Sp in the order from best to worst

Group Leves => Group Grind (behest here if it is 8 or less ppl) => Behest (if it is a full one) => Solo leves => Solo grind

Behest can be #2 or #3 depending on how full it is... if it is full you will have a pretty substantial SP loss, if it is not above 8 you will get 150-300 a kill normally.

All in all you will level 2-3xs faster in a group then solo in this game. Quest give no Sp at all so they are not an option for leveling.


A word of advise when level a new character put a decent amount of stats into Vitality especially if you are soloing you can put stuff into other areas when you are comfortable solo. This will almost double your HP pool which will help with your deaths. Another this is avoid big number syndrome. If you are fighting a mob that takes 2mins and gives you 400sp it is more effective to kill mobs that die in 30secs and give 150sp.

I suggest getting an active linkshell (one that does leves and partys together) as soon as possible. Without one of these you will find it very hard to progress in this game since the majority of the community does not party and almost no one uses the party formation tool.
