Leveling Guide - Jade Dynasty Wiki

Sunstream is where all players start their journey. You'll have your first set of armor and weapons here, as well as your first esper and pet! When you reach level 15, Tanis Ka will guide you along the way to the selection of a faction.

If you are playing an Athan such as an Arden or Balo character, the quests progress in a very similar way, except with the NPCs and monsters found in the Divine Realm.

For a rookie in Jade Dynasty, it can be hard to figure out how to level up: Grinding doesn't give much EXP, and it's a long way to Ascended LV150. This guide will list a few of the ways characters under Level 45 can painlessly get EXP.

Level 1

NOTE: Currently, all characters under level 30 have a 12-letter chat limit and a six second waiting period before sending chat message. However, this DOES NOT affect Friend chat. If you have anyone you know in game such as a friend or Inductor, you can add them to your friend list by right clicking their name on chat window, and then clicking add. This puts them on your friend list (accessible by pressing F). You can choose to chat with them with less of a chat limit on a separate window, see when they're online, and more.

First, press B to open your Bag and right-click on the Treasure Chest to obtain a nice weapon and a whole lot of potions. Equip one of the weapons by right-clicking on it. To make life a little easier, press Q to open up Quest Log. On the left bottom corner of the Quest log window, check Track All. By doing this, all your quests show up on a little window, making it easier to access what quests you are doing and so on.

Step forward and talk to Tanis Ka and he will give you a quest to talk to Guard Suntu. This is your first Mandatory quest, and quests of this color will take you through the story of Jade Dynasty, and as such, mainly send you to talk to NPCs and kill monsters for them. Follow where the quest tells you to go by clicking on the green text in the quest log or on the tracker window, and you'll see a bunch of wood piles. Your quest tells you to kill 5 of these. To attack, click on the wood pile and click on the attack icon or press 1 on your skill bar. You can use Heavy Blow skill on your skill bar can kill these in less hits. Turn in the quest to Guard Suntu once you're done.

Levels 2 to 5

Speak to Tailor Swaha to get the next Mandatory quest. Talk to the Physician nearby and you receive a quest to get 5 Boar Hide and 5 Wolf Bone. This can be completed by killing 5 Mountain Boars and 5 Wild Wolves. When you are done, turn this quest in to Physician Swarga and he'll give you a Celemiracle Dew, which can instantly restore your HP to full depending on how much HP is left on the Battery. Talk to Guard Suntu again and will tell you to go to the Enchanter, who will give you your first Esper. Equip it and notice that the Esper interface appears. The top bar will gradually fill with red, and when it is halfway, you can click on the "Invigorate" button on the left side to cause your character to fight for you!

At level 5, you can open your Treasure Chest again for a pair of boots and a hat, which are better than the ones you got from the quest at level 1. Make sure you equip them.

Levels 6 to 10

Continue following the Mandatory quests by talking to the Enchanter again. He will send you to Waiter Huu who will tell you to talk to Fisherman Younge. After talking to him, he will teleport you to Hades Sea, where you are supposed to get an unknown fish net. Depending on your computer system, you may need to drop all of your graphical settings to minimum in order to complete this section.

Once in the Hades Sea, cross the bridge, and then go through the left pathway. At the end, click at the fish net to complete the first part of the quest. Now we have to go through the flying swords to get to the NPC: Jadeon Disciple Colde, who is moving around in a circle. As you navigate your way to him, be careful of the flying swords. If you get hit by them, you'll get damaged as well as be paralyzed for 8 seconds. After talking to the Jadeon disciple, you'll be teleported back. Speak to the fisherman, and you should get enough experience to level up to level 7.

Speak to the fisherman again to start another quest which involves catching a Moy Fish. You'll get a fishnet in your bag. Click on the fish net, and drag to the skill bar. Then, target the fish in the water and use the fishnet from your skill bar to turn the fish into a Moy Fish. Kill it, and then go back to Waiter Huu. Interact with the Cooking Morry and accept both quests, which is timed. Basically, you will be collecting ingredients which are very nearby to cook. Click on the item needed to collect it. Then, wait for the Cooking Morry to show an orange flag, signifying that you can turn it in. Repeat this until you are all done, and then turn in the quest to Waiter Huu to finish quest.

Starting at Level 10, you can get the best kind of experience: free experience. Hit "N" to open your class window. Click "Get EXP" down at the bottom of the window to get free experience. You can make your own contribution to this experience pool by doing the daily class quest.

At this point, you can also open the Treasure Chest again and receive your first pet! Talk to Pet Tamer Ellan in Sunstream to Tame this pet, and then equip it. You can see your pet by pressing the "P" key. Drag the Pearl Grape you got from the Treasure Chest into the small box on the bottom of the Pet Roster, and your pet will automatically be fed whenever it is injured or hungry.

Summon your pet by using the small button on the left side of your action bar, or by selecting it in the Pet Roster and clicking the Summon button. Your pet can help you in combat, and will gain levels alongside you. See the Pets page for more information.

Levels 11 to 15

At this point, your mandatory quests will tell you to visit Kouros in Grasstemple Village (located northwest of Sunstream), where you will fight Wandering Wraiths and Moaning Harpies. Afterwards, go to Zaxin where he requires you to collect certain items. Make sure to have extra bag spaces as you'll need them to get quest items. Go to quest log, and click on the mandatory quest to see green highlighted words in the description. By clicking on that, you'll be able to auto-route to where you are supposed to be. Return to Zaxin and he'll ask you to catch some mice. You'll get a rat trap item to help you do that. Find the mice which are nearby, and right click on the rat trap to catch the mice.

After turning that in, you'll be sent to Shepherd Master Wang who will give you a quest to collect wool from the sheep right behind him. Talk to him again and he'll send you to the looms to turn the wool into real wool. Go to Wool Dealer Kingberry, click wool trade, and then exchange the wool for a silver coin, which you will turn in to Shepherd Master Wang. Run or teleport back to Sunstream to speak to Faji. After a few chats with him, he'll tell you to go to Tanis Ka, who will assign you a quest to kill a Vim Wraith Lord. Be careful, as there is another boss in the same area.

When you turn this quest in, congratulations, you're now level 15! Talk to Tanis Ka and he will tell you how to choose your Faction!

Levels 16+

After completing Sunstream JD Plot quests, you have to accept the quests for the next chapter of JD Plot by opening Quest window and clicking on the JD Plot tab. From there, you should see that you can now do the Jadeon mandatory quests. To start the quest line, click on Jadeon, go to the first quest of that storyline, and then click accept task to begin. Each section of the plot quests is linked to one of the major zones, and is divided into a number of chapters. At the end of each chapter, you'll get an experience boost; at lower levels, you'll also get key items like a basic Esper.

If you can find a master to disciple yourself to, or someone willing to power-level you, you can level up extremely quickly.

After you reach Level 30, you'll start getting Wonderland Fair tickets. The games at the Wonderland Fair will each reward you with 30 Taichi Pills, which will automatically be converted into experience.

If you’re going to be away from your computer for a few hours, you can get experience from the Dispatcher quests. Each zone has a dispatcher, and most of their quests involve killing a number of monsters. They aren't very time-efficient for the amount of experience you get, but you'll also get plenty of item drops. You can run to where the monsters spawn, activate your Esper to automatically attack enemies, and come back with the quest ready to be turned in.
