<h2> This is a quick guide to easy solo leveling 101. (Roughly 30 minutes total.) </h2>
1. Talk to our little novice right here and head over to beginner zone to kill a bunch of porings. Stay until you've read level 70. Make sure to invest in both dex and int stats.
<div>[[File:LU101.jpg]]<br><br><div>
2. Change your job to acolyte and head over to pay_dun00, kill until you've reach level 90. Don't forget to invest in dex and int stats.
<div>[[File:LU102.jpg]]<br><br><div>
3. Learn level 10 Heal and head over to pay_dun02, use Heal on the undead type monsters in the map. Stop once you hit 90 job.
<div>[[File:LU103.jpg]]<br><br><div>
4. Change your job to priest. Head back to pay_dun02 and get some job levels. Don't forget to learn Level 11 Heal.
<div>[[File:LU104.jpg]]<br><br><div>
5. Warp to in_sphinx4 and use the overpowered level 11 Heal on the Anubis. Still increase your dex and int stats. *You may stop increasing your dex once you hit 170.
<div>[[File:LU105.jpg]]<br><br><div>
6. At around level 130, head over to abbey02. You'll need 2 heals to kill one Zombie Slaughter. Continue this way of leveling up until you hit 170 dex and around 250 int.
<div>[[File:LU106.jpg]]<br><br><div>
7. Once you've hit the 250 int and 170 dex base stats, head back to amatsu. Buy around 150+ blue gemstones. Fix your skills to learn Level 10 Magnus Exorcismus.
<br>
8. Head to abbey03, just spam Magnus Exorcismus to where the Necromancer then @jump. Repeat this process while maxing your int to 450. Within 10-20 minutes, you'll be maxed to 500.
<div>[[File:LU107.jpg]]<br><br><div>
9. You could change job by paying 5M (Novice) or 10M (Knight/Paladin/etc) to go to your desired job.
10. Enjoy~
