    Good evening ladies and gents!
    I'm coming back for a nostalgic trip and had a few questions.
    I'm planning on playing the game without leeching or hp washing. Just mostly focusing on the leveling portion of the game.
    What I want to know is what do you think, in your opinion, is probably a decent class given that criteria?

    Also, for anyone else that decided to not start off with a mage to sell leech, were you able to upgrade your gear with the mesos you farmed or how was your experience?

    I probably won't make it to endgame, hell, might not even make it to 4th job! I just want the therapeutic feeling of grinding mobs with my own skills and gear earned by the same character.

    So yeah... I guess that's it.

    Thank you!

    I'd say just pick your favorite class if you're not thinking about endgame! I guess theoretically assassin, archers, and gunslinger are the most annoying to grind so anything but those 4? idk

    I didn't skip the wash, but I started as a paladin and leveled it up from 1-200 without ever touching leech.

    I started as mage and it was probably the easiest one to start with looking back,
    Good damage at the beginning, good area damage if you choose I/L and very fun in my opinion.

    Hardest was sin, even without washing it's very hard to lvl and dmg with no proper funds.

    But I love mages before even hearing about washing, I truly think they're the most fun

    Shadower seems like a good option.

    They're decent to good at practically everything. Great exp per hour with Meso Explosion between level 70-120 (generally better than leeching) and grinding at 4th job is one of the best too. Boomerang Step has a large range, Band of Thieves hits 360 degrees, Assaulter provides mobility while looking cool af and Pickpocket dropping cold hard CASH around you while actually being a good source of bonus meso.

    Bossing-wise you have different combo's for single target, 2 targets and 3 or more targets. This and your main single target skill Assassinate having an optional Dash + the ability to charge it while in Dark Sight to deal massive amounts of damage (mainly useful at the start of a boss and during Weapon Cancel), makes it a pretty interactive class.

    Pot usage is low as Boomerang Step gives invincibility while casting and you naturally also have the highest avoidability of any class. HP challenges are enough for Shadower and you can on paper get away without relying on Hyper Body while doing them.

    You also provide a nice QoL party utility, Smokescreen, making you throw a smoke grenade that causes you and party members inside the smoke to be invincible for the entire duration.

    Also you're completely self sufficient. No buffs from other classes significantly increase your damage output.

    The only downside is that Shadowers are below average damage dealers in both single target and multiple target bosses, though technically that could be compensated by Assassinate + Meso Explosion combo if you're really hardcore (no one does this lel).

    Thank you all for replying!

    I have narrowed it down between shad/pally.

    I think I might be overthinking a little too much. Just going to pick one and get started!

    pally is meta end game, but i heard its boring, and you'll be stuck doing slash blast til 4th job. I think it's a cool class, but i thought you should know, since if youre grinding it can get pretty old and boring to not get new attack skill til 4th job....

    That is very true, but on the other hand, I'm not sure if I'm going to be even able to afford using meso explosion after 70 haha. Since that's the main way cbs level. How is Pally meta though? Doesn't them hitting 1 line kind of cap their damage output?

    mmmm 1 line is fine since they hit 100k+ line. It does matter when they fight against ele weak bosses with apple since they hit maximum dmg cap of 199k, but it's not much of a factor til late late 4th job, so i wouldn't worry about it.

    CB leveling with meso explosion is the fastest method, but they have other mobbing skills that are good as well. Even without meso explosion, they are one of the fastest 3rd job leveling wise.

    I think all warriors, bandits, archers, and mages are all good choices for leveling during 3rd job. Given no funding, probably DK fastest along with mages, and then CB, then the rest. With funding, meso explode goes brrrrrrrrr.

    Shadower and Paladin are both excellent choices for a first character and there are many people who still play theirs at level 185+. You can't go wrong with either choice!
