SoS Walkthrough 1-20+

All calculations were done in Closed Beta Test Nov 9-10.

Start off by talking to the SoS Guardian Angel in the innermost circle.

Monsters

Killing monsters is the quickest way to rack up cash. But, you will need to be smart about your spending.
Use /sit [Pg Dn] often to save on potions.
Get 10 [long branches] to get pinochio's nose (15+hp on regen).
Sell any [novice] -> [lvl 16 anything] that isn't +1 to vendors.
Sell [+1 gear] / [lvl 20+ items] overnight(no actual time wasted standing around).
With doing all the observations and calculations for this walkthrough I still ended up with a lvl 24 mage with 140k kron in an afternoon using this method.
Get used to tracker/recall/warp.
Quest Items you can't find are often the closest substitute for the thing you need.
---Striped Shrooms = Spotted Mushrooms
---Little pumpkins = Squash
---Those kinds of things

I also noticed the same monster may can get stronger if they are in a higher zone, but have nothing to confirm it.

EXP - Monster
8 - Makuri
10 - Poyopoyo
13 - Green Slime
17 - High Jelly (Drops 1/4 pendant)
23 - Pocopoco (Drops 2/4 pendant)
24 - Pink Slime
29 - Purple Slime (Drops 3/4 pendant)
36 - Pocupocu (Drops 4/4 pendant)
125 - Pang An
125 - Cursed Slime
133 - Maestern
145 - Crown Slime
156 - Madderabbi
170 - Robin Fly
275 - Huge Poyopoyo


Dying takes away 7% of your experience. ex. (92%-7%=85% and 02%-7%=95%(-1 level))
You do not get stat points re-leveling.
---Put all your points into strength until you get to your first class change(16)
---Get all the pendant pieces(1/4etc) and take them to Reinmoth(Arcarinas Square) for the quest to change to your first class.
Experience needed to achieve level indicated.

Lvl 20 - 7,025
Lvl 21 - 8,665

Lvl 23 - 12,900
Lvl 24 - 15,660

If anybody wants to add to this walkthrough/thread(especially if you can do it for much higher levels for example), the calculations i used are as follows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one is used to figure out new levels after turning in 1+ quests that you receive certain exp for. The more figures you get the more accurate everything will be.
Which would be something like this
3.5% --- starting exp
5.5% --- 300 exp quest
7.4% --- 300 exp quest

this first one gave 2% and the second gave only 1.9%
300 * (1 / .019) = 15,789 (this would be the highest limit for the lvl's exp)
300 * (1 / .02) = 15,000 (this would be the lowest limit for the lvl's exp)

Another one used to get level exp if you already have certain monster data for another level.

(Known Exp) * (1 / (% for kill) = Total Level Exp
ex. 300 xp quest/kill * (1 / .02) = 300 * 50 = 15000

After you get the lvl exp just kill anything to find the monster exp.
3.5% --- starting exp
4.5% --- fat kid slayed
5.5% --- cheeseburger slayed

(Total level exp) * (kill %) = (monster's exp/kill)
15000 * .01 = 150 exp monster

(Monster/Quest exp) * lvl exp = exp for kill
ex. 2% * 15000 = 300 exp for the quest/kill

will update eventually

/sit (PgDn) recharges your resting HP/MP much quicker.

The red areas on the maps are relatively safe areas.

F12 is hotkeys...use this or die

Refresh your 50 milks at the SoS guide before you lvl to 16.

Hit a few monsters then drag through other players. Monsters will often switch targets and likely kill some unfortunate sprite.

/sell in front of others. When selling things stand in front of other players with like items and block out their text with your window. This works based on other player's camera angles.

Fat person simulation quest - There are two quests where you get letters weighed down and you must run back and forth in the first city and essne. 5k rewards for 5 minutes of "GO FATTY!".
Sorry if I offended the heavy set, go eat a cheeseburger.

[akumaspkplayer]

...you know, i think thats bannable

oh and a shortcut for /sit is pressing the Page Up button

[Trashknight]

You get a bad reputation for unleashing Jumanji, there is no reason to do that.
Excessive use of it makes you a target for a GM-report.

Just stay out of it, or feel the wrath of mny players refusing to join your party.


Quick exp and training in how to play for xenians: Kill only Blue furballs in Waimea Gorge.

Red zones are not 100% safe beyond Mystra Hill. Monsters aggroed may kill you in these spots.

[DragonMan949]

great guide. +1 since it WILL help newcomers, but I have a question. How do you know how much exp a person needs?
><

All my calculations probably have a small margin of error.

These examples aren't with any used numbers, but the same method is what i used.
Ex. 1
130 exp = 2.5%

100/(2.5) = 40

40 * 130 = approx total EXP per level


Ex. 2
1 kill = 2.5% xp
Total exp = 2500

100/2.5 = 40
2500 / 40 = 62.5 exp each

If you were sorry you would not then have said go eat a cheeseburger. It is always easy to be offensive from the safety of your own computer.

[Triysle]

Good job, lysdexian. I recommend you post this at www.solsticeplayer.com ;)

we've got a growing selection of guides and maps, and great community! We'd love to have more people who are willing to write out guides and help people out :D

I wasn't sorry, that's why I added the cheeseburger part.

[gigglesofwisdom]

[Lysdexian]

Besides the making of this walkthrough I also experienced some basic forms of conversation with some of the other solstice'ers.

I know you were not sorry, you are an annoying little kid who has not learned not to be a rude ***. You insult people because it is easy to do from the safety of home. Out in public you are a pansy, but in cyber world you get to say all the things you would never say to someones face. You are a phony.

[Sakabato]

Sorry if I offended the heavy set, go eat a cheeseburger.

Pathetic, you got no guts. If you were in front of me, I wounldn't give a damn and punch you in the face regardless of your age. Who give you the right to judge people.

You used a double negative. "not learned not" :(
Sakabato - pathetic, no guts, deserves a punch, judges people
Rokurgepta - annoying little kid, rude ***, insults, on computer at home, public pansy, phony.
Lysdexian - go eat a cheeseburger

you two obviously win, thank you for your contributions to helping me make this walkthrough.


on another note, if anybody wants to add to this thread(especially if you can do it for much higher levels for example), the calculations i used are as follows. I will update the first posts with credit where it's due.

24 yr old college student who works to pay for everything he does. so sorry, no, no, and shut up fatty. thank you for the threats though...i know how tough you guys have to be to threaten somebody "...from the safety of home.". go bark up another tree, i'm pissing on this one.

I did not threaten you, but i sure hope you are going to be a doctor as this should be year 6 of your college education.
