Lineage2.MS Beginner Guide: First Steps

Also searched as: newbie guide

A new Lineage2.MS character starts in its race's starting village, which has every NPC a beginner needs. Up to level 20 you do the village quests and hunt nearby; at 20 you take your 1st class, which is free on this server. 2-hour buffs, a shop with items up to B grade for adena and free teleports to towns are at the Mirabella NPC.

First steps

Pick a server: Moon x30 — a new season, opening on December 4, 2026, Classic client; Luna x10 — the permanent OLD server, Interlude or Classic client. The differences are in Lineage2.MS Servers and Rates.
The account is created on the website; its login and password are entered right in the game. The easiest way is the launcher: it downloads the client, installs the patch and starts the game. Downloads are at https://lineage2.ms/en/start.
Without the launcher, download one client; the site recommends Classic (about a 13 GB archive, no patch needed) and warns against extracting it into Program Files. On the game login screen, pick the proxy for your region to get a lower ping.: Ukraine, Europe, Baltic states — UA / EU; Russia, CIS, Asia — KZ / ASIA; Brazil, Latin America, USA — USA / BRASIL.
All characters start in the standard starting locations. Every starting location has all the NPCs a new character needs.
Find Mirabella: buffs, saved buff profiles, bonus buffs for Luna Plus subscribers; shop: items up to B grade for adena; other goods for Festival Adena, Event Coin and similar; free teleport to towns and some locations, including catacombs and necropolises.
Turn on .acp so potions are used automatically, and vote for the server (.vote): it gives the same rate bonus as a Luna Plus subscription.
Up to level 20, do your village quests — the list by race is below. The travel quest (levels 3–10) gives a Mark of Traveler and a Scroll of Escape to Giran.
From level 18, take your 1st class quest; on Lineage2.MS the 1st and 2nd class transfers are free — Interlude Class Transfer Quests: 1st, 2nd and 3rd Class.
Teleports are free up to level 40 on Luna x10, so use them while you can.
