# Chimera Online Guide: Level 30–45

## Overview

After completing the mandatory Class Change Quest at Level 30, players are sent to one of the following regions:

- Tough Wind Desert
- Esan Snow Area

These regions become the primary leveling zones from Level 30 to Level 45 and offer a large variety of monsters, quests, rewards, and progression systems.

---

## Main Progression Loop

The core progression in these maps revolves around quest chains and token rewards.

### Quest Structure

Most quests follow the same pattern:

1. Hunt monsters to obtain quest boxes.
2. Open the boxes.
3. Each box contains one of several required quest items.
4. Collect all required items.
5. Return to the NPC to complete the quest.
6. Receive:
   - Experience
   - 5 Sub Tokens
7. The NPC sends you to another nearby NPC.
8. Complete the next quest in the chain.
9. Receive another:
   - Experience reward
   - 5 Sub Tokens
10. The final quest is turned in at the second town located in the adjacent map.
11. Receive:
    - Experience reward
    - 5 Sub Tokens

A full quest line therefore rewards a total of 15 Sub Tokens.

## Hunt Quests

In addition to item collection quests, players can also accept hunting quests.

These quests require defeating specific monster groups and reward:

- Experience
- Sub Tokens

They are intended to be completed alongside the collection quests for maximum efficiency.

---

## Token System

### Sub Tokens

Most Level 30–45 quests reward Sub Tokens.

### Converting Tokens

20 Sub Tokens can be combined into:

- 1 Token

### Token Shop Rewards

Tokens can be exchanged for powerful progression equipment.

#### Equipment Costs

| Item | Cost |
|--------|--------|
| Armor Piece | 1 Token |
| Weapon | 2 Tokens |
| Craft Insurance | 3 Tokens |

---

## Equipment Rewards

The token equipment provides:

- Weapons from Level 30–45
- Armor from Level 30–45
- Maximum enhancement level already applied

This allows players to remain competitive without relying entirely on random drops.

---

## Craft Insurance

Players can also purchase Craft Insurance items.

These protect crafting attempts for:

- Grade 1 items
- Grade 2 items
- Grade 3 items

Craft Insurance costs 3 Tokens.

---

## Elda Stone Progression

These maps continue the introduction to the Elda Stone system.

Players can begin collecting materials and preparing for stronger upgrades before reaching later content.

---

## Level 45 Dungeon

Both regions contain an optional dungeon intended for Level 45+ players.

### Dungeon Rewards

The dungeon provides access to:

- Elda Stone Level 3
- Elda Stone Level 4
- Fame Equipment (Level 50)

### Fame Equipment

Fame Equipment offers:

- Extremely strong defensive bonuses
- Excellent PvE survivability
- A useful stepping stone toward later content

### Dungeon Importance

The dungeon is optional while leveling from 30–45.

Most players will return later once they become stronger, allowing them to clear monsters more efficiently and farm rewards faster.

For entrances, monsters, bosses, drops, and farming advice, see the [Level 45 Dungeons Guide](D01_level_45_dungeons_guide.md).
