To speed up leveling from 1 to 9, focus on defeating regular mobs. With the weapons received initially, mowing down mobs in one or two hits is far quicker compared to finishing quests. Proceed straight from the starting area to Aldelle Village for Asmodians, while eliminating mobs along the way. Afterward, use the fly transporter to head over to Anturoon Crossing and continue slaying mobs until you hit level 9. Target the Ishalgen Prison Camp, where mobs are level 8 and 9.
Complete the final campaign quest.
There are several approaches to take from this point.
If you have a level 65 buddy, ask them to mentor you around the Pagati side of Tiamaranta (Balaur Calvary Base). You'll rise to level 40 within a few hours. With a 200% XP boost, reaching level 45 can take only 2 to 3 hours, relying on how fast your friend dispatches mobs. Upon reaching level 45, tackle Theobomos campaign quest and the greater stigma opening quest to climb to levels 46 or even 47. Then, delve into Adma Fortress, where gaining levels 50 or 51 is a breeze. Continue to Udas Temple or Lower Udas Temple, advancing to level 52 and nearly reaching 53. Finish greater stigma quests to hit level 53. Next, head over to Beshmundir Temple. Request your friend's help to defeat the first boss and cleanse the entire instance. With a 200% XP boost, each mob can yield 5 to 7 million XP. Easily, in just a couple of runs, you can reach levels 60 or 62 if your friend defeats key bosses like Vehalla and the horse. What's more, you can push on to the last rooms, which harbor around 100 additional mobs, although this will take over an hour. To cap at level 65, complete camps in Katalam and Danaria, and finish all their quests. If you're still not 65, head to Gelkmaros and undertake the Mithril Coin quest from the Main City to elevate your level; each quest turn-in awards 4 million XP. Mithril coins can also be sold at the broker.
