By level 70+, questing in v62 is mostly for completion or items, not efficient leveling — grinding at Vikings (Ludi), Skelegons (Leafre), or Himes (Zipangu) is faster.

Do all quests here — they teach basics, give items, and are required to leave.

After level 10, talk to Shanks in Southperry to go to Victoria Island.

In V62, the endgame is not about "Arcane River." It’s about Aqua Road, Orbis Tower, and Leafre.

In v62, the EXP requirement to level is significantly higher than modern MapleStory. Quests here are your primary source of EXP until you can efficiently 1-hit kill monsters.
