AFK Leveling with Training Dummies and Books becomes available once your character reaches level 50. Begin by purchasing a Book of Training from a Black Spirit’s Training NPC for 1 million silver per hour.
Purchase Book of Training:
Book of Training – Combat (1/3/5/10 Hour)
Book of Training – Skill (1/3/5/10 Hour)
You can use both books at the same time.
NOTE:
AFK Leveling is a slower way to level, but still helpful when you can’t grind or quest.
AFK LEVELING TIP: Go hug someone in real life! 🙂

How to AFK Level
Step by Step:
- Locate NPC by typing “Spirit’s Training” into the NPC Search. (top right search icon)
- Purchase a Book of Training (1/3/5/10 Hour) for Combat and/or Skill Exp
- Right Click the Books of Training you want to stack exp for. Time will be added instead of replaced.
- Approach a Training Dummy NPC called “Scarecrow” and press R to interact
Every 3 minutes, you will get Combat and/or Skill EXP.
Use your Combat Exp buff items before you use the Scarecrow. (A few items, like food, can be used during AFK leveling.)
Scarecrow Training Dummy
The Training Dummy is an NPC called, “Scarecrow.” Press R key to start AFK Leveling.
Training Dummy Doesn’t Work
If the Training Dummy isn’t working, make sure of the following:
- You are not in a party.
- You have a main weapon or sub weapon equipped.
- You have the Book of Training icon on your buff list at the top of the screen. (details below)
Book of Training Time Left
After right clicking a Book of Training in your inventory, you will see an icon appear. This means you can use a Training Dummy.
This buff is shared across all of your family and does NOT disapear if you switch to an alt character.
Hover over the book icon with your mouse, and it will show the time you have left.
Training Dummy Experience, Time, & Costs
- AFK Leveling costs 1 million silver per hour.
- Your weapons will not degrade, so there are no repair costs.
- Minimal Pet Feed costs because pets with Combat Exp do not have to be fed, but they do need to be out of the stable.

AFK Leveling Tips
- Use items that buff combat exp. Extra combat/skill exp buffs and items will increase the exp received and decrease the time needed for leveling.
- If you are a Season Character, make use of Season Server’s extra combat exp buffs. New players can use Olvia servers.
- Extend AFK leveling time by using another Book of Training before time runs out.
- There is a leveling cap of 99% of your current level.
- You can use “Book of Training – Combat” and “Book of Training – Skill” at the same time.
- Have a main weapon or sub-weapon equipped.
- Leave your party. Combat Exp does not share. You will be unable to interact with the training scarecrows, if you are in a party or platoon.
- If you disconnect or start AFK training during maintenance, you will loose any time lost.
