Leveling Guide

## Introduction

Levelling in AQ is tedious; this guide hopes to make it as pain-free as possible from character creation to 150.

### Assumptions

This guide assumes the following:

* Levelling is done with INT/END as the main stats.
* No access to rares/seasonals/GGB items (IE only uses always-available gold gear)
* Character is Guardian (and by extension has access to the Item Upgrader).
* No access to Shared Vault.
* Character has a House.
* Minimal non-farming is done (IE this guide assumes all that will be done is farming to 150 with as little extra work required as possible)

Adventurers can still follow this guide, but will be noticeably slower due to the limitations of Free-to-Play.

## Stat Distribution

After maxing out both INT and END, no other stat investment is required.

## **Potion Gathering: Burning Solstice: The Answer**

Location: Yulgars Inn -> Go to lounge -> Sage Uldor -> Burning Solstice -> The Answer -> Fight as War!

Leveling is made much easier with potions. As of writing, the potions provided when fighting as War can be kept by closing the client mid-quest.

## **Level 1-15: War Between Shadows: Shadowfall 2/Mage Training**

Location (Shadowfall 2): Warlic's Shop > Quests > War Between Shadows > Shadowfall 2 -> 25%

Location (Mage training): Warlic's Shop -> Class Quests -> Mage Quest!

### Essential Items

* Loremaster's Tome (Travel Map -> Sail East -> Sail Southeast -> Falerin's Memorial -> Loremaster Tome)
* Ray of Light (Warlic's Shop > Beginner Magic)
* Galanoth Guest (acquired via Guest List in the quest)

### Strategy

1. Cast Ray of Light over and over until 15.
	* Every 5 levels, back out of the quest and put all stat points into INT.

## **Level 15-30+: Sizzler**

Location: Mage Shop -> Mastercraft Sets -> Geocastellum Set -> Intro Quest

### Strategy

**If this is the first time doing this quest on the character, or you do not have a Shared Vault, complete this quest by rescuing Barry and grab Sizzlers' 'Splosion. This will be required later in the guide.**

Go forward with the quest until you meet a Sizzler, and use your Mage Robes' Skill Elemental Sphere (choose Wind) to kill it.

* If you wish to be efficient, avoid as many non-Sizzler fights as possible. As you level up, all non-Sizzler mobs become harder to kill.
* With good RNG this is technically the fastest way to level before 35, as Sizzlers upgrade at 35 with lowered XP rewards. This guide has a conservative estimate and will assume the player switches at 30.

Before progressing further in the guide, Mage must be fully trained.

## **Level 30-40: Guard Sheep**

Location: Your House -> Visit Neighbor -> 87915605 -> Specific Neighbor

### Essential Items

* Loremaster's Tome (Travel Map -> Sail East -> Sail Southeast -> Falerin's Memorial -> Loremaster Tome)
* Lumenomancer's Robes (You will need to train Mage Class to level 10 first before progressing to Wizard Class training)

### Strategy

Cast The Good (Light option) until defeated.

## **Level 40-55: WereDragon**

Location: Your House -> Visit Neighbor -> 5474438 -> Specific Neighbor

### Essential Items

* Destruction Burst
* Pyromancer's Robes
* Goggernaut Helm (level does not matter)

### Strategy

Equip Goggernaut and cast Destruction Burst, using potions as needed.

By 55, Wizard should be trained to level 5.

## **Level 55-150: Shadow Roc**

Location (103): Your House -> Visit Neighbor -> 1330392 -> Specific Neighbor

Location (148): Your House -> Visit Neighbor -> 35950899 -> Specific Neighbor

### Essential Items

* Geomancer's Robes
* Sizzlers' 'Splosion
* Earth Magestaff
* Luminous Shield (technically optional, but recommended for consistency)

### Strategy

Cast Sizzlers' Splosion using Imbue With Lore, using potions as needed.

* Wizard doesn't need to be trained to level 10, but helps with consistency. (30% more damage than level 5 wizard)
* 103 Roc will be farmed until 75.
* 95 Sizzlers will no longer require Imbue with Lore to kill.
* 115 Sizzlers can use Imbue with Lore to reduce the number of casts needed.
