- Kill monsters in the “Training Grounds” area (dense spawns).
- Use Dark Shield to reduce damage taken, and Mana Tap to keep your MP up.
- Once you reach level 20 and Job Level 20, return to your class trainer to choose your advanced class path.
💡 The Adept is a temporary class. Focus on Dark Bolt and Dark Shield. Do not invest heavily in skills you will not use in your advanced class.
