Leveling Recommendations
For solo leveling, I recommend the following:
Follow the main story line, if you are a new player:
Balenos (Velia) → Serendia (Heidel) → Calpheon → Media → Valencia
OR Mountain of Eternal Winter main quest line will get you to level 51. (The game doesn’t recommend that beginners start here because of the story line. However, I like it because it’s a quick and easy way to quest for level 51.)
You may want to hold off on doing the side quests right away. Side quests in beginner zones will give you 1% per quest when below level 58. (1.3% with a Chenga Tome)
Valencia main quest gives a lot of experience if you are level 55 to 57. “[Lv.55 Valencia] Eastern Sands Kingdom Story” and “[Lv.56 Valencia II] Treasure of Valencia.”
Completing both main and side quests in Valencia give combat EXP.
Valencia and Mountain of Eternal Winter are the only zones to offer Combat Exp for completing the main quest line. However, Valencia is also the most difficult zone for unprepared players due to desert sickness and desert travel.
If you are not level 59 after finishing Valencia, do the beginner side quests you skipped earlier. (Calpheon City is a good place to find easy side quests.)
At level 59, go to Kamasylvia, Drieghan, and Star’s End and do side quests for 1.3% per quest. Main quest lines for these zones do not give combat exp, but it’s good to do them at least once per family.
