*'''Important note:'''  Please remember that your EXP book doesn't consume time while you're in a town, and that Main Office and Eden are buildings inside of a town and the book '''will consume time while inside a building'''. So don't waste time inside Main Office or Eden while you have a book running. This applies to bubblegums too, but that's not important for leveling. All your tinkering with stat point and skill point allocation should take place in a town, so you don't waste precious exp book time.

* DO NOT skip the tutorial quest. Do it and get your free exp book. Don't use it yet, wait till you're level 39.

* At level 10, register at Eden Group (@go eden) and grab your free gear from the backroom (on the right side). Grab the physical set, since leveling as taekwon is all about kicking anyway.

* Go kick ants in ant hell until level 30 or so. Your goal is to max {{#skill:424}}, {{#skill:421}} and {{#skill:425}} first. You'll only need those skills for now. Put {{#skill:421}} into a hotkey and use it to kill everything.

* Put 20 points in DEX and the rest in STR and use the warper to go to Dungeons > Glast Heim > Monastery. Make sure you use '''level 7''' {{#skill:425}} to turn your kicks into Holy Element. Now is the time to use your exp book! Pop it and start killing Evil Druids and Wraiths with your {{#skill:421}}. Once you get to job level 50, go back to Main Office and change job to Soul Linker, then use the @go Malaya command to go to Malaya Town.

* Do the [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Cautious_Village Cautious Village Quest]. Once you finish it, you'll be level 99/70 and you can go change to Soul Reaper. Before doing so, while in Malaya, spend all your skill points in {{#skill:426}}, {{#skill:423}}, {{#skill:420}} and {{#skill:411}}. {{#skill:411}} will be left at lvl 9.

* While in Malaya, take a minute to allocate your skills: max Kaahi, Kaizel, Kaite, Kaina and then whatever you want. The rest of the skills don't matter much. Once all 49 points are allocated, save and @go main to change your job to Soul Reaper. Now @go eden to deliver the stored quest at the lvl 70-99 board and then quickly @go malaya. Now do finish the Cautious Village quest by talking to the last NPC. This should bring you to level 116/28 (more if there's an active exp event). @go main and reset your stats (NPC next to Job Master) then go back to a town and allocate your stats to 110 INT, 100 DEX and 40 VIT. Open your skills and max Espa and Soul Collect. Activate Soul Collect and keep it active from now on, so it generates Soul Energy.  
* Go back to Glast Heim Monastery and kill a few enemies here until you get to job level 16. Just use autoattacks with Holy Element.
 
* Once you have 15 skill points, level up {{#skill:2602}} to max level. You can now use {{#skill:2602}} to farm your Advanced Paradise gear. Remember to bring at least 200 {{#item:601}} and 10 {{#item:505}} just in case.
* Get Advanced Paradise gear. You'll need the following items:
* Get Advanced Paradise armor set. You'll need the following items:


# Elastic Bands: Type @navi um_fild03 to be directed to the map with the most Wootan Shooters. In this map, teleport around killing the monkeys with slingshots until you collect 15 elastic bands.

# Blue Hair: @go light and then go up and up again. You'll be at a map filled with kobolds. Kill a few of the blue ones until you have 3 blue hair.

# Old Picks: Warper > Dungeons > Einbech Dungeon. Teleport around killing Pitmans until you get 15 Old Picks.


* Go to the backroom of Eden Group and talk to Louis and then Labraham. Use the Take Special Offer option to exchange your items for the Advanced Paradise Magic set and the Advanced Paradise Soul Reaper Staff. Talk to the Eden Vending machine and buy a {{#item:23204}} for 3 coins.

* Do Eden Board quests for Gefenia dungeon. Gefenia level 1 is directly accessible from the warper and it's one of the fastest methods to get a good amount of Eden Coins at this time. I recommend having @go eden bound to a hotkey combination through ALT+M to go back fast. Use Holy Element (lvl 7 Mild Wind). The Abysmal Knight Quest is in the 100-110 board, and the Incubus/Succubus one is in the 120-140. If you die, just go back and keep farming.

Using {{#skill:463}} will keep you alive in Gefenia pretty easily. Just mind your mana and go back to use the healer when needed.
* Notably, Gefenia is also a great spot to grab some early Zeny. For now, just run around with @al 100, looting everything. Just sell everything to NPC, except Eluniums, Oridecons, Eden Coins and cards.

* From 150 to 200, Illusion of Vampire. From 180 to 200 it's going to be pretty boring and take a while, but it's easy and safe. Getting to Soul Ascetic should be your priority for the time being. Grab the quest from the Daily Hunts NPC, buy 2x Brilliant Protection Scroll, 2x Small Life Regen potion, 2x Small Mana Regen potion and 2x Almighty from the Eden Coin vending machine at Eden Group. Add one Battle Manual and that should be 44 coins. This is all going to last you for 1h. To kill effectively in Illusion of Vampire, your stats should be 120INT, 110DEX, 100VIT and I put the rest in STR to not get overweight that quickly. As you progress towards 190, max INT to 130, put 120 on DEX and then do whatever feels best for you with the rest. I tend to get LUK to 90 just because I hate getting Curse status and LUK also provides a small MATK bonus that can help you 2 shot instead of 3 shot. Use Mild Wind lv7 to apply Holy Element.
* Grab your staff for 10 {{#item:25223}} from Labraham at {{#navi:moc_para01|108|83}}. It's the {{#item:640025}}.
* From 150 to 180, get the Illusion of Vampire quest from the Daily Hunts NPC you can find pretty much anywhere. Make sure it's a Town, so you don't waste Exp Book time while taking and delivering the quest. You'll need {{#skill:2604}}, {{#skill:2596}} and {{#skill:2607}} maxed to farm comfortably here.
* From 180 to 200 it takes aproximately 1 minute. You just have to use the @ws command to check who sells Thanatos Fragments, buy 10 of each, and complete the quest at the Daily Hunts NPC. These are the items: {{#item:7436}}, {{#item:7437}}, {{#item:7438}} and {{#item:7439}}.
 
Up until this point, it can all be done in less than 40 minutes. Here's a video of me doint it with a fresh character.

* Now you're ready to farm at the speed of light... are you? Well... turns out you'll need to do a bit more leveling first. Without Job Levels, we can't use our shiny new skills! My recommendation here is to go Exo build first. Talisman requires a bunch of points and is not that strong with no gear. So, how to get there?

* At this point, you can easily do something like Illusion of Teddy Bear! It will be a welcome change of pace, and you only need to do it once with Espa/Eswhoo, so let's get in there. Grab the quest if you haven't, and by the time you finish and turn in, you'll have enough Job Levels to max Soul Gathering and Exorcism of Malicious Soul.

* The playstyle with this build is simple. First use Soul Gathering to max your Soul Energy and then use Exo to explode it in a big AoE that does very good damage.

* At this point, dump all your trait points into SPL and you'll see that you're easily doing more than 1 million damage, while still wearing Paradise gear. That's it for the levelling, folks!
