This handbook is for new players entering the L2 H5 world. It will explain how to level up and get gear from the beginning, including where to hunt, which dungeons to explore, important quests, and getting items like Forgotten Scrolls for top skills.
Remember, this guide is for Frintezza Server x1. So, we won't talk about quests or stuff that are not a feature in our server. We'll suggest hunting areas based on your level and gear. But depending on your class and if you play alone or with friends, you might skip some levels and go to higher areas to level up faster.
H5 has lots of PvE and instances, great for groups or teams. Joining a clan is smart. You don't need a top clan to beat everything; medium or PvE-focused clans are cool too. They let you join the big battles and raids.
1. What to do:– Everyone gets a Starter Pack with NG equipment & Monkey Agathion for self-buffs, plus you can do the Newbie guide quest for some extra items, but it's not a must. If you head to Kamael village at level 3 or higher, you can also grab the supply check quest.
– Check out Nevit’s Hourglass. Visit the Priest of Blessing NPC in any town near the Newbie guide or Adventurer’s Guide. Donate some adena to get Nevit’s Voice and Nevit’s Hourglass, which speed up your leveling. You can claim these rewards every 20 hours, but the Hourglass can be claimed at any level range without the 20-hour restriction. Remember to visit the Priest of Blessing at different level ranges: 19-20, 20-39, 40-51, 52-60, 61-75, 76-79, and 80-85. If your main and sub class are in different level ranges, you can claim rewards for both!
– Hunting low-level raids in starting villages can be worthwhile if it's quick. You might find something valuable to sell for adena, and the experience is good too.
2. Where to Hunt:– Stick to hunting grounds in the starting villages.
3. Quests to Consider:For H5, these quests aren't particularly useful since you'll level up too fast with an NG starter pack. However, you can still take them and complete them while leveling up, just in case.
– Lv. 3 – Supply check: Get a wooden set that you can sell for adena.
– Lv. 6 – Head for the hills: Available from the same NPC as the Supply check, rewards adena and NG shots.
– Lv. 10-15 – Each race has a quest that usually gives 13k to 25k adena and some experience.
– Lv. 15 – Get a Pet: Gludin. Handy if you want to level up and evolve your own Wolf.
4. Instances to Consider:There are no recommended instances for this level range, unless you're a Kamael or playing with one. In that case, you can explore Nornil’s Cave and Garden instances and the quest “Into the long Cavern,” which rewards basic NG items. However, it's not a must.
By now, you've left your starting village behind and completed your first class change. Well done!

Congratulations on completing your second class change! Now, it's time to consider purchasing some basic gear to tackle the next instances and hunting zones, aiming for level 76. Leveing up is swift in H5, so managing your adena efficiently becomes crucial. Here are some tips to help:

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! Now, it's time to complete your 3rd class change and focus on acquiring your gear. It's crucial to aim for low S grade weapons, armor, and jewels. In H5, Dynasty items are S grade.
In H5, there are S80 and S84 grade items, some obtainable through crafting and others through drops:
– S grade: Dynasty weapons, armors, and jewels, obtainable from raids, monsters, and crafting.
– S80 grade: Icarus Weapons, Morai Armor, and Morai Jewels, obtainable from raids, monsters, and crafting.
– S84 grade (low): Vesper Weapons, Armors, and Jewels, obtainable from raids, monsters, and crafting. Vesper armor can be upgraded to Noble Vesper Armor.
– S84 grade (mid): Vorpal Armor and Jewels, and "Rare weapons," obtainable from specific instances and raids.
– S84 grade (top): Elegia armor and Jewels, and "Rare weapons," obtainable from challenging instances.
This diversity of items highlights the importance of PvE content in this chronicle, best played with friends or clan mates. You don't need to be in a top-tier clan, but having enough players to tackle instances like Delusion Chamber, Kamaloka, Zaken, Frintezza, and Freya is essential for acquiring high-end items.
Monastery of Silence, Dragon Valley, and Lair of Antharas, along with Seed of Annihilation, offer late-game PvE content where you can obtain up to S84 Vesper items, attribute crystals, and other valuables. Afterwards, you'll likely need a group to conquer the aforementioned instances and acquire top S84 items.
