	This is the point in time where the game becomes much easier. Sure, yeah, you still have these huge quests you have to do. They're usually really hard. But hey, now you can do all the things you really wanted to do at level 20, like PK a bunch of people beneath your level, kick some behind in Territory Wars, and generally solo a majority of the Bounty Hunters. (BH) The drops on these monsters are really great, and they should allow you to get almost anything you need for your journeys. This is why at this point, many players quit the game at this time. Oh well. I guess they're just missing out!		This is the point in time where the game becomes much easier. Sure, yeah, you still have these huge quests you have to do. They're usually really hard.

As stated before, you should keep near the areas where your quests take you. Usually, there is a small town or city which you will have to report your findings to. (IE: For the Winged Elves, there's the Southern Stronghold which you have to visit.) Keep near that area as much as you can for easy trips back and forth. If you have to travel further away from that area for another quest, try and find another town/city that is closer to your location for quick inventory dumps.

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.

Grinding is a simple (although very long and often very boring) process which includes staying in a specific area and killing monsters. It can help you to level, as well as get you used to fighting NPC monsters and learning how to use the skills your character has in their repertoire. Depending on which areas you explore, you can find yourself with an inventory filled with expensive items which you can sell either in catshops, or in NPC (non-player characters, like the Blacksmith or Tailor) areas. If you choose a tailor path, you will find that you will have to grind often (unless you magically obtain heaps of money through another process and buy it from another player) to obtain the items you will need to make even low level items.

	'''BE PARANOID OF PLAYERS:''' This only applies to you if you're level thirty (30) or higher. PvPing occurs most often when people are out grinding, and they think people are just going to be nice to them and let them run around stealing mobs. Think again! Not everybody is that nice. Keep yourself aware, and you might just be able to get away from some close calls!		'''BE PARANOID OF PLAYERS:''' This only applies to you if you're level thirty (30) or higher.

	'''MULTI-TASK''': If you have a quest, and there happen to be some other mobs that give away EXP or ~~SOUL~~ around there, don't be stingy! Beating up other types of monsters won't count away from your quest, in fact it might just help move that pretty purple bar faster!

	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.)		These four areas are your best friends right now.

	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.
