Editing Leveling guide (section)

=Quests=
Quests with high [[monster]] density or quick access to bosses are very efficient for leveling. While the most efficient leveling quests are usually located in later Episodes, they can be more difficult to clear. Some quests can be progressed until a certain point, from which the EXP gained by continuing is diminished. It's more efficient to reset the quest (by returning to the lobby with the command <code>/lobby</code>) at this point and repeat it.

While EXP gained in One person mode is a bit lower compared to Normal mode, [[Monster]] [[stats]] are much lower and thus weaker. The EXP loss is minor and for solo players it is therefore recommended to always play in One person mode.

===Towards the Future===
{{Quest link|Towards the Future}} (TTF) is a Episode 1 Quest. It is the most popular quest in the game and colloquially known as a "boss rush." For beginners it's a very easy way to level, as rooms online fill quickly due to the popularity. Many experienced players help out new players in TTF rooms or they want to level their newly created characters too, but already have access to strong gear. Under these circumstances it's usually not too challenging to clear the quest in parties.

====Solo====
For beginners it can be challenging to clear the quest solo, as [[monsters]] and bosses become increasingly stronger in later areas. One way to still level quickly though is to only play the [[Forest]] section of the quest. The quest has fast access to the [[Dragon]] and defeating it repeatedly awards a lot EXP in short time. [[Dragon]] is also the weakest boss in the game and thus can be defeated with beginner gear.

===Tyrell's Ego===
{{Quest link|Tyrell's Ego}} is a Episode 1 quest. It features dense [[monster]] spawns and all Episode 1 bosses similar to [[TTF]]. Unlike TTF though, it takes much longer to clear each area. As [[Forest]] is the easiest area in the game and has a lot dense spawns in this quest, it's good for early game leveling, even for solo player with beginner gear. In this quest, many doors or gates open early even without defeating all monsters in the room. For the sake of leveling, it is recommended to wait for more monsters to appear before advancing through each room.

===CAL's Clock Challenge===
{{Quest link|CAL's Clock Challenge}} (CCC) is a Episode 2 quest. It features dense monster spawns in a small space with a strict time limit. Each wave that is cleared adds to a timer. If the timer runs out, the quest ends. It is recommended to only clear the [[VR Temple]] and [[VR Spaceship]] sections, as further sections are not as rewarding and efficient for experience. 

[[Forces]] especially have an advantage in CCC. By continually casting {{Gifoie}} in the center of the room, many waves can be cleared instantly upon spawn. [[HUnewearl]] and [[RAmarl]] with access to level 20 {{Gifoie}} can also make use of this. [[Rangers]] equipped with {{Unit|rare|V501}} or {{Unit|rare|V502}} and [[ES Weapons]] like {{Gun|es|ES Needle}} and {{Gun|es|ES Shot}}, which have [[Hell]] added as a special, also have an advantage by clearing waves fast in Normal to Very Hard difficulty. For Hunters this quest is more challenging. Even though {{Sword|es|ES Slicer|ES Slicers}} with [[Hell]] can be used, the right positioning to reach all targets is tricky. Wasting just a few seconds with a strict time limit thus makes it rather tough on Hunters. 

Due to the strict time limit, this quest is not very beginner friendly and requires more advanced gear or {{PSO icon|disk}}[[techniques]].

===Warrior's Pride===
{{Quest link|Warrior's Pride}} is a Episode 4 quest. It can only be played in One person mode. Conveniently, 2 NPCs follow the player around while progressing through the quest. The player can stay behind the NPCs to avoid being attacked and use ranged [[weapons]] to defeat the [[enemies]]. {{Resta}} can be used to keep the NPCs alive. For [[Androids]] however this quest is more challenging as the only AoE healing option is using {{Tool|Star Atomizer|Star Atomizers}}. 

[[Satellite Lizard|Satellite Lizards]] and [[Yowie|Yowies]] can only be damaged with melee weapons or {{PSO icon|disk}}[[techniques]], unless the player targets them from behind. Nevertheless, the quest is a good way to solo level characters and feasible for [[Rangers]] and [[Hunters]], as long as the player has the necessary gear to deal with the [[Lizards]]. 

===New Mop-Up Operation 3===
{{Quest link|New Mop-Up Operation 3}} (NMU3) is a Episode 4 quest. Episode 4 [[monsters]] award the highest EXP in the game and this quest features many dense spawns, making it one of the best leveling quests in the game. However, in addition to strong Episode 4 monsters, this quest also includes areas in which a players [[HP]] is rapidly and continually drained. These so called "heat rooms" make it one of the most challenging quests to clear efficiently. [[Forces]] have an advantage due to access to strong {{Resta}} healing abilities and their potential to inflict strong {{Rafoie}} damage, with which many waves of enemies can be defeated in short time. [[Forces]] fully equipped with [[technique]] boosting gear like {{Cane|rare|Psycho Wand}} or {{Shield|rare|Rafoie Merge}} can clear this quest quickly without too much of a challenge, as most Episode 4 monsters are weak to fire techniques. [[FOnewm]] is the strongest solo class for [[NMU3]] due to its innate {{PSO icon|Rafoie}}{{PSO icon|Razonde}}{{PSO icon|Rabarta}}[[Techniques#Hard_techniques|Hard technique]] damage boost.

===Beyond the Horizon===
{{Quest link|Beyond the Horizon}} (BTH) is a Episode 4 quest. With advanced equipment, it is considered to be the best leveling quest in the game. It features a multitude of enemy waves in quick succession in a very small space. The quest takes place in all areas of Episode 4. However, it is recommended to only clear the first two [[Crater]] sections. Accessing the quest costs {{PSO icon|meseta}}[[Meseta]] and the amount depends on difficulty, starting with 10,000 in Normal. [[Forces]] once again have an advantage here, as most enemies from Episode 4 are weak to fire [[techniques]]. Similarly to [[CCC]], {{Gifoie}} can be cast continually in the center of the area to clear enemy waves quickly. [[HUnewearl]] and [[RAmarl]] with access to level 20 {{Gifoie}} can also make use of this.

[[BTH]] is also popular for [[Sealed items|unsealing items]]. The [[Sealed items/Guide]] covers strategies for unsealing. [[Item drops]] are disabled in this quest.

===Maximum Attack===
[[Maximum Attack]] (MA) is a quest category that refers to several quests featuring dense monster spawns throughout a multitude of areas. MA quests are challenging and thus recommended to play in multiplayer mode. However, it's still an option for solo players with advanced gear. 

MA quests are popular for leveling and also item hunting. The MA:E quest series {{Quest link|Maximum Attack E: Episode 1}}, {{Quest link|Maximum Attack E: Gal Da Val}} and {{Quest link|Maximum Attack E: Episode 4}} are frequently played quests which are very efficient for leveling and item hunting.
