After reaching C30, you'll be able to enter Act8.
We highly recommend finishing the Act 8 quest line first, as this is the more efficient way to gain experience. Aswell, it will make possible to do most endgame raids & content.

You can access the Act 8 maps by talking to Ain in the Chief's Cave. (accessible from Western Krem)
Act 8 - Main Quest

Experience penalty
In Act 8, not all mobs have the same CLVL, which means there is an experience penalty based on the level difference between the player and the enemy they're facing.
This implies the need to level up in different Act 8 maps because, at a certain point, the experience gain will be very little in the early maps. It becomes necessary to advance to the next maps in search of higher CLVL mobs. Similarly, it is not advisable to access the last maps as they have a significant level difference compared to the player.
Therefore, here is the following table that is used to determine what percentage of experience you'll earn.
Example:
By killing a CLVL 80 monster at CLVL 60, you won't be earning any experience from it.
By killing a CLVL 54 to 64 monster at CLVL60, you'll be earning 100% of the experience from it.
By killing a CLVL 51 or 67 monster at CLVL60, you'll be earning 50% of the experience from it.
| Level Difference | Exp. Received |
|---|---|
| -20 | 0% |
| -19 ~ -11 | 10% |
| -10 | 30% |
| -9 | 50% |
| -8 | 70% |
| -7 | 90% |
| -6 ~ +4 | 100% |

Farming tips
- You can optimize your damage by having Damage to Low-Level Entities, and Increased Overall Attack shell options, since most of the mobs in Act 8 belong to the Low-level monster race
except those mobs which belong to the Draconian race, for this only Overall Attack works.
- Amon, Otter and Panda are the most viable partner / pet for farming as they can both draw the enemies to you. On top each of them can be useful when it comes to draining the enemies resistances or healing you.
- It is recommended to have the Ancient Beast Helmet, Dragon Wing Decoration (both 20% antimalus) or Ceremonial Helmet (15% antimalus) to avoid most debuffs from mobs.
