Leaf Village Leveling Guide (1-60)

Levels 1-10: The Academy Days

Start with the tutorial & quests, then kill larvas, spiders and wolves found just outside the village.

Levels 10-20: Exploring Beyond

Each village has a special location for efficient grinding at early levels. Leaf has a map full of tigers (Takumi Tigers, south of Asoki Port), Sand has scarabs, and Mist has Ants.

Grinding in a group is the most efficient way to level up but each member must be within 9 levels to gain XP and are level capped to monster 10 level apart. However, grinding solo removes those restrictions.

The most efficient grinding location for many is Snakes found at the Abandoned Lair (accessible via Asoki Port area). Farming Snakes can yield around 200-300k XP/hour depending on DZ (Danger Zone) activity and your clear speed.

Once you reach level 10, you will have access to Leaf, Mist, Sand and Takumi Seal Missions. Completing these missions will help you reach level 14. However, you will have to travel a great distance to complete the mission. Refer to the "Seals Guide" tab for locations.

Levels 20-30: Land of Waves Arc

Once you reach level 20, you will gain access to the Land of Waves Arc found at your village mission room. These missions are fairly easy to complete in one sitting and the monsters there give great XP. Completing this questline will give you 3-4 levels, another extra level if there is a World Blessing.

Additional Grinding [Difficult]

These methods of gaining additional XP are very difficult and requires a team to help you farm bosses. These bosses are high value targets for their rewards they drop so always expect enemies lurking.

Note: The objective for the individual that wants to receive XP is to land the final hit on the boss. For this to work, everyone who helped lower the health of the boss must relog to reset the damage logs. This method works only for a single person since being in a team triggers a level cap on which monsters you can gain XP.

Last Hit Bosses [1 hr CD]

• Monkey King - 45k XP [Blessing]
• Dark Weasel - 22k XP

Levels 26-30 (Continued)

After reaching level 25, you are going to have to rely on daily missions and the NPC Given Missions (see General Info tab) to continue leveling up. You can continue grinding XP from bosses or monsters to push you to the next level.

Every 10 levels you get access to a questline similar to the Land of Waves Arc. These questlines typically give around 4 levels when there is a World Blessing.

Levels 30-40: Land of Toads Arc

Once you reach level 30, you will gain access to the Land of Toads Arc found at your village mission room. These mission require more grinding as you will need a certain amount of items for some mission. Completing this questline will give you 3-4 levels, another extra level if there is a World Blessing.

One of the missions requires solving a puzzle, it is best to do it walking or flicker to a teammate until you reach the end. You will lose health every time you take a wrong step. The final tiles are insta-kill so be careful.

Levels 41-50: Bandit Arc

Unlike the previous questline, the Bandit Arc will take place within the Ninja General Map. However you must first accept the questline at your village mission desk. With the recent nerf in XP for this questline, you will gain 2-3 levels with a World Blessing.

Levels 50-60: Second Mastery & Land of Iron Arc

Congratulations, you made it to your second mastery! Once reaching level 50, you will be granted access to the final questline. There is no more NPC Given Missions beyond this point. You will be leveling with your daily missions and questline if you choose to do so.

The infamous Land of Iron Arc! This questline is the hardest questline in terms of time spent and monsters. Many ninjas do not bother to do this questline for these reasons. However, this questline has bosses that drop the best weapons in the game! The leveling to 60 is mostly done with daily missions unless you do this questline.

General Sand Tips

Mist Village Leveling Guide (1-60)

Levels 1-10: Starting Out

Step 1: Mist Village Introductory Quests

Upon spawning in Mist Village, complete the main village introduction quest chain. These will familiarize you with the map and village layout, and get you to around level 4.

Step 2: Stat Allocation

Dump all your stat points into Agility (AGI). This boosts your basic attack speed, which is ideal for early grinding.

Step 3: Fox Grinding

Grind Mist Foxes near the village until you hit level 10. Be efficient: attack, retreat, and repeat. AGI builds can farm mobs quickly with melee or basic tool spam.

Levels 10-20: The Seal Quests & Takumi Storyline

Step 1: Choose Your Mastery

At level 10, select your preferred elemental mastery at the village's skill trainer: Taijutsu, Ninjutsu (Water, Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth), Weaponmaster or Medical.

Step 2: Complete the Seal Quests (10-13+)

All of these give high EXP and are travel-oriented. Refer to the "Seals Guide" tab for locations.

• Mist Village Seals
• Leaf Village Seals
• Sand Village Seals
• Takumii Village Seals

These quests involve traveling and unsealing different statues. Be careful of hostile zones, especially outside of Mist.

Step 3: Yuu Questline in Takumii (13-15+)

Head to Takumii Village and start the Yuu Story Questline by interacting with the door inside the cave north of Takumii. This involves helping a mysterious character named Yuu with her missions.

Step 4: Benkei's Tools Questline (15-16)

Still in Takumii, begin Benkei's Tools Questline.

Step 5: Tanzaku Mobsters (16-18+)

Go to Tanzaku Quarters west of Leaf Village and start Tanzaku Mobsters questline in Tanzaku Quarters.

Step 6: Grind or Do Dailies to 20

You'll likely be level 18-19 now. Either grind more mobsters, desert bandits, or do daily missions (available from your village or neutral zones). Dailies like bounty hunting, patrols, or delivery missions scale with your level and give good EXP.

Levels 20-30: Arc Quests Begin

Step 1: Mist Arc 20 Questline (Starts at 20)

Head to the Admin Building in Mist Village and begin the Arc 20 Main Storyline. This involves combat missions, story NPCs, and traveling. By completing this arc, you should reach level 25–26.

Remember to turn in quests during EXP blessings. This arc contains some of the most rewarding quests so far.

Step 2: Grind & Dailies (26-30)

Now that Arc 20 is complete, your options are:

• Daily Quests: Consistent EXP, especially when blessed.
• Grind Spots:
  • Arc 20 Train (Great for both single target and AOE)
  • Tanzaku Mobsters
  • Snakes in Abandoned Lair (Great for AOE farming)
  • Hornets west of Asoki

Try to team up for faster grinding.

Levels 30-40: Land of Toads Arc & Mid-Game

At level 30, the Land of Toads Arc 30 Questline unlocks in your village mission room. This continues the main storyline and will provide significant experience. Expect more difficult mobs, boss fights, and multi-step objectives.

Supplement the Arc quests with Daily Missions. Refer to the "General Info" tab for NPC Given Missions like "Haji's Sword" or "Demon Claws" if you are in those level ranges and areas.

Levels 40-50: Bandit Arc & Advanced Challenges

The Bandit Arc Level 40 will be your primary focus. These quests often involve more complex mechanics and tougher enemies.

Continue doing Daily Missions. High-level grinding spots might include deeper sea areas, hidden caves, or specific islands. Grouping up for these can be very beneficial.

Consider tackling world bosses or more challenging NPC missions like "Revenge on Kuraken" or "Gobori's Odd Request" if you haven't already and are appropriately geared/teamed.

Levels 50-60: Path to Mastery & Land of Iron Arc

Upon reaching level 50, you'll unlock your second mastery slot. This is a significant power boost!

The Land of Iron Arc will be the main questline. This will be challenging and may require a good team or strong build.

Daily missions remain a crucial source of EXP. High-level grinding will be necessary to bridge any gaps. Look for elite mobs or areas specific to Mist's endgame content.
