you want in just a few hours if done optimally, and you can even start leeching as early as killing Glast Heim mobs.

The order of levelling is very arbitary and you can choose different paths that's not noted here. You CAN even do all of them if you really want to such as switching between EIn3 & Abyss4.
If you take advantage of the EXP Event and a Novice Battle Manual - You can print out Level 250 alts (Normal Job Classes so far) in about 1~ hour.

As a new player, the grind will be a lot slower as it will involve the gearing process and the need to farm Zeny for those.
