The 500 QB by Level 50 Leveling Guide

Written by Abracadaver for Newbs

Use Sanamar as your starting location or you'll need to do some additional running around to complete your city's Pathwarden Greeter questline.

Character creation recommendations: Missile Weapons (Bow), Two Handed, or Mage (Void or War)

• Missile Weapons (Bow) allows you to easily upgrade damage as you level via Fletching and does high damage early.
• Two Handed Combat's cleave mechanic helps quickly clear dungeons early on without sacrificing defense or stats.
• Mage (War or Void) increases damage as they learn higher spell levels, but scrolls and professor training get expensive quickly.

This guide was tested with a Finesse Lugian, a very sub-optimal build.
 Starting Stats: 10/100/100/100/10/10
 Specialized: None
 Trained: Finesse Weapons, Item Enchantment, Life Magic, Missile Weapons, Melee Defense
 Train Later: Lockpick, Fletching

• Lockpick is essential for this guide, so be sure to pick it up as soon as possible if your build doesn't start with it. You definitely do not want to miss bonus QB just for simply having a skill trained.
• Experiment early and often! Aydra the Redistributor in Arwic sells all gems to raise or lower stats and skills for 1 pyreal, so you can change your build whenever you please.

• Use the Infinite Leaftide Buffer! They give free level 8 buffs that last for 90 minutes, so take advantage if you're looking to skip some of the pain of lower level Asheron's Call content.
