Account Security

Before starting your adventure, securing your account is essential. Activate OTP authentication and register your devices to protect your account. This not only ensures safety but also provides an in-game buff, giving you a small advantage from the outset.

Questing and Leveling

Following the main story quests, marked in yellow, is the fastest route to level up. These quests provide the most experience points (XP) and are key to progressing efficiently. Optional side quests, shown in blue, reward Valor Stones, which are vital for acquiring skill books and other upgrades later in the game.

Daily quests, indicated by red, provide consistent rewards and should be completed regularly once available.

Tips for Efficient Questing

Use the quest teleport feature to reach NPCs instantly, reducing travel time. If an area becomes crowded, switch channels using the top-right mini-map option. When multiple players compete for the same objective, consider forming a party to share kills and loot efficiently.

Field Bosses and Leveling Weapons

Field bosses drop Soul Shields and temporary leveling weapons. To find active boss fights more easily, switch channels as needed. The Wheel of Fate can help secure a complete Soul Shield set and leveling weapons, which streamline progression. Avoid farming field bosses excessively, as the gear becomes outdated quickly.
