Even if you say you want to get stronger, isn't there a way to get stronger faster…?
This page is for people like you.

1. Accumulate SP and learn all the skills you want for your future job.
2. In the job you want to become stronger in, accumulate SP rapidly (the amount of SP required varies depending on the method)
3. Once you've accumulated enough SP, use it intensely at the Fountain of Wishes to boost your stats.
4. It's complete once you reach level 99 with all stats maxed out.
   

This is a path you'll inevitably take unless you're aiming to conquer the highest level quest areas.
This guide shows you what you can do to get there faster.

Also, this page is clearly written from the perspective of someone who is intimately familiar with the game.
If you find it troublesome, I strongly recommend compromising to some extent.

If you've just registered, all you can do is work hard without thinking about anything else.
The thing you need to consider here is how much money you have.
If you just blindly eat whatevery you want at Patty's Bar, you'll run out of money in no time.
Save your money wisely and go to the casino.

Play on the $1slot machine and wait for a win.
This slot machine is easy to win on, and if you keep pressing the button repeatedly, your coins will rapidly increase.
Once you've exceeded roughly [the next machine up x 100] in coins, move up to the next machine and repeat.
Once you've accumulated 200,000 coins, exchange them for the ElevatingShoes.

These shoes are excellent because they give you Exp equal to the number of quest rounds you make it to, x20.
With these, your leveling efficiency as a beginner will increase dramatically.

• Your stats will increase, allowing you to help weaker players and even take on some of the stronger enemies.
• You don't need to spend as much SP at the Fountain of Wishes.
• Since you'll actually be using the job you're training, you'll get a sense of its appeal and fighting style during the training phase.
• In many cases, you can understand the basic mechanics of the game.

• It's inefficient unless your stats are high enough.
• Improving efficienct requires quite a few things, such as area-of-effect attacks and accident prevention, so it's quite difficult to persue effectively
• The key is your stat growth rate; if your MP growth is D, it's a whole different world, but if it's E then it's hell.
• For the reasons mentioned above, teamwork is crucial; if you're soloing, you're easily overwhelmed by boss-type enemies.

This is the most reasonable approach, and personally, it's the one that puts me at ease. The most difficult part of this method is securing the necessary stats and skills.

To improve your stats, don't immediately change jobs at level 20.
By repeatedly changing jobs at high level, your stats will steadily increase.
You can start out changing at level 20, but it's recommended to gradually increase the level to 30, 35, 40, 35, and so on.
Once you're able to repeatedly change jobs around level 60, your stats should be stable.

Regarding skill acquisition, the ones I desire are as follows:

This greatly affects the efficiency of battles against weaker enemies.
While your stats are still unstable, having something like Sage's Boom magic should be sufficient.
Once your stats are stable, you'll generally want an area-of-effect attack that deals around 120-160 damage.
Anything above 180 is not recommended due to the high MP consumption, except for things like CoinToss…

This greatly affects the efficiency of boss battles.
In reality, if your healing is stable, you can substitute whatever you're using as an area-of-effect attack.
If your healing is not stable, you should focus on stabilizing it through means other than damage output, so having higher damage output won't change the situation.
However, having higher damage output allows for earlier boss defeats, which reduces the burden.

Something like Midheal is sufficient; if you want more, then Multiheal or Cura would be good.

Definitely recommended if you're going to be spamming area-of-effect attacks like crazy.
If your stats are stable but you're still running out of MP, then either your job's MP is poor or your consumption is high.
You'll have to decide on whether to compromise or prioritize MP recovery.

If your stats are stable and you have the ability to revive, you should be stable enough to lead a newbie by around level 30.
Once you reach this point, you can just have fun playing and aiming for the level cap.

Although I've written a lot here, don't lose sight of the job you originally desired just so you can level up efficiently.
If you can't pull it off, you'll have to compromise, even if doing so is a little less efficient.

• Stats don't play a factor at all, so you can take on any job.
• The only requirement is that you learn Kamikazee as a Merchant, so preparation is easy once you're a little familiar with the game.

• The number of quests required to level up is ridiculously high.
• The character's stats are poor and they have few skills available since the game assumes repeated job changes at Lvl 20.

Learn Kamikazee as a Merchant and simply use Kamikazee at the start of the quest.
Assuming that two enemies appear on average when playing solo, we can calculate the expected value from the instant-kill rate of Kamikazee.
You can earn an average of 120 Exp per run in Dark World, and an average of 200 Exp per run in the Strongest Champion challenge.

Since you need 3610 Exp to reach Lvl 20, to change jobs you'll need to do Dark World about 31 times, or Strongest Champion around 19 times.
If you try to level up this way, you can't really do anything else, which might be a little lonely.
Well, if you get a bonus that increases the number of enemies and then use Kamikazee in Dark World, it'll probably be more efficient…
It remains to be seen whether or not that's more consistent than Strongest Champion.

If you have the ElevatingShoes, even Strongest Champion will net you +10% Exp.
Could it be that Kamikazee might be the easiest way to reap this benefit?

It's also a good idea to leverage your Merchant status and party up with others as a treasure hunter to earn items.
If you're lucky enough to get CelestialReins as a reward, you can reach the maximum level and earn SP more easily.

• Incredible metal-hunting ability.
• While it's likely to be a case of changing jobs early, you might be able to progress further if you work hard.

• Obtaining the required ScholarsSpecs to become an Arithmetician is a tough challenge.
• Specialized knowledge is required.
• Compare to other methods, luck plays a very strong role.

This method involves using Arithmatician's xDeath skill to hunt down all the LiquidMetalKing and MetalKingSlime in Tower of the Sorcerer.
Tower of the Sorcerer has a fairly high encounter rate for both, and defeating just one MetalKingSlime will take you from Lvl 1 to Lvl 21.

If you change jobs early, you might run out of MP during battle, so you should be a little careful.
Having the HappyHat item will gradually restore your MP when you act, increasing your endurance.
However, this method is even more difficult to obtain than ScholarsSpecs, and is probably only possible for advanced players.

Also, if there are any players who can make use of their incredible metal-hunting abilities, they can be sent to Madame Garden for hunting.
If you go into Tower of the Sorcerer with ordinary players, you can even provide training support.
However, since this requires specialized arithmetic knowledge, it's difficult to use effectively without the necessary teaching skills and MP management ability.

If you frequently find yourself exhausting your MP, it'd be a good idea to review the MPx method.

1. Confuse your allies by using @Call along the way; if successful, a weak enemy in Wild Hunting Trail will use Confuse, allowing your allies to kill your character with the @Attack command. Alternatively, have the summoned monster in a Parry state succesfully parry your attack and self-destruct. Counterattacks are ineffective. All allies present will receive Exp equal to the number of job changes of the character who died. A job change is possible in as little as 2-3 minutes per attempt.
2. It's also fun to hunt and enjoy (mutual) leveling in the @Arena.

I performed a time trial to see how long it would take to change job for the four jobs mentioned above (Merchant, Arithmetician, Mime, and Samurai).
Changed job at Lvl 20, all solo. Hope this helps.
