I have played many mmorpg, so I have more experience to know on how to play a mmorpg. Most of the people I see they play hard in their mmorpg, they can spend many hours on it and still gain nothing, they even tell me that one day can gain 5% experience is a very good result already and they are happy about it, so I think : wtf?! 5% experience a day is very good? still got 95% need to work hard to gain level up? if one day 5%, that means 95% / 5% = 19 days of grindwork to do then only level up? omg!

For me, I dont like to play so hard in mmorpg, because there is always a way to play easier in every mmorpg. Everytime when I play a new mmorpg, I have a habit to check all the detail that is available on their website, I used to research on each character ability and advantage, like what is their pros and cons, which one kills faster, which one easy to survives, which one makes money etc. Usually I will create 3 type of character at the beginning, a warrior, a creator, and a thief. Warrior is the best character to explore the world and monster tester, because they have attack power and they can tank, so the stat I put on them usually power, hp or defense. I use warrior to explore everywhere and hit every monster, and later I can get a result or conclusion on where is the best spot to leveling.

I have my own way for leveling. From lvl1 to lvl99, I separate them into different gap, if a job change is lvl50 then I separate them into 2 gaps, lvl1 to lvl30, lvl31 to lvl50, and so on after lvl50. So why I separate them into gaps? that is because each gap has its trick for easy leveling, the trick is that for each gap what is the equipment that you can wear for easy leveling? what kind of quest can you do in each gap? That is what I always analyse in each mmorpg. Another benefit for separate levels into gap is the gap can be as a target for motivating or encouraging you to reach them, so you will not think that leveling is a boring job and feel like distance so far to reach and you start lazy or stop at all for leveling. From lvl1 to lvl30, or from lvl1 to lvl100, which one sounds more far to you? I guess you have the answer. How about from lvl31 to lvl50? lvl51 to lvl75? from lvl75 to lvl99? Sounds easier right?

Equipment are the most important thing for leveling in mmorpg, and no one can deny for this, but purchasing a gear or weapon has to be wise and smart. My habit for purchasing gears and weapon is I always want to know that such equipment can bring me till where? Everytime I do alot of research in fansite or forum, most of the fansite have more detail about gears and weapon compare to the mainsite, so I go there and find out each of them. Forum is also a nice place to do research, from the forum I can get imformation from the seniors what is the best, I write it down and I go back to the fansite to check the detail. Short to say as my solution is : Try to get the best equipment that can bring you leveling fast in each gap and no need to change in the middle way, refine them as possible +1 +2 +3 till full if possible, you will need them even after you reach the next gap because you can safe them in your bank for your another character even more easier leveling next time.

We need a creator to make money or to do refinement. People call them in different name as in different mmorpg, but you know what I mean the character that can do refinement job more easier than other character, here I called them creator because they can create alot of thing. The creator is the most important character for you to become rich, not because their fighting ability but because their ability to make money, so it is necessary if everyone should have a creator in their account. Here I wont explain much about it as I bet everyone knows it ^^, but if you really want you warrior to leveling fast then you should make one creator for him, because he can make money or equipment for your warrior.

Another character that can make money easy for you is the thief. Most of the thief are made to be nimbleness, fast, agile, and handy. Thief can use lesser potion compare to warrior because they can evade most attacks from monsters, they attack faster and they can hide when dangers occur, and their most useful skill is steal, they can steal item from the moster that never drop by killing it, sometimes even rare item. Thief can also become powerful as warrior or sometimes in certain situation even more powerful than warrior, because of the certain killing skill they have like backstab, hide in the shadow or poison attack, you never know when you get killed by him, which makes them a fearful enemy to face. Some people choose to play thief not warrior at the beginning is because of this. As a conclusion, thief is money maker and assassin.

Okay, so now I have all 3 of them, how I can leveling more easier with them? Here is my way to play in mmorpg:
(1) Get a weapon and gear with nice stat,?start to slay the monsters that my warrior can kill, until I cant kill anymore, and rise the grind case, I stop here, do some quest, may be my level here is lvl10, or higher, or lower.
(2) Approach the refining npc, see what ingredient for refining my sword or gears better, then use my thief to steal or kill to get the ingredient.
(3) After collected enough ingredient, use my creator to refine my gears and weapon to +1 +2 +3 or higher, make sure the stat is enough to bring my warrior till lvl30.
(4) Success refining the equipment, get back to my warrior and go back to the monster that I cant beat last time, now it becomes so easy to kill, hehe ^^ here leveling straight till lvl30 because I know that my equipment can bring me there.
(5) Now my level is lvl30, and its time to change new equipment, go check out at npc store or shops around at center see if any people selling nice equipment for lvl30, try to buy it as possible.
(6) Use the new equipment, repeat step (1) slaying monsters above lvl30, and repeat step (2) and step (3) until lvl50.

Sometimes LUCK also important for easy leveling, if Im so lucky I can get powerful gears or weapons drop from the monster I kill, those lucky gears or weapons usually can bring me till lvl50+, if refine successfully even it can bring me more higher level to lvl60+. I got so lucky playing my trickster because at lvl20 dont know who so rich to throw so many ULTIMATE lvl20 equipment at ground, I quickly pick up all of it and when I see the stat it is WOW, all those equipment can bring me till lvl35! Not that only, trickster has just ended its popurri event and I get so many nice gifts, I drilled out so many popurri ticket during the event that I can sell each of them for 50K, I cant remember how many ticket I sold already and now I have enough money and I bought the PHARAOH SET at lvl35 which before refine can bring me straight till lvl50! There is no other better equipment for lvl35 to lvl50, if I refine it even can bring me till lvl60+! So I really consider lucky enough ^o^

So, I usually not find any hard to play mmorpg, because I do it my own way, and I dont force myself to repeatedly grind the same monster that I hardly kill. Unfortunately Im not so free to put times playing mmorpg, if not Im sure that my level is not low and I guess I can level up fast enough to reach lvl100 ^^ Do you find my ways really make sense for leveling faster? If you do then may be its time for change and no need to grind so hard again for leveling up ^^ If not then too bad and I hope to hear if you got a better idea to share together :)

Anyway, thanks for reading ^^
