    Hey there! Original pre-bang player here. It's been a long time since I stopped playing when there were just explorers. I remember getting my NL to level 90s was awesome. I also played MSM and quit it 2 years ago due to app crashes. It was easy to get used to because the mobile game hand-holds you all the way.

    I created my first character here yesterday and BAM!, I found out I didn't remember anything about pre-bang leveling and itemization. Were questing or mobbing better? I was a semi dex-less assassin, there were some boots and bathrobes scrolling involved but where and why did I get them? I don't remember anything at all (except basic locations, PQs, and the banger music of the game)! I found some guides here on this forum. Got the idea of HP washing, and the necessity to start with a cleric but they are not answering my very basic questions. If you guys can point me out to certain guides, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

    First off, welcome to the server. I'll see if I can point you in the right direction for some guides to help you out. If I miss any, I'm sure someone else will comment with ones that I've missed.

    Playing the server efficiently (optional)
    Ellin Ring Questline (Lv.50+)
    Places to leech and their EXP per minute
    Lv.1 - Lv.35 in under 6 hours
    Monster Book hunting guide for Monster Ring
    Zak JQ video guide Pt.1 | Pt.2
    Leech Calculator to show how much leech is (best used in the future)
    Owl Repo for FM prices, check out the guide on how to contribute
    Job guides can be found in the guides section, I'd suggest ones that are hopefully recently updated or posted

    Unfortunately, a good chunk of guides are also old and clueless.

    You definitely don't have to start with a cleric, its a common misconception. Just play whatever you enjoy

    Thank you! I decided to make a bishop anyway because I like healers in general. I guess I have several questions.

    1. Should I look out for equips and scrolls in general at low levels for myself and to sell? I am just using whatever drops for now (I am currently level 19).
    2. Should I go LUKless?
    3. Which path is the best for leveling? Quests, mobbing, or PQs? IIRC some PQs were better in terms of leveling in pre-bang original maple but ML guides tend to favor quests I think.

    Like you, I'm wearing whatever drops at this point - I'm a regular build though. My nephew went lukless and he is way more powerful than I am! Quests give you 3 exp; PQ's are always a fast way to level (if that is what you are looking for).

    until ~30-40 quests are definitely the best option. PQ's are great for meeting people. My closest friends on this server I met doing PQ's. Training is faster and you get a lot of mesos from gach tickets.

    It's probably worth it to card farm mobs near your level to make life easier for yourself in the future should you aim for the monster book ring.

    LUKless is super good on ML because elemental wands have no penalty for using the wrong element. Also the only benefit LUK mages have over LUKless is that Staffs have more Magic Attack, but one INT is worth as much as a Magic Attack (a little more actually) but the amount of INT you miss out on by putting in LUK is usually more than the Magic Attack you gain from stronger Equips / Weapons.

    For LUKless equips, you don't need much until 4th job, and for weapons you can go Wooden Wand > Green Paint Brush > Yellow Umbrella / Nocturnal Staff > Heart Wand > Elemental Wand 1-4 > Elemental Wand 5-8. Mages basically don't need gear until 4th. Though a Zakum Helmet is kinda nice at lvl 50.

    A lot of great training locations are also holy weak / undead so training will be a breeze for you.

    At around level 70-90 I would recommend learning about MP washing. Level 90 is a great spot to start, and it's pretty easy to do if you've built up a votestreak and lots of NX. Once you start nearing 30k MP you can decide whether or not you want to HP wash. (essentially only needed for bossing)

    Also make sure your Bishop is on it's own account. Bishops eat up NX you'll need for other classes and they're amazing when multiclienting. Even if you don't want to multiclient / self leech now you might later so it's good to give yourself the option.

    Potion costs can get expensive. I'd recommend you check out the potions at New Leaf City. Do some math and save yourself some mesos. (Grilled Cheese is cheaper than Elixers and it Gives more MP plus it heals your HP.) (Mana Bulls are great once you have ~4k-5k MP) also consider checking the Free Market for Power Elixers.

    Don't worry about playing optimally on this server. It's your story after all. The people on the forums will tell you that you have to do this or that but we're moving towards a future where you can play however you want.

    I hope you have a good time on the server! smilemush
