Hello, Soul Masters!
There’s just one day left before Soul Land: New World launches!
We can feel everyone’s excitement!
Even before the official release, many Soul Masters have already approached Sanpao, asking for recommendations for beginners.
So, here it is, a brand-new Sanpao Class with the Seven-Day Score Boost Plan series!
Let's jump straight into it with the first part.
Completing all Day 1 tasks will give regular players a rating of around 35,000-40,000.
Players aiming to quickly increase their rating can reach between 40,000-50,000.
Weekly/monthly/permanent limited packs in the shop are great deals, providing essential early-stage materials, soul cards, companions, Tang Sect Mind Methods, and related upgrade materials.
After completing all tasks, you can click on your avatar in the upper left corner, then click the small arrow next to the character's rating to check for any missed areas.
This article will introduce how to increase your rating through level, equipment, Tang Sect Mind Method, realm, soul rings, soul cards, companions, sect training, and Soul Land Celebrity. Players can check the respective sections for what they need.
Players can reach level 31 on the first day by completing the main story and some adventure quests.
Everyone who joins on the first day will be at the same level, so no need to worry about using too many resources.
There are many ways to obtain equipment and Tang Sect Mind Methods, which provide a significant boost and can cause a gap between players.
On Day 1, you can get equipment mainly from team instances in Shrek Academy (normal/hard), wild/world bosses, and treasure chests in the big world. You can also benefit from recharge rewards.
Players can equip up to three Mind Methods on Day 1, with a max level of 5.
There are multiple ways to obtain equipment, the main one being team dungeons (Shrek Academy);
You can also buy items through trading or open treasure chests in the big world.
It’s recommended to first challenge team instances, then purchase missing equipment from trading.
There are fewer ways to obtain orange Tang Sect Mind Methods on Day 1, and upgrade materials are limited.
You can get Mind Method upgrade materials through world exploration and opening treasure chests in the wild.
Players need to plan their resources and try to match as many same-color Mind Methods as possible.
Rare orange Tang Sect Mind Methods can also be obtained by reaching Silver Tier 1 in the Soul Fight/Inferno/Instance/Leisure rewards.
Here are some recommendations for necessary Mind Methods:
The higher the quality of the Mind Method, the higher the priority. However, it mainly depends on the type of mental energy it has.
For a DPS build, choose from Agility/Attack/Healing methods to form a 12+12 or 16+8 mental energy combination.
For non-DPS builds, choose Defense/Healing methods to form the same combination.
The first realm players will reach is Soul Master, which is completed through the main story.
Conditions to break through to Grand Soul Master: Soul Master level 20; Equip the second soul ring for the first time; Collect one Beginner Soul Master Certificate (obtained through the main story).
Conditions to break through to Grand Soul Master Level 2: Soul Master level 28; Reach Mimicry Training Level 10; Second soul ring must be at least 600 years old.
Conditions to break through to Soul Lord: Equip the third soul ring for the first time; Reach Mimicry Training Level 15; Collect two Beginner Soul Master Certificates.
The highest realm on the first day is Soul Lord Level 1. Players will easily meet the breakthrough conditions, and everyone will be on the same level in realms.
On the first day, players can level up to 30, and a new Soul Ring will unlock every 10 levels. Day 1 offers three Soul Rings, available through the Soul Hunting Forest and the first three stages of Team Soul Hunt.
Each stage in the Soul Hunting Forest gives a higher-quality Soul Ring than the previous one. In Team Soul Hunt, Soul Rings are of random quality.
The Soul Hunting Forest is a solo dungeon with no difficulty, allowing players to upgrade their first two Soul Rings to perfect quality on the first day.
Team Soul Hunt requires you to team up with another player, and it’s recommended to challenge the hardest stages.
Tips: You can use Blue Crystals to purchase extra Soul Hunting Forest/Team Soul Hunt attempts *5 per day. The first two cost 40 Blue Crystals, which can significantly help in the early stages.
It's recommended to buy at least two extra challenge attempts each day.
In Mimicry Training, you can acquire a lot of companion training materials.
Both companions and soul cards can significantly boost your rating, and you can obtain them through draws.
The first two breakthroughs of SSR-quality companions do not consume companion shards, saving you resources. As companions, they also provide additional buffs.
It’s recommended that players with the resources gather at least four SSR companions for the companion buff.
Recommended companions to raise: Liu Erlong, Ma Hongjun, Haotian Hammer Tang San, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai.
More specific companion recommendations will be available in future guides.
If you want to increase your rating quickly, equip more SSR-quality soul cards.
Recommended soul cards: All rare cards, Jing Ling, Yu Tianheng, Datura Snake, Tai Long, Ye Lingling.
Expect more recommendations in future guides.
On the first day, the sect training level cap is 9. It’s recommended to max out attack first, and then fill in the other stats as materials allow.
Max out sect training on Day 1 if possible. When the sect level and Spirit Pavillion upgrade, the sect training cap will increase.
Maxing it out early allows you to save resources and get ahead when the level cap increases.
Gifting orange affinity gifts gives an initial affinity of 40 points. If the gift is the scholar’s favorite, there’s a chance to get double points.
Anecdotes consume action stamina, which can increase a scholar’s affinity.
Increasing affinity raises your base stats, unlocks Celebrity soul cards, stories, and life skill bonuses.
The rating boost from Soul Land Celebrity is not too different between free-to-play and paying players, so progress will be similar for everyone.
Tang San’s 2-star affinity unlocks the story Blossom Witnessing the Vow, which is the fifth chapter of the Growth Journey.
It’s recommended that players boost Tang San’s affinity to 2 stars on the first day by gifting or completing anecdotes to finish The Promise Witnessed by Flowers.
