Dragon Nest Tips, tricks and guide on how to level 1-90

Hi guys!!!90 CAP is already released and new dungeons need to discover. Many players would ask, where to level fast 80-90? I tried some experiments on what dungeon to level the fastest which would be discussed later. Sad to say free 70% Hero scroll Exp has been removed after the release of 90 CAP and all of Anu Arendel dungeons Abyss dungeon is also removed. It just took me 2 and a half hours to level 80-90.

EXP BUFF
 If you have more than 3 maximum characters in your account, you will be given an extra exp buff. 
This is an illustration example of extra EXP buff for sub characters



Level 1-10
                 In this level all you need to do is get all your main quest until you reached level 5. If you really wanna level as fast as you can, I advice to start entering a guild as low as level 5. The guild should have a complete pledge costume, at least a level 24 guild. Guild master should always update the Guild EXP buff. You can see it on the upper right side of the screen. The guild should be recommended by your friend so you would have an idea about the guild before joining because once you left you'll loose all the benefits that you get from the guild.When you reached level 10 you can now do your quest at Calderock town.Start looking for master or booster that can help you to level in Sigh Canyon from level 10-16 Hard mode.

Master Apprentice System

This is a Teacher-Student party effect where you can be an apprentice once you are level 10. You can only have a total of 3 masters.
Benefits:
  1.                10 % exp each up to a total of 30%= solo run with your master
  2.                 5% exp= if you have fellow apprentice with the same master.
  3.                 you can also get a free repair on your set during after dungeon run.
Note:
              I prefer to do main+side+board quest because of the reward given by the NP in each quest completion. for example I got a free horse on level 16 side quest or a free saddle in level 57 trainer Lindsay side quest.In clearing instances, gather the monster at the same position all time so you could do 1 hit combo.

Benefits Of a Guild



The extend of the bonus depends on the guild level:
  • Guild level 5-   additional         2% exp
  • Guild level 10- additional        5%exp
  • Guild level 15-  additional        7% exp
  • guild level 20- additional         10% exp
Buy pledge costume to enjoy the 10% exp full set bonus, you need to have 7 piece costume(Guild level 24). The pledge expires after 30 days. If its your first time to enter a guild you'll receive a free 50% Hero scroll or what you called (2X) EXP which is valid for 7 days. I advice that before the scroll expires your level should be 60 already because the Hero scroll is not effective when you reached level 60 and up.

                                                                                      This is a screen shot of a max level guild exp buff.

Level 16-26
                       The next dungeon you will run with your master is DTMI(Dark Tower Magic Institute). When you reached level 24 you can now access saint haven channel but I still prefer that you go DTMI because of its short time run. You can finish this dungeon for less than 2 mins in abyss mode when you have your master with you.This is also the level where you can enter to your first nest, Minotaur Nest. Where you can craft Elf Queens set and get premium plates to enhance your set. Always remember to update your gears as much as possible from +8 to +10 if your gonna go solo for you to finish the dungeon fast and to survive. Crafting to +7 and up is risky so make sure that you have spare items in case it would broke

Level 26-32
                 The next dungeon you need to grind is FDR(Flooded Downstream Ruins) because of its straightforward, easy run and the board quest gives (2x) higher exp. You can gain 139520 exp in a 4 man party and you could finish it around 3:40 mins Hard mode. If your planning to run with your master or booster, you'll gain 223,250 exp in abyss mode and finished it around 2:33 mins.
---VERSUS----
FIC(Forsaken Islet Core) gives you a little bit higher EXP.
If your running with you master or booster  in abyss mode, you'll gain 245462 EXP and finish it around 2:50 mins.

Friendly Tip
                 If you gonna do solo run make sure you get all side quest before leaving the town and start dungeons. you can experience 1 run 4-6 side quest which gives you a lot exp. So doing solo mode is not bad unless you need other players to unlock your abyss quest.

1ST TIME AT Saint Haven? What to do?
  • Start Farming!!Get your farming quest  to Event planner Irene and talk to farmer Mori to get your farming equipment. I advice to start farming as early as level 24 because you need time to level your farming skill to intermediate 8<max farming level>. I can earn 400 gold x 3 character= 1200 gold per week. I advice to plant Golden apple seed to make your farming skill into level 6.
  • Search for 200%Channel bonus EXP which is randomly distributed on 12 channels. It is located on the upper right portion of your screen. It is a star beside the word channel. You can also find this EXP channel on Lotus Marsh.
Level 32 to 40
            GDC(Gates to Death City) would be the next dungeon to grind. It gives you 240560 EXP and finish it around 2:40 mins if your gonna run with your master in abyss mode. I just wanna tell you that you can double your EXP and make it 522040, if you find the right 200% channel bonus EXP.You can also try the Hessian Goblin at the Wonderful Theme Park. It can only be done seven times in a week.
           
Level 40-50
             Go to Lotus marsh and start grinding RR(River ruins) Hard  which is located at the Northeast side portal.River Ruins is the easiest and shortest way I could advice.If your in a party of 4 you can finish 1 run in 2-3 minutes but if you do solo you can finish it in 4-5 mins in master difficulty.I don't advice clerics to solo mode because we all know that they are slow type characters.
Note: You can add an additional EXP if your starting town would be saint haven which gives you an additional channel bonus. Do not forget to get your 3rd advancement job on your respected NPC master when u reached level 45. My solo run formula,I advice to get your main quest, side quest, daily quest from merchant Locita and run it in hard mode. Dont forget to buy your full pledge costume.You can also rent +10 items from merchant Nerf which cost 1 teardrop per item. It doesn't have any set bonus but +10 weapons would be helpful in your run.You can still equip jades in the rental items.
---VERSUS---
               DFB(Dragon Followers Base) Master. I suggest to grind DFB if your booster or Master can do a 1 hit kill on the Boss Stage because it is faster compared to RR. You can finish it around 2-3 mins and gives a little bit higher EXP compared to RR. This dungeon is only applicable for those who only have booster/ master.

When you reached level 40 FTG consumption is getting higher. Dont panic if you totally consumed all your FTG because it will only affect the item drop rate and not the exp you earned. I advice to have at least 300 FTG when entering a nest run. If you have a budget and really wanna level it fast. I suggest to buy Limitless Hero's EXP Scroll 200%(lv80). You can buy this as early as level 1 if your gonna buy a 30 days Hero scroll.












Level 50-60
                     MSCB(Meteor Crash Site Boundaries) Master mode is the best dungeon to level because of its straightforward way. You can go first to lotus marsh  and look for a party of 4 but before you enter MSCB your party should go first to saint haven to have an additional channel bonus exp. 

If you don't have budget to buy this Hero Scroll 200%. I suggest to get all your level 50 main and side Quest.All dungeons are run in Hard solo mode.Get all your quest before leaving the town. You can get 6-10 Quest per run and each quest gives 130,000-160,000 EXP. Even you took 4-5 mins per run its okay because of the EXP you get on your side quest. I also get y daily quest from Loffy the Beggar.

Level 60-70
                  GM(Golden Meadow) at Anu arendel in hard mode in a party of 4 is the best way to level fast. you can finish 1 run in 2-3 mins. Another reason why I don't prefer to do a party run, most of the players quit after 6-10 runs.The disadvantage in running solo mode is FTG consumption is faster. 

Leveling from 60-70 is pretty hard and you will find it too slow. It would take you almost a day just to raised 1 level since your free 50% Hero scroll is not applicable here and also the free channel bonus. I still continue to do what I did on level 50-60 which is do Daily quest, Main and Side Quest. When you reached level 66 do Anu Arendel  Main, Side and remote quest.

Bonus point!!!
Sparta Goblin:The return of the Empire

            I also tried the "Sparta Goblin: The Return of the Empire" which gives me an incredible 30%EXP and you can finish it for at least 5 minutes per run. You can find this special dungeon in the Wonderful Theme park and can only be done seven times a week.Only from level 60 to 69 can enter this Dungeon.


Level 70-75
      After the release of 80 cap I started to make some experiments on how to level fast from 70-80 and I would say that it is pretty much easier compared on leveling from 60-70 because of its short dungeon run and gives a higher EXP compared to other dungeon. I want to explain to you that I divided this experiment in to two phases. 

Phase I<Party run 2-3 persons>
I do Daily Quest from Merlin+ Board Quest+Side Quest+Complete set of Pledge in Master Mode.























Total FTG consumed:                           50FTG per run
Average time per dungeon:                  5-6 mins
EXP earned per dungeon:                    325, 846 EXP
Total EXP earned:                                1039369


Phase II<Solo Run>
I did the same rotation as of phase I, the difference is I go solo run in Hard mode.

Telesia's Elixir






Total FTG consumed per run:     75FTG
Average time per dungeon:         2-3mins
EXP earned per dungeon:           427675EXP
Total EXP earned:                       1141198

In this Experiment I would suggest to do solo run in hard mode on this 4 new dungeons.I also use Telesia's Elixir to boost my ATK AND DEF which is very useful in doing solo run.

Phase III<WHERE TO GRIND?>

After  doing all the new 4 dungeons in solo mode I concluded that the fastest way to level from 70-80 is on AOH<Abyss of Heat> because of its short dungeon run.  I took solo mode because it gives me a higher EXP bonus and the difficulty of the dungeon is easier compared in a party. I could finish 1 run in less than 2.5-3 minutes and took me 8 runs to add 1 level.

8 runs X less than 3 minutes= 20-24 MINUTES to raised 1 level
Therefore I could level raised 2-3 levels per hour.
It would just took 4 hours to reached 80. @__@

Screen shot of AOH (Abbys of heat)run










How do I get 727047EXP? in just soloing?
If you would notice on PHASE II(solo run) I only got 427675 EXP. The secret is on FRAGMENT OF WANDERING SOUL! I just need 10 pieces of it and I could buy an instant 70%HERO'S EXP SCROLL.
Where to buy?
Go to Adventurer's Guild Bulletin board and choose Altar of Wandering soul then General stock and choose Hero EXP.

Level 75-80
When you reached level 75, another portal would open"Lava River" On this all new 4 dungeons, I would suggest to Grind on WW(Wailing Wall) hard mode compared to AOH(Abyss of heat) because of its shorter time run compared to AOH. Wailing wall and Abyss of heat gave the same EXP but  in WW you can finish it in 2 minutes. You can see it on the screen shot below.












Now,its up to you what phase you want to do to reached 80.
I'm still doing some experiments on how to level fast in 80 cap but don't worry guys ill update you if I found a way how.
