Hero Online Guide: Level 3-7
Level 3: At that level you need to think about armour. But drops from monsters are best at your level. You should continue on boars and go a little more east for level 3-5 boars. Parties will get a lot more exp if you do this for long enough. This is the easy part faster than high levels and knowledge gained.
Level (hero gold) 4: It is same to principle new monsters, that you should stay with level 5 boars and press "m" for map start to head north, for thieves which are level 5. The job at level 10 may start to interest you but don't worry about it for now.
Level 5: Unfortunately unlike level 3, level 5 is the dead end for Dragon Castle. You will be killing the highest-level mobs that do not kill you and will continue to do so. You will start to become bored so grab a coffee. This can take up to 20 minutes for the next levels overall.
Level (hero money) 6: Again any armour gained should be kept for personal use and you should continue what you have been doing for the past time. The mobs you kill are en masse and not hard to find so stick in there.
Level 7: You should now head towards highlands, which is the second area. It contains mobs from 9-20. You should aim to be killing apes at level 9-12 and get a party going. Apes are popular for the fact that most quests require ape liquor, which these drop.
