Leveling Guide
To level a character, the green bar at the top of the screen must be filled. Leveling one's character increases their stats, and allows them to have 3 more status points. At the beginning of the game, one will begin with 10 status points. Leveling characters leads to more status points and possible new quests/skills/classes.
Levels 1-30
At this point, you're still exploring the game and are limited to a small number of maps. At Lv20, go talk to Varuna in Fort Bailune and choose whether you'd like to be an apprentice warrior or mage. Before puttitng your status points in random areas, figure out which class you want to be. It's best to put your stats in a good location now, instead of needing to buy a reset book later. It's best to put all of your stat points into one category for now. At Lv30, you can start doing a popular grinding quest, skeletons. Talk to Venia in Rokoko Plains, and then defeat 30 Skeletons. You can easily find a party for this quest. The reward is 4,800 exp.
Levels 1-50 (not for new players)
If this is not your first time on Iruna, it is easiest to have someone else level your character to 50 at Megaroches, High Ents, or Neknotts. Find a way to send your new player a Drafbourg teleport or you can walk to Drafbourg (not recommended) by jumping down the hole in Marel Epicenter to Pango Flatlands. Try to avoid the aggressive monsters if you choose to walk. Before you head off to Drafbourg for leveling, find a Group Chat offering free leveling (they are common) and make sure you will be guaranteed a slot in the party.
Levels 30-50
This is the best time to start your main quest, or you can continue leveling at Skeletons. If you haven't already started your main quest, you'll have to go back to Bailune City to start it. By around Lv40-50, you should start figuring out and researching which class you want to be in, since you'll be able to switch to Mage or Warrior at Level 50. If you've unlocked Dark Wasteland from mq, you can grind at Dark Warriors, which give a lot of exp but take a while to kill.
There's also the quest "Impromptu Arrows" which provides 7,500 EXP and 1,000 Spina. It is located in Capital City Sofya: The Consulate/The Guild. The quest, given by Nepherta requires 30 Broken Staffs. You can get the Broken Staffs from Baums in Rokoko Plains. You can also buy stacks of Broken Staffs for 10-15k.

Levels 50-70
During this time, quests are popular for leveling up, but just grinding monsters is just as common. More reliant classes should focus on teaming up with players to do quests, while more independent classes should grind on their own.
The quest "Army of Darkness" requires you to kill Zolban, Bongea, Hydra and Burnos each one time to receive 64,500 EXP and 2 Sauro Medals. This quest is best grinded in parties. (Lv required is 50).
Some popular monsters for grinding include: Dark Warriors, Porges, Flame Rockers, and Dark Warriors.

Levels 70-120
Now that you're Lv70, you should be saving up spina and collecting gear for your future full class. You should also be looking out for new skills you can get. If you have high damage, you should see which monsters you can easily one-hit kill that give good experience for your time. Levels 70-120 are a popular time for quests in Saterica.
The quests "Awaiting the Goddess" (Lv80+) and "Enemies of the Inje" (Lv100+) are often paired together and completed in parties. If you complete both quests, you'll earn about 400,000 EXP plus the EXP you get from the monsters you are required to kill. Overall, it's about half of a million EXP.
"Awaiting the Goddess"
Kill:
30 Albreros, 30 Ganoschkas, and 30 Leopards
OPTIONAL: 1 False Grecia
Rewards:
Without False Grecia: 280,000 EXP and 2 Regera(S)
With False Grecia: 355 000 EXP and 2 Regera(S)
"Enemies of the Inje"
Kill: 50 Albreros, 10 Leopards, and 20 Ganoschkas
Rewards:
81,000 EXP and 5 Regera(M) OR 3 Vita Plus(M)
There's also a quest recommended for magic classes with high MDEF. I've personally never liked this quest, and leveled mostly by one-hitting Pulmos when I was a wizard. If you choose this quest, make sure you stay by Medusas and avoid other monsters like Evil Swords that are aggressive and may kill you.
"Evil Vibes"
Level Requirement: 70+
Where to obtain: Cleil, Saterica City: President's Office
What to do: Kill 50 Medusas
Rewards: 138,000 EXP
AGI/CRT builds can also take "Mole Fighting" from the Inje Man. After killing 50 Moles, you'll receive 40,000 EXP and a Magic Lamp or a Sapphire.

Levels 120-150
This is a really really repetitive and boring time of leveling. If you haven't done the majority of your leveling from your Main Quest, you should think of doing a few MQs to give you a level boost.
Just like previous levels, find some monsters or bosses you feel comfortable grinding. There's only a couple quests for leveling around Elban at this time.
Snake in the Maze is an effective Lv120+ quest to gain some EXP. You should find a party to help you grind Nagas as fast as possible. Doing the quest solo is a waste of time, since you'll be killing Nagas so slowly.
"Snake in the Maze"
Kill: 99 Naga
Rewards:
410,000 EXP and 2 Revita(L) OR 1 Magic Jar(Cold)
Save the Tough Vines you get from the Nagas for another quest from Kunst in Maze of Enzeits:
"Safety Rope in the Maze"
Collect: Tough Vine x30
Reward: 55,000 and ★ Maze of Enzeits × 1
AGI/CRT builds can also do this quest:
Level 130+
NPC: Ralul, Capital city Elban
Wayward Golems
Collect: Broken Magic Engine × 50, Magic Engine x10
Reward: 450,000 EXP and Binal (L)× 1

Levels 180+
At these levels, most of your EXP is going to come from grinding monsters. The three main ones are: Neknotts, High Ents, and Megaroches.
Megaroches
EXP: 150,000
HP: 527,000
Neknott
EXP: 7,500
HP: Low - Exact Value Unknown
High Ent
EXP: 38,000
HP: Medium - Exact Value Unknown
Megaroches are best fought in parties with a tank, healer, and other party members dealing damage. Mega or megaroche parties often target only 1 Megaroche at a time, or many at a time (often called AoE parties)
Neknotts are best fought by classes that can kill very quickly with little dependency. This spot is a favorite for High Wizards, which can easily kill 3 Neknotts at a time with their skill EQ. One-hitting Neknotts with Earthquake as a High Wizard requires about 2600 MATK. Neknotts also have nice-paying drops, and NPCing the items you get in a full bag can yield usually around 300-400k spina.
High Ents are found in the same location as Neknotts and just as popular. They are very slow, and running from them will almost guarantee that they won't hit you, making them very effective for leveling. They poison, but overall are a great monster for almost all classes to grind.

Lv200+
If you've grinded all the way to Lv200, you're probably familiar with Nommars. Found in Primordial Lands, these incredibly inaccurate monsters yield about 86,000 EXP. AGI/CRT builds, AoE levelers, and healers can easily find a party here. You should save your Dirty Gears, since you can use them for a Lv240+ quest in Pilaneza. Just talk to the Merchant in Pilaneza.
You can either hand over 5 or 10 Dirty Gears
5 - 380,000 EXP
10 - 760,000 EXP
