Papers → rats → frost goblins → ice mephits → forest beetles → beastmen → felldrakes → yetis → a late-game finish.

Best fit

A character kept in its intended class; careful melee or caster play

Evidence

Complete historical itinerary with later corroboration

Collect the customs papers immediately on arrival, ideally at level 1. Sources differ on the old gate; the detailed 2018 account says below 10,000 XP and recent Discord says before level 5. Outdoor rest is restricted. This is a hunting route to 40; the documented starter quest chain itself does not extend to 40.

Gear and preparation
Materials, resistances and forging targets.

Route at a glance

Levels 1–7 — Customs papers, Duty Sergeant and sewer rats

Go: Collect the papers at the arrival desk, speak to the Duty Sergeant in town, then enter the sewers.

Hunt: Kill rats and obtain the large rat ear for the quest. Turn it in as the quest directs.

Prepare: Get the quest before exploring yourself beyond its entry limit. Start small; use indoor/safe rest points.

Keep: Animal hearts, skins and the rat-ear quest reward.

Evidence and route notes

Old guides delay the ear pickup until level 7. The clean route does not depend on that optimization or later claims about repeating turn-ins.

Levels 8–9 — Abandoned Mine — frost goblins

Go: Obtain Bjorn the healer/herbalist’s mushroom task in town; travel to the mine north of town. Work the first two goblin levels.

Hunt: Frost goblins; collect the quest mushrooms and return to the quest giver.

Prepare: This is a suggested band for the island itinerary. Prepared caster reports enter earlier.

Keep: Gold, loot and mushroom quest XP.

Evidence and route notes

The earliest successful caster entry is not the recommended starting condition for a new unprepared melee character.

Sources: F85979 · F104632 · F89155 · D607

Levels 10–12 — Mine level three — ice mephits

Go: Continue into the third mine level for Helga’s cold-crystal task.

Hunt: Fight ice mephits; the older route says to break the large crystal for the required cold crystal.

Prepare: Use suitable protection against the encounter’s cold damage and avoid pulling multiple groups before testing them.

Keep: Imp ears, demon hands and the cold-crystal quest item.

Evidence and route notes

Sources: F85979 · F104640 · F78297

Levels 13–16 — Dark Woods — forest beetles and Hive

Go: Travel east from Icenfar City toward the Dark Woods and the Hive. Use the included D308 map for the approach through Dark Woods – South.

Hunt: Hunt forest beetles and collect the large beetle mandible/pincher for the Sergeant’s task.

Prepare: Disease recovery and healing kits help. A later rogue recommendation uses the village chapel as a convenient return/healing point.

Keep: Monster scales, beetle bellies and the quest mandible.

Evidence and route notes

The 2016 route says “dragon scales”; later component advice says monster scales. Check the actual item before forging.

Sources: F85979 · F104705 · D307 · D308 · D440

Levels 17–20/21 — Beastmen below the city sewers

Go: Enter the city sewer, pass the rat level and find the guards barricading a door. Speak to the guard about the side quest and continue through.

Hunt: Work the outer ring; leave the central boss alone.

Prepare: Beastmen hit hard. This is a documented difficulty spike for melee. Upgrade AC, Constitution and healing before moving in; retreat if necessary.

Keep: Giant hearts, gold and loot.

Evidence and route notes

Winter wolves and other outdoor enemies are alternatives in older notes, but their bands are less consistently documented.

Sources: F85979 · D440 · D441 · D448 · D908

Levels 21–27 — Icenfar Mountain — felldrake cave

Go: At the first mountain tier, take the left/southern cave marked by sticks with skulls.

Hunt: Hunt felldrakes; keep the right-hand yeti branch for later.

Prepare: Test one group. A strong build may graduate to yetis around 25; the conservative itinerary stays here longer.

Keep: Dragon blood, monster scales, gold and occasional equipment.

Evidence and route notes

Sources: F85979 · F78297

Levels 28–36 — Icenfar Mountain — yetis

Go: Use the right-hand cave on the first mountain tier and the nearby outdoor encounters.

Hunt: Make a controlled loop of ordinary yeti groups.

Prepare: Substantial AC, damage reduction, Constitution/healing and protection from daze are recurring advice. About 50–60 AC appears in geared melee accounts; it is not a universal entry requirement.

Keep: Giant hearts and valuable equipment.

Evidence and route notes

Same yeti creatures are reported in Hivernales and Frostfell. That does not establish identical density, terrain or risk in all three locations.

Sources: F85979 · F78277 · D205 · D611 · D629

Levels 37–40 — Sabertooths, or a suitable cathedral/group finish

Go: The historical solo itinerary uses sabertooth tigers in/around the yeti cave and mountain. Alternatively use the Cathedral exterior loop described in the classic route.

Hunt: Continue only with enemies still awarding XP. Group alternatives include the barrows and deeper mountain/cathedral content.

Prepare: Choose the finish your build can handle. Boss runs, the cathedral interior and the Ice Drake are not interchangeable with ordinary leveling mobs.

Keep: Skins/meat on the tiger route; exterior cathedral drops on that branch.

Evidence and route notes

The tiger finish is a single detailed historical itinerary. The exterior cathedral has broader corroboration, especially for casters.

Quest notes

Icenfar starter chain

Collect arrival papers → Duty Sergeant/rat ear → Bjorn’s mushrooms → Helga’s cold crystal → forest beetle mandible/pincher. A sewer guard also offers a beastman-related side task.

Start before level 5 according to recent Discord; collecting papers at level 1 is the safest way to satisfy the differing old thresholds. A 2017 post proposing quests to 40 is a plan, not proof of implementation. Delayed pickups/repeated turn-in tricks are not required by this guide.

Changes and conflicting advice

Read the source comparisons

XP labels, challenge ratings and signs

Builders explain that their signs can mean recommended character levels, while other areas use HD/CR or older conventions. A low displayed challenge need not establish a particular XP cutoff.

Use the stated recommended bands, then check actual XP and survival. No universal ±10 XP formula was established by this research.
