So you can have around these stats for lvl 85:




Keep in mind these stats could be wary and nowhere near good. To get better stats you need better equip, make your set enhanced via Set bonuses, getting tattoo will also help.
Those stats are enough to farm strong opponents such as Bandit’s Crossroads (which are 95lvls).
If you have these stats you can also go to Land of Chaos to farm a little bit faster. (same lvl 95)


You can stay in Land of Chaos to farm more resources or go to Astatin headquarters to farm more adena when you get more stats and levels.


At this point you will have to perform rebirth to start from lvl 1 and raise your level cap to 100.

After you get to lvl 100 there are a key thing you need to accomplish:

1. You need to get all the skills that you have to the maximum available level.
   
   
2. Go to Boss rush. (please check instances guide link)
   
   
3. You would need to find new equipment either opt for Kadeira or Idios/Aidios.
   In order to opt for Kadeira there are few options:
   1) You can complete Instances with a chance of dropping boxes with equipment
   2) You can buy equipment from other players

In order to opt for Aidios/Idios here are your options:
1) You can complete stronger instances
2) Go to Locations where you can drop them: Alt+B -* helpful links -* drop/spoil base
Then on that site search for those options: you need to click this button to see more details on where to drop those items.
Magic armor Idios/Aidios: location to search :Giants Cave low parts
“Диадема Айдиоса - Магический” -Magic Helm
“Туника Айдиоса - Магический” -Magic Chest
“Штаны Айдиоса - Магический” -Magic Pants
“Перчатки Айдиоса - Магический” -Magic Gloves
“Ботинки Айдиоса - Магический” -Magic Boots
“Символ Айдиоса” -Magic sigil
3) You can buy equipment from other players

Once you found some equipment or decided to move on for now you need to choose 3rd class:
After lvl 100 and gaining the skill mystic Defense from my own class my power skyrocketed to this:

Later you would need to aim for a Tyr Maestro OR Try to get Wynn as he will give you so needed summon to help you defeat some of harder instances.

Will be updated later for other rebirths.
