==General Information==
This is a specialized guide for quickly leveling existing mules for A.M.A.N trove from 1 to 99.  This guide makes the assumption that you either have an alternate account for power leveling your mule, or that you have a really good friend to help you.   Using this guide you can get a mule from 1 to 99 without doing any nation/rhapsody missions, and without a subjob in about 10 hours (much less if an exp boost campaign is active).

==Preparing your power leveler==
The power level account should have:
* a [[BLU]] geared for magic AoE cleaving.  
* a [[COR]] (just for Bolter & Corsair rolls).
* [[RDM]] and [[THF]] subjob
I would also recommend using login points to buy sets of [[Seasoning Stone]]s, [[Fossilized Fang]]s, and [[Fossilized Bone]]s - to make [[Olde Rarab Tail]]s for the final limit break, just to speed things up.  These items stack.  Make one tail per mule you plan to level up to 99.

Start the process by switching job to [[COR]]/[[RDM]].

==Preparing your mule (estimated 30 minutes)==
If this is a mule you have had for a while, the very likely it will have a stack of [[Copper Voucher]]s and hopefully a [[Mog Pell (Green)]], and a [[Mog Pell (Red)]].
*All of my mules are based in Windhurst, so I will use that as the point of reference for the remainder of the guide.

===Unity Accolades, Silt, Conquest points===
Use the closest Spark NPC to convert your collected copper vouchers into various points.
*Spark NPCs are located here:
**[[Rolandienne]] in [[Southern San d'Oria]] (G-10)
**[[Isakoth]] in [[Bastok Markets]] (E-11)
**[[Fhelm Jobeizat]] in [[Windurst Woods]] (J-10)
**[[Eternal Flame]] in [[Western Adoulin]] (H-11)
*Trade [[Copper Voucher]]s to obtain 6000 Conquest points for the warp and experience points ring.

===Rings & Warps===
Obtain as many experience boosting and warp items as possible.

[[File:Warp Ring description.png]]
[[File:Empress Band description.png]]<br />
If the mule has at least 6 copper vouchers, exchange them for conquest points.
Using conquest points, talk to the [[Conquest]] NPC and purchase a [[Warp Ring]], and a [[Empress Band]].
*Also purchase a [[Warp Cudgel]] from the AH.<br />

[[File:Warp Cudgel description.png]]<br />

*If you have a [[Mog Pell (Green)]], use it to obtain the [[Duodec. Ring]].
[[File:Duodec. Ring description.png]]<br />
*If you have an [[Echad Ring]] already, send it do your delivery box, and get a second [[Echad Ring]] using a [[Mog Pell (Red)]].
[[File:Echad Ring description.png]]<br />
*If you have a least 1260 login points, purchase a [[Caliber Ring]] for 1000 login points. (You will need 260 login points to complete the limit breaks, so do not buy this ring if you are low on points.)
[[File:Caliber Ring description.png]]<br />
*If it is a new mule with no access to any of the experience point rings, purchase a few  [[Resolution Ring]]s if available.
[[File:Resolution Ring description.png]]<br />

===Limit Break Items===
You will need the following items to progress through the limit breaks. Use your login points and/or [[Mog Pell (Green)]] to obtain them.<br />

[[File:Kindred's Seal description.png]] '''<big>X 9</big>'''
* You will need 9 [[Kindred's Seal]]s - this can be obtained with 90 login points.  (You can also obtain these by trading a [[Mog Pell (Silver)]] or [[Mog Pell (Red)]] to the [[Festive Moogle]].)
[[File:Kindred's Crest description.png]] '''<big>X 16</big>'''
* You will need 16 [[Kindred's Crest]]s - this can be obtained with 160 login points. (You can also obtain these by trading a [[Mog Pell (Silver)]] or [[Mog Pell (Red)]] to the [[Festive Moogle]].)
[[File:Seasoning Stone description.png]] '''<big>X 1</big>'''
* You will need a [[Seasoning Stone]] - this can be obtained with 10 login points.

===Job===
Change the mule's job to [[WHM]].  This is important for clearing the level 75 limit break without having any magic skill or access to trusts.

===Spells===
Obtain the following spells:
* [[Regen III]]
* [[Protect IV]]
* [[Cure V]]

These are the only spells needed to win the Maat [[WHM]] [[Shattering Stars]] Limit break quest.

===WHM Testimony===
Farm a [[Whm. Testimony]] from [[Goblin Alchemist]] in [[Cape Teriggan]].  This can be done any time between now and level 70.
*Take the Unity Warp 128 > '''[[Cape Teriggan]]'''

===Gil & other items===
Trade your mule 30k in gil, a stack of [[Remedy]]s, three stacks of [[Silent Oil]]s, and a three stacks of [[Prism Powder]].

===Moghancement: Bounty===
If your mule has a [[Vana'clock]] from one of the prior login campaigns, layout this item as furniture in your mog house to activate [[Moghancement: Bounty]] for a 10% experience bonus.

===Records of Eminence - Unlocking access to Unity Warps===
In order to access the critical Unity Warps, you must first complete 10 [[Records of Eminence]] quests.
If your mule is based in Windhurst, I recommend the following fast and easy RoEs, but of course you can pick any 10.  (Just a note that the Vana'Versary RoEs do not count as part of the ten required to unlock unity warps.)
* Tutorial > Basics > First Step Forward
* Tutorial > Basics > Vanquish One Enemy
* Tutorial > Basics > Undertake a FoV Training Regime
* Tutorial > Basics > Heal Without Using Magic
* Tutorial > Basics > Assist Channel
* Tutorial > Synthesis > Speak to Weavers' Guild Master (Speak to Ponono in Windurst Woods (G‑12)) - Completing this unlocks the next RoE.
* Tutorial > Synthesis > Weaving: Headgear - Synthesize a Headgear the requisite number of times. (You can purchase [[Cloth. Kit 5]] from [[Meriri]] in Windurst Woods - (F-12) for 300 gil.)  This synth uses a Wind Crystal.
* Tutorial > Synthesis > Speak to Boneworkers' Guild Master (Speak to [[Peshi Yohnts]] in Windurst Woods (H‑12)) - Completing this unlocks the next RoE.
* Tutorial > Synthesis > Boneworking: Shell Powder  - Synthesize Shell Powder the requisite number of times.  (You can purchase [[Bone. Kit 5]] from [[Retto-Marutto]] in Windurst Woods - (H-13) for 300 gil.) This synth uses a Wind Crystal.
* Fishing > General > Speak to Fisherman's Guild Master - Speak to Thubu Parohren in Port Windurst (C-8).

Additionally, set all of the limit break RoEs.
* Level Cap Increase > Level Cap Increase: 55
* Level Cap Increase > Level Cap Increase: 60
* Level Cap Increase > Level Cap Increase: 65
* Level Cap Increase > Level Cap Increase: 70
* Level Cap Increase > Level Cap Increase: 75
* Level Cap Increase > Level Cap Increase: 80
* Level Cap Increase > Level Cap Increase: 85
* Level Cap Increase > Level Cap Increase: 90
* Level Cap Increase > Level Cap Increase: 95

And set the RoEs for mobs in Escha Zi'tah. (Note - you wont be able to set these until you zone into Escha Zi'tah)
* Combat (Escha 1) > Conflict: Escha - Zi'Tah IV
* Combat (Escha 1) > Conflict: Escha - Zi'Tah V
* Combat (Escha 1) > Conflict: Escha - Zi'Tah VI

==Level 1 to 50 (1 hour)==
[[File:AMANTrove2.png]]

Once the power level account and mule have been prepared, it is time to start leveling.
* You must still level using the traditional method to Lvl 3 in order to trigger the RoV CS granting you access to Escha ZiTah.
* Start taking the [[Unity Warp]] 119 -> Qufim Island with both the mule and power level account.
* Use [[Prism Powder]] and [[Silent Oil]] on mule.
* Use Bolter's roll, and have the mule follow the power level to Qufim Island Home Point #1: (G-8), Near the Undulating Confluence.
* Make sure the mule grabs this HP.
Take mule and power level into Escha Zitah through the Undulating Confluence.
*Use Bolter's roll again.
*Get the [[Mollifier]] key item on power level account
*Use [[Prism Powder]] and [[Silent Oil]] on mule.
*Escort mule to Conflux #2, near the Dragon/Puk camp.
*Before you leave, give your mules a full strength Corsair's roll
Once the mule has Conflux #2, warp the power level account only and change job to [[BLU]]/[[COR]].
*For trusts, use [[Star Sibyl]], [[Ferreous Coffin]] (to raise mule if he dies), [[Kupofried]], and any other desired trusts.
*Roll Corsair's Roll on your [[BLU]]/[[COR]]
*Start using your experience rings on your mule.  As soon as one runs out, use another.
Have your mule follow Star Sibyl.  Then just start collecting 3-10 mobs at a time and nuking them down.  Since your mule is always near by you do not have to worry about collecting a huge number of mobs.  Just collect a few, nuke a few.  Just use whatever BLU cleave style you are comfortable with.  Once a high enough level, have mule sneak/invisible himself to prevent agro while cleaving.
*Once your mule reaches level 50, warp out of Escha Zitah and head to the closest Unity Warp NPC.
*'''Make sure the mule's Experience points are capped before warping''' - this will enable you to do two limit breaks back to back.

*Change job on power level account to [[COR]]/[[THF]]

#Take the Unity Warp 125 > '''[[Garlaige Citadel]]''' on both mule and power leveler.  The mule can stay put.  <br />The power level account goes to farm [[Bomb Coal]] by killing [[Explosure]]s.  [[Explosure]]s in Garlaige Citadel are located on Map 2 past Banishing Gate 1.  <br />Once the mule has a [[Bomb Coal]], warp out and head back to the Unity Warp NPC.
#Take the Unity Warp 125 > '''[[Batallia Downs]]''' on both mule and power leveler.  <br />Zone into [[Upper Jeuno]] and get the HP at the entrance, then zone back out.  <br .>Use Bolter's roll and run to [[The Eldieme Necropolis]] at I-10.  Once inside, the mule can stay put.  The power level account goes to farm [[Ancient Papyrus]] by killing [[Lich]]s.  <br />[[Lich]]s in Eldieme Necropolis all located around the outer square of the first map.  Once the mule has an [[Ancient Papyrus]], warp out and head back to the Unity Warp NPC.
#Take the Unity Warp 125 > '''[[Rolanberry Fields]]''' on both mule and power leveler.  The mule can stay put.  <br />The power level account goes to farm [[Exoray Mold]] by killing [[Exoray]]s.  [[Exoray]]s are near by in a few rooms - just use widescan to find them.  <br />Once the mule has an [[Exoray Mold]], warp out and head to Maat in [[Ru'Lude Gardens]].

*Take the HP to Upper Jueno you got in step #2 above.  <br />(If you forgot, take the Unity Warp 125 > Battila Downs.  This puts you near Upper Jeuno.   Zone into Upper Jeuno, and grab the HP.)
*Head to [[Ru'Lude Gardens]] (grab all the HPs along the way) and head to Maat to start Limit break 50: 
*[[In Defiant Challenge]].

*After talking to Maat and trading the items you collected you will complete Level cap 55, and the RoE for completing this quest gives you 300 experience points, which levels you up to Level 51 if you were capped.  This enables you to immediately start the next level cap quest: 
*[[Atop the Highest Mountains]].
**Take the Unity Warp 125 > '''[[Xarcabard]]'''.  Sneak & Invisible the mule, use Bolters, and head to the three spots to complete the quest [[Atop the Highest Mountains]].
*Once completed warp out and head back to Maat in [[Ru'Lude Gardens]].  Talk to Maat again to complete the level cap 60.

==Level 51 to 60==

Have mule sneak/invisible himself to prevent agro while cleaving.
*Once your mule reaches level 60, warp out of Escha - Zi'Tah and head Maat at [[Ru'Lude Gardens]].
*'''Make sure the mule's Experience points are capped before warping''' - this will enable you to do two limit breaks back to back.

* Talk to Maat to start the limit break 65 - by all accounts the most annoying limit break quest, [[Whence Blows the Wind]].
* Change job on power level account to [[COR]]/[[RDM]].  Bring a stack of [[Remedy]].
**Take Unity Warp 122 > '''[[Jugner Forest]]'''.   Escort mule to Davoi, and follow directions in [[Whence Blows the Wind]] for the Orcish Crest.  Hopefully the power level account already has the [[Crimson orb]].  If not perform the necessary steps to obtain it.
**Take Unity Warp 122 > '''[[Pashhow Marshlands]]'''.   Escort mule to Beadeaux, and follow directions in [[Whence Blows the Wind]] for the Quadav Crest.  Hopefully the power level account already has the [[Silver bell]], [[Coruscant rosary]], and [[Black matinee necklace]] key item.  If not perform the necessary steps to obtain them.
**Take Unity Warp 122 > '''[[Meriphataud Mountains]]'''.   Escort mule to Castle Oztroja, and follow directions in [[Whence Blows the Wind]] for the Yagudo Crest.  Hopefully the power level account already has the [[Yagudo torch]] key item.  If not perform the necessary steps to obtain it.
*Once the mule has all 3 crests, warp and return to Maat in [[Ru'Lude Gardens]]. Complete the level 65 Level cap quest.
*After talking to Maat you complete Level cap 65, the RoE for completing this quest gives you 300 experience points, which levels you up to Level 61 if you were capped. This enables you to immediately start the next level cap quest, [[Riding on the Clouds]].
**Completing [[Riding on the Clouds]] requires talking to NPCs in each of the starting cities, and also either Selbina or Mhaura.
**If the Super Kupower "Ease of Exploration is active, use the [[Explorer Moogle]] to move the mule around to the various cities quickly.  Otherwise use the level 99 Unity warps to escort the mule to the various cities to complete this quest.
*Once [[Riding on the Clouds]] is completed, head back to Escha - Zi'tah for 10 more levels.

==Level 61 to 70==

** Take the Unity Warp 128 > '''[[Cape Teriggan]]'''
* Head Maat at [[Ru'Lude Gardens]]
* Talk to Maat to start the limit break 75 - the WHM Maat fight [[Shattering Stars]].
* Warp to the BC.  
* Before starting the fight, zone out of the BC area, grab the HP, then zone back in.
* In order to beat Maat on [[WHM]], you need to survive for 5 minutes.
* To prepare for the fight, use [[Protect IV]], [[Shell IV]], [[Blink]], [[Aquaveil]], [[Stoneskin]], [[Regen III]].  Engage Maat then run away and simple kite Maat around the circle.  If you get paralyzed or silenced used a remedy.  Maat has a predictable cycle of melee/chasing you for a while, then he stops to cast a magic spell.  Use the time he is casting magic to stop yourself and use either Regen III, Remedy, or Cure III to keep yourself alive.  If you get into a pinch you and use Benediction to restore you HP.

'''Good luck with your A.M.A.N Trove drops!!!'''

P.S.  If you plan on using these mules during the "easy" [[Ambuscade]] months as well, consider doing the following additional tasks:
*Get a [[Tenshodo Invite]] (available on AH usually) and complete the [[Tenshodo Membership]] quest.  Once inside, click on the red treasure box and select the bottom option to get a [[Nexus Cape]] (this assumes that you have content IDs for the 3 mini-addons for this account).  The [[Nexus Cape]] is very useful in dragging mules to the far flung survival guides or HPs required for [[Ambuscade]] KIs.
*Start the quest [[The Road to Aht Urhgan]], by talking to Faursel at (J-8) of the [[Tenshodo]].  You must select the blank option at the bottom twice.   Select Advanced, and the option to pay him 500,000 for access to Whitegate, needed for some Ambuscade KI spots.  After one game day, talk to him again and he will warp you to [[Wajaom Woodlands]].
*Speak with Goldagrik in Lower Jeuno at H-9 (Inside Muckvix's Junkshop) to begin MMM.  He will give you the starter Maze Tabula, Voucher, and Runes.   Then use the Maze right away to enter MMM to start your CC timer.  This will eventually enable you to use this mule to perform MMM 1 hour resets, once you collect enough marbles (100) to purchase [[Maze Voucher 09]].   It takes 3 CC points to use the maze for 1 hour resets with Voucher 09.
