|Self buff. On death and with Base EXP at 99-99.9%, level 5 Steel Body will trigger while also fully restoring HP and SP. Think of it as an extra life. Succeeding deaths will not trigger the skill. Relogging restores the extra life. At max level 275, it prevents AP loss and will always trigger on death. If you're soloing and you still don't want to go back to your save point, bring a couple of extra Fly Wings and teleport around until you find a safe area. Relog to get the extra life back. If you think being in SB mode is more of a detriment, you can go back and click on the Healer NPC to remove it, or you can type @die and resurrect yourself with {{#item:6293}}, or wait for someone to resurrect you.

|While leveling up, you may have gotten some nice looking "junk" like {{#item:1001075}} and {{#item:1001084}}. You can save them and a bunch of cards to obtain this helmet. When paired with {{#skill:550148}}, you get an FCT reduction bonus. Upgrade it to +11 Grade C. The Furious equipment set looks like to be a good alternative to the Dim Glacier and Glacier sets and seems to be right in-between the two in terms of power levels.

*1-10 Beginner Tutorial, Prontera Field / Culvert, grab Eden stuff at level 10
*10-40 Payon Dungeon. Grab 1-39 Eden Quests. Activate Manual at level 40. Having a {{#item:13440}} from [[Old Glast Heim]] and {{#item:4084}} to enable {{#skill:7}} can make leveling a little easier.
*40-70 Max {{#skill:17}}, grab Orc Zombie, Orc Skeleton and Zenorc Eden Board Quest and go to Orc Dungeon. After killing Orc Zombie, head southeast for the Orc Skeletons and Zenorcs. Beware the Orc Archers. Change job to Super Novice at Base Level 45.
*70-99 Glast Heim Monastery, Malaya Quest, '''DON'T CHANGE JOB UNTIL YOU REACH JOB LEVEL 99!!!'''
*100-120 [[16.1 Banquet for Heroes]], grab some honor token quests, get Noblesse Equips. Turn in Malaya Quest. There are multiple routes for leveling:
**100-110: Exit Thor Dungeon > Magmaring > Go East for Drosera/Muscipular
**100-110: Ice Dungeon > Siroma > type @lw and exit > Desert Wolf > Go down south for the Hill Winds > Go east for the Kobolds
**110-120: Ice Dungeon > Siroma > Head to the center and target Snowier > Head north and destroy Ice Titans and Gazeti
**100-120: Illusion of Moonlight
*125-150 [[16.2 Terra Gloria]], grab some Schwarzwald honor token quests, get Imperial Equips
**120-140: Eden Board Quests 120-140
**120-130: Illusion of Frozen
**130-150: Illusion of Vampire. Save the {{#item:6223}}. You can turn them to {{#item:985}}, then {{#item:1000331}} at the later parts of the game.
*150-170 [[17.1 Illusion]], farm Cor Core and Unknown Parts, get Grace Equips and some MATK OS Headgear and Rutilus Stick-OS. If possible, get enough zeny to buy/craft {{#item:550080}}, then upgrade to {{#item:550081}} to make life so much easier.
**150-160: Illusion of Teddy Bear
**160-170: Illusion of Luanda or Illusion of Twins if you're feeling brave (the ants hurt a lot unless you have high Flee)
*170-200 [[17.2 Sage Legacy]], level up via Illusion Dungeons
**170-180: Illusion of Twins
**170-190: Illusion of Labyrinth
**180-190: Illusion of Underwater 2
**190-230: Abyss4, Odin Past and Einbech3. Lots of quests means lots of heirlooms and eden coins!
*200-210 [[18 Direction of Prayer]], Nif1, Rudus4 (requires completing [[17.1 Illusion]])
**200-210: Nif1, Rudus4, or continue with Abyss4 and Einbech3
*210-230 [[19 Isgard Land of Snow Flowers]], Ami1, Ami2 at 230
**210-230: Abyss4, Odin Past or Einbech3 are still the best.
*230-250 [[20 The Immortal]], Nif2 at 240
**230-240: Amicitia 2 or Ami2 for short. So far, '''this is the MOST PAINFULLY SLOW PART''', made worse by those annoying NAPEOs teleporting like it's going out of style and slowing down your progress. Thankfully, Hyper Novices can go to Ami2 directly via {{#skill:27}}. Type /memo at Ami2's entrance and you can freely warp there. Such is the quality of life of Hyper Novices and Cardinals. ALWAYS MAKE A BEELINE FOR NAPEO BEFORE THEY TELEPORT. Everything else is collateral damage.
**230-240: Abyss4, Odin Past or Einbech3 are still viable, though it may take a bit longer to level up compared to Ami2. However, getting a lot of heirlooms and eden coins is still enticing.
**240-250: Nif2. Slower leveling but easier for the less geared. Mobs give around half the EXP compared to [[Varmundt's Biosphere]]. However, Grotes drop the highly coveted {{#item:12103}} in exchange, and you should get more of them with the 48% increased drop rate at level 240. If you want to level up faster though, make sure you're geared enough for...
**240-250: ...Biosphere A and B. The horrible and '''NASTEA''' Ami2 slog is finally over! Leveling is far easier because the dungeons are VERY CROWDED with tons of mobs, the kill quest is generalized unlike Ami2 where you need to kill X number of specific mobs, and if you're strong enough, turning in a quest should take no longer than 2mins most of the time, compared to Ami2's 3-5mins depending on your luck with Napeo the {{#skill:26}} addict. Pick a dungeon of your liking - all the dungeons have mobs that give more or less the same amount of EXP (65 - 71M), and kill quests that give the same amount of EXP, despite Fire, Ice, Grass and Death mobs having ~15M less HP than Temple, Soul and Venom mobs.
*250-275 [[21 Age of Heroes]], [[Garden of Time]], [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth]] if there are [[In Depth review about Varmundt Depth 1 and 2 dungeons with the Depth Keeper himself|Depth Parties]]
**250+: [[Unknown Blue Hole]] or [[Niflheim Pumpkin Farm]].
**250+: [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth]] if you're strong enough. Always keep distance from annoying stripper Lava Toads! They've been badly influenced by Ifrit the {{#skill:476}}per. Always remember to turn-in every 300 kills!

The strategy here is mainly for those who can deal just enough damage to survive here alone and if there are no Zero Cell parties at the moment, or if parties are full. This is based on my experience having entered the dungeon just once as of now, and will change over time.
1 - Get POWERFUL, HEAVILY-ENCHANTED END-GAME equips, preferably with the most important gears at +15, and have at least 80,000HP.
2 - Use {{#item:23204}} so you won't die due too quickly, though you will still die real fast anyways. {{#item:50035}} is better. {{#item:50036}} is highly recommended.
3 - <s>If your DPS is just merely adequate to survive here, watch out for the Arch Bishop, because it looks like they're the only ones smart enough to cast {{#skill:2040}} from a distance. The rest, including the Sorcerer for some reason, seem to use their skills only when they get up close and personal. Because of this, it may be possible to kite them and slowly finish them off. Find a big-enough space and get ready to play a long game of "Ring Around the Rosie" with extremely dangerous and deadly 3rd job mobs. Oh what fun it is to ride in the Zero Cell Carousel. OF DEATH!!!</s>
This is a bug. They'll unleash a world of hurt when they see you.

|While leveling up, you may have gotten some nice looking "junk" like {{#item:1001075}} and {{#item:1001084}}. You can save them and a bunch of cards to obtain this helmet. When paired with {{#skill:550148}}, you get an FCT reduction bonus. Upgrade it to +11 Grade C. The Furious equipment set looks like a good alternative to the Dim Glacier and Glacier sets and seems to be right in-between the two in terms of power levels.

|An armor that gives a lot of power, sufficient for the late-game, but lacking in the end-game. It can be easily graded, because it doesn't need an exorbitant amount of zeny and expensive {{#item:6635}} to refine. Try obtaining a +12 Grade C. Currently can be purchased from player vendors at cheap prices.

|Most powerful and best-in-slot weapon despite its -17 ASPD penalty. It can have two powerful enchants of your choosing, no RNG nonsense. At Grade A and paired with a Grade A {{#item:400545}}, it further increases {{#Skill:5451}} damage and FINALLY gives the Physical Hyper Novice an actual gap closer - {{#skill:2022}}. Though if you step on something incredibly sticky, like {{#skill:405}}, {{#skill:2022}} will fail.

|Mace
|[[Chapter 1]]
|An adorably cute, unfrighteningly spoopy, and totally harmless little mace tailor-made for {{#skill:5451}}, greatly increasing its effectiveness. Unlike the Frontier combo for Mage HNs, this is a standalone. When using {{#skill:5461}}, for 150 seconds, enables the use of {{#skill:6513}} and reduces the cooldown of {{#skill:5451}} by 0.2 seconds. Finally, because it is a Mace, and a cute one at that, its -10 ASPD penalty is also cute compared to Daggers and One-Handed Swords (-15 and -17 respectively). ADORABLE!
Try getting a very scary and intimidating-looking +10 {{#item:590081}}, preferably with Non-Crit Physical Damage modifiers and reform it, to something that is literally a cheap plastic pumpkin with a cheap paraffin candle inside nailed to a wooden handle that can be bought at a thrift store. How something so cheap and fragile-looking is actually indestructible and can easily eliminate angry homonculi with zero cells with the right hands is a mystery.
