Training areas

It is crucial that you train at the right place or else u are unable to strive quickly.

Level 1-8: Do the beginners tutorial to gain easy exp and make sure you talk to Roger while you are in the tutorial as he gives u 3 red potions and 3 blue potions. When outside, train on snails, blue snails, and the occasional shroom. Do NOT try to kill a red snail as red snails are not the exp that it is meant to be worth ( if you do the math, blue snails take over red snail on exp [Blue snails=15 hp 4 exp, Red snails=45 hp and 8 exp, Blue snail x 2= 30 hp 8 exp, therefore{using exp}, Blue>Red)

Level 8-12 Finally! You're a mage! Go to the portal on the bottom floor of Ellinia. There will be Stump, Slimes, Green Mush. and Axe Stump. Make sure you dont go near the Green mush and the Axe Stump because they will kill you in 2 hits.Only train on Slime and Stumps. Do the Training quests given by Grendel as these give a lot of potions and decent exp.
