Blade & Soul - Quick basic leveling guide for 1-45 by youngENT

After watching the 15 hour leveling guide I made a summary of some key points for getting to level 45 fast. If I missed anything I'm sure someone else will chime in with some insight. Also entire credit goes to Hakurai for an amazing 3 part guide.

• Do all quests and side quests for first zone, do most side quests in viridian coast at this point.
• Don't forget to do all gathering and crafting quests in jadestone. Throughout leveling always be upgrading your craft and gathering profs.
• Skip cinderlands side quests that have you running around, do story up until level 25.
• Use XP soup and grind vultures dig from level 25 to 31 (2 hours)
• Continue story only do kill side quests
• Remember to farm breakthrough weapons or buy them from marketplace
• Quest up to level 40 remember only kill quests are max efficiency.
• To level from 40 to 45 pop a XP soup and grind at misty woods besieged camp try to avoid world bosses (2 hours)
