Project Slayers 2 Beginner’s Guide

Recorded in the early-access build — level gates, prices and quest names have been retuned since, so re-check them in the live client.

• The clan roll is at the start: you pick a clan at character creation before any real play, then grab your first katana at the beginner village.
• Bandits open the leveling: the route beats bandits up to roughly level 10–15, then points at a boss around level 7 to farm — an early, repeatable source of levels before the breathing gate.

• Breathing unlocks at level 25: the run lays out the early gates (10, then 18, then 25) and notes that a breathing style only becomes available once you reach 25.
• Trainers are gated by demon horns: each breathing trainer asks for a different amount, with one style needing only about ten horns while others ask for roughly thirty — a one-run reading, so confirm the count on the trainer before you farm.

• Max the skill tree first: the walkthrough recommends pouring points into the skill tree before anything else, since later levels also pay out more currency to spend.
• Level bands to plan around: it breaks the grind into early (roughly 1–10), a mid checkpoint near 26, then the 40-plus stretch where the build comes online — useful for pacing a first character.

A level-by-level guide recorded two days before launch that runs well beyond the level 25 breathing-style gate this site documents from the first playtests.

Three starter quests are gates, not options

The gate ladder after 25

Forging V2 weapons and the endgame set chase

The level 65 forge quest in the ladder above is the door to the endgame, and a post-launch forging guide by Mizurri walks the whole loop. Its first correction is to the route: the NPC that unlocks forging sits in the Hidden Mist Village, and his quest — not the harbour walk alone — is what opens the second forge. The same NPC converts duplicate mythic items into Mythic Refinement Ore, which is the bottleneck every V2 recipe shares.

• What a V2 recipe asks for: 10 Mythic Refinement Ore, 500 Metal Scrap and 300 Silk Thread, plus 90,000 dungeon points— a second published guide (Roonby, September 19) names the points explicitly, which resolves the "90k" the video left ambiguous. The ore is the one to start collecting early: it costs 30,000 points each from the dungeon vendor, or comes free from dismantling mythic-quality gear once Denzo's recycling quest is done, which is the cheaper road if you already have dupes.
• V2 is not the end of the ladder: crafting a V2 weapon at the dungeon forge unlocks its V3 recipe back at the main-world blacksmith, and a V3 asks for 1,000,000 cash, 1,000 Silk Thread, 1,000 Metal Scrap and the matching V2 weapon. The schematic, not the materials, is what gates most players, and the published routes are scattered: the Nightfall katana is a swim-and-climb behind the waterfall, the First Light katana and spear share one hidden chamber under a statue in the snow region, and the Nightfall gauntlets want three statues activated — one with a katana, one with a demon orb, one with bare fists — before the NPC hands the schematic over.
• First Light or Nightfall? The two endgame lines are built differently rather than one being strictly better: First Light is the Sentinel line with extra blocking, Nightfall is the Duelist line with extra damage, so the pick is a playstyle decision.
• Which katana to aim for first:the V2 elemental katanas (reverb cleavers, seismic axe, serpentine, thundercloud, tidal, tornado, volcanic) all sit below the late sets, and Volcanic is called the best of them because of its scaling — but First Light and, above all, Nightfall replace it once their schematics are found.
• Dungeon cards beat dungeon gear at the start: the run recommends stacking pure damage, damage reduction and cooldown cards, taking Lucky Draw whenever it appears and Vampiric for healing, and skipping anything that disables blocking or dashing. Bosses land every ten floors and are described as easy until the floors get high.
• Schematic hunting is a route, not a grind:the run visits First Light and Nightfall schematic sites across the ice region and the caves below the settlements, including one behind a lever puzzle that the creator finds mid-recording — which is the honest state of that hunt right now, since no complete lever map has been published.

Mizurri (September 19, 2026), transcribed from the video captions. Material counts, the 90k figure and the level gate are one run's reading of the live client rather than a developer table, and the creator notes that some Nightfall schematics — the sickles in particular — were still undiscovered at the time of recording.

Where the Wen actually comes from

The forging ladder above ends somewhere expensive — a V3 recipe asks for 1,000,000 cash and a mount costs 15,000 Wen— so the honest question a new account asks is where that money is supposed to come from. One clarification the site had been missing: Wen and dungeon points are different currencies. The dungeon vendor is paid in points, so the ore the recipe needs is not bought with cash, and Wen needs its own farm. This is the only released-build run that documents one.

• The money is in a quest rotation, not in killing mobs: accept every boss quest your rotation offers and run them in a loop. The quest tiers are level-gated — the harder tier opens at level 125— and the tier you accept changes the payout by several times over, which is why the same method earns little before that gate and a lot after it.
• The drops are worth more than the kills: each boss in the rotation drops coin pouches that sold for 750 each at launch and 1,000 eachafter the first balance patch, typically around three per kill, on top of the quest payout — so the pouches are the larger half of the income from a single boss, and the patch inflated that half. Anything you pick up on the way is sellable too.
• Damage is the only multiplier:the creator is explicit that clear speed is what sets the hourly rate, and their own figures move by multiples depending on whether a boss takes a minute or half of one. The ordering is the takeaway — a damage build first, then rotation discipline — because the recording restates its own hourly estimates inconsistently and they come from a non-maxed account.
• Farm it in a private server: the pouches and quest payouts are described as unchanged in a private server, while the thing you give up is the public-server EXP bonus. If the goal is cash rather than levels, that trade is described as free.
• Arena is the second route and not ready yet: it scales with your level, so it needs a maxed character before it is worth comparing, and the creator notes it is thin right now because too few players queue.

Mizurri (September 20, 2026), transcribed from the video captions. This is one player's routing on a non-maxed account, and the only figures reproduced above are the ones spoken clearly — the pouch price and the quest-tier level gate. The hourly totals are deliberately left out because the creator restates them differently several times in the same recording, which is what an estimate sounds like rather than what a table looks like.
