¶ Level 1 - 100, <2k stamina
At earlier levels, you may not want to spend as much gold on buffs. At the same time, gear is typically good enough to 1-hit enemies.
| Leveling Buff | Where to find | Notes |

Generally level 150 is enough. If you do use a higher level buff, deactivate it towards the end of your hunt to continue leveling a little more. |

¶ Using the Buff Market
As we don't have a dedicated guild buffer at the moment, it's recommended that you obtain buffs from the Buff Market. It is often cheaper, faster, and saves the stamina of guildmates. If you are short on gold to purchase buffs, ask!
To use the Buff Market simply search for a skill, and choose a seller. Sometimes you may find great deals on packages, so keep an eye out!
