Getting started Chronicle 1

Dwarf Starting Route in C1: Strip Mine, Coal Mines and Mithril Mines

Move a new Dwarf from the Strip Mine through repeatable quests and the two early mining dungeons while planning Scavenger or Artisan.

L2Tools guideUpdated 2026-09-23

Use the Strip Mine to establish the first loop

The Dwarf tutorial begins at the Strip Mine. Its native monster record contains level 1 Gremlin Scavenger and level 2 Longtail Keltir. Finish the tutorial, then visit Dwarven Village to check trainers, quest starters and basic supplies. A Dwarf may eventually specialize in gathering or crafting, but the opening still depends on surviving repeated fights without wasting all the adena that could fund later materials.

Turn repeatable village quests into a route

Revenge of the Redbonnet starts at level 4, Brigands Sweep at level 5, The Hidden Veins at level 6 and Covert Business at level 10. The C1 catalogue marks all four repeatable. Their names do not establish that the same monster advances them, so use the exact quest pages to check objectives and return NPCs. Select a pair only when they naturally share the mining region you intend to hunt.

Compare the western and eastern mining fields

Western Mining Zone contains level 4 Black Wolf, level 6 Utuku Orc and level 8 Goblin Brigand. Eastern Mining Zone includes level 11 Magical Weaver, level 14 Hunter Bear and level 16 Hunter Tarantula. That range lets you raise difficulty without treating every mining field as the same camp. Compare the length of the return journey and whether a current quest or useful material source makes a particular loop worthwhile.

Treat Coal Mines and Mithril Mines as different stages

Abandoned Coal Mines begin with level 6 Utuku Orc and rise to level 13 Goblin Lord in the recorded list. Mithril Mines begin around level 10 Monster Eye Tracker and include level 14 Akaste Bone Archer and level 19 Akaste Bone Lord farther in. The first mine is a reasonable test before committing to the second, but individual pulls and gear matter more than the location name. Scout an exit before moving deeper.

Use materials without losing sight of combat costs

A gathered or spoiled material helps only if the fight to obtain it is sustainable and its use is clear. Save the relevant C1 item or recipe record, note what the Crafting Planner says is missing and compare that with the time spent farming. Buying shots, healing and travel can consume a large part of a low-level budget. A Dwarf choosing Artisan may value recipe inputs differently from a future Scavenger, but both still need equipment that makes the next hunt possible.

Choose Scavenger or Artisan before stockpiling

The Dwarf first-profession choice changes the purpose of collected materials. Scavenger follows a spoil-focused path, while Artisan works toward production. Read both C1 class records and their level 19 transfer quests before buying a warehouse full of unrelated components. Keep useful stock for a named recipe or farming plan, and sell or defer items that have no clear role in the next stage of the character.

Keep in mind

Mining zones include enemies above the first entries shown here; the linked monster pages carry exact levels and possible sources.
Quest rewards, spoil rates and market value may differ on customized servers.
