SAPPHIRE Servers – Day 1 Fast Progression Guide
An efficient, strategic, and speed-focused leveling plan for August 8th. Let’s get started:
Before Server 1 Launches
Preparation is key. Before the server launches, be sure to:
- Purchase SAPPHIRE Access in advance
- Ensure your computer is fully up-to-date
- Prepare your Metin+ subscription if you plan to activate it
- Choose your class
Character Creation and Setup
- Create your character now – Use a short name to attract attention
- Get your starting items (Apprentice Chest, Young Hero Weapons, etc.)
Adjust settings:
- Enable auto-collect (Pet or Loot Card)
- Adjust hotkeys and game layout
- Disable unnecessary UI for smoother gameplay
Level Up Path (Levels 1-30)
Goal: Reach level 30 in less than 2 hours
💡 Pro tip: Use EXP potions and ask for blessings or buffs from friendly Shamans or Metin+ users.
Equipment Optimization
You’ll find equipment early, but here’s what you need to do to optimize:
- Upgrade your Young Hero Weapon if possible
- Use Blacksmith events or bonuses for safe upgrades
- Prioritize accessories that provide HP, Critical Damage, and Attack Speed
- Sell scrap early for faster Yang accumulation
Earning Money Early
Don’t just earn XP, make smart Yang moves:
- Collect Metin Stones (Level 25+ zones) for drops
- Sell low-level upgrade materials (e.g., Broken Armor, Claws) at the market
- Don’t waste Dragon Coins early – save them for items like auto-select pets or useful equipment
- Join weekly events for extra loot
Day 1 Goal Planning
Set achievable goals and plan your progress:
🎯 Unlock EXP bonuses from Uriel upon reaching level 40.
Metin+ Buff Strategy
If you’re using Metin+, activate buffs wisely:
- EXP Buff during active leveling sessions
- Drop Rate Buff during Metin or Boss farming
- Movement Speed or Attack Buffs for grinding zones
Track your active time and switch buffs every few hours to suit your playstyle.
Server Firsts and Titles
Pay attention to Server First Challenges:
- 30/50. First to reach level 1
- First to kill certain bosses
- First to complete certain dungeons
Earning these awards grants special titles and recognition on the server. You can also earn bonus items or currency.
Join a Guild Early
Being in an active guild provides:
- Reinforcements
- Access to higher-level players for help
- Group EXP events or dungeon tours
- Easier access to community events
Tip: Don’t expect a perfect guild; join an active guild and switch later.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don’t waste time in PvP zones early
- Don’t upgrade low-level equipment beyond +5 unless absolutely necessary
