DO NOT DO THESE THINGS:
1. Making a Night Lord OR Buccaneer FIRST character
(Night Walker/Thunder Breaker are easier, FASTER lvling, more dmg for first 200 levels)
2. Turning in ANY of Ephey's weeklies before lvl 30
(see Custom Features)
3. Not claiming your OP Pink Tube in Ephey Milestones after 2nd job adv.
4. Using Auto Assign AP
(See Ability Points)
5. Not getting married ASAP
(see Make $$$)
6, Not following a guide for your class
7. Not Poison Training if you class can
(See Leveling Progression)

Level Fast, Naturally strong, Flashy
ST = single target
Cleave = multi target skills
Stance = immune to being knocked around
ST = single target
Cleave = multi target skills
Stance = immune to being knocked around
| Class | PROS | CONS |
| Blaze Wizard (Cygnus Knight) | Fastest leveler in entire game (Best Mobbing) Cleave God (excels at Horntail, Zakum, Empress) 50% Stance (2 min up time) Teleport (Great APQ mule) Fire element Can neutralize against fire resistant | Weak single target dmg + No bossing buffs = unwanted for Daily Bosses Stance is 50% + 5 min cooldown Magic Guard can be dispelled by Server bosses |
| Thunder Breaker (Cygnus Knight) | Good Mobbing Cleave God (excels at Horntail, Zakum, Empress) 100% stance Desired bossing buff (Speed Infusion) | Mediocre Single target dmg Stance requires charging |
| Night Walker (Cygnus Knight) | Highest unfunded bossing damage High Avoid in place of stance Fastest 80-120 leveling (3 hours) Desired DPS for bossing Flash Jump at 2nd Job (great APQ mule) | Slow leveling 120+ (same as other non-mage explorers) No bossing buffs |
| Dawn Warrior (Cygnus Knight) | Great cleave AND ST damage Great Mobbing skills Permanent Stance (no down time) Scuffed Flash Jump | No Bossing Buffs. |
| Ice Lightning Mage (Explorer) | Good mobbing for leveling 50% stance (2 mins) Teleport (great APQ mule) | Weak single target dmg + No bossing buffs = unwanted for Daily Bosses Stance is 50% + 5 min cooldown Magic Guard can be dispelled by Server bosses |
Why Leveling Fast Matters?- The game is essentially Bossing past 130
- Bossing is the Biggest and & best consistent EXP & money
- if you don't like Mage Story
Playing Bishop is great utility (door & Holy Symbol) guarantees you get into Daily bosses, but...
- Painfully Slow leveling until 4th job
- but fastest leveling 120-160
- Great for leveling new characters & farming
- 2nd job's Heal skill great mobbing at MP3
- Angel Ray 40 costs a lot for a noob (90m as of 07/24/22)
- Teleport (great APQ mule)
- Most demanded party & bossing buff
These are not BAD classes, but...
- Shitty mobbing = slow leveling
- Make them AFTER you get funds from your easy first character
- Funds allow you to skip the first 120 levels in a few hours
- NO REASON to play this when Night walker:
- does more damage
- 10x faster levelling
- gets flash jump 2nd job instead of 3rd
- Only good for Meso Up or being Sed
- No bossing buffs
- No bossing buffs
- Has amazing cleave damage
- Permanent Stance
- No bossing buffs
- Can deal 2x dmg, but..
- requires constant attention to HP
- Slow leveling unless apple roaring 80 to 140
- Terrible bossing damage until 153 & funded
- Permanent Stance
- Demanded HP party buff
- Can remove CMA/CWA (4th job)
- Fire, Ice, Lightning element at 3rd job
- Permanent Stance
- No bossing buffs
- gets cute battleship
- can glide slowly from high places
- No bossing buffs
- No reason to play this when Thunder Breaker:
- levels 10x faster
- does way more damage prior to 200
- only play this if you want to get Time Leap for community service
- Rarest bossing buff
- No reason to play this when Blaze Wizard exists
- Weak single target damage unwanted for bossing
- No bossing buffs
- Good cleaving AND ST damage
- Holy element at 3rd job
- Stance
- Needs a lot of SP to max out cleave, ST, stance, AND SE buff
- Highly demanded bossing buff
- Ask Plop & Milo
- Huge single target damage
- No stance (unlike Wind Archer)
- Highly Demanded Damage party buff
I am telling you what you NEED to hear NOT what sounds good "pLaY AnYtHiNg yOu wAnT"
Less secondary stat = More funding required later
Mages- Pour everything into INT to be OP
- Nothing significant requires LUK until lvl 100
- You will be rich by lvl 100 if you do APQ to afford LUK gear
- Pour everything into STR to be OP
- BUT you will need to BEG for Baskets or you will MISS everything
- BUT you will need to BEG for
- End game gear does not require DEX
- Only add DEX if you want to wearStone Tooth Sword (lvl 100) for 40 levels lol
- Add secondary stat, but no more than 50 BASE amount
- I recommend just adding from lvl 90 to 100 (50 AP)
- AP Reset it when you're around lvl 150
| Class | Primary Stat | Secondary Stat |
| Warrior | STR | DEX |
| Bowman | DEX | STR |
| Mage | INT | LUK |
| Thief | LUK | DEX |
| Knuckler | STR | DEX |
| Gun | DEX | STR |
THIS IS ALL YOU NEED, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
