Starting in Training Grounds
Completing the Novice training grounds is a fast way to power level new characters.
- Speak to the NPCs and follow their instructions to get free level ups.
- As soon as you are in the Combat Training Area, kill a Poring for the NPC Brade.
- After that, you can accept quests from some of the Job NPCs (Swordsman Guide, Magician Guide, Merchant Guide, Thief Guide). This is recommended because you will later leave the Training Grounds with
- Chief Baby Poring has a 9% drop chance for its card. It’s useful because you can put it in your Criatura Hat, which you will get after you leave the Combat Area.
- Completing all 4 Guide quests will grant at least base level 20. Talk to Brade for a warp to town.
Arriving in Prontera
After completing the Training Grounds you are warped to the Utility Room.
This is where you find e.g. the Job Changer, a blue genie.
Talk to him to change your job.
When you step outside, you’re in Prontera. These are the most important NPCs:
Getting Equipment
There is an easy way to get really good starter equipment, which is much better than buying weapons or armor from NPCs.
- Use the Warper to get to the Eden Group HQ.
- Speak to Secretary Lime Evenor and sign up to Eden. You will get an “Eden Group Mark” as confirmation.
- Next, talk to Instructor Boya about equipment. Accept the quest she has for you and use the warper to go to the quest area.
- Check iRO Wiki's Eden Equipment Quest to learn more about the equipment pieces and where to pick them up.
- It is advisable to be at least level 20 before starting Equipment quests to get the Culverts quest, which you can fast access through the Sylph Cartographer.
Leveling up fast with Quests
To level up quickly, take quests from two places at the same time: the Mission Board and Eden Group. Quests are offered for all ranges from level 11 to 175.
Find the Mission Board left of the Prontera main square:
Find the Eden Quest Boards at the Eden Group HQ. You can find quests below level 85 on the first floor ...
...and up the staircase, you will find those for level 85 to 175. If you walk straight up on the second floor, you will find even more NPCs that will give you item hunting tasks.
Good to know: Rebirth
After playing only a few hours, you will hit base level 99.
When you’re ready to advance your job, make sure to select Rebirth at the Job Changer. The genie will then turn you into a High Novice. This step is important so you don’t lose any skill points and powerhouse class skills when you finally change into your third job.
This does not apply to extended jobs such as Gunslinger or Ninja.
