A Start to Levelling Alts

Introduction

This is mostly a guide aimed at levelling alts that I would do multi-clienting but also there should be no problems for a newer player to follow along until 3rd Jobs.

This should apply to most any classes but for this guide, I will be using an Archer to demonstrate and will not be multi-clienting as I normally would.

They will need to branch off later, as the guide focuses mostly on leeching the most of the levels to make the experience easier and makes use of the abundantly available [Bound] Battle Manual (12263) from Eden but is also optional, it will just take a bit longer and need to repeat quests.

This isn't really a guide specifically on how to level a class but more of a way to mass produce alts for whatever purpose you may have, maybe you'll have better luck with this Guide to Levelling Various Characters as I'm not really interested in the gearing process, only getting them to 250 as fast as I can.

I will not go in to what I farm or what's good to farm as there's another guide out there such as Multi Client Farming but maybe in the future.

Another really good guide to follow starting up is - The Road to a Billion Zeny - Newbie Leveling/Farming Guide.

Setting Up & Notes

Before making the character you want to level, it is highly recommended to make a Merchant for Discount & Overcharge.

This will save up on costs and help you in the early game.

I'd also recommend on stocking up on Fly Wing (601) available from any Tool Dealer. The way it goes is usually to Kill -> Fly Wing and repeat until you're done with whatever you're doing.

The process to quickly setting one up is:

Decline tutorial
Job change to Merchant
Go to @go paramk to buy a Meteor Storm Scroll (14512) from Madoha ( More details below).
Add 10 Dex & rest to Int, and warp to Anthell.
Cast Meteor Storm on Ant Eggs

Once done, buy 6x Holy Water (523) & 6x Blue Gemstone (717) from any Tool Dealer(This will be used later for Cautious Village quest), and then send the rest of remaining Zeny to your bank to use on the character you want to level.

Make sure you have autoloot set to 100% as you'll want to be selling everything you find.

Put items you want to keep in your inventory in your Favourites Tab.

Useful @commands

@lastwarp
@storeall
@getall
@go eden
@go main

Make sure you're always throwing your loot in to your storage using @storeall. This is so you can earn more Zeny by selling them on your Merchant to the NPC's.

More player commands found here

While you're under the effects of [Bound] Battle Manual (12263) or Novice Battle Manual (7803) or even [Bound] Bubble Gum (12264) , the timer will be paused while you are in any town EXCEPT IF YOU'RE IN EDEN OR MAIN OFFICE (as of 16/07/25).

So keep note where you are afking or alt-tabbed!

Starting

First Job

Spawning initially will bring you to Lunos which will prompt you whether to start the tutorial or not.

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

Most notable rewards are Novice Battle Manual (7803) & C. Beginner Cap (20307) .

Do note that the Novice Battle Manual is only usable between levels 1~40.

Enter Main Office and change to a job to your liking!

Once done, go to @go paramk and find Madoha at (paramk 96, 199) and purchase 2x Meteor Storm Scroll (14512) .

Afterwards, go to @go eden and join the Eden Group.

Now it's time to begin the process, begin with adding 10 Dex and the rest to Int then warp to Anthell Dungeon.

Cast Meteor Storm on the Ant Eggs, this should get you enough levels (Level 10 minimum) to get Armor from the Eden Group.

Go to @go edenand go to (moc_para01 106, 92).

Talk to the two NPC's; Lucy & Lothaire. Grab the Shadow Gears from Lucy, grab a suitable Weapon & Armour from Lothaire.

Afterwards, go back to buy more Meteor Storm Scrolls and use on Ant Eggs in Anthell until you're level 40+ unless you have access to AoE skills as the Eden Gears you obtained earlier will let you easily kill them now.

Once reaching at least 40, you can return to Eden and take all the quest from Eden Board 40-69.

Afterwards, we now go to Orc Dungeon to the next step of the process.

Lucy
Lothaire
Eden Board 40-69

Afterwards, we now go to Orc Dungeon to the next step of the process.

Finish the kill quest in here by killing Orc Zombies in Floor 1 then proceed to Floor 2 for Orc Skeletons & Zenorcs

Orc Dungeon Kill Quest
Mob	Amount
Orc Zombie (1153)	20
Orc Skeleton (1152)	20
Zenorc (1177)	20

Second Job

By the time you finish this, you will have hit Job Level 50. Now it's time to Job Change before handing in the quest.

When you're done changing jobs, return to Eden and hand in the Board Quest.

Your next step is to take the quests from the 70-99 Mission Board to take on Glast Heim!

How to get there:

Warper
Glast Heim
Monastery

Glast Heim Kill Quest
Mob	Amount
Evil Druid (1117)	15
Wraith (1192)	15
(Optional lvl 90+) Dark Priest (2283)	10
(Optional lvl 90+) Furious Dark Priest (2861)	1

Rinse & repeat the quest until you have reached 99/50.

In some cases that you are close to 99/50 and would overlevel by handing in the quest, you can finish off you're levelling by grouping the mobs in Orc Dungeon to finish it off.

Pre-Rebirth & Rebirth

Just before Rebirth, now would be the perfect time to make use of the 6x Holy Water (523) & 6x Blue Gemstone (717) that was bought earlier before starting and grab it from your storage or from your Merchant alt.

Go to @go 34 and start Cautious Village . The quest guide is a little terrible so I'll be covering it here briefly to show the way to do it faster.

YOU NEED THE HOLY WATER & BLUE GEMSTONES IN YOUR INVENTORY

Cautious Village Steps

Go to (malaya 185, 354) and talk to Leader Phong to start the quest.
Talk to Old Man Nardo close to Leader Phong.
Go to (malaya 221, 265) and talk to the Father & Daughter pair; Romel & Talah (You must talk to both separately!).
Go to (malaya 123, 216) and talk to Blacksmith Pandoi.
Go to @go 34to return to the middle of Port Malaya.
Go to (malaya 292, 171) and talk to Collection Dealer Woeon.
Go to (malaya 325, 74) and talk to Pedro the Sailor (Option 2 > Option 1).
Go to @go 34 and return to Leader Phong (Spam spacebar).
He will ask you to give everyone Holy Waters & Blue Gemstones.
Talk to Old Man Nardo to give him a Holy Water & a Blue Gemstone.
Romel & Talah are next.
Blacksmith Pandoi
Collection Dealer Woeon
Pedro the Sailor
STOP THE QUEST AFTER HERE

Leader Phong & Old Man Nardo
Talah & Romel
Blacksmith Pandoi
Collection Dealer Woeon
Pedro the Sailor

You will hand in the quest later on after reaching 2nd Job again.

Before rebirthing you can also make more preparations such as finishing Orc Dungeon and/or Glast Heim Board Quest but this is optional but recommended while you're still able to easily kill them.

Buying 1 or 2 Meteor Storm Scroll (14512) depending on if you have completed the extra board quests prior.

Once you're all ready and prepared, it's now time to Rebirth.

High Novice to Third Job

Now it's all the same steps that was mentioned above, putting in points in to Int & Dex, using Meteor Storm Scroll (14512) on Ant Eggs in Anthell to get your first job.

But this time we will be on a 30-minutes timer using the Novice Battle Manual (7803) from the tutorial, pop it just before you kill the Ant Eggs.

After Job Level 10

Return to the Job Change in @go main and grab your 1st Transcendent Class.
Hand in Orc Dungeon Board
1. If you didn't prepare it then.
2. Go back to Anthell to kill more Ant Eggs until you reach Job Level 50
Grab 2nd Transcendent Class.
Return to @go 34 to finish of Cautious Village.
Go to (malaya 185, 354) and talk to Leader Phong to finish the quest.

This will give you enough exp to reach 99/70 with the Novice Battle Manual (7803) active and no EXP Event.

With the [Bound] Battle Manual (12263) , you will need to finish off the rest of the exp from anywhere like Orc Dungeon by killing Orc Zombies as they're easy to group.

UNLESS there is an EXP Event on-going then the normal [Bound] Battle Manual (12263) from Eden will be enough to let you hit 99/70.

Now you're able to Job Change to your 3rd Job.

Hand in the Glast Heim quest if you still had one saved up from earlier to get some quick Job Levels to start off.

Leeching & Manual Levelling: Path to 250

The ultimate goal is to reach Level 250, which is the highest level required for you to be able to wear any type of gear.

But this is where I'd consider the path splitting off between Alts & New Characters, as leeching yourself will be the fastest way.

From this point on, you will want to be under the permanent effect of a [Bound] Battle Manual (12263) which costs 20x Eden Coin (25223) but only if you can afford it.

Eden Machine Location - (moc_para01 49, 31)

Leeching

A somewhat general guide for levelling through this method would be to make use of the Daily Hunt NPC and do Iillusion Dungeon bounties.

Your party composition if you're multi-clienting should at least have the Carry + Arch Bishop/Cardinal.

The Cardinal will be providing you the best utility for streamlining the levelling, and keeping your levelling Alts healthy.

Mandatory Skills for Cardinal
Notable Skill	Effect
Teleport	Teleporting around
Warp Portal	Unlocking locked dungeons for your Alts
Aspersio	Holy Weapon endow.
Resurrection	Revive dead alts
Clementia	AoE Blessing
Cantocandidus	AoE Increase Agility
Praefatio	AoE Kyrie Eleison
Lauda Agnus	Cleanse Frozen status
Sacrament	Speeds up casting (important if your Cardinal is not geared)
Convenio	Essentially ahttps://muhro.eu/flux/data/zrenderer_cache/item/icon/12212.png Giant Fly Wing (12212) (MUST BE THE PARTY LEAD)
Mediale Votum	Improved & better Renovatio.

Other items might be useful in these dungeons like materials for crafting but I really don't pay attention to them much and throw them all in storage.

Fastest way to Illusion Dungeons (auto completed and only have a level requirement to enter):

Warper > Illusion Dungeons

Part 1: Illusion of Moonlight

Nothing important to note about Illusion of Moonlight.

Illusion of Moonlight Monsters
Mob	HP	Size	Race	Element
Bitter Munak (3760)	17,728	Medium	Undead	Undead 1
Bitter Bongun (3761)	19,077	Medium	Undead	Undead 1
Bitter Sohee (3762)	22,414	Medium	Demon	Water 2
Resentful Soldier (3763)	20,843	Medium	Undead	Undead 1
Angry Nine Tail (3759)	21,875	Medium	Brute	Fire 3
Fury Hero (3765)	24,078	Medium	Undead	Undead 3
Wizard of Veritas (3764)	121,847	Medium	Undead	Shadow 1
Anger Moonlight (3758)	4,287,803	Medium	Demon	Fire 3

For Illusion of Moonlight, you will need to kill 100 Mobs inside the Dungeon. I would just repeat this quest 3x but you can do it as much as you'd like really but try not to go over the x15 daily limit for Forgotten Heirloom (50001) .

Notable items:

Part 2: Illusion of Frozen (Optional)

Be wary of Anger Gazeti as this will be your most dangerous mob due to it being ranged and uses Cold Bolt and can use Auto Guard.

You may be prone to being frozen often as the other mobs use Frost Nova.

This is where an Archbishop/Cardinal alt can help you with using Lauda Agnus to cleanse the Freeze.

Illusion of Frozen Monsters
Mob	HP	Size	Race	Element
Anger Gazeti (3792)	57,541	Medium	Demon	Water 1
Anger Snowier (3793)	66,540	Large	Formless	Water 2
Anger Ice Titan (3794)	72,045	Large	Formless	Water 3
Solid Icicle (3795)	1,012	Small	Formless	Water 2
Awaken Ktullanux (3796)	13,521,443	Large	Brute	Water 4

Once again, the usual kill 100 Mobs inside the Dungeon. Also the usual repeat as many as you feel like.

Notable items:

Part 3: Illusion of Vampire

Not much to note about this dungeon, it's arguably easier to do than Illusion of Frozen but have a higher HP pool but won't die as much as there isn't a Gazeti around.

Illusion of Vampire Monsters
Mob	HP	Size	Race	Element
Starving Living Dead (3752)	290,984	Medium	Undead	Undead 1
Living Dead (3751)	253,926	Medium	Undead	Undead 1
Living Dead (3753)	267,379	Medium	Undead	Undead 2
Matt Drainliar (3750)	242,246	Small	Brute	Shadow 2
Sweet Nightmare (3754)	261,334	Large	Demon	Ghost 2
Black Mushroom (3755)	150,000	Small	Plant	Earth 1
Bomi (3756)	408,510	Medium	Demi-Human	Undead 2
Dracula of Rage (3757)	7,509,690	Large	Demon	Shadow 4

Repeat the usual steps of killing 100 Mobs until you feel like it or EXP has slowed down.

Notable items:

Illusion Stone (25271)
Vampire Refinement Box (100414)
Illusion Vampire Box (41083)
Bradium (6224)
Carnium (6223)
Alcohol (970)
Yggdrasil Berry (607)

Part 4: Illusion of Teddy Bear (optional)

Only annoying thing about this dungeon are mobs using Hiding.

A good source of Elunium & Oridecon

Illusion of Teddy Bear Monsters
Mob	HP	Size	Race	Element
Red Teddy Bear (20255)	328,072	Small	Formless	Fire 1
Yellow Teddy Bear (20256)	294,044	Small	Formless	Wind 1
Green Teddy Bear (20257)	331,960	Small	Formless	Poison 1
White Teddy Bear (20258)	311,841	Small	Formless	Neutral 1
Blue Teddy Bear (20259)	280,567	Small	Formless	Water 1
Pitman Worker (20261)	335,605	Large	Demon	Earth 2
Fragment of Soul (20262)	320,324	Small	Formless	Neutral 2
Sinister Obsidian (20263)	348,593	Small	Formless	Earth 2
Shining Teddy Bear (20260)	10,724,874	Large	Formless	Holy 4

Follows the usual of doing it until you feel like EXP has slowed or you have capped from x15 daily limit.

Notable items:

Manual Levelling

It's always a bit painful to get started to get your first character to 250 and will be a tough grind unless you have access to enough Zeny to somewhat gear yourself up a bit and take on tougher mobs but it's definitely possible.

After reaching 100, I would highly recommend farming or buying these items:

15x Elastic Band (7200) from Wootan Shooter (1498) .
3x Blue Hair (1034) from Kobold (1135) .
15x Old Pick (7318) from Pitman (1616) .
20x Eden Coin (25223) from Eden Board Quests.

These items will be required to exchange for Advanced Eden Gears & Advanced Shadow Gears in (moc_para01 106, 92) from the NPC's: Lucy, Louis, and Labraham.

Lucy
Louis
Labraham

These 3 will offer you Advanced Shadow Gears, Advanced Eden Armour, and Advanced Eden Weapon for your chosen class respectively.

This is almost mandatory to do as a newer player as they will provide a good amount of damage early on for you.
