Rune Slayer Levelling Progression Guide | Level 0-Max 50

Ultimate Leveling Guide to Rune Slayer – If you’re diving into Rune Slayer and aiming to hit level 50 as fast (and efficiently) as possible, youโ€™re not aloneโ€”and definitely not unarmed. Hereโ€™s a raw, no-fluff walkthrough designed for players who donโ€™t want vague advice, just clear-cut direction from spawn to max level. Letโ€™s walk through the real grind, step by step.

Ultimate Rune Slayer Levelling Progression Guide : The Real Grind to Level 50

Level 1โ€“15: Early Game Hustle

Right after spawning, your job is simple: collect question marks around the area. These are mission triggers and give solid XP. Donโ€™t skip any. Start by heading to the Guild Hallโ€”talk to the NPC and claim your starting jobs. Prioritize:

  • Mandrate missions (stacked quests + low HP enemies = fast XP)
  • Bees and Honey quest
  • Black Ooze Slime & Normal Slimes (Look for Sadeโ€™s Badge drop for inventory expansion)

Once you’ve wrapped up those basic quests and handed them in, you should land somewhere around level 15.


Level 15โ€“30: The Forest Trials & Hidden XP Sources

After the slime and mandrate business, itโ€™s time to take on wolves, boars, and bears. Youโ€™ll also be asked to โ€œFind the Lost Partyโ€โ€”this is hidden deep in Rat King territory, so keep pushing through the tunnels. Donโ€™t get discouraged; itโ€™s a straight path once you get the layout.

From here, head into Ashenshire, the next major region nestled in the forest. This is your new home base.

Key things to do in Ashenshire:

  • Set your spawn at the motel
  • Claim all quests (rooftop, indoors, Greatwood Forestโ€”donโ€™t miss the mud crab mission!)
  • Focus on killing Mother Spider (hard boss, bring friends)
  • Finish all job board tasks and promotions

You should end up around level 30โ€“35, possibly more depending on how thoroughly you cleared the quests.


Level 35โ€“40: Welcome to Lakeshire

From the back of Ashenshire, make your way to Lakeshire. Itโ€™s not a tough journey, and youโ€™ll pass a mining zone (grab silver here if you can). Watch out for one of the worst mobs in the game lurking nearbyโ€”youโ€™ll know it when you see it.

Once you arrive:

  • Set spawn at the Inn
  • Pick up all quests (especially the frost stone questโ€”difficult but worth it)
  • Complete imp and ghost missions
  • Choose your path: Demon Sect or Holy Knights (this affects your late game)

Optional but valuable:

  • Head to the cave above the ghost spawnโ€”two bosses spawn there that give juicy XP

Youโ€™ll be level 38โ€“40 by the time you clear Lakeshire.


Level 40โ€“50: The Beach, The Bosses, and The Final Grind

Now itโ€™s time to hit the beachโ€”literally.

There are two ways to reach the beach, but the shortcut through the spider cave is the fastest. Once you arrive:

  1. Collect To-Nuts (12 required for a hidden quest)
  2. Do the quests and set your spawn
  3. Prioritize the mission from the guy who gives the shark quest

Now the real trick: the Runic Whale.

  • Spawns every hour, on the hour (e.g., 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM, etc.)
  • Grants ~1,500 XP per kill
  • Server hop via Rune Slayer Discord to farm it up to 4โ€“5 times per hour

If done efficiently, you can level from 40 to 50 purely off whale kills in under two hours.

Pro tip: Donโ€™t activate the promotion quest requiring you to kill the Runic Whale until youโ€™re level 44. That mission gives a rune keyโ€”necessary for entering Tundra, the endgame zone.


Fastest XP Bonus Path (Optional)

Want an alternate or faster grind?

  • Farm the Goblin King instead of the Whale.
  • Always present, no waiting time.
  • Gives 1,000+ XP per kill.
  • You can kill 8+ per hour via server hopping.
  • Can get you from level 46 to 50 in under an hour.

Final Thoughts: Rune Slayerโ€™s Endgame

Hitting level 50 might not feel like a partyโ€”the grind is real, and it’s not always fun. But if you’re efficient, understand mob spawn logic, and embrace the server-hop life, it’s doable in a couple of solid sessions.

Tips Recap:

  • Collect all question marks
  • Stack missions smartly (Mandrates, Bees, Slimes)
  • Donโ€™t skip hidden quests (mud crabs, mountaintop NPCs, etc.)
  • Run bosses (Runic Whale, Goblin King) for top-tier XP
  • Save promotion quests for when youโ€™re ready
