Slayer progression order

First session steps

1. Create your character and read clan passives

   Load Slayers 2 (place 16205713724 by Ouw Productions). Finish character creation, then open the clan roll UI. Passives like EXP, drop luck, or damage compound early — a strong Legendary can beat a weak Mythic for the first hours. Start with a workable clan; optimize after you know which style you enjoy.

2. Roll and Save a clan

   Spins overwrite an unsaved clan. Legendary and higher warn before replace. Save early if the roll is usable, then read keep pairings on the clans page when your style or Demon build is set.

3. Redeem codes and claim the Book of Guidance

   Join the Ouw Productions Roblox group, then redeem active codes on the main menu. Before leaving Windy Peak, talk to Kona and finish Recover the Lost Pages (all five pages are in the village) to claim the Book of Guidance — it points you at recommended progression NPCs.

4. Buy a Regular Katana from Raze and follow the red dot

   Buy the Regular Katana (about 500 Wen) from Raze's Sword Shop in the center of Windy Peak so Sword Mastery starts immediately. Skip Fancy Katana (1,500 Wen) — the stat bump is tiny versus saving for Cutlass / forge upgrades. Set spawn at purple crystals near your grind and follow the minimap red dot.

5. Krue bandits to Zuko, then Betty's Gemstone at Lv10

   Levels 1–6: repeat Krue's defeat-three-Bandits quest. Level 7: take Krue's Mini Boss Zuko quest and farm the Cutlass (about 20% drop) plus Double Cut / Quick Draw. At Lv10, start Betty's quest on the Bamboo Grove cliff above the waterfall, then dive for her gemstone (details below) — finishing it ASAP can jump you toward Lv13.

6. Tom's bears, Skill Tree movement, then Breathing or Demon at Lv25

   Levels 13–18: Tom's bear-hunting and Mother Bear quests. Unlock Wall Climb and Double Jump first — they open trainer cliffs, exam traversal, and night travel for Muzan. You gain 3 Skill Points per level. Slayer: trainer at Lv25. Demon: about -40 reputation, then Muzan at night.

Zone leveling path

Follow the minimap red dot. Once multiple zones are open, rotate Zuko → Mother Bear → Kaiden.

Level up faster

• Stack main quests with side objectives on the same route — skip distant one-offs.
• Busier servers can boost quest EXP — compare the payout after a server hop, and judge by quests completed per minute.
• Boss kills pay a large EXP chunk plus drops; rotate Zuko → Mother Bear → Kaiden once those zones are open.
• Unlocking a quest does not make it your best grind — judge by successful clears, not respawn counts.
• Equip titles that grant Quest EXP (M → Titles). Up to three Titles equip for buffs; unlocked passives still apply.
• 2x EXP from the shop costs Wen or Ore — use when you are already on a dense farm route.

Skill Points

• Can't reach a trainer or exam ledge? Buy Wall Climb / Double Jump before another damage node.
• Keep dying before the fight ends? Invest in HP and block branches.
• Run out of stamina mid-combo? Shorten the string and check stamina nodes.
• Just unlocked Breathing? Bank points for your first useful techniques before spreading the rest.
• Character level ≠ mastery — swing the weapon and style you intend to keep.

Betty's Gemstone (Lv10)

1. Start Betty at Bamboo Grove (Lv10+)

   Betty stands on the cliff above the large waterfall overlooking Bamboo Grove — about 600 units left of Windy Peak when you leave spawn. On the minimap, stand just above the letter R in Grove. Her quest only starts at level 10.

2. Jump the waterfall and dive the left bank

   Drop from the top of Betty's waterfall, walk the left riverbank, pass the red bridge, and reach the rocky left-bank corner. Dive there — the gemstone is dark blue, two pyramids glued at the bases. Press T to pick it up (it does not auto-loot).

3. Rewards auto-complete

   Collecting the gem finishes the quest without returning to Betty — about 700 XP and 240 Wen. Done at Lv10, that payout can push you toward Lv13 quickly.

Early weapons and katana path

• Katanas come from shops, style-boss drops (~5%), and Hidden Mist crafts. Sword Mastery from your first blade carries forward.
• V2 / upgraded crafts need the base katana in inventory (Serpentine needs Serpent; Volcanic needs Flame; Tornadic needs Wind).
• Before Nightfall, Wind, Sound, and Flame boss drops are the strongest conventional blades you can farm.
• Nightfall Katana is the endgame raw-damage sword; Firstlight lines stay better all-rounders or style-locks (see Breathing / Nightfall).

Nightfall schematic routes and forge steps are on the Nightfall page.

Final Selection

From Mistfall Harbor, cross toward Butterfly Estate, take the long bridge south into Final Selection Plains, then follow northeast to Final Selection. Check the gate countdown in your server (exact repeat schedule is TBA) and be in the waiting area before entry closes.

Quest order inside

Completion awards Mizunoto rank, a Slayer Uniform, Ore, and a Kasugai Crow. Confirm rank and Crow before leaving — a dead Hand Demon is not always a finished quest.

Trainer unlocks are on Breathing.

After Final Selection

1. Equip the Crow and build mastery

   Follow Crow bounty quests alongside fights you can clear consistently. Character level, weapon/style mastery, and Slayer Progress are separate bars — raising one does not finish the others.

2. Unlock Ren's gourds at Butterfly Estate

   Return Ren's missing blade from near the waterfall to unlock his shop. Buy a gourd, equip it, and use it — inventory alone does nothing. Gourds raise Slayer Progress for permanent stats (exact prices TBA; read the shop and your bar).

3. Unlock Ginzo at Mistfall Harbor

   Return Ginzo's Jewelry Box from his house in Hidden Mist Village to open his sell shop. Sell expendable coin junk for training funds; keep crafting mats, spare Mythic gear, and weapons until you check upgrade recipes.

4. Visit Hidden Mist smiths, then the Forge later

   Togane handles upgrades and crafting; Yagane's armory sells Enryu, Shinkage, and Tengoku with Crude Iron Ingots — Equip for stats, Equip Vanity for looks only. At Lv65, start Togane's The Forge quest (Ouwigahara portal, recipes, Nightfall schematics) on the Nightfall page — do not farm mats until you read the craft you want.

Lv65 Forge quest, Ouwigahara portal, and Nightfall schematics: Nightfall.

Useful early Titles

Equip up to three Titles for buffs. Unlocked passives still apply when not equipped.

Fishing (optional)

1. Get the Fishing Permit at Mistfall Harbor

   Talk to Dockmaster Sofen at the docks, accept the lost permit stamp quest, cross the river to the nearby house, take the stamp from the table, and return it to Sofen.

2. Buy a rod

   Basic Rod costs about 3,500 Wen. Rare Rod costs about 10,000 Wen plus 5 Golden Fish. Fishing is optional early — skip it until Yen is not blocking weapons and Skill Tree nodes.

Beginner tips

• Bait-and-punish: wait for an opening, land a short sequence, then defend or reposition. Three safe hits beat seven that get interrupted.
• Buy Fast Travel shrines you actually revisit (Hidden Mist, Mistfall, Butterfly Estate, snow village) after training money is covered.
• Horse mount (~15,000 Wen + taming minigame around Bamboo Grove): Shift to run, double-tap Shift to gallop — travel upgrade, not required for Slayer rank.
• Kuro (Black Market) spawns near Mother Bear at night and leaves at dawn — check each night cycle.
• Spend Ore on purpose: 2x EXP, mastery boosts, Breathing / BDA resets, or clan spins.
• One upgrade goal per farm session — a technique, a craft, or a progression bar — beats random inventory clears.
• Snow route landmarks: Old Trapper Retsu at the second gate from the bear area, then Iceveil Guard Shiro near the purple spawn crystal uphill.
• If every NPC is missing on a private server, ask the owner to run /pve on — /pve off removes NPCs.

Common Slayer progression mistakes

• Skipping Betty's Gemstone at Lv10 when you are already at Bamboo Grove
• Buying Fancy Katana instead of farming Zuko's Cutlass
• Spinning over a good clan before you Save it
• Skipping Kona's Lost Pages / Book of Guidance before leaving Windy Peak
• Reaching a trainer without mats or Wall Climb
• Confusing character level with weapon / Breathing mastery
• Spending every Skill Point before checking the next Breathing unlock
• Choosing hard content just because the quest unlocked
• Entering Final Selection at 45 with no practiced moves or Bandage money
• Leaving Final Selection before The Sisters turn-in / Crow confirm
• Treating Final Selection as the finish line — Crow, Slayer Progress, and Lv65 Forge still matter
• Equip Vanity only and wondering why stats did not change
• Pasting Part 1 codes expecting Slayers 2 rewards
