How to Level Up

The Experience (EXP) System

Every time you kill a monster or complete a quest, you receive experience points (EXP). EXP required for leveling follows an exponential progression, so each level needs much more than the previous one.

This means the early levels are fast, but from around level 30-40 the process becomes much slower.

The +5 Level Rule

If a monster is more than 5 levels above you, you will not receive experience for killing it.

This rule also applies to quest turn-ins: if the quest level exceeds your current level by more than 5, you cannot hand it in yet.

Example: if you are level 20, monsters up to level 25 still give EXP. A level 26 monster gives no experience.

Optimal Training Strategy

1. Always prioritize quests. They award large amounts of EXP and accelerate the early grind dramatically.
2. Target monsters that are 4 or 5 levels above you. That is the sweet spot between EXP gained and time spent.
3. Follow the quest route: every quest tells you where the story continues, so you always know where to go next.

The Quest Route

From level 18 to 58, quests form a route that takes you from city to city, always towards zones that match your level: it starts in the forests of Ullathorpe, Livinpire and Evilock, goes through the port of Livinpire, heads up to the Pole, crosses the Rinkel desert and the forests of Lindos, goes into Veril from Arghal and ends in Esperanza, facing the Infernal Forest.

The game guides you along it:

• Next quest: the quest window shows where the story continues (character, city and level). When you complete a quest, a notice shows the next ones you can already take; it is also written in the chat so you can read it again later.
• Locked quests: if a quest needs a previous one, it tells you which and where to find it. For example: You must complete «Fairy Remedy» — Maela the herbalist, Evilock City (level 23) first.
• Travel quests: some characters give you an item to carry to the next hub of the route (a royal dispatch, some sea charts, a branch of the Great Tree). These items are not lost on death. City teleporters save you many trips, except to the Pole, which can only be reached by boat.
• No needless locks: if a character has several quests, they offer the first one you can take. You can skip parts of the route and still play every zone’s quests; the quest icon only shows when there is something you can accept right now.

Quest Mechanics

• Quest items: they drop apart from the regular loot, so they do not lower the chance of the monster’s other drops. Dungeons never drop quest items.
• Elite loot: some items are only carried by elite monsters (the ones with an aura), such as the Warlocks’ Coven Seal or the Winged Demons’ horn.
• Zone-specific loot: Tobías’ relics are only dropped by the creatures of the Catacombs; the same creatures elsewhere do not have them.
• Sea creatures: mermaids, stingrays and seahorses leave their items floating on the water next to them. You need a boat to hunt them and pick the items up.
• Choices: only one person can get the shipwreck chest. If you give it to Captain Nerea, Silas will no longer deal with you, and the other way round.
• Fragile cargo: the Fairy Salve cannot travel through portals. While you carry it you cannot use city teleporters, the home rune or the teleport amulet, so it has to be carried on foot from Evilock to Ullathorpe. If you die, you are revived where you are.
• Summoning: two bosses are awakened by using an item from the inventory in a specific place. The Seal of Veril, in the sealed chamber of Veril (map 74, reached through the portal in map 73), awakens the Herald of Chaos; the Frost Spear, in the heart of the Infernal Forest (map 55), the Lord of the Abyss. They are far stronger than the monsters of their zone: better go as a group. Only one of each can exist at a time, and they leave after 10 minutes if nobody defeats them. If you lose the item, Ysolde or Neva can forge another one.
• Group loot: summoned bosses drop their quest item once for each group member on the map, so a single summon is enough for everyone.
• Progress at a glance: the quest window shows how many of each required item you carry (for example, 3/8). Tap an item to read where it comes from.
• Twin swords: quests with gear of your choice, except the repeatable ones, also offer a Swordsman twin sword, right or left, from the pair closest to their level. Between them you can complete all five pairs.

  • Collector (repeatable): Eternatus in the Underworld (Pole). Still the most lucrative quest.

Levels 60 - 65: World Bosses (Tornados)

• Special mechanic: Levels 61 through 65 cannot be gained by killing normal monsters or completing the route quests. That special EXP only comes from the open world bosses, the bosses of Orfeo’s contracts and the daily contracts of Nix (see Daily contracts).
• The three tornados:
  • Celestial Tornado
  • Elusive Tornado
  • Sky Tornado
• Spawn: Each tornado respawns approximately 4 hours after being defeated, on a random castle map (maps 8-13, 29-31, 69). With all three tornados on staggered timers, one typically appears roughly every hour, though timing can vary.
• Notification: When a tornado appears, all players receive a chat alert indicating which tornado has spawned and on which map.
• Bonuses: Levels 61-65 do not grant health or mana; instead, they grant magic/physical damage and resistance/armor.
• Loot: In addition to experience, they can drop chests (rare or epic) and the special level 60 items (robes, jackets, and armors).

Daily contracts (level 60)

In the well garden of Nix, southeast of the city, four characters offer a contract every day to the level 60 champions. Each one has five contracts and offers one a day. The four contracts of the day are the same for the whole server: the idea is that champions meet in the same zones and fight over the same objectives.

	Character	Contracts
	Rurik, legend hunter	Tornadoes, Eternatus, ancient dragons, the Lord of the Abyss and the Herald of Chaos
	Orfeo the summoner	Five new bosses you summon
	Gerion, warlord	Fights, the relic, the altar, the sentinels and the cursed chest
	Mirta the quartermaster	Supplies from the high-level zones

• When they change: every day at 05:00 UTC (6:00 in Spain in winter and 7:00 in summer; 2:00 in Argentina). The contract window shows how long is left. If you do not finish it in time, it is lost, and the items you carried for it vanish. A contract never repeats two days in a row.
• Reward: a random chest, rare (70%) or epic (30%), a small chance of an artifact on top, and special EXP like the tornadoes, which raises levels 61 to 65. At level 65 it gives heroism: the normal EXP of the contract and half of the special one.
• Contract items: monsters only drop them if you, or someone of your group in the map, still needs that contract. Only level 60 champions can pick them up, they are lost on death, they cannot be stored in the bank or sold on the market, and they vanish when the contracts change.
• Announcements: summons, relics, altars and who carries the cursed chest are announced to the whole server with the map: “Forest (29)”. Relics, the cursed chest and the altar are also marked on the minimap and on the world map (and so is whoever carries them), and when you enter the game you are told where they are.

Rurik, legend hunter

• The Eye of the Storm: bring down a tornado. That day they appear every 2 and a half hours instead of every 4.
• The Awakening of Eternatus: a scale of Eternatus, in his cave under the Pole. That day he awakens every 2 hours.
• Ancient Dragons: two fangs of the ancient dragon and two bones of the zombie dragon, in the dragon caves. There is only one of each and they are reborn as soon as they fall. Each dragon drops one remain, not one for every member of the group.
• The Claw of the Abyss: a claw of the Lord of the Abyss, summoned with the Frost Spear in the heart of the Infernal Forest (map 55).
• The Herald’s Mask: a shard of the mask of the Herald of Chaos, summoned with the Seal of Veril (map 74).

A tornado scale and Eternatus’s scale drop once for each member of the group that lands the last blow and still has the contract. The claw of the Lord of the Abyss and the shard of the Herald’s mask drop once. You do not need the spear or the seal: you can answer the warning and take someone else’s boss.

Orfeo the summoner

Five new level 60 bosses. Their summoning item sometimes drops from the monsters of their zone, only while you still need the contract, and it stops dropping once you already carry three. When it is used in its map, the boss appears and the whole realm is warned. Its trophy drops once for each member of the group that brings it down. When it falls, that map will not take another summon of it for 8 minutes. From level 60, each boss’s special EXP is paid once per champion and per day: if that same boss falls again, it gives no EXP. They can also drop a rare chest (15%).

Boss	Summoned with	Dropped by	Where to summon
Abyssal Colossus	Abyssal Horn	Ice Giants of Atlantis	Atlantis (106)
Mother of the Forest	Corrupted Seed	Arboreums and Ents of the Mystic Forest	Southern Mystic Forest (62)
Void Dragon	Void Egg	Dragons of the caves (108-111)	The great cavern (109)
Pharaoh of the Sands	Pharaoh’s Hourglass	Uruks and Sand Demons of the desert	Desert between the East Castle and Rinkel (15)
Fallen Angel	Black Feather	Angels of the Pole and the Mystic Forest	Pole, at the gates of the city (45)

They have between 62,000 and 70,000 health, 260 armor and resistance, and a hit between 481 and 520. They keep casting in melee, walk around obstacles, and one cast in three goes to another champion they can see. Below 40% health, the time between hits and spells drops by 40%.

Gerion, warlord

• Champions’ Blood: defeat 3 different level 60 champions outside the cities and the tournament arenas. Each one gives you an insignia. Group or clan mates, characters of your own account and the same victim twice do not count. Insignias drop on death.
• The Dawn Relic: every 20 minutes a relic appears in the castle forests (up to 3 at once). It must be carried on foot to Nix, because it cannot go through portals, runes or amulets. Whoever picks it up is announced and marked on the map, and while they carry it they can be attacked, safe maps included, until they deliver it. Inside a city, they cannot. If someone hides with it in another city (even dropping it on the floor or passing it to someone else) or no longer needs it, it goes back to the forests after 2 minutes. It cannot be traded.
• The War Altar: an altar with a circle of runes rises in the castle forests.
  • If your group, or you alone, stays alone in the circle for 3 minutes, you conquer it. Every champion of the group still inside the circle gets an emblem.
  • If another group comes in, the altar stops. If only the other group is left, it starts from zero for them.
  • If nobody conquers it in 15 minutes, it fades. The next one comes 30 minutes later.
• The Castle Sentinels: a level 60 sentinel guards the gate of each castle and keeps its seal: North, South, East and West. You need all four. Each seal drops once. They have 30,000 health. A fallen sentinel takes 3 minutes to come back.
• The Cursed Chest: a chest appears in the castle forests.
  • It opens once someone who has the contract carries it for 6 minutes through red maps (neither green nor yellow). Meanwhile, every 45 seconds the whole server hears who carries it and where. The next one comes 30 minutes after it is opened.
  • It always drops on death, even in a yellow map or with the Lindos Rune (like the relic), and cannot go through portals.
  • If it stays in a green or yellow map (carried or on the floor) or its carrier cannot open it, it escapes to another forest after 90 seconds. It cannot be traded.

Mirta the quartermaster

• Infernal Cinders: 18 cinders from the Infernal Demons of the Infernal Forest (53-56).
• Chaos Steel: 18 shards from the Chaos Warriors of Veril (71-74).
• Eternal Ice: 15 pieces of ice from the Ice Giants, which abound in Atlantis.
• Elite Hunter: 5 marks from elite creatures of level 45 or more, from any zone.
• Dragon Scales: 15 scales from the dragons of the caves (108-111).

Group Tip

When playing in a group, EXP is shared among members on the same map. The share percentage can be configured in the group interface. Group play may be less efficient for solo leveling, but it is ideal for farming very difficult monster zones and for facing the Herald of Chaos and the Lord of the Abyss.
