This has been enough lounging about. I've been lying here longer than I should. I can get really lost in my own head when it comes to information about Libertas. I lean my body up and notice a beacon of light coming from the center of Nettleton. Looks like the little group repaired the teleportation gate. I'll be using that myself once I'm done here. I fully stand up and roll my neck. It's time to go to the most boring and monotonous part of any game. Grinding. There are some out there who love grinding, and I can see why.

However, there is such a thing as too much of a grind. Libertas does its best to limit the monotony of the grind, but it's still there. I start walking towards the area where I'll be killing monsters. I'll have to limit how much I take on at a single time. I can only cast Dark Spear 5 times, and that's my cheapest mana attack. It'll kill anything in the area with one hit, and as I level up, I'll get more mana. It won't be anything too significant. 100 mana a level is really high for any other class, but the mana demands for Darkness Incarnate aren't something to joke around about.

Once I'm at level 5, I'll have a total of 1500 mana and add Grants ring to that, and I'll have an even 2000. That'll allow me some wiggle room for a little while as I level up my skills and player level. Demands will get higher for my attacks and defense. I'll have a new attack added once I reach level 10. Staying ahead of the mana demand is going to be my biggest priority. This means that mana regeneration and gear focused on mana are going to be my top priority. I have a long road ahead of me, but I know all the right steps to take in regards to leveling.

I make it to the area that has monsters to farm after a 30-minute walk. They haven't noticed me yet since I'm still a good distance away, but I can see them. From the looks of them, none are above level 3, which works out fine for me. I need to be careful and not bite off more than I can chew. Once I become level 2, I'll gain the skill Scan. It'll allow me to scan players, NPC's, monsters for health and names, and items and gear. That's all it can be used for. I summon 2 Black Spears floating at my side and begin my attacks. I do this smart and the right way.

I leave when I need to so I can regenerate mana, and I run when a Rare monster comes along cause they're too strong for me to fight right now. I spend the next several hours doing this, and I finally hit level 5. Black spear is 5 EXP from leveling up too. My health is at 150, and my mana is at 1500 hundred. I take a seat in the large forest area that has monster bodies scattered all over it in little groups. You can see the specific times I attacked and retreated. This was the best way for me to level up and make progress.

That only leaves one thing left. Time to head to the Dungeon and clear it. Grants Ring will be an invaluable piece of Rare grade gear. It'll serve me until I'm at least level 25, and that's going to take a while to get to. It may have been fast getting to level 5, but that's only because I know what I'm going. It'll get progressively longer, and it'll be at a steady pace. It'll take twice as long to get to level 50 as it did to get to level 25, and it'll follow this pattern. Level 75 will take twice as long as getting to level 50. The best way to level up is to clear dungeons and raids.

Raids are an entirely different thing I'll go into at another time. For now, I need to make my way to Grants Dungeon and clear it. Once it's cleared, it'll be added to my Lore tab, and it'll be added to the World Lore Tab. Players will be able to see that potential drops from the dungeon, but that's only if they search it up themselves or come across it while browsing. All this is still 2 weeks from now. So it's not going to happen immediately.
