Once you collect 20 Valor Stones, visit the merchant in Yara's Mirage (Cinderlands) to purchase your first green-tier skill book. These upgrades are game-changing and should be prioritized. Don't worry about BnS NEO Classic Divine Gems using them on early accessories-you can remove and transfer them later.

Crafting and Professions

When you reach Jadestone Village, you can join a crafting guild. Crafting isn't mandatory, but starting early lets you queue long crafting timers in the background. You'll need silver from side quests to get started, so weigh whether it's worth the investment for your playstyle.

Factions and Group Play

At Act 18, you'll be asked to join either the Crimson Legion or the Cerulean Order. The choice doesn't affect your story-just pick the same faction as your friends so you can do faction dailies together.
Leveling is always faster in a party:

Collectibles count for the entire group when one member interacts.

Mobs die quicker when you split and tag spawns.

If areas are overcrowded, switch to a less populated channel (top-right of your UI).

Consumables and Potions

As you level, you'll collect various tiers of healing potions. Instead of hoarding weak ones, convert them at a general merchant into higher-tier versions. This keeps your inventory clean and ensures your heals scale properly as enemies get stronger.

Breaking Points and Dungeons

At certain MSQ chapters, you'll be given a choice: clear a dungeon or kill mobs in the open world. For efficiency, pick the mob-killing option unless you're already geared or running with friends. With unlimited sprint in NEO, skipping mobs in dungeons is much easier than in the original game, but avoid getting hit-being in combat slows you down.

Level Cap and Future Updates

Currently, NA players may start with content capped at level 36 (covering Chapters 1–2). Chapter 3, raising the cap to level 45, will be released later. The true endgame cap is 55, but that content is reserved for future updates.

Clans and Social Systems

Many players will ask: How do I create a clan?

Speak to a Faction Overseer in town.

Pay 10 gold to establish a clan.

Gold is scarce early, so completing side quests and farming silver is essential before attempting this.
