Levels 1–4 — Xion northwest-leg ruins
Go: Xion’s hub is spider-shaped. The northwest leg leads to the rat ruins; bank and forge services are south of the hub.
Hunt: Kill starter rats.
Prepare: Learn the hub and keep the group together.
Keep: Animal hearts; source reports basic monster stats but they are historical.
Levels 5–8/10 — Xion northeast-leg ruins
Go: Use the northeast leg for the undead ruins.
Hunt: Skeletons, ghouls and ghasts.
Prepare: Do not mistake one of the lower dungeon stairs for this starter area.
Keep: Starter progression and components.
About 8/10–12 — Preparation before the Ascent
Go: Use an appropriate remaining starter encounter or briefly take the corrected canyon/cavern route. Return when the party is equipped for the dungeon.
Hunt: Bridge the gap deliberately; the historical index starts Ascent floor one at 12.
Prepare: Death Ward, Clarity/mind protection and complementary party roles are the guide’s recurring requirements.
Keep: Finish basic equipment preparation.
Levels 12–20 — Ascent — first level
Go: Enter the Ascent from Xion/Spider Gateway.
Hunt: Random mixed groups; the earlier survey lists creatures such as hook horrors, driders, war trolls, umber hulks, beholders and mindflayers.
Prepare: Balanced party, death/mind defenses, controlled pulls. Historical listed HD values are not current safety guarantees.
Keep: Components and treasure.
Levels 20–30 — Ascent — second level
Go: Advance with the party after the first tier stops being suitable.
Hunt: Mixed encounters can vary in both monster type and numbers.
Prepare: A player specifically reports daze/confusion and death effects around this range. Do not sacrifice every other defense for one protection.
Keep: Components and treasure.
Levels 30–40 — Ascent — third level
Go: Continue into the third tier with the same party approach.
Hunt: Choose appropriate encounters and retreat from an unfavorable random mix.
Prepare: This is not presented as an easy solo shortcut.
Keep: Components and treasure.
