Welcome to the fascinating world of Lineage II Essence on the private server L2Impious! If you are reading this guide, you’ve probably already decided to dive into this adventure. Before continuing, I recommend taking a look at our basic guide on how to get started in Lineage II Essence to familiarize yourself with the essentials. If you’ve already chosen your server (hopefully L2Impious!), race, and class, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start leveling up your first character.

This guide aims to be a helpful resource for those beginning their journey in L2Impious, but keep in mind that the more you play, the less you will need to rely on this kind of guide. Progress in the game will depend on various factors such as the time you invest, the resources you commit, and your previous experience in Lineage II and its versions, including Essence.

Preparing to Start in L2Impious

In Lineage II Essence, especially in L2Impious, several elements will help you gain experience quickly, such as:

• Clan Skills: Make sure to join an active clan that provides experience bonuses and useful skills.
• Boosting Items: Items like Agathion of Joy and various sealed scrolls that temporarily increase your experience.
• Collection Bonuses: Take advantage of available collections to get additional EXP and SP bonuses.

First Steps: Levels 1-64

Your adventure in L2Impious begins in the starting area of your race. The early stages of the game are designed to be player-friendly, with a very useful auto-quest system that allows you to complete quests effortlessly. Accept orders, teleport to the required locations, and complete the assigned tasks, like speaking to NPCs or defeating a group of monsters. Don’t forget to use the Alt+Z shortcut to activate auto-questing.

As you progress, remember to equip the items you’re given, such as your first brooch with stones, talisman bracelets, and the Traveler Agathion, which will significantly enhance your combat capabilities.

Changing Professions and Skills

In L2Impious, just like on the official server, changing professions is simple. You’ll only need to click on the corresponding icon that appears on your screen when you reach levels 20, 40, and 76. My advice is not to learn all available skills right away, but to focus on those that complement your class’s playstyle. Additionally, be mindful of your mana management, as some professions may have difficulties in this area. Professions like Despot and the priests of Shillen and Eva have built-in mana regeneration mechanisms that will be very useful.

Reaching Giran: Levels 35-40

Once you reach level 35, you’ll move to Giran, where High Priest Maximilian will guide you. Follow his instructions to hunt in places like Death Valley, where you’ll reach level 40 and have the opportunity to choose your second profession. At this point, you’ll receive B-grade gear, which will allow you to face stronger monsters with greater efficiency.

Increasing Your Power: Levels 51-64

As you continue leveling up, you’ll receive better armor and weapon sets, as well as items like the Protection Cloak, which increases the experience gained when enhanced. Additionally, during this stage, you can explore new hunting zones like the Plains of Glory and the Cemetery. If you find that progress is slow, joining an active clan will give you additional skills and bonuses to speed up your leveling process.

Additional Ways to Gain Experience

In L2Impious, aside from completing quests and hunting monsters, there are special activities that allow you to gain experience more quickly. One of them is the Battle with Keber, where, in just 10 minutes, you can earn an amount of experience equivalent to an entire hour of gameplay. You can also take advantage of Amazing Time Zones, where your character receives temporary buffs and AoE abilities, making combat much easier.

Exploring Aden: Levels 64-76

Upon reaching the city of Aden, High Priest Orwen will guide you through new quests in places like the Plains of Fury and the Valley of Silence. Here is where the real monster hunting begins, and you’ll be competing with other players to get the most experience. During this time, it’s advisable to optimize your gear, either by upgrading the items you already have or by using additional characters on your account to gather more talismans and stones.

Daily Activities and Dungeons

Starting at level 76, your content options expand even further. You’ll gain access to the Training Dungeon, where, for a small fee in adena, you can face monsters in a special zone without interference from other players. Additionally, starting at this level, you can visit Primeval Island, a PvE-only zone where you can hunt safely and obtain valuable items.

The Path to Level Max

Reaching level 85 marks the beginning of a new stage in your adventure. Orwen’s quests will take you to places like the Dragon Valley and the Cruma Tower, where you will face more powerful enemies and familiarize yourself with the monster clearing system. Once you reach level 85, you will receive your final set of quests before facing the highest challenges the game has to offer.

Reaching level 85 in L2Impious is just the beginning of your true adventure. Along the way, you will have learned the game’s mechanics, optimized your gear, and met other players with whom you will share your experiences. This guide is only a reference; over time, you’ll develop your own style and strategy. Good luck on your journey through the vast world of L2Impious!
