Phoenix Rebirth 2.0:

Horizon:

Halloween Event had start, nothing much had change other than a new boss named Grimvine Jack which need party of few Level 185 Players to kill. It spawn every 6 hrs on Ch 2 and 4 at Top Right of Juno Map at the top of East Side Drake Nest, and randomly drop Wolfrik Leash, 25 Candle, 20 Anniversary Candle, 25 Halloween Token, 5 Halloween Token Box or Halloween Title.

Phoenix:

 

Found out that the Laca Ball and Moonstone Statue are Auto by default, after trying it out and found that most of the stuffs are not really helpful. Lucky to find that there is a Cash Shop in town which sell some useful stuffs at cheap price of about 1M.

There is no Pictorial Book, it is replaced by the Achievement instead. Found out that there is another Newbie Quest at Level 100 which kill some mobs at Floriam Cave for Rune and Master Coins for Monster Combo Accessory. As I start to make a few Raid Boss Hunters, I found out that Egeha Curse Lich and Curse Weaver drop Boosters and Summon Book.

I also found out that Raid Boss will drop even though the toon is higher level, so it is not necessary to be within 5 levels. Because of that it is very hard for low level toon to get drop as a lot of high level will use boss recall to kill steal.

The leveling guide on discord also not very well written, it recommend the following path:

 

1-30 = Juno 

30-50 = Maradaguum Jail 

50-70 = Egeha

70-115 = Tomb

115-145 = Floraime Cave 

145-165 = Tarian either Seekers (best EXP but hard to kill) or middle of Tairan with AOE.

I found out that the better path for leveling are as follows:

 

1-20 = Juno (Newbie Quest and Elder Drake)

20-57 = Temple Of Forgetfulness 

57-87 = Tomb

87-140 = Floraim Cave 

140-165 = Tairan

It can be also break down into finer details as follows:

 

1-20 = Juno (Newbie Quest and Elder Drake)

20-31= Margardaam Jail

31-60 = Temple Of Forgetfulness (Back Pack Quest)

60-100 = Tomb Zombie and Sphinx Commander 

100-140 = Floraim Cave (Newbie Quest)

140-165 = Tairan Seeker or Rawhead 

The former path is harder but faster, while the latter path is easier but slower. It is design base on the Weapon we get at Level 20 with Guardian System and the other Gear Sets we get at Level 31, 42, 57, 87, 121 and 157. It is also taking into consideration of the Dual Class at Level 31, and other skills and additional gears and accessory at different level from other quests. 

With HP and MP Steal and Skill Cool Down, the strategy is to keep spamming skills. Leveling is fast till Level 100 and become slow from then onwards. It is good to know that the level cap is 165, but the lack of space to allow so many players to level make most of the popular spots very crowded.

The Phoenix Anti Cheat also cause a lot of issues as it recognize other version of the game, and the worst is that it doesn't reset when the client crash. Due to that reason, it might not be a good choice for replacement for Official Server.
