A good place to train your swordy is in the sphinx, but make sure you have potions at hand and bash is also good ^_^

I think Payon Caves level 1 should do you some good. Just make sure you are near an area with people there, in case a mob of zombies and familiars go after you, so you can ask for help or throw the monsters on them. xP

Culverts 1,2 : Thief Bug Land - To get this place unlocked, go to the North west (top left) of Prontera, enter the knight guild (chivaly) and talk to the guide NPC (First NPC on left as you walk in) tell him you want to sign up and he will give you some potions and "unlock" the culverts entrance and warp you there. - If you die in Culverts, and you will, to go back to Culverts, simply walk out the West (left) gate of Prontera, and keep walking in a straight line to your left (West) and talk to the guard to re enter. - Obviously saving in Prontera is a wise decision - Thief bugs and female thief bugs are helpers (Mobbers), meaning if you attack one, any other thief bugs on screen will come to kill you, unless you kill the thief bug in one hit. From Prontera, exit the South (down) exit, and go down 1 map, and on the desert map, take the right (East) exit (located in the middle of the map). on this map are Porings, Drops and Poporings, your main targets for leveling. but also on this map are Angeling and Ghostring, two minibosses that can kill you in 1-4 hits, so carry fly wings to escape Poison Spores (Geffen Dungeon) In Geffen go to the Center of the town (it's a flipping circle) and enter the building, keep walking till you see a map in the right hand upper corner of your screen

You sould use a +9/+10 triple saharic stiletto and go to byalan.
