Level Up Fast in Crystal of Atlan – 10 Free-to-Play Beginner Tips

Just starting out in Crystal of Atlan? Whether you're new to MMOs or a seasoned adventurer checking out Nuverse’s magicpunk RPG, there are a few things you must know to make the most of your early game experience—especially if you’re planning to play free-to-play (F2P).

Below, we’ve gathered the 10 most important beginner tips to help you save time, conserve resources, and get the best out of your grind in Crystal of Atlan's global release.


๐Ÿ›ก️ 1. Stop Upgrading at +10 Gear (Seriously!)

Once you hit +10 on your equipment, stop! Going past that level burns up materials fast, and the failure rate increases significantly. If you're below level 55, it’s simply not worth it—save those upgrade resources for when they matter most.


๐Ÿ”จ 2. Start Crafting at Level 25 (Focus on Weapons First)

Crafting unlocks early, but it’s most impactful around level 25. Your first priority? Weapons and offensive gear. Higher attack power lets you speed-run dungeons and farm better drops, regardless of class. Accessories with offensive stats come next.

⚡ 3. Use Your Stamina Every Day

Stamina in CoA regenerates every day at 6 AM server time—but it doesn’t stack. If your stamina bar is full, you’re losing potential rewards every minute. Always use your green stamina before reset. This is key to staying competitive, especially for F2P players.


๐Ÿ“… 4. Follow Your Daily Routine (Don't Skip Logins!)

Free login rewards, daily quests, event items, and shop deals are the lifeblood of F2P success in CoA. Logging in daily ensures you never fall behind. Consistency beats grind, especially when stamina limits your playtime.


๐Ÿ—️ 5. Hidden Chests = Free Loot

Instances often contain hidden chests tucked away off-path. These don't cost extra stamina and can drop rare materials and gear. Always explore a bit before rushing to the final boss—your wallet will thank you.


๐Ÿงช 6. Hoard Potions and Buffs (For Now)

Early-game CoA is generous with consumables, but this won’t last. Don’t use your limited potions and buffs unless you're stuck. In late-game content, these items become harder to find and essential for survival.


๐Ÿค 7. Join a Guild ASAP

Guilds aren’t just for co-op players—they offer access to unique shops, rewards, and extra missions. Even if you're a solo player, joining a guild boosts your overall progression. Plus, you'll meet a supportive community!


๐Ÿ“œ 8. Buy the Purple Scroll (Parchment) Daily

A hidden gem for F2P players: The Purple Scroll is available once per day from an NPC in Rhein City's slums. This item is crucial for advancement, so make it part of your daily routine.

๐ŸŽ‰ 9. Prioritize Limited-Time Events

Crystal of Atlan regularly runs events that offer high-value rewards for minimal effort—especially at launch. Make sure you're checking the Events tab daily and finishing them as a priority. Farming, bosses, logins—don’t miss a beat!


๐ŸŽ’ 10. Find the NPC with the Bag!

Yes, there’s a specific NPC who’ll reward you with a bag upgrade that increases your inventory size—vital for longer dungeon runs and less micromanaging. Look for this quest early and complete it ASAP.


Final Thoughts: Start Smart, Save Resources, Stay Consistent

Crystal of Atlan is built to be friendly for both F2P and premium players, if you’re smart about how you use your time and resources. Following this beginner guide will help you avoid early mistakes and keep you competitive as new content rolls out.
