Efficient leveling

Even if you say you want to get stronger, isn't there a way to get stronger faster…?
This page is for people like you.

Prerequisite knowledge: Getting stronger

  1. Accumulate SP and learn all the skills you want for your future job.
  2. In the job you want to become stronger in, accumulate SP rapidly (the amount of SP required varies depending on the method)
  3. Once you've accumulated enough SP, use it intensely at the Fountain of Wishes to boost your stats.
  4. It's complete once you reach level 99 with all stats maxed out.

This is a path you'll inevitably take unless you're aiming to conquer the highest level quest areas.
This guide shows you what you can do to get there faster.

Also, this page is clearly written from the perspective of someone who is intimately familiar with the game.
If you find it troublesome, I strongly recommend compromising to some extent.

Newly registered

If you've just registered, all you can do is work hard without thinking about anything else.
The thing you need to consider here is how much money you have.
If you just blindly eat whatevery you want at Patty's Bar, you'll run out of money in no time.
Save your money wisely and go to the casino.

Play on the $1slot machine and wait for a win.
This slot machine is easy to win on, and if you keep pressing the button repeatedly, your coins will rapidly increase.
Once you've exceeded roughly [the next machine up x 100] in coins, move up to the next machine and repeat.
Once you've accumulated 200,000 coins, exchange them for the ElevatingShoes.

These shoes are excellent because they give you Exp equal to the number of quest rounds you make it to, x20.
With these, your leveling efficiency as a beginner will increase dramatically.

Beginner-friendly: Strategy guide to leveling up

Pros

  • Your stats will increase, allowing you to help weaker players and even take on some of the stronger enemies.
  • You don't need to spend as much SP at the Fountain of Wishes.
  • Since you'll actually be using the job you're training, you'll get a sense of its appeal and fighting style during the training phase.
  • In many cases, you can understand the basic mechanics of the game.

Cons

  • It's inefficient unless your stats are high enough.
  • Improving efficienct requires quite a few things, such as area-of-effect attacks and accident prevention, so it's quite difficult to persue effectively
  • The key is your stat growth rate; if your MP growth is D, it's a whole different world, but if it's E then it's hell.
  • For the reasons mentioned above, teamwork is crucial; if you're soloing, you're easily overwhelmed by boss-type enemies.

This is the most reasonable approach, and personally, it's the one that puts me at ease. The most difficult part of this method is securing the necessary stats and skills.

To improve your stats, don't immediately change jobs at level 20.
By repeatedly changing jobs at high level, your stats will steadily increase.
You can start out changing at level 20, but it's recommended to gradually increase the level to 30, 35, 40, 35, and so on.
Once you're able to repeatedly change jobs around level 60, your stats should be stable.

Regarding skill acquisition, the ones I desire are as follows:

1. Area-of-effect attack

This greatly affects the efficiency of battles against weaker enemies.
While your stats are still unstable, having something like Sage's Boom magic should be sufficient.
Once your stats are stable, you'll generally want an area-of-effect attack that deals around 120-160 damage.
Anything above 180 is not recommended due to the high MP consumption, except for things like CoinToss…

2. Damage output

This greatly affects the efficiency of boss battles.
In reality, if your healing is stable, you can substitute whatever you're using as an area-of-effect attack.
If your healing is not stable, you should focus on stabilizing it through means other than damage output, so having higher damage output won't change the situation.
However, having higher damage output allows for earlier boss defeats, which reduces the burden.

3. HP recovery

Something like Midheal is sufficient; if you want more, then Multiheal or Cura would be good.

4. MP recovery

Definitely recommended if you're going to be spamming area-of-effect attacks like crazy.
If your stats are stable but you're still running out of MP, then either your job's MP is poor or your consumption is high.
You'll have to decide on whether to compromise or prioritize MP recovery.

Location Recommended status Notes
Mushroom ForestNew characters to those with 2 job changesBe careful of the MorpheanMushrooms in the boss battle against Treeface, and watch out for prolonged battles.
Secace SeacoveHP 100-?You should prioritize defeating any enemies that use magic, and you might want some healing magic, even if it's just Heal
SpiegelspireHP 150-?I like to have healing magic like Midheal, and since the boss's Frizzle is strong, I recommend the method of using MagicResist
Slime LandHP 200-? Watch out for SlimePharaoh. It's recommended to keep your HP above 200 during the boss battle

If your stats are stable and you have the ability to revive, you should be stable enough to lead a newbie by around level 30.
Once you reach this point, you can just have fun playing and aiming for the level cap.

Although I've written a lot here, don't lose sight of the job you originally desired just so you can level up efficiently.
If you can't pull it off, you'll have to compromise, even if doing so is a little less efficient.
