《Lineage: Classic》 recaptured the original excitement and brought countless veterans back while welcoming new players. For adventurers entering the world of Aden for the first time, it is essential to learn quickly, choose a suitable class, and find an efficient early leveling route. This beginner’s guide covers the full progression guide from character creation through level 30, including its Survival.

I. Features of the four classes and a character-creation guide: choose the right class and avoid unnecessary detours

In “Lineage: Classic,” creating a character is the first step of your adventure. The four classic classes currently available each have their strengths, so choose one and allocate stats according to your play style.

1. Royal – Leader of the blood pledge

  • Features: The only class able to found a “blood pledge,” and the core of sieges and community.
  • Role: The team leader. Although weaker than the Knight in solo combat, this class has powerful team buffs and leadership abilities.
  • Recommended players: For players who enjoy socializing, have leadership qualities, and aspire to rule Aden Castle.

2. Knight - Melee tank and damage dealer

  • Features: Known for physical attacks and high defense, they are the vanguard on the battlefield.
  • Role: Tank and melee damage dealer. The controls are relatively intuitive, and the Survival rate is high.
  • Recommended players: The top choice for beginners who like charging into battle and want impactful combat with a large health buffer.

3. Elf  - Ranged specialization and elemental magic

  • Features: Specializes in ranged attacks with bows and can learn the four elemental spirit magics of earth, water, fire, and wind.
  • Role: Ranged damage and support. Kiting lets you defeat monsters without taking damage, making this an excellent early way to earn money and level efficiently.
  • Recommended players: For players who enjoy ranged attacks, agile positioning, and self-sufficiency.

4.  Mage  - The key to turning the tide of battle

  • Features: Wields powerful destructive magic and has healing abilities. Although HP is low and leveling is difficult early on, the class has tremendous burst damage later.
  • Role: Magic damage dealer, healer.
  • Recommended players: High-level players willing to get through a painful early phase for devastating late-game damage.

II. Beginner’s essential: Use “Talking Scrolls” to travel quickly

Many beginners tend to overlook the god-tier items in their inventory——“Scroll of Talking”. This is the strongest benefit the official team gives new characters, so be sure to make good use of it before it expires.

  • Feature: Unlimited teleportation to beginner areas and leveling spots in the Aden world.
  • Advantages：
    • Save time: No more running around to complete quests or find monsters—go straight there with one tap.
    • Retreat safely: When facing frenzied or powerful monsters, this can be used as a free “return scroll.”
    • Save money: Early-game teleportation fees are a burden for beginners; this scroll is completely free.
  • Note: This is a “limited-time item” that will be deleted automatically when it expires. We recommend using it freely during the beginner phase to explore the map.

Three. Basic Controls: Combat and the key to Survival

Learning the controls is essential for survival. Here are the key controls for the PC version:

  1. Movement and attacks: Click the left mouse button to move. When the cursor over a monster changes to a sword or arrow icon, click to attack.
    • Advanced tip: Hold down the left mouse button and drag outside the screen to enable “continuous auto-attacks,” reducing the strain on your fingers.
  2. Cast buffs: For self-cast support magic (such as Green Potion and Haste), simply press the hotkey twice in succession to activate it; no target selection is needed.
  3. Magic attacks: Select an attack spell (or use a hotkey), then click a monster target to cast it. Mages should pay special attention to managing mana (MP).

IV. Ultra-fast leveling route map for level 1-30 and above

Do not want to get lost in the wilderness or killed by monsters? Follow this map to improve efficiency by 200%.

[Stage One] LV 1 to LV 5: Warm up in the training-dummy area

  • Location: The beginner village’s training-dummy area (you can teleport there with a Talking Scroll).
  • Goal: Attack the “Training Dummy” until level 5. This is the safest and essential way to learn the attack rhythm.

[Stage Two] LV 5 to LV 20: The trials of Talking Island

  • Prepare your equipment: Mages should visit Giran’s House (NPC Matthew) before LV 4 to buy basic spellbooks.
  • Recommended hunting grounds：
    • Talking Island (North Island): Werewolves and Orc Fighters appear here. Monsters have low health and respawn quickly, so Elves can easily move around and shoot.
    • Talking Island Dungeon, floor 1: Use a scroll to teleport, suitable for melee classes that want to find monsters quickly.
    • Temple of Justice: Suitable for players who want to take on somewhat stronger monsters, such as Shalober.

[Stage Three] LV 20 to LV 30: Head to the Aden Continent

At this stage, you will start encountering aggressive monsters, so make sure to bring enough potions.

  • Recommended hunting grounds：
    • Ruins of Despair: Commonly called the “Fatty Zone” or “Skeleton Zone.” Monsters are densely packed, making it ideal for party leveling or area clears, with good experience and drop rates.
    • Temple of Evil: The Orcs’ stronghold. Beware of the Orcs’ “mutual aid” trait: attacking one will draw a group. The risk is high, but so are the experience points, making it suitable for Knights with higher defense.
    • Windwood Desert: Head 3 o’clock from Windawood Village. Evil Lizards and other monsters that cast paralysis magic appear here. It is dangerous, but the rewards are plentiful.

[Stage Four] Level 30 and above: Challenge high-level dungeons

  • Recommended hunting grounds：
    • Giran Dungeon (Giran Prison): Floors 1 through 7. This classic loot-farming area may contain Death Knight, Kaspar, and other BOSS, making it a milestone in moving beyond the beginner stage.
    • Dragon Nest: A high-difficulty area inhabited by powerful monsters such as Drakes and Black Elders. It is recommended to go in a party; solo play requires very strong gear.
