Leveling Spots & Tips

As Monk

Monk's Leveling Route:
Monsters	Recommended level	End level	Notes	Map
Familiar Zombie Poporing Skeleton	12	30	In first levels, beware of poporings, Familiar can be a bit annoying. Silver Arrows, almost everything is undead.	Area: Payon Cave - Payon Cave F1
Spores Poporing Everything	12	30	Since spores give Strawberry and Blue herbs it is quite useful to get SP resources.	Area: Payon Cave - Payon Cave F2
Archer Skeleton Soldier Skeleton	35	50	Loot valuable in general for early levels, apple of archer is useful and Skeleton cards have their market. Be careful not to kill more than 1 at a time in the beginning. Nice loot and cards for Archer class. Silver Arrows needed.	Area: Payon Forest - pay_dun0
Wolf Everything	30	50	Wolves have a huge source of consumables both sp and hp, so it is an excellent area to leveling, unfortunately the initial zeny is not very useful. Fire Arrows.	Area: Payon Forest - Pay_fild02
Bongun Munak	40	60	The experience is decent, beware of the only nine tail on the map. Silver Arrows	Area: Payon Cave - Payon Cave F3
Geographer	40	60+	Nice Exp. Keep a distance of at least 3 cells and you will be safe. It is not recommended to kill more than 1 at a time in early levels or without SP. You can easily reach Einbroch if you buy a teleport scroll at the Gold Shop.	ein_fild04 - Einbroch Field
Mi Gao	40	60+	Nice Exp. Keep a distance. In first levels, always give priority to kill Mantis close to you. You can easily reach Louyang if you buy a teleport scroll at the Gold Shop, or going Alberta.	lou_fild01 - Louyang Field

Recommended Gear Progression (As Newbie)

Adventurers Guild

The adventurers set is an own set of the server, it is almost free, the only requirement is to perform the quests it has for you.

It is divided into three tiers, doubling its cost each time, getting the complete set without the weapon has a value of 20, 40 and 80.

We recommend getting the set as it is account bound and you can use it on your next characters, it is not tradeable.

You can replace the bow for dagger or sword option or what suits you better, it is just a suggestion and it is NOT mandatory to have the weapon of the set to take advantage of the benefits. This choice maybe change leveling spots only.
