2. 📜 Must-Have: How to Use Experience Scrolls to Accelerate Your Leveling Process
- ✅ Buy experience scrolls in the market (type 'XP' in the search engine).
- ✅ The scrolls grant an XP boost (e.g. 10% for 180 minutes).
- ✅ You can only have one active scroll at a time, and its effect persists even if you die.
- ✅ Even the basic scroll (5% XP) is worth it.

3. 🌱 Level 1-6: Beginnings in Lion Hold and Introductory Missions

- ✅ The mission will send you to the left or right to different mission zones.
- ✅ Both routes will take you to around level 5 or 6.
- ✅ From level 5 to 6, do whatever you want, as it levels up very quickly.
