Level 3

At this point, it is time for you to take on your first mission, if you’re feeling up to it. Leave the training area and explore the small area of town that you should have access to right off the bat. You’ll find a mission booth here. Request a mission and turn the difficulty all the way down, then raise the experience slider so that you’ll get as much experience as is possible. Afterward walk in and complete the mission. This should give you a vague idea about what missions will be like later on and, at the same time, give you far more experience and credits than you would have received by fighting monsters in the training area. If you are not able to make it to level 4 on the first mission, however, simply head to the training area and make a few kills; it should not take many.

Level 4

Congratulations. You have an established character on your hands. Head out into the city and take on a couple of missions until you reach level 6. From that point on most of the action that you will want to involve yourself in will take place in the outside world. Travel in groups whenever possible, and you just may live long enough to see some of the higher levels.
