Wiki — Getting Started (Level 1–20)

This guide follows the official Lineage II Gracia Final Epilogue early-game flow: where each race starts, what the Newbie Guide does, and what you should focus on before your 1st class transfer at level 20.

Starting villages by race

Human: Talking Island Village
Elf: Elven Village
Dark Elf: Dark Elven Village
Orc: Orc Village
Dwarf: Dwarven Village
Kamael: Isle of Souls (Kamael Village)

Newbie Guide (Newbie Helper)

In every starting area you will find a Newbie Guide. The tutorial is meant to lead you through your first hunting spots and basic systems (skills, shots, and quest direction).

Follow the tutorial prompts for early progression.
Pick up basic hunting quests around your village for steady Adena and EXP.
Keep your skills updated — missing skill levels slows you down more than weak armor.

Recommended progression (1–20)

Level 1–6: hunt very close to your village; learn targeting, shots, and basic skills.
Level 6–15: follow village quests and tutorial guidance; upgrade your weapon when possible.
Level 15–20: move to stronger nearby hunting grounds and prepare for the 1st class transfer quest.

Early gear

Up to level 20 you mainly use No-Grade gear. Avoid over-spending: after the 1st class transfer you transition into D-Grade.

Weapon first (biggest leveling impact).
Then basic armor; jewelry is usually a lower priority early on.

Your next milestone: 1st Class Transfer (Level 20)

You can start most 1st class transfer quests at level 18, but you can only complete the transfer at level 20. Each transfer uses a race/class quest chain (listed on Page 2).
