  • Continue following the main story quest — it's always the fastest XP source
  • Pick up all regional quests along the way
  • Join a guild for the +10% XP buff
  • Start using XP potions from achievements
    • Don't stop to grind mobs — quest XP is 3-5x faster

    Level 40 Faction Choice Impact on Leveling

    FactionLeveling SpeedKey Advantage
    Bellato★★★★☆MAU makes solo content easy
    Cora★★★★☆Animus provides excellent sustain
    Accretia★★★☆☆Launcher excels at range but less solo-friendly

    After choosing your faction at Level 40:

  • Run faction-specific quests for bonus XP
  • Start participating in Chip War for Honor rewards
  • Complete daily dungeon runs for gear + XP
  • Join Mining War sessions for gold

    • Phase 4: Levels 60+ (Endgame)

    Leveling slows significantly at 60+. Focus on:

  • Abyss Dungeons — best XP/hour at max level
  • World Boss participation — bonus XP on kill
  • Weekly guild expeditions — large XP chunks
  • Event quests — often give 2x-3x normal XP

    • Fastest Leveling Route Summary

    1. Lv1-10: Main story only (~30 min)

    2. Lv10-30: Story + side quests + guild buff (~2-3 hr)

    3. Lv30-40: Story + dungeons + prep for faction (~3-4 hr)

    4. Lv40-60: Faction quests + dungeons + Chip War (~8-12 hr)

    5. Lv60+: Abyss + World Boss + Events (ongoing)

    Critical Tip: Never grind field mobs for XP. Quest XP is always significantly faster. If you're stuck on a quest, ask in guild chat — someone can usually help.

    FAQ

    Q: How long does it take to reach max level?

    A: Following the optimal route, approximately 15-20 hours of playtime for an experienced player, 25-30 hours for a beginner.

    Q: Should I do side quests while leveling?

    A: Yes — pick up all regional quests while doing main story, but don't go out of your way. Only skip gray (low-level) side quests.

    Q: When should I start doing dungeons?

    A: As soon as they unlock at Level 20. Dungeons provide both XP and essential gear upgrades.

    Q: Is it worth using XP potions?

    A: Save XP potions for Level 40+ when leveling slows down. Using them before 40 is wasteful since early levels are already fast.
