5 tips that will help you level up fast in blade and soul!

Leveling up in Blade and Soul is a relatively straight forward task, however if you're not upgrading your gear on your long journey to level 50, which is the max level in this game, than leveling can get very tedious.

So today i'm going to show you how to level up quickly and efficiently in blade and soul. Some info about myself, I've been playing Blade and Soul since it launched in North America on January 19, 2016 and i've leveled up two characters to max and am now working on a third character.

 Tip#1 Don't forget to upgrade your weapon and accessories
Anyway let's get started. When you first zone into the world of Blade and Soul you'll notice your character starts with no equipment, but as you level up in the game you'll start receiving equipment like your hongmoon weapon, and your hongmoon accessories like your ring, earring, and necklace. Now here is where Blade and Soul is different than other mmos.

Unlike other mmos the epic equipment you get on your journey to 50 stays with you all the way till you hit level 50. The reason is this. Your hongmoon weapon and accessories can be upgraded by feeding them green and blue quality items.

As you do this, your weapon and accessories get stronger and give you more stats and in turn makes it so you are killing mobs faster. This is awesome because the faster your killing mobs the faster you are earning xp and the faster you are leveling up. Win / win situation. So I highly recommend you are constantly evolving your weapon and accessories when you can.

Tip#2 Make sure to equip a soul shield
Now let's talk about your soul shield. In blade and soul we don't get armor like other mmos. We have what is called a soul shield. This soul shield increases important stats like your health power, critical rate, and defensive stats. It's important that you have one equipped as you level up because if you don't have one equipped mobs will be hitting you much harder than they should be.

Tip#3 If you're lost, follow the story line icon
Next tip is if you are lost in blade and soul all you have to do is open up your map and locate the yellow icon. This is the main story line quest for blade and soul and will show you where you need to go next. 

Tip#4 Do heroic dungeons when you can
There are heroic dungeons in Blade and Soul that you can run that drop epic items, most importantly epic soul shields that have much better stats on them than anything you'll find while questing. You can run your first heroic dungeon at level 20. You can access the dungeon screen by pressing F8 on your keyboard.

Tip#5 The Hongmoon Store
Blade and Soul has a cash shop you can access by pressing F10 on your keyboard. This cash shop has some nice items you can get that can increase your experienced gain by 100% and other items that increase your inventory as well. This tip is optional but if you ever need an experience boost, make sure to checkout the hongmoon store.
