Leveling guide by caineghis:
Hey everyone,
This post is more aimed at newer players to the server , i'll be going over where to lvl , what gear you need , what bonusses , what you need to pick up etc.
Where to level?:
You can take a couple of levelling routes you can do
A:
lvl 1-15 map1, Location: First map you spawn in
lvl 15-35 map2, Location: Go to your TP ring & press territories of your kingdom and select the 2nd option
lvl 35-45 V2, Location: TP ring - Neutral Territories - Spider cave 2 (v2) (You can also just walk through V2 to get to V3 or lvl to 45 in V1 but thats up to you)
lvl 45-75 V3, Location: TP ring - Neutral Territories - Spider Cave 3 (v3)
lvl 75-90 wc2, Location: TP ring - Neutral Territories - Watery Cavern 2
lvl 90-105 Dawn, Location: TP ring - Special Territories - First Option - Dawn (the main spot is going straight ahead until you reach a big spot of Lemures)
lvl P1 Ocean Valley, Location: Talk with the Prestige Teleporter -> Prestige maps -> Ocean Valley
lvl P3 Enchanted Forest, Location: Talk with the Prestige Teleporter -> Prestige maps -> Enchanted Forest
B: (more efficient if you can take it)
lvl 1-15: map1, Location: First map you spawn in
lvl 15-45: Metins map, Location: TP ring - Special territories - Metins map
lvl 45-75/80 V3, Location: TP ring - Neutral territories - Spider Cave (v3)
Lvl 75/80-90 WC2/Dragon Room (Google how to get there , it's too much to explain here) You will need 3 dragon god symbols which drop from Zin Heaven General (spawns right outside of dragon room)
Lvl 90-105 Dawn, Location: TP ring - Special Territories - First Option - Dawn (the main spot is going straight ahead until you reach a big spot of Lemures)
lvl +P1 Ocean Valley, Location: Talk with the Prestige Teleporter -> Prestige maps -> Ocean Valley
lvl +P3 Enchanted Forest, Location: Talk with the Prestige Teleporter -> Prestige maps -> Enchanted Forest
What gear do you need?:
You dont really need any gear until you reach WC2 except for some recommendations.
You should get a lvl 30 weapon with 30% average damage
As a ninja/warrior/sura you want to use a Full Moon Sword
As a Shaman you should use an Antique Bell
As a Lycan claws are your only option
You can get Half Human bonusses for Spider Cave to do more damage as well.
I suggest getting a lvl 70 armor at least +7 and putting the following stones in them: Vita+7 , Defence+7 , Ducking/Blocking+7
A lvl 75 weapon is a MUST HAVE , roll your weapon until you have at least 30% avg should be doable if you're new. If you lvl an alt 40+ is better and faster. You should also put the following stones in your weapon: Mobs+7 , Crit +7 , Pierce +7.
As a ninja/warrior/sura you want to use a Poison Sword to level
As a Shaman Obviously a Bamboo Bell
As a Lycan you can only use claws so thats that.
Get a lvl 61 shield they help A LOT , they're also very very easy to +9.
If you can , a lvl 60 or 80 helmet would help you but it's not required
55 boots , 51 boots or 29 boots would be ideal here. But not required.
What Bonusses do you need?
If you want to lvl as fast as possible get Chance to receive Double experience on your shoes/necklace & shield 20% is the max. (This stat isn't guaranteed to give 60% bonus exp it is a 60% chance to get double exp from the mob you kill.)
Like I stated above bonusses & gear isn't really required until WC2.
If you still struggle with WC2 after getting gear I highly recommend the following bonusses: Health (2k max) in general, Resist against arrow (15% max) , Block (15% max), Chance to avoid arrows (15 or 20% max not sure) & Half Human (10% max) as an offensive bonus.
Lvl 90's map: the lemures are basically the only mobs you want to be leveling at and those are weak to Devil which is basically the only bonus you want, its not needed but you kill them faster. What I do recommend is getting some decent pvp gear at this point since you are gonna run into a lot of players.
P1 Ocean Valley map: you need Orcs bonus for this map
P3 Enchanted Forest map: you need Devils bonus for this map
What should you keep and what not?
You want to pick up Hexagonal Treasure Boxes those give liquids (useful for pvp later).
Moonlight Boxes, most of this is trash but you have a small chance to get factory packages or Crit/Pierce palms & dragon god buffs.
Master Chests, those drop from metin stones and give you very useful things such as exp rings, blessing marbles, dragon god buffs and more.
Pick up every weapon/armor/accessory above lvl 35 and you can turn them into Vitality Ores at the General Store, Vitality Ores are what you need to upgrade lvl 90-105 and Prestiged equipment.
Counter Attack Strategies: Those are needed to make epic weapons/armor & to upgrade prestige equipment.
Dragon Stone Shards: Accept the quest from the alchemist at lvl 45 and you are able to create stones that give very good bonusses for pvp. 6 Shards turn into 1 cor draconis (rough) which gives you a dragon stone: diamond/ruby/jade/sapphire/garnet/onyx.
How do you increase the exp you get?
There are multiple ways for this:
#1 Double exp rings(100% extra exp): You can buy 1 hour exp rings from the general store for 95kk or 95.000.000. and you can get 3 hour exp rings from Master Chests which , as i stated earlier , drop from metin stones. Both give 50% extra exp each.
#2 As I explained in the bonus section the chance of double exp bonusses on necklace/shoes/shield for a total of 60% chance on double exp drop.
#3 Azrael Pet (50% extra exp): You can buy an azrael pet from the Item Mall for 95FC
#4 Mall Exp Ring (100% extra exp): If you have all of the above and you still think it's slow you can purchase a mall exp ring in the Item Mall for 55FC for 7 days or 105fc for 30 days. (The description says it's only 50% but in reality they give 100%)
#5 Dark Lion Seal (30% extra exp): You can buy it from the Item Shop for 95FC
