Novices don't have any active skills at their disposal aside from {{Skill2|First Aid}} and {{Skill2|Trick Dead}}. If you find yourself with 1000 zeny to spare and you won't be ready to change jobs for quite some time, Trick Dead can prove rather useful for avoiding death in situations where you may end up overwhelmed by swarms of aggressive monsters.  New players may want to avoid spending zeny on the [[Platinum Skill NPC]] until after their first job change.

Talk to [http://cp.jellyro.com/npcs/view/?id=7229 Nami] inside [[Prontera]]'s West Inn. She will ask you to bring her '''3'''{{Item4|id=507|name=Red Herb's}}, '''3'''{{Item4|id=705|name=Clover's}}, and a Sterilized Bandage.
 +
<br>
 +
In order to get the Sterilized Bandage you need to speak to the [http://cp.jellyro.com/npcs/view/?id=7231 Nursing Instructor].<br>

To find him, go through the north warp portal into [[Prontera Castle]], then head north through the warp portals until you reach the throne room, he will be up the stairs through the warp portal on the right. Once you talk to him, return to [http://cp.jellyro.com/npcs/view/?id=7229 Nami] with the rest of the items and she will unlock the skill.

For the most part, all you'll be doing is stabbing things to death with your trusty Novice Main-Gauche until you can change to the next job.  Because of this, you'll probably want to focus on the following stats:

* STR to hit harder (increases maximum damage) and carry more items.
+
{| role="presentation" class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed innercollapse" width=80%
−
* AGI to attack faster and improve chances at dodging enemy attacks.
+
| '''Play Dead'''
−
* DEX to help hit monsters more accurately.

If you plan on becoming a Mage, Archer, Acolyte, or bow Thief, you can pay 1000 zeny to use the [[Stat/Skill Reset]] NPC in order to reallocate stat points after your first job change.

Talk to [http://cp.jellyro.com/npcs/view/?id=7230 Bulma] inside the Knights Guild at the top left of [[Prontera]], and he will tell you to speak to the [http://cp.jellyro.com/npcs/view/?id=7231 Nursing Instructor] again. Once you do, the [http://cp.jellyro.com/npcs/view/?id=7231 Nursing Instructor] will give you a {{Item4|id=7039|name=Newbie Tag}}.

Equip all of the special [[#Special Equipment|Novice Equipment]] listed above and just start poking things. Focus on Familiars first, then Skeletons if nothing else in the area is trying to attack you. Zombies and Poporings have much more HP than Familiars and Skeletons, so be careful with them or wait until you've gained a few levels before taking them on.

Be sure to run to the Payon Hunters near the entrance if you need a {{Skill2|Heal}} and to refresh your {{Skill2|Blessing}} in case it wears off. You can also run to them if you get overwhelmed by too many aggressive Zombies and Familiars. Leveling will go even faster if you complete [[Rennard]]'s quest so you can volunteer for [[Jason]]'s missing body quest and recruit your own Payon Hunter for level 2 of Payon Dungeon.

An alternative to Payon Dungeon above without the luxury NPCs and player shops outside.  Same strategy, but enemies will be much sparser and it will be much less likely that you'll encounter other players.  If you use the Teleport Service NPC to get here, you'll be warped in right next to the exit portal.

Hydra, Kukre, and Cornutus monsters aren't really a concern until you reach the second floor.  Plankton will be the best target here at first.  Marina will probably take a fair amount of effort to kill.

Very classic way to level - the fields around the capital city of Rune-Midgarts.  Leveling here will be much, much slower than the above two places, but if you aren't in a hurry and are more concerned with exploring and learning about the game world, this option is highly recommended.  Watch out for Creamy and Thief Bug.  Creamy is actually much stronger than the rest of the monsters on the map, so don't attack it right off the bat.  Multiple Thief Bugs in one area could also spell trouble, since they will link and attack together if they notice you attacking one of them.

Novices don't have any active skills at their disposal aside from {{Skill2|First Aid}} and {{Skill2|Trick Dead}}.  If you find yourself with 1000 zeny to spare and you won't be ready to change jobs for quite some time, Trick Dead can prove rather useful for avoiding death in situations where you may end up overwhelmed by swarms of aggressive monsters.  New players may want to avoid spending zeny on the [[Platinum Skill NPC]] until after their first job change.

For the most part, all you'll be doing is stabbing things to death with your trusty Novice Main-Gauche until you can change to the next job.  Because of this, you'll probably want to focus on the following stats:
 +
* STR to hit harder (increases maximum damage) and carry more items.
 +
* AGI to attack faster and improve chances at dodging enemy attacks.
 +
* DEX to help hit monsters more accurately.
 +
If you plan on becoming a Mage, Archer, Acolyte, bow Thief, magic Ninja, or Gunslinger, you can pay 1000 zeny to use the [[Stat/Skill Reset]] NPC in order to reallocate stat points after your first job change.

Novices embark on their journeys with unlimited potential. From where did they come? Where will their adventures take them? Will they find new friends, or will they isolate themselves in this vast world?

Perhaps they will never understand what fate has in store for them, but with enough work, they will become tomorrow's masters. The future looks bright!

Leveling Areas

Payon Dungeon

Payon Cave F1
Target monsters: Familiar (aggressive), Skeleton, Zombie (aggressive), Poporing (looter)
Minimum level: 1

Equip all of the special Novice Equipment listed above and just start poking things. Focus on Familiars first, then Skeletons if nothing else in the area is trying to attack you. Zombies and Poporings have much more HP than Familiars and Skeletons, so be careful with them or wait until you've gained a few levels before taking them on.

Be sure to run to the Payon Hunters near the entrance if you need a

Heal and to refresh your

Blessing in case it wears off. You can also run to them if you get overwhelmed by too many aggressive Zombies and Familiars. Leveling will go even faster if you complete Rennard's quest now so you can volunteer for Jason's missing body quest once you change to your first job.



Bibalan Dungeon

Undersea Tunnel F1, Undersea Tunnel F2
Target monsters: Plankton, Vadon, Marina, Hydra (aggressive), Kukre (looter), Cornutus
Minimum level: 1

An alternative to Payon Dungeon above without the luxury NPCs and player shops outside. Same strategy, but enemies will be much sparser and it will be much less likely that you'll encounter other players. If you use the Teleport Service NPC to get here, you'll be warped in right next to the exit portal. Hydra, Kukre, and Cornutus monsters aren't really a concern until you reach the second floor. Plankton will be the best target here at first. Marina will probably take a fair amount of effort to kill.

Prontera Field

Almost all fields within 1-2 maps of Prontera
Target monsters: Poring (looter), Lunatic, Drops (looter), Pupa, Rocker, Hornet
Minimum level: 1

Very classic way to level - the fields around the capital city of Rune-Midgarts. Leveling here will be much, much slower than the above two places, but if you aren't in a hurry and are more concerned with exploring and learning about the game world, this option is highly recommended. Watch out for Creamy and Thief Bug. Creamy is actually much stronger than the rest of the monsters on the map, so don't attack it right off the bat. Multiple Thief Bugs in one area could also spell trouble, since they will link and attack together if they notice you attacking one of them.

Trick Dead. If you find yourself with 1000 zeny to spare and you won't be ready to change jobs for quite some time, Trick Dead can prove rather useful for avoiding death in situations where you may end up overwhelmed by swarms of aggressive monsters. New players may want to avoid spending zeny on the Platinum Skill NPC until after their first job change.
