Premium Accounts - Most Efficient Method

You will not receive the best skills or best equipment using this method, but you will advance fast and also have better equipment than the previous fastest method. Also the hunting will be much easier. Walk directly north from the temple and head west to the premium area. Enter in to the sewer under the premium trading room and start slaying as many rats as possible. Be sure to stay on the first floor and remove the loot from every single rat you kill and eat as much cheese from them as possible. According to your starting equipment your hit points will drop amazingly fast. Once you reach a dark yellow or red hp bar above your head - leave the cave immediately. Run towards the town guard Zerbrus and say hi. He will heal you to yellow hit points. Then proceed back down to the same rat cave and continue this process until you reach level two.

Once you reach level two leave town through the bridge that Dallheim guards. Head as far east as possible and search the far east coast for a "banana palm" tree. Right-click the tree to receive a banana. Then go to town and find the shop owner named Billy. Give him the banana to receive a studded shield. Go back to the premium side of town and hunts rats again until you have enough gold to buy a rope and shovel. Once you have the rope and shovel go back to the guard Zerbrus walk past him and go downstairs. You are now in the premium hunting area. On the ground level you can find snakes, spiders, and wolves. These will be your primary monsters you will hunt. Look for huge rocks with wolves inside them. Wolves are the fastest experience on premium side and are an easy kill. There is skeleton cave by under three graves. Use your shovel on the middle grave to enter. Skeletons give great loot and is the premium area's best source of gold. Continue to kill these wolves and the other monsters on ground level until you are level five.

After you reach level five head to the middle of the hunting area until you reach a cave entrance that looks like the one in the image below. Be sure to bring your rope and shovel with you because you will need both of them to enter and roam this area.

Head in to the cave and go down the stairs to your left. Follow the path until you rope up to the next level. Go north from here and down the hole ahead of you. Run past the trolls and proceed down the next hole. Run to the very bottom of the map and cross the bridge guarded by goblins and go down the ladder. Fight goblins in this area until one of them drops a small axe.

Take the small axe and head back to town. Once in town proceed west and cross the premium bridge back in to town on free side. After you cross the bridge head north in to Al Dee's shop and say hi. Say the word "pick" and he will ask to trade a pick for a small axe. Say yes and you will receive a pick in your backpack.

After you recieve the pick run in to the middle of town on free side and head north to Dallheim. Exit town and walk directly north until you come to a house in ruins.

Head down the staircase and go far right as possible until you find a ladder. Go down the ladder and continue going as far right as possible. Be careful, there are many orcs in these caves but if you run fast enough you can get by them easily. Run by the orcs and go down the ladder. In this level go toward the room in the far right with a bed and minotuar spawn. Use the pick on the shown location.

After using the pick go down the hole and right-click the chest. You will receive a copper key. Go back up the ladder and look around on the floor for a lever near the bed. Right-click the lever to move the big rock above it. After the rock is moved go to the room behind it with the bear in it. The door will be locked. Use the key on the door to open it. Loot all of the items in the room.

Now that you have a chain armor and a decent shield, head back to town. Head toward the bridge that connects premium side with free account side (King's Bridge). There will be a huge rock that resembles a type of recreational landmark on premium side. To the far left of this rock will be a staircase hidden under two trees. Head down the staircase and in to the cave. There are bugs and spiders in this cave and two ways to walk. First go straight ahead and kill all of the spiders then head back and kill all of the bugs. If you reach low hit points walk back to Zerbrus and heal.

Head toward Zerbrus again and go down the stairs behind him. Continue to kill these wolves and the other monsters on ground level until you are level eight.

After reaching level eight head back in to town and speak with the oracle found upstairs in the academy. Choose a vocation, a town to live in, and be teleported to mainland. Congratulations!
