📜 Guide

  1. Loop around the Valley of Trials and kill Scorpid Workers for Sting of the Scorpid, gather Cactus Apples for Galgar's Cactus Apple Surprise, and wake up peons with the quest item Foreman's Blackjack for Lazy Peons. After completing them, head towards Sarkoth. Avoid Vile Familiars for now.
  2. Sarkoth is south of Hana'zua. Although he is level 4, you are fine to kill him now at level 3 or wait until level 4. In general it's ideal to complete quests as close to the recommended level as possible for max experience.
  3. Jump back down to town and hand in Galgar's Cactus Apple Surprise. You will receive Cactus Apple Surprises; if you continue eating them after 15 seconds you will get a 15 minute food buff that increases your Stamina and Spirit.
  4. Hand in Sting of the Scorpid for 250 xp and your choice between a Soft Wool Belt and a Battleworn Cape. Then hand in Lazy Peons.
  5. That should be enough to reach level 4. Head to your class trainer to learn your level 4 skills.
