Available Equipment

This list does not include all Equipment Crafting or illusion Dungeon Equipment.

Refine Tickets

I recommend making Safe to +10 Weapon Certificate (6993) and Safe to +10 Armor Certificate (6994) using the following methods, and use HD Ores to refine your main equipment above +10 afterwards.

Use only normal Oridecon (984) , and Elunium (985) for these refining methods.

Note: You need x6 Safe to +8 Weapon Certificate (6229) to make x1 Safe to +10 Weapon Certificate (6993) , or x3 Safe to +9 Weapon Certificate (6228) to a +10 ticket.

x2 Safe to +8 Weapon Certificate (6229) = x1 Safe to +9 Weapon Certificate (6228)
x3 Safe to +9 Weapon Certificate (6228) = x1 Safe to +10 Weapon Certificate (6993)

For weapon refine tickets you have three options.

First you can farm Crimson Weapons, refine them to +10, and then trade them for +8 Refine Tickets. You can also risk refining them to +11 with regular Bradium, and trade them for +9 Refine Tickets. Desert Wolves are a good option to farm Crimson Weapons.

Second you can farm Vicious Mind Weapons, refine them to +9, and then trade them for +8 Refine Tickets. You can also risk refining them to +10, and trade them for +9 Refine Tickets. Vicious Mind Weapons drop in the Sky Fortress Instance.

Third you can farm illusion Dungeons for Refinement Cubes, and use them to refine illusion weapons randomly between +7 to +10. You can then use +10 Weapons to make +9 Tickets, or use +9 Weapons to make +8 Tickets. I recommend farming illusion Underwater 02, illusion Labrynth, or illusion Twins, since they have the most mobs.

For armor refine tickets you have two options.

First you can farm armors from Magma Dungeon 3, and Odin's Past. You can then refine them to +9 to make +8 refine ticekts.

Second you can farm illusion Dungeons for Refinement Cubes, and use them to refine illusion armors randomly between +7 to +10. You can then use +10 Armors to make +9 Tickets, or use +9 Armors to make +8 Tickets. I recommend farming illusion Underwater 02, illusion Labrynth, or illusion Twins, since they have the most mobs.

Zeny Farming

Areas are listed from top to bottom (best to worst).
No amounts of zeny are listed because it varies on how well you farm, how fast you farm, your class, and your builds ability to farm. Do not ask me how much you can get somewhere, I will tell you to refer to this table >:(

Raw Zeny: Zeny that comes straight from monsters, or junk that you sell to the Tool Dealer NPC.

Map	What you farm here	Notes
Clock Tower Basement Dungeon	Zeny Zelunium (25731) Zelunium Ore (25730) Shadowdecon (25729) Shadowdecon Ore (25728) Oridecon (984) Elunium (985) Etel Dust (1000322) Old Card Album (616)	This is the best area for farming zeny as well as many needed materials, it has an extremely high amount of monsters. However it gives less raw zeny than Thanatos Tower 12.
Thanatos Tower 12	Zeny Zelunium (25731) Zelunium Ore (25730) Shadowdecon (25729) Shadowdecon Ore (25728)	The best farming spot for raw zeny farming. One of the mobs casts Decrease Agility on you, so you will want to either have Guyak Pudding or be a Mechanic to farm here. Alternatively Brilliant Protection scroll gives a chance to ignore Decrease Agility, but it doesn't always work. Some mobs also drain your SP, so bring SP potions to recover it quickly.
illusion Underwater 2	Zeny illusion Equipment Underwater Refinement Box (100425)	Farm the mobs and sell the trash for raw zeny. If you drop illusion weapons or armor you can try to refine them and make refinement tickets. Use the Refinement Boxes to try and cheat +9 and +10 illusion equipment for Refinement Tickets as well. You can also go to illusion Twins or illusion Labyrinth if illusion Underwater 2 is too hard for you.
Thanatos Tower (Old) 10	Zeny	Just farm the loots and sell to Tool Dealer NPC.
Magma 3	Zeny Shadowdecon Ore (25728) Zelunium Ore (25730)	Just farm the loots and sell to Tool Dealer NPC. Each Lava Leather piece is worth 25,000 zeny each. Some mobs here drain your SP, so bring SP potions to recover it quickly. Alternative, just go back to town and warp back.
Magma 2	Zeny	Just farm the loots and sell to Tool Dealer NPC.
Sarah's Memory Instance	Zeny	This is a quick and easy instance that gives around 1.5 - 2m zeny per run.

Leveling Guide

Starting at level 1, follow and finish the tutorial so you get the free battle manual, and enough job levels to become your first class. This battle manual lasts only for 30 minutes, keep that in mind. Now head to @go eden, and go into the back doors. Enter the room on the rightside, and speak with Lucy to get free shadow gear, speak with Lothaire to get a free weapon, and Lothaire again to get a free set of armor, which can be magical or physical depending on what you need. Now use your battle manual and head to Anthell Dungeon. Kill Ant Eggs until you are around level 40 or 50. If there are no ant eggs at the entrance, you can walk down a bit and there are some more. Now move to Orc Dungeon, and kill Orc Zombies until you are job level 50. Go back to the Main Office, @go main, and change into your second class. Head back to Eden, and talk to Labraham this time, they will give you a stronger weapon. If you can, choose the weapon that enhances your area of effect skill. If you do not have an area of effect skill on your class, choose the best single target skill, or ASPD boosting weapon. Now head back to Orc Dungeon until you are around level 70-80. This is where leveling methods will depend on your class. If your class has an area of effect skill, head to magma dungeon 2. Be aware that you will need to be careful, otherwise you might die a lot. But even so, this is extremely fast leveling. I recommend bringing fly wings so you can quickly teleport around if you are going to die or take too much damage. If your class does not have an area of effect skill, head to Ice dungeon and kill siroma until level 90. Once you hit 90 grab the eden board quest for hunting siroma. Do not turn this quest in until you rebirth later (unless you are an expanded class, in that case turn it in right away). Next head outside the portal of Ice Dungeon and hunt Desert Wolves until you are max level. Head to the main office and Rebirth. We are going to basically repeat this whole process for rebirth. Go to Anthell to start, followed by Orc Dungeon, and then either Magma2 or Siromas. Once you are your second class, you can turn in the Siroma board quest. Finish with Desert Wolves until you are max level again. After becoming your third class, you need to collect some items for the next set of eden gears. Head to Ice dungeon, enter the entrance portal, then go to the south portal, then go through the east portal. Kill Kobolds until you collect 3 Blue Hair. Now head to Beach Dungeon 2, and go through the portal in the top right. Hunt Wootan Shooters until you get 15 Elastic Bands. Finally head to einbroch dungeon 1, hunt Pitman until you collect 15 Old Pick. Go back to eden to obtain the new gear. Louis offers the Advanced Armor sets, be careful not to spam enter when talking to them, otherwise you might select physical instead of magical by accident. Labraham offers the weapons, try to choose the weapon that gives a skill bonus to the better leveling skill. This might be hard to figure out, so you can ask in #support or #global chat channels for help. You can also now buy Advanced Shadow Gear from Lucy, however this will cost you 20 Eden Coins to rent for 3 days. Eden Coins are obtained by doing Eden Boards for level 100 or higher. Now go to the main office, and head to the far right. Take all the available quests on the board. Head to complete illusion Moonlight, illusion Frozen, and illusion Vampire. You can turn the quest in after you complete each one. Now is where it can get a little bit difficult depending on your build and the gear you have available. Try to do illusion Teddy, illusion Abyss2, illusion Luanda, illusion Twins, and illusion Labyrinth. It's ok to struggle through these if you are making progress on the quest. The huge exp is worth it. If you can't do any more of these you can do some eden board quests. Once you run out of quests you can reasonably finish, start the episode 17.1 main questline. Once you gain access to Rudus dungeon, you can grind at Rudus floor 2, and Rudus floor 3. Make sure to take the Eden Board quests for these areas as well. Cor Core and Unknown Parts are valuable items for newer players. If it's tough to kill these monsters, finish the episode 17.1 questline and buy the Grace Set equipment. This should help a bit, but you may need to acquire some cards for it to be better than Advanced Eden Armor. This depends on the build you are playing though. An easy boost of exp at level 180+ is the thanatos fragment turn in. However its kind of a lot of work to obtain the fragments at this point. So try and buy them from other players that can easily obtain them. (It takes a geared player like a few minutes to get enough). Basically continue struggling with Main office boards and Eden Board Quests until you hit level 200. This is by far the hardest part of leveling. After you finish grinding to 200, leveling from this point forward is a bit easier until level 230. But at this point you should be looking into what gear you can get to improve from here, opposed to being super focused on leveling. For level 240+ you can level in the Clock Tower Basement Dungeon. (This is a new dungeon not just the regular floors of the clock tower). It is extremely crowded with monsters, but is the best place to level besides daily quest turn ins. It's also a great place to farm zeny and valuable materials.
