151–175 Progression
What to do the moment the starting chain drops you at 151 — gear up, clear Astral to 160, open RoA, then level to 175.
Finishing the starting-zone quests leaves you at level 151 with a pile of rewards. That is enough to start properly — this is what to do with it, and where to go next. If you are not there yet, start with How to reach 1–150.
Before you leave town
Four things, in this order. None of them take long, and skipping them makes the next twenty levels harder than they need to be.
- Equip the Eternal set and the World Cup rings.
- Socket the stones you were given into the Eternal set.
- Make a Rank 2 helmet and take it to +20.
- Stack every buff you can get your hands on, then head out.
151–160 — Astral
Astral is your first dungeon. Every class can solo it — but some are far stronger early than others, so check the tier list to know what you are working with.
What you are farming there:
- Parallel World gear
- Cubric items
- Labyrinth accessories
Awakening Stone: Accessories
160 — open up RoA
At 160, run the RoA questline. It is what gets you into the dungeon, and its last step is worth a Talent Point.
Do not wait for it to take the Jewel quest. The Jewel quest from Mayor Ailrena in Rondo is a second Talent Point and needs nothing beforehand — a Master Class can take it the moment it hits 160. See Talent Point Quest 160, or every source of Talent Points.
The two quests at the entrance
There is an NPC in front of the RoA entrance with two quests. Take both — they are worth several levels on their own.
[Daily] Purge of the Ancient Ruins [Daily] Purge of the Ancient Ruins (2)
They are dailies, so they come back every day. They also need the RoA line underway: both sit behind Defense Force Token, so you cannot simply walk up at 160 and take them.
160–175 — where to level
Normal RoA is your best levelling dungeon all the way to 175. Run it, run the dailies while they are up, and you will not need anything else.
While you level
- Tame some belt pets. Which one depends on your class — the class guides say what you want.
- Spend your arena points on consumables. It is power you already earned.
- Farm wooden boxes from the farm zones — see Wooden & Relic Boxes.
- Unity and potions matter too. Do not run without them.
After 175
A separate guide picks up from 175. Until then, everything above still applies.
