Legend of Ymir Beginner Guide: Level Up, Mining, Rare Equipment and More
If you’ve just started playing Legend of Ymir and you’re not sure how to progress efficiently, this guide will help you through every essential system — from leveling up and increasing CP to farming dungeons, unlocking artifacts, and mining rare emblems. Let’s dive into what you should focus on early in the game.
1. Leveling Up – The Key to Unlocking Everything
Leveling up (or “liberal up” as some players say) is the foundation of progression in Legend of Ymir. Higher levels unlock more systems, boost your CP (Combat Power), and allow you to equip stronger gear and artifacts.
Why Leveling Matters
• Unlocks artifact and equipment systems.
• Grants access to more dungeons and quests.
• Increases overall CP and survivability.
• Allows artifact upgrading and awakening once you reach level 40.
Main Quest First
Focus on your main quest early. Completing these missions not only helps you understand the game’s story but also unlocks several systems like artifact, mount, and market access. At level 40, you can begin equipping seasonal artifacts and gear, which are crucial for long-term growth.
2. Choosing the Right Dungeon
When it comes to dungeon farming, your early choices can greatly impact your progress.
Safe vs. PvP Zones
• Normal (Safe Mode) – Perfect for early farming without PvP interference. Focus on gaining EXP here.
• PvP Zones – For stronger players. You’ll earn PvP Tokens (capped at 15,000 per day), which can be exchanged for valuable items.
Recommended Dungeon: EXP Dungeon
If you’re just starting, the EXP Dungeon is the best option. Activate an EXP Buff (preferably 30%) before entering to maximize your gains. This dungeon focuses purely on experience gain, allowing you to level quickly and unlock more features.
Dungeon Tips
• Always upgrade your gear before long farming sessions.
• Farm during the last hour before the daily reset for best efficiency.
• Activate buffs from both your inventory and the town/castle for extra bonuses.
3. Artifact System – Building Your Power Network
Artifacts are one of the most unique systems in Legend of Ymir. Think of it as a web of power nodes that you can upgrade and connect.
How It Works
• Each artifact requires materials to upgrade.
• Unlocking one artifact often leads to others.
• High-level artifacts significantly boost CP.
• You can use speed-up items to quicken upgrades once available.
Some artifacts unlock automatically through leveling or completing special quests, so make sure to follow your progression paths closely.
4. Mining and Emblem Gathering
Many players make the mistake of farming emblems inside dungeons — but it’s actually more efficient to mine them outside.
When and Where to Mine
After completing the main quest (around level 16-28), you’ll unlock access to Valleys where emblem mining becomes available. Higher levels grant access to deeper mining floors — up to floor 5 for high-level players.
Tips for Mining
• Prioritize maps with larger stone nodes (higher-tier emblems).
• Mining contributes to CP and crafting resources.
• Combine mining runs with EXP farming to maximize efficiency.
5. Special Quests – Unlocking Auto Skills and the Market
Special quests are essential because they unlock automatic skills and the market system, both critical for efficiency and trade.
Why They’re Important
• Auto skills help you clear mobs and bosses faster.
• Market access allows item trading and purchasing skill books or materials.
• Completing these quests progressively unlocks new game functions, such as enhanced crafting and trading.
Each class benefits differently from auto skills, so make sure you complete these quests as soon as they become available.
6. Side Quests and Board Quests
Many players underestimate side content — don’t make that mistake.
Side Quests
• Provide large amounts of EXP.
• Reward you with materials and crafting tokens.
• Can often be done alongside main quests for efficiency.
Board Quests
• Offer crafting tokens for Blue Gear (Rare).
• Focus first on main weapon crafting, as Blue main weapons are rare and difficult to obtain otherwise.
• You can use your tokens for random chests later if you want to save them for specific sub-weapons.
7. Free Rare Equipment – Don’t Miss It
You can earn several pieces of rare equipment just by playing through the story and dungeon milestones.
Guaranteed Rare Gear Rewards
• Level 15 (Quest 15-4) – Choose Armor.
• Level 28 Dungeon – Drops Helmet.
• Level 35 Dungeon – Drops Body Armor.
• Level 40 Dungeon – Drops Boots.
Since weapons are harder to get, always pick Armor from quest chests and aim for weapons later through crafting or dungeon farming.
8. World Bosses and Hidden Boss Encounters
Hidden bosses are scattered across various maps, offering rare drops and materials.
Example: Black Worker Boss
• Found in the Ice Area (Level 16–20).
• Very strong — not recommended for soloing early on.
• Drops Blue gear and valuable stat rewards.
Team up with other players if you want to take down these bosses effectively.
9. Collection and Crafting System
Collections let you enhance your stats or sell rare items for Legend of YMIR diamonds.
For Free-to-Play Players:
• Sell collected items to earn diamonds.
• Focus on upgrading Accuracy, Evasion, and Damage stats.
For P2W Players:
• Invest in PvP-oriented stats once you have strong base gear.
• Craft items in towns for cheaper enhancement costs.
Some collection items expire, so use them wisely before they vanish.
10. Shop and Offline Tips
Always check the Shop for items purchasable with silver. Prioritize:
• Enhancement stones (for upgrading gear and collections).
• Skill books, which are essential for combat efficiency.
You can unlock more skill books via:
• Skill Book Shops in towns.
• Market purchases using tokens or currency.
Potions and basic repair services are also available in town — make sure to restock before long dungeon or mining sessions.
11. Growing CP Efficiently
Combat Power (CP) determines your strength and what content you can handle.
Tips to Increase CP Fast
• Level up consistently through EXP dungeons.
• Upgrade artifacts and complete main quests.
• Craft and equip rare gear early.
• Always use active buffs and temporary boosts.
• Join active guilds to benefit from guild buffs and shared stats.
Aim for 50,000 CP as an early milestone — this unlocks access to stronger farming zones and better rewards.
Final Thoughts
Legend of Ymir is rich with interconnected systems — leveling, artifacts, mining, quests, and dungeons all contribute to your power. Focus on leveling through EXP dungeons, complete your main and special quests, and don’t waste time mining emblems in the wrong place. Once you reach higher levels, start hunting world bosses and crafting rare gear to solidify your strength.
By following this beginner’s roadmap, you’ll build a powerful foundation for all the adventures Legend of Ymir has to offer.
