Skip Prologue
Once you pick up your character, talk to Beatrice and jump through the portal. After the cutscene, you will get off the boat, and it will give you the option to continue or skip the prologue. Once you skip it, you will get to level 10 and get the mount and a pet early on. You will save about 25 minutes of the game time if you skip.
Equip Your Pet and Use Your Mount
If you have bought the founders pack, you can hit “alt P” to bring up the pet menu to equip it right away. The mount is very important since it gives you the mobility to move around, and the pet picks up gear, gold, and materials for you. It is more efficient to have this pet than clicking G to pick up items.
Mount and Pet Quest
The mount is tied to the main story quest so you cannot miss it. The pet quest is the purple quest. At level 14 you will see this pop-up and go to the first town to meet Lucy and the quest for your little rabbit pet.
If you don’t see the quest, click advent the quest journal and a purple quest will show up on your left side. These are called legacy quests. Legacy quests are meant for the whole account, so you only need to do this once.
The Main Story Questline and Leveling Tips
We are going to level the fastest by simply powering through the main story questline.
Grab and Use Waypoints/Triports
The main quest starts as orange and eventually turns blue once you get your ship.
Only focus on these two and ignore any other colors for max leveling efficiency. Always use the triports to travel around the map because it will save a lot of time and be much faster.
Overlay Map
You can use your overlay map and push alt and left click to teleport directly from the map instead of bringing up the normal map by pressing M. Don’t mind the silver cost, just teleport everywhere if you want to be as efficient as possible.
Teleport Out From Dungeons
If you are in a dungeon or instance, you can just teleport out by clicking F2 and bringing out the song list. You can click any song you need or drag it to your Hotbar and it will teleport you out of the zone, so you do not need to pay for the teleport.
If you are lost, just click the diamond shape below to bring out the map to highlight the place you need to go.
Dismantle Loot
If you have a lot of loot, it is easy to get rid of it. You can dismantle it in the field, sell the dust, and make more money. Some leveling gear gives junk dust and other small pieces sell to the vendor.
Open up the dismantle menu and click one by one whatever you want to throw away, or you can click all instantly while running in the field or the middle of a boss fight.
Swapping Channels
If the channel you are in is crowded and you find it difficult to finish the quests, you can simply go to the top right of the screen and change the channel to a less crowded one.
Interacting With NPCs and Mount Ability
Every mount has different abilities and you need to always use dash on cooldown to make sure you are moving faster. When talking to an NPC, it is always faster to click the G key than clicking the character itself.
When you are at the NPC screen there is no need to spam the G key again. Rather you can use the left click to spam and accept it faster. Many cutscenes cannot be skipped, but some can so pay attention and skip it. Unless you want to follow the story.
Inventory and Potions
You will get a lot of potions while leveling. A region potion gives you health over a certain amount of seconds like 900 health in 8 seconds or 1592 health in 8 seconds.
So use it because it is not worth it to die and run back from the start.
Save the % recovery potions, there are used for raids potions, keep them for later use.
