###Updated 10/25/2016
Removed Dina Bee Grind as a grind option from the guide; thanks Obama Necromancers.
Added Arcus Forest quests to the 280-330 leveling process.
Added location and nearest statue tags to the Grind Zone section.
Minor grammar corrections.
hi xanthiris keep in mind that lvl penalties are now changed, i grinded alemeth at lvl 202 with my swordy and didnt get any exp penalty, you can now grind those maps up to 20 lvls before AND after
grinding alemeth at lvl 202 is highly recommended, i got from 202 to 205 in an hour
i think most people would find it easier to grind alemeth until lvl 236 and THEN go to evac
Youâre right and this is somewhat elaborated on in my âGrind Zones; Explainedâ section, in case you didnât read it, but regardless of the changes I believe starting Alemeth at around 205-210 is still preferred, and you still only need to stay for 5-10 levels.
Like, youâre not wrong, but I donât think grinding there sooner or longer is necessarily or technically more efficient. Evac is still more than Alemeth, Storage more than Evac, Maven more than Storage, and ultimately questing is practically the best available exp/h. So⌠The old method is still the current method in my opinion.
yea i guess youâre right 
Question, is mandatory to have a Token while following this guide or can I compensate the exp loss from not having one by doing the skipped maps and more dungeon/mission runs? This question is more related to pre lvl 200 because I plan to skip the DP2/Bee farm grind and I feel the only (or mostly) loss in EXP would be from dungeons and missions.
This guide easily works with or without token, though some compensation may be necessary.
That being said, you really should invest in one as soon as you can. Theyâre super worth it.
Oh I know they are worth, I even have one to activate, the problem is that Iâm playing with a friend who canât afford one and if I use mine Iâm kinda worried of overleveling her too much until she can buy her own.
Oh, and thanks for the response.
So since I got quite the following now (thanks by the way ;))âŚ
My ORIGINAL post I ever made was a Fix-It list a long while back. It needs more views and feedback: Xan's "Fix-It" List
Help me slap some sense into these devs <3
Thank you for the awesome guide Xanthiris.
I have a question: today I was grinding in Alemeth Forest and some annoying magic circle kept apearing on the map pulling and stunning me and my party members. Is there a way to make them disappear?
Itâs a gimmick event, they disappear in time, unfortunately you just have to deal with them.
I used to cast Summon Familiar (LV10, Sorc skill) to let it absorb and it disappeared instantly. I guess it disappear when it absorb X number of creatures.
Sadly, I normally donât have a lot of summoneable creatures with me so I guess Iâll just have to endure it.
Thank you guys for the replies.
Hi Xan, thanks for this leveling guide!
I have a question though. Is there any particular reason why we skip most of the side quests in general? Are they a waste of time? I notice that you mentioned âcasually grind if youâre rangeâ; isnât side-questing essentially the same idea?
I played iCBT but have just started fresh on ToS INA, currently working on a side character who Iâd like to rush if possible. xD
From card levels 1 through 5 the exp/h simply isnât worth your time and there are more quests than needed. If you rush through the first 100 levels as quickly as possible, skipping what you can when you can, so you get to the better cards quicker.
I have another question. Is there a reason why you skip the lvl175 DG?
I am currently lvl 167, at Glade Hillroad and have cards that will bring me to lvl 182. I was wondering if doing the lvl175 DG is worth it or recommended.
Also, I assume whenever you say âby now you should be lvlâŚâ youâve used your cards to that level?
Thank you.
Lol just use em all and quest laukwyme swamp until ruklyâs street/ downtown or keep questing. Youâll have more than enough to get you 190 to do the 190 dungeon
145 gives more exp in 170-186 range than 175 dungeon.
Iâve been away from the game for a few weeks now, telling myself Iâd come back, and I fully intended to, but every time I log in I lose all motivation and interest almost immediately so⌠This guide is still quite accurate I believe but will no longer be updated. Best of luck to you all.
