Levels 1-20 | Leveling-up through grind TERA Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Areas to visit: Island of Dawn, Fey Forest, a part of the Oblivion Woods and Valley of Titans.
The best way to attain the first twenty levels is to complete quests )which has been described in the chapter concerned with leveling-up through completing quests), because they provide a lot more experience than killing mobs, for the same duration of time.
Still, if you do not want to complete quests until you reach level 20, after you reach the Lumbertown (you should then be around the 11-12th level) go to the North of the city and start eliminating mobs (Warthog), and keep doing so until you reach level 15. Then, travel to the North again (the blue marker above) and kill the mobs there (Unicorns) until you reach level 16.
The net step are mobs (Devan Mob) located to the North of Crescenti (a city in Oblivion Woods). Until you reach level 20, you should be occupying yourself with these mobs.
As it has already been mentioned, at the beginning of this chapter, the faster way to reach level 20 is to complete quests, but there is nothing to prevent you from occupying yourself with grind, right from the beginning of the game. After you reach level 20, skip to the next chapter.
