Novice
Novice
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!

Novice Combat Guide
Novices don't have any active skills at their disposal aside fromFor 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.
As for stats, you'll probably want to focus on STR (to hit harder), AGI (to attack faster and dodge some attacks), and DEX (to miss less often) until your job change. If you plan on becoming a Mage, Archer, Acolyte, or bow Thief, you can pay 1000z to use the Stat/Skill Reset NPC in order to reallocate stat points after your first job change.
Novice Leveling Areas
RECOMMENDED AREA:
- Payon Dungeon - Payon Cave F1(pay_dun00)
- Target monsters: Familiar (aggressive), Skeleton, Zombie (aggressive), Poporing (looter)
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
ALTERNATIVE AREAS:
- Bibalan Dungeon - Undersea Tunnel F1(iz_dun00), Undersea Tunnel F2(iz_dun01)
- Target monsters: Plankton, Vadon, Marina, Hydra (aggressive), Kukre (looter), Cornutus
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 Fields
- Target monsters: Poring, Lunatic, Drops, Pupa, Rocker, Hornet
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.
