Caster Training Area Guide
Talk15this wiki
(This is outdated. Construstion of a more up-to-date guide is done here: New Training Stuff.)
This guide is intended to help level up a caster class, however it also works well for most other Classes. The efficiency of levelling up is in general measured in experience gained per attacks needed. Due to the current healing and AoE mechanics, arena dungeons make relatively bad training spots and shamans, as the only effective AoE damage casters, level up much faster than other classes from lvl17 on.
A general strategy to level up a new class on the same account is to go into a rather hard battle, leave the weakest monster with as little hitpoints as possible alive, leave, switch class, reenter the battle and finish it. The full battle experience will go to the character who dealt the last blow. A popular spot for this method is the second Bellroot lighthouse's Barrier Golem battle.

200+ Damage - "Meet the Ponies": 2 Fights
Edit
Location: Bleakwoods F2.
You need to complete a chain of quests to be able to get into the Bleakwoods. From the entrance of Bleakwoods, you move 3 screens West and then, 2 screens North, Bleakwoods F2 on the map. To access Bleakwoods from Coldwoods, simply go north from the Coldwoods entrance.
Notes
Edit
At level 31and 38, your damage will get boosted by a significant amount, allowing you to hit more damage. This damage spike will be helpful in determining when you can hunt here. The Spiders can critically hit you for about 400 damage, so be careful here. If your self-healing heals less than 600 HPs, forget healing in battle altogether. Assuming that you take every mob down with 2 consecutive attacks / spells, and with the average character speed in mind, the mobs will take about 10-12 shots at you. Thornhoofs make 5-6 attacks for 100-120 (crit <250) damage; Spiders make another 5-6 attacks for 200-220 (crit <450) damage. That makes from 1k to 2k damage, worst case (over 6 crits) amounts to about 2.7k damage. This can kill level 40+ characters on occasion. You might sometimes encounter level 50+ characters (400+ single hit damage) and level 57+ shamans here. Those shamans win both fights casting "Nature's Judgement 2" (about 670 damage per enemy) once. Just change server. A level 36 clairvoyant can handle these battles( Actually, depending on the weapon, it's sooner, wiseguy.), even though her damage will only be about 150( depends on weapon) per turn. Get the Thornhoofs first (9 attacks),(depends ) heal up before killing the last one. Then use Pyrokinesis III twice to take out the first spider fast. Depending on the turns spent healing, both experience and
gain speed are above or below those at Claykids' dungeon.
Shaman Specific Information
Edit
If you are fortunate enough to get help acquiring the Kolenyas War Staff as a Shaman this is possible at level 31 (maybe sooner, 26 when you get Medicine Song II?).
My stats at 31 were as follows: HP: 1828 SP: 260 ATT: 9 MAG: 23 + 30 SKL: 34 + 5 SPD: 18 + 13 LCK: 13 DEF: 7 + 5 RES: 30 + 5
Medicine Song II should be healing for 7xx which is more than enough to keep you alive even though you'll only be hitting 13x with the staff (3-4 hits per target). Using Nature's Judgement on the spiders seems to be a good strategy as it will get each target down to 3 hits each.
Note: These are all simply observed hits, ranges make extend beyond those shown Shadow Spider Hits (using Kolenyas War Staff) 15 RES Level 31: 13x Level 36: 158 - 162 Level 37: 160 - 167 Level 38: 219 - 230 Level 39: 222 - 236 Level 40: 229 - 242 Level 41: 237 - 252 Level 42: 243 - 259 Level 43: 252 - 264 Shadow Thornhoof Hits (using Kolenyas War Staff) 6 RES Level 31: Not recorded Level 36: 166 - 173 Level 37: 172 - 182 Level 38: 234 - 243 Level 39: 240 - 259 Level 40: 245 - 261 Level 41: 255 - 271 Level 42: 260 - 277 Level 43: 272 - 287

Take out the weakest mob first to make life easier. This battle offers slightly faster levelling than the "Ponies" and is a little less dangerous in exchange for less

350+ Damage - "Haggarth the Swordsmith": 3 Fights
Edit
Location: Bleakwoods D3.
- Note: Your character will need a strong healing ability.
- Note: This is not recommended for casters, as the monsters here have high RES.
After your damage beats 350, you can take down the Grimalkins, Bleaklights, and Horned with 1 attack. In the right portal, there are three 1300hp Hungerers. A good strategy is to hit these first. If you suffer too much damage, escape and go to another where you will sustain less damage. Use this area to heal. Kill the monsters and return to the Hungerers.
I did this with level 46 Harvest Soldier.
Hint: In terms of exp/time, it is better if you only clear the left and top portal (ignore the one with the Hungerers inside it). It is also advisable that you eliminate the Grimalkins first as they hit higher than the Horned and Bleaklights. What about HP and SP recharge? you should level up before you even need it :)

400+ Damage - "Ponies" revisited: 2 Fights

*Note you can do this once you can hit 200 damage +*
After your damage beats 400, you can take down the Thornhoofs and Spiders with 1 attack, and with the average character speed in mind, the mobs will take about 5-6 shots at you. With the average HPs of lvl 50-something character in mind, this dungeon becomes a fast and boring affair.

650+ Damage "Meet the Hungerers" : 2 Fights
Edit
Location: Bleakwoods.
You can start training in this infamous spot (many say that this place gives way more exp than it should as it can be used from pretty much Lvl 50 - 110) after your damage beats 650 (although you can still do it with 400+ damage, it'll just take longer. Basically, you need at least a Sirius Battle Axe to do this one), you can take down Bloodhoofs (75 exp) with 1 attack and Hungerers (275 exp) with 2. While the Hungerers will deal about 1.5-2k damage altogether, this can be endured or healed at levels 50+. The dungeon is at Bleakwoods D4, "Tsula's Path" quest location. As all attacks come in melee here, melee classes are at advantage. Mage classes might experiment around with the Cardinal Staff. The dungeon is more challenging than the infamous "Ponies", but offers faster levelling. Make sure you can almost if not always do 650 damage to 28 defence.

Shaman Specific Notes
Edit
At level 57 you gain Nature's Judgement II, a 670+ damage group attack spell. Together with Nature's Judgement I you can clear out Litonya's dungeon (580+375 exp, 121+105 ) at D2 with 3 combat turns, gaining experience faster than in the Ponies dungeon at F2. Once you can do over 720 group damage, this dungeon can be cleared in 2 turns. With good equips (which give bonuses to skill and luck, such as the Sapphire Flatbow, or Emerald Body Armour and Strange Warhammer) this is possible immediately at level 57.
Once you do over 720 group damage (around lvl 75 with Sun Staff), Flo's dungeon (Bleakwoods A3) is a option, 2 battles 3 combat turns each 880+737exp 161+169
each dungeon run. When your maxSP is over 570 (at lvl 78) you can do the dungeon in 5 combat turns.
Tsulas Dungeon (825+425 exp. 120+82) can be made in 4 combat turns when your maxSP is over 570 and could be used for variation.

- Carnoraptor: No, go kill Mummas in duos.
level 97 - if u hit 4.5k or 5k on scorps go to scorps in death dunes
STRATEGY for Arctic Soldiers:
- Because the AS is a class with superior HPs, ATTs, and DEFs, the AS can go solo earlier than any other class in Flo's Dungeon. Early in the game reach a level where the AS can withstand the Hungerer's attacks. Take them out first, then Bloodhoof, Iron Wolf, and Toxic Hungerers in that order. You can utilize Polar Nightmare in tight situations early on and replenish it by going on the second portal. The AS can go to the 1st portal exhaustively until HPs are almost decreased at no lower than 2000 HP.

Notes
Edit
1. NB Due to the amount of damage the mushrooms can deal, alot of people recommend staying at tsulas until you can hit 5k. 2. A heal is also recommended due to the amount of damage the mushrooms deal, and you will not be completing the dungeon for maximum experience gain.
3. You'll take far less damage when you do the 3 mushrooms battle in addition to the 4 mushroom battle in F2. Due to time spent outside the battle, doing both battles actually gives me more exp per hour than doing just the 4 mushroom battle (153k vs 144k exp). For the same reason the 4 Octos Battle in D2 gives me only 144k exp/h, clearing out C2 gives 132k exp/h, doing just the 3 Octos at the entrance of C3 gives 138k exp/h, clearing out D1(right) gives 140k exp/h, and clearing out F4 gives less than 150k exp/h.
So until I do 7000+ damage I'll stick with the 4+3 mushrooms in F2. (If you are a shaman, don't need silver and can cast Nature's Judgement II four times, Flo's cave at Bleakwoods: A3 gives about 153k exp/h too).
Any death dunes battle, even snakes, gives SOO much more EXP
