Do main quests in Prontera South Gate until you job change.
After your first job change, you can continue doing quests as they give lots of EXP or grind on Rockers, Willows and Wormtails. Wormtails have an insane EXP per HP ratio and will give you a really great boost in your leveling.
You’ll unlock the Message Board Quests at Level 15. You’ll want to prioritize these Board quests first over the red Main Quests!
At levels 20-30, Wormtails are still your best EXP boosters. Their EXP per HP ratio is just too good to pass even with the level gap penalties.
Continue doing main quests after consuming your Stamina. At Level 22, you’ll unlock the Monster Resistance Quests which is another great source of bulk EXP—they give you a 10x exp rate for a limited amount of exp. Make sure to finish the two Monster Resistance quests everyday.

Steam Goblins are a great source of zeny and Coal, a common material you can sell on the market or use for your upgrades. Jobs with AoE skills like Wizards, Trapper Hunters and Blacksmiths are effective in killing the Steam Goblins easily.
At Level 30, you can catching Pets and sending them to Pet Adventure, where you can get valuable loots and gears. Check out our full guide to Pet Adventure here.

Level 40–50
You can still farm at Steam Goblins at Levels 40-50. Menblatt and Hornets in Mjolnir are great alternatives—a Menblatt Card drop would be nice to have if you’re feeling lucky. For physical attackers, Ants and Giearths in Ant Hell are great as well.
At Level 40, consider joining a Guild and acquire the Aesir Monument. Collect Guild Contributions and Gold Medals by doing Guild-related activities and plan out your Rune path.
At Level 45, you may start sending Pets to Pet Labor, where you can get free Base EXP and Job EXP potions. These potions will help you level up real fast without doing any grinding!

Level 50–60
At Levels 50-60, grind at Dustiness, Metaller and Mantis in North Prontera for very high EXP returns at very low HPs. You’ll be able to farm very efficiently in this map—you can even stay here until around Level 85!
A lot of people will be farming in this area, so just look for a decent spot—these mobs will usually spawn in groups of 3 in certain spots. Switching to a less populated channel might also help.
Dustiness (Lv 62) | 12,479 HP 0.066 Base EXP / HP 0.042 Job EXP / HP | Wind Insect Small | North Prontera |
Metaller (Lv 55) | 8,314 HP 0.089 Base EXP / HP 0.056 Job EXP / HP | Fire Insect Medium | North Prontera |
Mantis (Lv 65) | 26,232 HP 0.033 Base EXP / HP 0.021 Job EXP / HP | Earth Insect Medium | North Prontera |
Level 60-70
At this range, North Prontera is still a very efficient farming spot. You can start whacking Eggyras in Payon Cave too as they give good Job EXP. Wizards should start aiming for 1-shot Eggyra kills.
Physical attacker classes like Lord Knights can go for Minorous in the Pyramids. The Minorous Card is a very valuable item used by MVP hunters. At the time of writing, it costs almost 10 million zeny in the Exchange.
Dustiness, Metaller, Mantis | (Refer to previous table) | North Prontera | |
Minorous (Lv 64) | 27,181 HP 0.019 Base EXP / HP 0.008 Job EXP / HP | Fire Brute Large | Pyramids 2F–3F |
Eggyra (Lv 61) | 11,216 HP 0.028 Base EXP / HP 0028 Job EXP / HP | Ghost Formless Medium | Payon Cave 1F |
Level 70–80+
Level 70-80 range is where leveling will slow down a bit. But don’t worry, you have lots of options.
Dustiness/Metaller still give decent EXP despite the level gap EXP penalty. Other options would be mobs in Glast Heim Culvert and Glast Heim Outskirts.
Since leveling is a bit slow in this ranges anyway, try to pair your EXP farming with zeny/loots farming. Remember, instant kills = more monster kills = faster zeny and loots. Always aim for instant or 2-hit kills over high EXP but slow kills.

Level 80–90+
