Levelling

XP and IP

Once you have acquired enough experience you will gain a new level. At each new level you will be given more IP to place into your skills. It's always best to distribute IP right after a battle.Try to place the IP into skills that are key to your profession, especially the main attributes such as Body Development and Nano Pool. As you gain levels, the experience needed to reach a new level will be slightly increased.

Remember that when spending IP, the skills that are coloured light green are a lot easier to increase than those skills coloured dark blue. Increasing a dark blue skills means using more IP than increasing a green skill. As you reach higher levels IP becomes valuable as you try to increase certain statistics so you may use that new weapon or nano program, so try to spend IP wisely in the beginning.

It is also a good idea to head to a shop when you can and check out weapons, nano crystals and items you think you may use at higher levels and note their requirements. By doing this you can plan what weapons and items you want to use at higher levels and spend your IP at the lower levels accordingly. Planning on what items to use should also be compared against what skills are easy for you to increase.

Training

Training Ground

The training ground is the area in which you first enter Rubi-Ka. Here there are creatures to kill, a Guard and Guide, a starter shop and an insurance terminal. Near the Guide and Guard will be an exit that leads to the backyard area. If you are Omni-Tek this exit will look like a teleporter. If you are Clan, this exit will be an archway. If you are Neutral, this exit will be a mine shaft.

Backyard

In the backyard you will find important things such as another Guide, a mission booth, a bank and apartments. Also in the backyard is an exit which leads to the rest of the city. To exit the backyard and enter the city you must be at least level 2 or have 1000 credits.
