Greetings, Master.

Congratulations on reaching Lv 50.
However, the real adventure begins now, Master. Please be prepared to brace yourself.
Master can now evolve your character (Advance Job), meet more Astel friends, and acquire more powerful weapons.
Are you lost on where to begin?
Please rely on me and do not worry, Master.
This is why I, Rota, am here. I will teach you the things you need to do from now on.


Evolve character (Advance Class)
Prepare Basic Equipment.
Start Astel Farming.

1-1 Priority Equipment After Reaching Max Level

• For weapons and armor, it is necessary to prepare +10 [Heroic] or +2-3 [Legendary].
  
• If you have progressed through Amy’s quest, you will have acquired at least 20 Heroic Level [Tier 1 Enhancement Scroll], which you can find in the Consumables & Mount tab in your inventory.
  
• You can obtain more [Tier 1 Enhancement Scroll] by completing quests, Master.
  
• Thus, please do not be frugal with them and use them to create a +10 weapon and armor, even if their option is not quite to your liking.
  
• It is very easy to obtain Heroic Level Weapons, Armor, and Accessories once you reach Legendary (Easy) dungeons, so it is best to focus on having your equipment reach a basic spec that can support you in these dungeons.

1-2 First Recommended Instanced Dungeon to go to at Max Level

• [Growth 4 Player Rutless Den]

Obtain Astel Cards and Astels by quickly completing Growth 4 Player Rutless Den.
It is best to take small steps at a time and start Astel farming at an easy dungeon rather than waste tickets at a difficult one.

1-3 First Recommend Quests to start at Max Level

• [Weekly] Scattered God’s Fragment

You can obtain this quest at the entrance of Astara, Greleaf, and Rag Rock.
It is a quest where you obtain God’s Fragment through hunting monsters that reside in Astara, Rag Rock, and Greleaf. However, it will be difficult to hunt these monsters with Master’s skills at first. Thus, I recommend following the boss raids that occur in the Astara, Greleaf, and Rag Rock. By completing this quest, you can obtain 500 Star Caller Coins.

• [Daily] Clear Legendary Dungeon Quests

You can accept this quest at Meiville Village.
The dungeons required changes depending on the day of the week, which allows you to try various dungeons throughout the week.
At Master’s current state Rutless Den, Crimson Rock Valley, and Hashmal Laboratory which opens on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday respectively would be a nice place to begin.

1-4 First Recommended Hunting Grounds to go to at Max Level

• [Near Almantin Village]

Before sweeping monsters off the front yard of Almantin Village, I recommend eating foods that increase Masters EXP gain, such as [Roast Turkey].

Evolving character raises important stats and provides you with new skills. Therefore, it will raise Masters spec to another level.


Character Enhancement (Awakening to Lv 5)
Obtain Legendary Equipment
Continue Astel Farming

2-1 Priority Equipment After Evolving (Advancing)
It is necessary to gain at least +7 Legendary Weapon and Armor. For Accessories, I recommend +10 Heroic or, depending on how useful the options are, a +2~3 Legendary Weapon. As long as you are working towards getting the best equipment, you will be able to get Legendary Weapon and Armor within 2~3 days of going to instant dungeons. Don’t forget to take breaks in-between, and make sure to give your body a nice stretch!

2-2 Recommended Instant Dungeons After Evolving (Advancing)

• [Legendary (Hard) Rutless Den], [Crimson Rock Valley]

Legendary Dungeons cannot compare to Growth Dungeons as you can gain at least 3 Heroic level items.
Farm Astels and dismantle Heroic items to gain Enhancement Stones.
With a little bit of luck, you might be able to gain some useful Heroic items.
When it is hard to find a party, going to Legendary (Easy) Rutless Den alone is also a good idea.

2-3 Recommended Quests After Evolving (Advancing)

• [Meiville] Weekly Colosseum Conqueror

You can obtain 350 Star Caller Coins by completing the Colosseum Quest 3 times.
Since the Colosseum Quest can be completed even when entering the Colosseum as a party, with a little bit of time investment, you can obtain enough Star Caller Coins to purchase 6 cards.

• [Miodan] Daily Quest, Weekly Quest

By completing the Miodan Daily Quest and Weekly Quests, you can obtain treasures that you can equip in the Class Treasure Slot. You can obtain treasure more powerful than the currently existing ones by completing one week of quests, which you can then evolve into better ones after completing 3 weeks of quests.

• [Avalon] Daily Quest, Weekly Quest

When entering Avalon you obtain +10 Tier 2 Weapon and Armor.
While this equipment is not enough to defeat more-experienced players it is enough to fight side by side along your allies. Moreover, because the equipment's performance is the same on monsters, you can safely complete the quests during Peace Time after taking over the Holy Stones and receiving the quests. You can also gain an abundance of experience points, so please challenge yourself to do the Avalon weekly quests.

2-4 Recommended Hunting Grounds After Evolving (Advancing)

• [Greleaf Entrance]

If you are tired from too many battles then you may rely on us Astels, Master.
While you are taking a quick break or before going to bed, you may leave the hunting to us Astels.
If you are near the entrance of Greleaf, 1 Scholar, 1 Tanker, and 1 Warrior Astel is enough to maintain a battle.
You can maintain 3 Astels at once by consuming Shining Star Atra Potion.
There is still room for growth after character evolution, Master.
By obtaining stars through character Awakening, you can increase the character’s main stat and obtain unique class skills.

2-5 Guild
It is not necessary to join a guild but you can obtain useful information by joining one.
Also, there are many wonderful people in guilds, so for a more enjoyable experience in Astellia I recommend joining a guild, Master.


Obtain Tier 2 Equipment
Make Your Debut in Avalon
Farm Treasures

3-1 Priority Equipment After Lv 5 Character Enhancement
Now, Master is a full-fledged powerful Astellian.
To take the next step in your adventure it is now time to collect legendary items with options suited for your class and fusion Tier 2 equipment.
Runes and Star Jewels that Master gathered while hunting will also help in growing stronger.

3-2 Recommended Dungeons After Lv 5 Character Enhancement
After you have created a Tier 2 Weapon and Armor and successfully enhanced them to +5, you can challenge yourself to the final dungeons: Haveli Mansion, Dimensional Library Basilia, and the Ascender’s Throne.

3-3 Recommended Quests After Lv 5 Character Enhancement

• [Tulie] Daily Quests, Weekly Quests

Star Keeper Virgo, Flame-purifying Corvus can be obtained through Daily and Weekly quests in Tulie.
Moreover, you can purchase weapons and Armor suited to your class, and the two Astels mentioned above using the currency obtained from Daily and Weekly quests.

3-4 Recommended Hunting After Lv 5 Character Enhancement

• [Avalon]

Hunting for experience points has yet to end.
After enhancing your character to Lv 5 you can evolve the character 2 more times..
If you have Knight, Scholar, and Warrior Astel above 6-star, then find a lot where the enemies cannot find you. If you start hunting there with your Astels you can obtain experience as well as Rune and Star Jewels.

3-5 Treasure
There are various ways to obtain Treasures with various effects such as treasure crafting, dungeons, quests, and purchase using Avalon currency.
Certain treasures can be enhanced so you must work to enhance them afterwards.


Master, there is still much to do even after reaching maximum level.
Until Master can save Fey and save the world from Euria.
Please march on, and do not stop.
If Master does not lose hope, and does not give up.
We Astels will always be by your side.

[Update 9/15] Unfortunately, due to further balance testing needed, #1-3 have been postponed until further notice. We will announce again when an exact date is set. We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences this may have cause :(


Hello Master,

Have you been able to enjoy the power of Tier 3 items? It was amazing, wasn’t it? You know, Pisces thinks that Master is really reliable! Today Pisces brought a lot of exciting news for our reliable Master.

1. Max Level Increase to Lv 52
Master, we've been staying at Lv 50 for a really long time, right?
Well they say there’s going to be an increase in max level.
Let’s hurry and become Lv 52 to defeat Euria and find Master’s little sister.

2. New Region: Honduwaga
Master, do you remember the Hondus that we met near Northeast Wind Hill?
They had really big horns, right?
Well, Honduwaga is where the Hondus gather and live together.
Be prepared, because we are going to meet powerful enemies that we’ve never seen before.

3. [Mythic] Grade Item: Ring
The Hondus in Honduwaga worship an Ancient God, Umdra.
They say long long ago Umdra used to bestow rings endowed with its power.
I thought it only existed in folklore, but some say they’ve actually seen the ring.
You know I’m always lucky, right Master?
I might just find it if we go to Honduwaga.

4. New Quest Added
You say you want to know how to get to Honduwaga?
Don’t worry. A brand new quest will take you there.
Rota told me the quest wasn’t too hard.
Oh, and the best part?
I heard there will be a quest where you can get Lv 50 Legendary equipment as a full set.

A Level expansion, new region, and a quest that rewards a full set of Legendary equipment! What do you think, Master? This month sounds exciting too, right?

Stay tuned. Pisces will come back with more exciting news next month!

(P.S. Non-story version will be posted closer towards the maintenance date)
