Hello all, I just wanted to post this little guide I put together for everyone who does not have a clue where to level anymore, and could use a little bit of help.
I will be updating bit by bit when I have the time, also feel free to give some more tips of your own, and I will include them in!
Thanks a lot and I hope it helps somebody out..~
Also, in the iROWiki Restart there's a few helpful topics aswell! Check it out:
=====================================================================================================================================
01-12 Novice Grounds
Just kill everything you can, take the quests from the Swordsman/Mage/Thief/Merchant Job helper, and you'll be Joblevel 10 in no time. I'd advice you to also get the Thief Skillbook, so you learn Double Attack just to make things easier in there.
As far as the Personality Quiz, check this URL to be sure to get your prefered Class picked from the test, it will give you a nice starting weapon which benefits your leveling speed.
http://irowiki.org/w...nds_Novice_Test
Once you've got your weapon and Phracon, be sure to upgrade your first real weapon to +7, do your Jobchange Quest and head on to the next step!

12-25/30 Spores (1S, 1W Alberta)
Kill everything in this map. It does not actually matter if you are AGI or VIT based, AGI will just be able to dodge more which leads to less potions used.
Grind your way through this stage, and be sure to safe the Strawberry and Mushroom Spore you get from Spore, they can be sold to players for a decent price.
Items to hold (Sell to players for a good price):
- Strawberry
- Mushroom Spore
If you have a little zeny to spend, be sure to buy:
- Muffler
- Shoes
- Guard/Buckler
- Some armor. (The slotted novice adventure suit you get can be equipped by any class (not restricted to novice only) and has 45 def. The only armor you can buy from NPC that rivals it is padded armor and up and not every class can use them. The only downside is it cannot be put in kafra, so be wary of that if you want to put a card in it.) - Thanks DarthaNyan for the tip!
The extra DEF. will reduce the amount of damage you'll take!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25-35 Peco Peco/Boa (1S, 2W Payon)
I usually just grind it out here. As an AGI class you have the benefit here, as a VIT character be careful for the Sonic Blow that Peco Peco uses, and they Assist each other when they are in ranged and getting hit by a Player.. Same as before, just kill everything on sight, since it's all extra EXP. VIT characters should be careful with Peco Peco at first, get around 500 hp so you can tank those Sonic Blows
Items to hold (Sell to players for a good price):
- Bill of Birds
- Snake Scale
- Venom Canine
- Strawberry
- Katana[4]
- Sandals[1]
- Peco Peco Card
By now you should be able to afford yourself a better weapon. Save up to 20k and buy an upgrade for the beginner's weapon and keep grinding here!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
35-45 Wolf (2S Payon)
Find a party and kill Wolves, careful of them though! They also Assist just like Peco Peco. Usually best to find a party and kill everything on sight, but you'll be able to manage with a bunch of Red Potions/Novice Potions/Meat.
Items to hold (Sell to players for a good price):
- Wolf Card
- Strawberry
- Animal Skin
- Wolf Claw
- Mantle[1] (Might use it yourself if you don't have a better DEF Armor equipped.
Save the Emveretarcon, they are used to upgrade Lvl 2 Weapons.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
45-Jobchange/65 Toy Factory 1-2
Get yourself into a party and slap everything at Toy Factory 2, or solo Toy Factory level 1. I actually partied at Toy Factory from Baselevel 45 to Jobchange, and after that I continued to level at Toy Factory 2, but just solo. Lots of good stuff that drop here, and usually this is the place where people farm to get their first 100k zeny.
Items to hold (Sell to players for a good price):
- Pearl
- Manacles
- Darkgreen Dyestuffs
- Hood[1]
- Sandals[1]
- Chef King Orleans Vol.1
- Christmas Cookie Card
- Cookie Card
- Cruiser Card
- Myst Case Card
Wellbaked Cookies and Piece of Cake sell for a nice amount with Overcharge 10.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Jobchange to 2-1 things get different for the most part. AGI and VIT characters will now pretty much go their separate ways, VIT characters will have their AoE skills while AGI characters will rely on Autoattacks mostly.
I have tested these leveling spots with both AGI and VIT characters and they are compatible for both.
