Create your character in the right place
For this route, choose Asmodian with your group and confirm the exact region and home server before committing character-specific rewards. Your outdoor story follows Altgard; dungeon grouping does not mean friends on another faction share that outdoor route.
Choose a class whose combat role you want to practice, then follow the active story objectives and tutorials. Leave yourself one clear quest to resume instead of starting several disconnected progression goals.

Orient yourself in Altgard
Use the named landmarks to describe where you are when asking friends for help. Follow your actual quest journal for travel order; the publisher’s world tour does not establish prerequisites or an optimal path between these places.
When a marker seems close but is unreachable, check its elevation and the objective text. Activate travel or checkpoint interactions as the game introduces them; the showcase presenters explicitly had developer-unlocked travel, which is not a fresh-character route.

Your Global dungeon milestones
NC’s Global showcase gives a clear leveling ladder: Krao Cave Exploration at 20, Urugugu Canyon at 28 and Fire Temple at 35. Conquest becomes available at 45, which is also the announced launch level cap. These level milestones do not remove other prerequisites shown by the selected dungeon.

21:48: Exploration levels and the transition to Conquest. The level-cap answer is at 46:31.
Watch on YouTube at 21:48 ↗| Character level | Global milestone in the official preview | Useful next action |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | Krao Cave Exploration | Use the introductory mode to learn the dungeon menu and encounter cues. |
| 28 | Urugugu Canyon Exploration | Try the next available Exploration while continuing your story. |
| 35 | Fire Temple Exploration | Learn the route and inspect its equipment rewards. |
| 45 | Launch level cap and Conquest access | Check the chosen dungeon’s remaining requirements, then form a learning group. |

Turn each unlock into a useful practice stop
Try the available Exploration when you want to learn its encounter or need its displayed rewards. Read one newly unlocked skill, practice a defensive response and return to the story with a specific next objective.
At 45, use the Global progression guide to select an eligible Conquest, prepare your four-Stigma choices and work toward one useful equipment improvement. The route does not require following a later KR / TW level-50 chapter.
