Under Construction 1May09 by ElLocoKnight When I am finished, this article will be posted in the STRATEGY GUIDE.
As I am level 113, and the last level before the commanders turn into a blue name. I decided to write this piece to help others level faster and avoid the pitfalls like I did. Remember as always, that BE FLEXIBLE. For the Month of April, the rules of the combat party changed every week. Example, this week I could only join within 10 levels, whereas last week I joined someone from 11 levels. So stay sharp and be ready for changes, if need be.
Entrance to the TombAt the Entrance is . If you click on him, you can ENTER or check the CONDITION OF THE TOMB. Basically, just think of the line as a gas gauge. When it is full, that is good for you. When it gets lower that is bad for you. When the line goes down, you can hit less damage and the mobs hit for more damage.
The entrance fee and the condition of the Tomb, is set by the owner of the Tomb. When I was level 90 TK, and the line was all the way down, i dare not enter. But then at level 112, it did not matter too much. My defense was high enough and I hit for about 30% less. But I was alone and leveling.
Entering the Tomb
When you enter and follow the passageway down, you will encounter a room full of Screaming Zombies. If you notice, the Zombies stay in the room. What you do, is to lure one into the long, hallway to fight. Others may be around, but if you lure the Zombie, the Zombie will aggro on you. Then beware as if your hit points go down you can either retreat or hug the wall. Remember, when your hp gets LOW, try to retreat early enough before all your hit points are gone. Also, if you find the Zombie is hurting you badly, then when he first hits you, click a large heal potion AHEAD of time. Most people wait, till they are half way down on hit points before they click the hp potion. Do this ahead of time.
The trick is if you had READ this guide and SAVED your xpb and maybe bought some PBIs on the way, you can level really fast on the Zombies. At L49, TK, with max armor, pots, and weapon, I killed four zombies to level. What a day!! This is the only quirk in the game, where you can level really fast. I find most people will use the xpb on the mobs after they leave the Prokion Temple, but there is NO MOB outside the Tomb, where you can level this fast.
Leveling on L 109 CommandersWhen you get high enough to start leveling on the Commanders, this will be the highest mob in the Tomb.
To get to the commanders is easy. Just follow the hallway down and always keep the wall to your right and you will run right into them. Make sure you have like 200 potions of escape when you first go there. The reason is the Archers will hit you with Dark Arrow as you run to the Commanders location. Once you make the trip a couple of times, It is easy to get there.
As always, try to get in a combat party. If not then a solo party. When I reached L112, I found that I was now getting 159 mill and needed a combat party. The combat party still gave me from 245 mill to 307 mill. I found that when my solo party was 265 mill that in a combat it never went lower then that. So too with the level 113 solo party, some of the scores were around the 250 mill mark from those that I noticed. But again, it was a lot faster to level with a combat party.
At level 113 and level 114, the Commander is still green. At level 113, in a solo party, I was getting at .11%, then at level 114 I was getting .09%. So i shall be off to see what i can level on. I tried the sorcerers, like someone said, but they were on .02. I will have to look in the guide and try the mobs above the Commander. But suffice to say, leveling on the Commanders is still good. The trick is you MUST have a combat party.
I will have to check the level points also. So if the level points say from level 111 and level 115 are the same, then I would level on the commanders as I would get the same xp points, but only if I am in a Combat Party. But I wll have to check the points from levels to level 120. Again, probably the commanders may be good up to Level 120, but again, it must be a combat party. The thing that changes with each level is that in a Solo Party, you would get less xp and sp for each level gained now.
At the main commander spot are 3 spots with 2 commanders for each spot. There is one spot by the stairs and then the other 2 spots are on the other side of the wall. Then when the big monster is, Darkmind Terrain, you can go down that hallway and there is the Commander;s Room with about 6-8 commanders there. Depends on the patch, I figure as for the total in there. Just take note that every server may not have the same number of mobs. Again, when i was sp farming in the Prokion Temple, one server would have more of a mob in certain places then the other server.
You will find the Greedy obnoxious people who may come and PK you to take over the spot. Hea, it is legal now. What i did one time was kept on coming back and back again. Remember , if someone PKs you and kill you, you do not lose xp or sp. Then when you resurrect or rez again, the person will still have the skull and crossbones on him and again, attack him. You will lose nothing. Yea, some people think they own the game. Like I told one jerk. Come to my world in real life and you would never PK anyone again. LOL Most I find are kids that play for a week and think they own the game. But just get on a non PvP server.
Making Level 114 and what's next
This is the stats for the following mobs. Remember, with xpb and pbi, you get .09% with Commander, so you can figure out rest. Now with xpb and PBI, just multiply by 4 and you can see the difference.

At level 118, I left the Commanders, finally, and started levelling on the Sorcerers in the Spirit Cave. Where are they located?? Again, when you enter Spirit Cave in Strayana, just keep the wall to your right and you will get to them. The first big room in the cave will have Sorcerers and then on the other side, far right side is a tunnel, that leads to another big cave room with more sorcerers. I started out at the tunnel leveling on the sorcerers there.
If you level on the sorcerers change your pet's skills. Set the magic defense to maximum now. Then whatever points you have you might use then on offensive now. You will be needing lots of level 12 magic defense scrolls too. Now do not CHAT with people as you will find out. You have to be on your toes here. Having lots of Large healing pots and candy will help also.
How to Level on Commanders
There are a few ways to level on the Commanders. REMEMBER, xp discussed below, is if you have xpb and pbi on now.
1. Getting in a Combat Party is the best way, but the hardest as you will find out. Sometimes hard to get someone within the 10 levels required for a combat party. But you can party with someone there. Then you can always have someone get in a combat party with you and stay in the radar, by whatever means. Just remember to know who the GS are. If they see you wall hugging they will ask the person to get off the wall. Actually, the only time I was in a party, a GS came by. I think someone did not like the person, because only that person was targeted. So it can happen, but in the months there leveling that was the only incident of a GS coming by while I leveled on the commanders and that was a LOOONNG time leveling there too.
Some other tips. If you get someone to be in your combat party so you can get the combat points, and if they have a It-chi or Scrat-chi, tell them to have it out. While you are fighting and every kill you make will level these pets. They get there leveling from mob kills like you level the same way.
If it is possible to get more people in the combat party, then you know the more people in the combat party, the higher level of xp you can get. This is an example, with the xp points made up now but to show you the point. If you have 2 people in the combat party, then the highest xp you may get from a Commander (with xpb and pbi now) may be 251 mill. The xp will go up and down but the highest is 251 mill. With 6 people in party, the xp may get like 312xp for a kill. Never been in a 8 man party but it would be higher.
2. You get in a Equal Solo party and below level 109, the points were 241 mill xp. This is constant now. And again not too bad. Once, you pass level 109, your xp points will start dropping. Example too is at L109 you got 12% a kill, then at L110 it may be 11% a kill, and each level the % goes down.
3. Here is my favorite way. There is no ban on power leveling now. If there were, then no people would be playing LC. But there is a trick to this. PROBLEM is that you must have ap or means to buy a recall scroll or Summon Books from the Item Mall.
What you do is to power level people from level 30 on down. You start Power leveling higher, then your xp starts to drop too.
First, find a person to power level and get them in a equal party. Then you go to the Commanders and find a spot IF you can. Some days, there is no spots and you have to go to another server. Once you find a spot to play, you go ahead and take it. When you play, you may see other players hugging the wall now. So look around and see a good spot to teleport your player to that a mob will not hit them. Before you teleport your player, tell them ahead of time NOT TO MOVE or HELP YOU. Yea, you will see newbies try to help you, lol. And some are curious and want to look around. If you have a recall, if they die you will have to stop and recall them back. Tell them this, and that if they move and die you will not recall them back now.
If you find a spot in the Commander's Room, that is the best. When you enter the room, take a left, and the 2d section down is the space where no Commanders spawn. So you can put a person in this space now. Now once or twice a month, for some unknown reason, a Commander would stray by. I told the people to stay in the middle close to the edge. You move too close to a commander and they would AGGRO or you would attract them to you. Again, tell the people that ahead of time.
This method will give you combat points now while you are power leveling a person now. Also, watch it because some people want to power level to 20 then back to solo party now. FYI, it takes about 2 hours with person using pbi for you to level them to level 31 now, so they can get new armor and weapons. But again, getting the level 30x armor and L33 weapon is an event and no telling when they will eventually close it. As of October 2009, it was still going on after 2 months. But nice way to attract people too, I think.
4. Now I was told by someone else, that the mobs in the tower would bring higher xp and easier to kill then in the tomb. Unfortunately, I skipped the Eghea Tower (Lustrum Tower), the reason being is that there was NO WAY, that a L49 TK could survive the first level. I was higher up in Caraie and barely managed to kill on the first level but I was way higher up too. But again, every patch brings new things out that are never published and I am always open to ideas or the changes that may occur.
