The Perma Beginner Beginning

Your dice roll should be similar to that of a warrior. That means Str: X Dex: X Int: 4 Luk:4/5
Your first ten levels should be similar to those of a warrior. Add 3 points to strength and two to dexterity. [However, you do have a lot of free room to do whatever. It's perfectly fine to put all your stats into LUK, or even INT, though I don't reccomend it. INT gives you mp, and you never use mp. LUK will not give you any attack. Come to think of it, you could put all stats into DEX, so that you'd have better accuracy than anyone!] Complete Maria's quest to earn your hat and around level 10, complete Biggs' quest to get a better weapon. This is where the two "types" of Perma Beginners forms.

If you want, you can stay on Maple Island and train on an assortment of snails and mushrooms. Or, if you would rather go to Victoria Island, talk to Shanks around level 15 and leave. Staying on Maple Island makes it very hard to train, but around level 20, you should be able to kill Orange Mushrooms in one hit. If you can stick it out and train on those for the rest of your character's life, you will become one of the strongest characters ever on Maple Island.
Note:Part of being a supernoob is having style and being unique and different. If having a ordinary sword looks cooler than a better one, use it!

Training for Perma Beginners

Those who want to train in Victoria Island should loosely follow the training pattern of a warrior.

Levels 10-15 Snails and Slimes in the later levels.
Levels 15-20 Red Snails, Slimes, and Pigs in later levels.
Levels 20-25 Slimes, Pigs, Ribbon Pigs in later levels.
Levels 25-30 Slimes, Pigs, Ribbon Pigs
Levels 30-35 Ribbon Pigs, Wild Boars
Levels 35-40 Ribbon Pigs and Mostly Wild Boars
Levels 40-45 Wild Boars
Levels 45-50 Wild Boars and possibly Fire Boars in later levels.

Levels 60-65 Fire Boars and Copper Drakes
Levels 65-70 Copper Drakes and Crocos

"Why does the training guide stop at level 70? I thought you said I could keep going!"
Yeah, you can, but to be quite honest, from about level 55 to 70 is a mystery for training locations on Perma Beginners. Very few people have ever reached past even level 40 as a beginner. Perhaps if you stick with it, you could help determine better areas to train.
This training guide should not be strictly followed. If the enemies are too strong, train on weaker ones. If the enemies are too weak, train on stronger ones. Just kill each monster in 1-2 hits. Perma Beginners are about being unique, so don't obsess over a strict training regime.
