New Player Basic Game Information
Beginner quest lines are now broken into separate quest lines. Do them in the following "order"
(it is suggested you jump around between some of the quest lines. Such as do the 120 Knights vigil when you reach 120 in the middle of the beginner story line or do Voyagers times and daily quests when you need a break);
A lot of first time player information is included at the beginning of the Beginning Player Start and Quest line Guide
1) 2014 - New/ Beginning Player Start and Quest Line Guide
2) 2014 - 120 Knights Vigil Quest Line (lvl 120 to start quest line)
3) 2014 - 140 Knight's Vigil II Quest line Guide - (Free 140 equipment) (lvl 140 to start quest line)
4) 2014 - Bimi, Atlantis, Storyline, Quests, Exploration Log, Rewards (lvl 133 to start quest line)
5) North Island - Profession Storyline / Exploration / Cards / Rewards (lvl 120 required, 140 suggested to start quest line)
2014 - Voyagers Times Quests (quests start at various levels, some do start at level 1)
Silk Route, Saint Andrews - Quanzhu Daily Quests (lvl 60 to receive quests)
World Ocean/ Naval Intelligence & Industrial Quests (level 120 to do these quests)
2014 - Gonzalez in Barcelona; Free 140 Weapon (lvl 100 to see first quest, lvl 140 to see weapon quest)
2014 - Valentines Day Daily Quest & Quest Line (lvl 120 to receive quests)
2018 - Arena Quests (lvl 60, 90, 120 to receive different sets of quests)
Request ; Supply Officer's Request quest line (daily task) (Any level can start the quests but level 140+ recommended to kill Rampant Pirates)
Instances you can do daily; see the instances part of the list of guides;
Take daily instance task (Athens dock or Seville Sanctum of Memories) every day you play.
Beginner instances; Crete (sea) Battlefield, Crete Maze copy (Instance), Straight of Gibraltar (Sea), Mallorca Instance, Madagascar Instance, Bombay Instance. - you will need the drops from these instances to refine/improve the stats of your equipment and they give a lot of experience/leveling points. You can do each instance up to 3 times per day!
I also suggest you to the daily trade task (Athens or Sanctum of memories) every day you play - you will need the trade point cards (TPC) to get refining items for your equipment (see Trade points Exchanger in Barcelona city)
The daily Valentines task give a high amount of experience for very little work. Do it daily.
At level 60 you can do the low level arena quests and they give good experience as well.
Silk Route and Saint Andrews will also give you high amounts of experience and silver coin for very little work, do it daily as well.
Make money by farming the cannon and figureheads in North Sea instance (use double drop card when possible).... Until you are strong enough to farm Hurricane Island Cave instance (farm cannon operator jewelry)
If you can get someone to help you kill the Rampant Pirates in London Suburbs (last part of quest line); Do the daily task "Request; Supply Officers Request" (level 1 to take quests) from the NPC on London Upper dock (next to the mid-summer event envoy).
Do the quest every day - Keep all items from that quest; You will need the items from that quest in the future.
If at all possible, when starting a new character play on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
We get double experience (on most things done in game) on those days.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All new players NEED to start the game by doing the Beginner Story line Quest
(Quest line starts when your character first appears in game,
you talk to the NPC in front of you).
There really is no other way to obtain level 140 fast, except to do all 3 quest lines - unless you buy Item Mall promotion items.
(Beginner, Knights Vigil 120, Knights Vigil 140)
140 is now considered start of game.
