Editing The Grinder's Guide...to Grinding! (section)

==Levels 1-10: Grinding Guide==
First off, welcome to Perfect World International! Good to have you with us.

As you know, there are now four (4) starting cities, and four (4) newbie areas:

FOR THE HUMANS: Inn of the Eagle and Etherblade

FOR THE UNTAMED: The Northern Pass and City of the Lost

FOR THE WINGED ELVES: Battlemark Village and City of the Plume

FOR THE TIDEBORN: Dragonfang Village and City of Raging Tides

These four areas are your best friends right now. You will spend a large majority of your first few levels in, at, or around these general areas. It's actually a good idea to STAY in those areas for now, until you reach double digits. (Being 10.) 

No matter what, even if you're an eager McBeaver and I know you are... stay where you first spawn, and start grinding. Get used to the battle system. Stay near your beginning areas. I suggest smacking around monsters until you're at LEAST level 4, maybe even 5 if you feel like it. This makes leveling easier, and some of the quests you'll be given a lot easier depending on which race/class you are, since you have a tiny level boost above the monsters you'll probably have to kill.

In addition to killing monsters, you should also gather any items that they drop on death. Even things like arrows (which, if you're not using a bow, is pretty useless,) count for a little something on the NPC market. Lime Stone and other items like Rough Pelts, or things like that, are also common drops that can easily stack some coin in your inventory in the first ten levels. This amount of moolah is also useful if you're feeling like leveling up every single one of your abilities. In the times to come, cash can get a little scarce, especially if you like to spend money in NPC shops.
