Leveling
The short version
EXP is 38× (base, job, quest, and MVP). You'll move fast, but 275 is a long way — expect to actually play the maps, not one-shot to cap in an afternoon.
A rough path
- 1–50ish — the Training Grounds / Izlude fields, or grind Porings and spores near Prontera. Job-change as soon as you hit the requirement (Job Master in the services plaza).
- 50–99 — Payon Dungeon, Orc Dungeon, Byalan, Clock Tower. Turn on
@autoloot. - Rebirth / 3rd job — do it at 99/70; the Job Master handles all paths.
- 100–175 — renewal turn-ins and the mid dungeons (Nifflheim, Rachel Sanctuary, Scaraba Hole, Dewata).
- 175–275 — the endgame fields (Gtb, Faceworm, Terra Gloria, Old Glast Heim runs, instances) and daily quests.
Boosts
- Double-EXP weekend (Fri–Mon UTC) doubles it again.
- Battle Manual from the Coin Shop or Cash Shop.
- The Daily Hunt quest is EXP plus eXRo Coin.
- Job levels cap at 70 for now — see caps.
