Level 50–60
At Levels 50-60, grind at Dustiness, Metaller and Mantis in North Prontera for very high EXP returns at very low HPs. You’ll be able to farm very efficiently in this map—you can even stay here until around Level 85!A lot of people will be farming in this area, so just look for a decent spot—these mobs will usually spawn in groups of 3 in certain spots.

Level 60-70
At this range, North Prontera is still a very efficient farming spot. You can start whacking Eggyras in Payon Cave too as they give good Job EXP. Wizards should start aiming for 1-shot Eggyra kills.Physical attacker classes like Lord Knights can go for Minorous in the Pyramids. The Minorous Card is a very valuable item used by MVP hunters. At the time of writing, it costs almost 10 million zeny in the Exchange.

Level 70–80+
Level 70-80 range is where leveling will slow down a bit. But don’t worry, you have lots of options.Dustiness/Metaller still give decent EXP despite the level gap EXP penalty. Other options would be mobs in Glast Heim Culvert and Glast Heim Outskirts.
Since leveling is a bit slow in this ranges anyway, try to pair your EXP farming with zeny/loots farming. Remember, instant kills = more monster kills = faster zeny and loots. Always aim for instant or 2-hit kills over high EXP but slow kills.
