For leveling, I won't be going too much into detail on this one, as there are already other guides out there that break it down thoroughly and served a complete input on where to farm best for each leveling stages. [[Yvonne's Guide#Leveling Guide|Yvonne's Guide]], [[Choi%27s_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Starting_out_and_Leveling|Choi's Guide]], and [[The Road to a Billion Zeny - Newbie Leveling/Farming Guide#Leveling|AcidMembrane's Guide]] listed all the important dungeons where people can casually level up their characters from Levels 1-99, 100-200, and 200-275. You can follow their guides as you start the leveling phase of the game. Altogether with what we've talked about regarding the class particularly on the [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Magician|Magician]] and [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Sorcerer|Sorcerer]] sections, you can apply all of these when leveling up. I'll just go make a brief summary to refresh your recollection and give out tips on how to level up as a '''Mage''' transitioning to '''Sage''' 'til '''Professor''', and as a '''Sorcerer''' transitioning to an '''Elemental Master'''.

* The first thing I need to remind you when leveling up is do not worry if you mistakenly put skill points to the wrong skills. We have '''NPC''' '''Build Manager Lotus''' {{#navi:main_office|122|169}} that could reset your skill tree anytime with a very affordable cost of 5,000 zeny. And while leveling up, you will want to allocate skill points to leveling skills such as  '''{{#skill:17}}''' and '''{{#skill:18}}'''. These two skills is what you will use as a Mage, a Sage, as a High Magician, and as a Professor. These two skills will 2-3 hits mobs in the leveling dungeons, thanks to the Eden Gears we have available. To learn more about the Eden Gears, more info are provided [[Beginners_Guide#How_to_play_MuhRo|here]].

* Upon reaching 3rd job, you must first collect your [[Beginners_Guide#Gear|Advanced Paradise Gears]] from '''NPC Louis''' {{#navi:eden|108|87}} and '''NPC Labraham''' {{#navi:moc_para01|108|83}} before continuing your leveling grind. Now here, I suggest you pick {{#icon:540031}}{{#linkitem:540031|Paradise Sorcerer Magic Book}} over {{#icon:540032}}{{#linkitem:540032|Paradise Sorcerer Spellbook}} because for leveling you would want to use your 3rd job elemental AoE skills for faster farming instead of elemental bolt skills for '''{{#skill:2445}}'''. Choi made a brief description in this [[Choi%27s_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Gear_Progression_OR_How_I_Think_About_Gear|section]] of his guide on where to farm the required materials you will need to turn-in for the Advanced Paradise Gears.

* Third and final option is to find a good soul to leech you all the way to Elemental Master. As an act of courtesy, at least provide an {{#item:17608}}[GFW] to the leecher and I'm pretty sure by this point you have collected enough {{#item:50000}}either from opening {{#item:50001}} or daily log-in rewards. You can purchase a GFW from the Muh Coin shop. You'll need to exchange 18 Muh Coins for 180 Muh Points. To do this, talk to the '''NPC''' '''Rich Cow''' {{#navi:main_office|87|59}} in the '''Main Office''' ('''@go 15''').

* Finally after a millennia, you're now an Elemental Master! Congrats! It's now easier to level up with your 4th skills. Get any of your 4th Job AoE skill and you'll do just fine leveling up. If you're curious as to what and how's the proper way to play EM and rotating your skills, go to this [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Skill_Rotation|section]] of the guide.

*'''Victory Wing Ears''' ('''VWE''') will be used to combo with {{#item:480125}} for better stats later on during [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Part_II|Part II]] of early game progression; VWE gives more ACD too and is ''slightly'' more expensive than CCB.
*'''Cor Core Booster''' ('''CCB''') gives more VCT% than VWE and combos with {{#item:420003}}. CCB won't combo with {{#item:480125}} and is ''slightly'' cheaper than VWE.

*'''Yortus Conjurator Card''' used to be extremely expensive for the strong damage boost it provides but now it's relatively cheaper.
*'''Bathory Card''' is preferably worn when you farm in [[Thanatos_Tower_Revamp|Thanatos Tower Flr. 12]] for raw zeny. This card makes you immune to the monsters' https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/653.png '''Dark Soul Strike''' and https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/653.png '''Dark Jupitel Thunder'''.
*'''The Chief Knight of Abyss Card''' is the budget version of {{#item:300472}} and works best against boss monsters and MVPs.

*'''Illusion Thorny Staff of Darkness''' ('''ITSoD''') is obtained from [[Illusion of Twins#Illusion Gear|Illusion of Twins]]. Can be enchanted with {{#item:100004}}.
**ITSoD combos with {{#icon:19428}}{{#linkitem:19428|Illusion Morpheus's Hood}}to give various effects that scale with the sum of their total refine level, '''including 0'''.'''5s FCT reduction''' <u>when the entire set's sum is refined to +22</u>.
**ITSoD on its own gives some ACD% and MDef pierce that is additive to your free Paradise Shadow Gears. When ITSoD is refined to +11, that is already equivalent to 15% ACD and 83% MDef pierce (with the Paradise Shadow Gears).
**Can be refined using the {{#item:100699}}, dropped by monsters at [[Illusion of Twins]].
*'''Paradise Sorcerer Magic Book''' is a remainder weapon from your early leveling gears as a Sorcerer.

*'''Nightmare Verit Card''' is much cheaper and gives more MAtk%.
*'''Icewind Card''' is a bit more expensive but gives 5% VCT to help you reach instant cast.
*'''Volcaring Card''' is your cheapest option when you can't afford to buy either Nightmare Verit Card or Icewind Card yet.
