i recently started playing

To preface this anyone reading this may look at my account and see that my account has been registered for 600+ days this is because i registered my account that long ago when somebody told me about it

Anyway as i have said i recently started playing and was wondering what the best way to level up and get better would be, i have heard some people talk about attacking higher levels that have low stats and such but i am just wondering what i should do here to make my time worth it

Welcome!

Attack and 'Leave' players with higher level than you to level up fast. I'd say take your time though, getting to Lvl15 opens up all the games features, but it's a game, SO MAKE SURE TO HAVE FUN.

Baldr's guide is what most players read to learn the basics, although really you can make own playstyle. This game has sprawled far larger than the creator expected so try out a few things and see what sticks.
I recommend starting with the missions, then find a faction and then keep on reading guides and see what side of the game interests you.

In general, the best way to go about it is getting level 15 so that you can fly back and forth to make money on plushies (unless you want to dedicate a lot of time and go about other ways to make money.)

A good guide to follow when you're starting (again) is Baldr's advice. It has a good list of levelling targets that you can use to get level 15 as quick as possible.

Start training as soon as you're 15 though, so you can rack up stats and kill more targets during Halloween. There's an event starting on the 25th of October where you can make relatively a lot of money. Especially since, I assume, you have more refills you can use because of your inactivity. Perhaps good to read up on a couple of Halloween threads and see how you can spend your treats through guides.

Thanks for the reply, i had about 80 refills when i came back from my inactivity and i have about 40 now with a decent amount of stats (i think?) but i didnt know there was going to be a halloween event so thank you for the information, i hope i enjoy my time here

Welcome back!

-Get each battle stat near 100 (keep equally as possible)

-Attack innactive target's founded here

-Join a faction

-At level 15 rent pi and profit out of your flight's.
