===============================
After the laborious task of crunching numbers, I have finally finished. This guide will explain quests that will get you up in levels quickly. The guide will list links to the quests on hidden street, and I will give my recommendation (based on the reward, difficulty of quest, and pre-quests required). I will give a percent of exp it gives for the level you can do it at, and if a certain class is needed to do it. Ill also note any special requirements for the quest (like a pet, or ITCG items). I will do quests available to all genres of classes (Hero, Cygnus, Explorer might do these later), but I will mainly focus on Explorer. There may be repeats of quests until they no longer become a good source of exp, which I determined is 10% or more. Also, all quests would assume you have all mesos needed to buy anything during the quest.
= my recommendation (more = better, out of 3)
1 means 10% or more exp with impossible effort, or 10% - 20% exp with excessive effort
2 means 50% or more exp with impossible effort, 20% - 50% exp with excessive effort, or 10% - 20% exp with moderate effort
3 means 50% or more exp with excessive or less effort, 20% - 50% exp with moderate or less effort, or 10% - 20% exp with minimal effort
(Travel) means a lot of traveling, 10 minutes or more, assuming you collect your own items
(Pet) means you need a pet to do the quest
(Items) means excessive need of items, or a need of a few rare items
This was the effort of 3 days of meticulous number crunching (with the help of some programming), about two weeks of begging to basil to allow the character count needed for it, and a revival of the guide after a computer dump =/
. I would enjoy ANY comments you have on the guide, ways to improve, critical and creative constructive criticism, corrections to errors, or more information on the articles included within, So PLEASE post or PM me with any of the aforementioned material (PM is more effective). If I use any of your info or suggestions, I will greatly appreciate it and forever immortalize you in my special thanks list. See Notes for particularly sketchy points.
1: The large pearl/sea firefly, info on hidden street may not be accurate, I think you can start this quest at lv 25, need more to confirm
2. over leveling, if you get 1000% in a quest, with you level 10 times or 1 time + 99%?
3. Should I go down to 5% given in the higher level (45 or 50+) quests to expand the list and increase usefulness?
