Alch’s Dragon Nest Leveling Guide [1]
Hello and welcome to this short leveling guide, with a few tips at the end, made by me through experience and such.
You really don’t even need to start grinding yet, just follow the story quest for now until you reach level 9, where you can then leave Mana Ridge/Ironwood Village to Carderock Pass, also welcome to your 1st major town.
_Crystal Stream_
Once you make it into Carderock Pass, well you didn’t even need to go inside there unless you just wanted to.. However, from 9-16 just simply grind VoM/Hard mode (Since they removed the harder difficulties for some unknown reason) until you reach level 16! Then that map is not even needed anymore, head through Carderock Pass to Ashen Ruins!
_Ashen Ruins_
Now you’re sadly on this depressing map.. Ashen Ruins. Walk over to the left for your next dungeon grind – ACL. I don’t know why I haven’t said this yet, but unless you’re a pro, I would reccomend getting a 2nd party member to grind the Master difficulty with you, it’s not hard to find someone either since a lot of people have been resorting to grinding lately. Once you hit level 24, you’re off to the next town, Saint’s Haven
_Port Hemalte_
These dungeons are starting to get a little harder now. D: Make your way to Saint’s Haven, the place filled with people which induces major lag for you with those low spec computers! Head to Port Hemalte and find the Submerge Ruins dungeon and grind it w/ a friend or some random party 😀 (Like I said earlier, it’s not hard to find a grind party now these days.)
Another suggestion at level 24 is the Minotuar Nest which is solo. If you have over 200% exp you’ll easily get 100%+ per run. This is a quicker way than Submerge Ruins so you can use all your runs there. 🙂
This dungeon is probably one of the most shortest dungeons I’ve experienced, but probably because I’m a loli. Anyways, this dungeon is also in Port Hemalte and like I said, is relatively short, so you will find yourself leveling in no-time! Time to leave Saint’s Haven sadly! );
_Livewort Marina_
This dungeon is also pretty short if you’re an op char or w/ a full party. Also, you get greeted into another two depressing maps, Lotus Marsh and Livewort Marina (Liverwort is where you’ll be going to head to Ruined Village) Prepare to fight new and harder monsters!
I’ve been saying this a lot but, this dungeon is also short if you’re an op char or w/ a full party. But seriously, these dungeons are getting shorter for some reason.. shouldn’t it be the other way around? I guess not. Prepare to find some tramp butterfly queen at the end.
_Arendel_
OH ARENDEL IS SO BEAUTIFUL <3. I guess these dungeons are starting to get a little longer. Also, good job, you’re almost there to reaching the cap level! At this point, I’d reccomend running with a higher level to help get you through this (I’m going to explain mentoring at the end ^^). Try to survive for me pls.
Once again, do run with a higher level please, these dungeons are getting harder, and longer aswell now. You’re literally almost there from reaching cap level, you can do it! These last dungeons are going to be like volcano-y type dungeons I guess so be prepared! Why is Arendel such a beautiful map
omfg you’re literally almost there, don’t give up on me! The grind is gonna be real now (also pretty sure you have like 0 pwr by now) Anyways, you’re almost there, my child. Get all the cap levels to help you get through this dungeon as quick-as-possible! .. and then.. BOOM 80!
[Scroll down for 90]
Here’s some tips you might want to follow by while you do dis power leveling.
1. Mentoring
Mentoring is the art of getting some cap-level person to help you with your needs and give you guidance and advice! Some sell power-leveling services which they’d be gladly to do if you give them some $$$. So go find yourself a mentor!
2. Gold
Heh, oh didn’t I learn. Save up that gold, or you’ll end up like me, taking gold from old characters just to get equipment for your new capped character.
3. Equipment
I didn’t include this in the guide, but you should run nests for your level! You get a fair amount of exp for completing them and you get materials needed to craft your level set! The first nest you’ll be able to run is the Minotuar Nest (Which is solo now b/c Nexon is Nexon) Then continue doing the nests needed your level! – I don’t feel like putting all the nests name for each level e.e
*T5 UPDATE* Equipment is given on almost every map, also they have changed it to where certain classes can wear equipment, to all classes can wear equipment (Not all)
4. 200% Exp Scroll, Max Character, Guild Costume Exp
Why did I even put this here? Anyways, I don’t know a lot of people who grinds without this. It’s only 2.9k NX = $2.90, although this sounds a lot. It’ll increase your exp rate TREMENDOUSLY. So buy that from the cash shop!
Also, if you own a character that has already reached cap level, this adds 50% to your exp on both finishing dungeons and monster exp.
1 Char = 50% Bonus Exp
2 Char = 100% Bonus Exp
3 Char = 150% Bonus Exp
4 Char = 200% Bonus Exp
5 Char = 250% Bonus Exp – Cap
This DOES stack with any scroll and does stack with guild costume exp~
Guild Costumes can be purchased if your guild has unlocked the guild costume set.
The price of guild costume has been reduced greatly (100g+ now for the full set)
If you wear the full set, this adds 10% exp.
6. Gobarta
In Carderock & Saint’s Haven there’s the Daredevil Faire In which you can do minigames and such for tickets and EXP. You can do a minigame called “Gobarta” for extreme amounts of EXP – which I reccomend doing when it’s available for your level. This is much faster than grinding.
7. Out of PWR?
– Obtain 3 likes from anybody
– Hot Spring offers PWR on some day of the week.
If you use all of this – you’ll cap in no time!

Alch’s Dragon Nest Leveling Guide [2]
Just some T5 updates that should be posted here. sorry if there’s any inconvience of posting this in another seciton,I just happened to cap the character count for the previous section. Thanks!
80-90: 5 Town
So I’ve asked a few friends, and they happen to all agree that 5 town (if you’re not familiar give me a second) is the fastest way to hit 90 in no time.
5 Town pretty much summed up, is where you receive multiple side quests for 5 dungeons which you run without stopping, at the end of the 5 dungeons, you return to town and complete all side quests given in hopes of a large amounts of exp, and I do think that this method works.
You can grab these side-quests from the Robot i6.
The following dungeons are best for 80-90 5 Town ;
_Heart of Merka_ (at Terminus Gateway or near West Gate leading to Black Mt. Path, Saint’s Haven)
Badlands
Lonely Cradle
Gold Dust Gulch
Zephyr Plains
Triyan’s Domain
if you don’t want to do this you could just grind Zephyr Plains!
If you think something is wrong, or should be corrected, Please leave a comment below because I’d like to keep this guide correct & informational for all.

First Things First!
If you transfered over from Nexon Dragon Nest North America to Eyedentity Games you receive free gifts upon transfering! Once logging in you should check your rewards sections and see the awesome gifts they’ve given out for free! One of the free items being a free permanent costume you get to chooe out of 3! (Krasus, Gold Marching Band, and the Red Flower looking set)
In terms of stat wise the Gold Marching Band is the best, however the visual appearance doesn’t look as pleasing as the others – but that’s just a matter of opinion.
Acronyms relating to 93 cap:
DNP – Dragon Nest Points
EC – Eye Cash (Previously NX)
IDN – Ice Dragon Nest
AWK – Awakening
__
Speaking of which DNP has also been given out (check the rewards section as well). 500 DAILY DNP so make sure you log in, even just for a second to collect your DNP which can be used to buy EC items!
All brances of Warrior, Sorc, and Archer have received their awakenings!
(Next AWKs are most likely going to be Cleric & Tinkerer)
__
90-93!
New dungeons have appeared and you may be wondering what dungeon to start grinding? Well the next dungeon in this case to 90-93 is Red Wasteland. However, if you are playing a class that has received an awakening, it is advised that you stop at around 45% of level 92 to complete your awakening quests as you have approximately 6 dungeons to complete – which you should end up capping at 93 by the time you’re finished!
Thank you Steam user “Cus u suk scrub” for the important information!
