Eternium ANB Platinum: How to Hit Level 70 and Trial 100 Fast

To reach hero level 70 and push toward Trial 100 within roughly 30 minutes of event time in Eternium's A New Beginning (ANB) Platinum league, leave the story campaign as soon as trials unlock, purchase an Experience Booster, and complete your inventory management exclusively in town. Because ANB Platinum features a restrictive active play clock, any time spent idling inside combat maps directly reduces your capacity to push higher trials.

Managing the ANB Platinum Event Timer

The active event timer runs only while your character is inside a combat zone, story stage, or trial arena. Returning to the main town hub pauses the countdown immediately.

To preserve active combat minutes:

Perform all inventory sorting, gear salvaging, gemstone socketing, and crafting inside the town hub.
Collect trial completion chests promptly and open the town portal rather than lingering near the exit.
Review skill descriptions, assign ability upgrades, and plan crafting recipes while the timer is paused in town.

Zone / Action	Timer Status	Priority in Hub or Map
Main Town Hub	Paused	Crafting, salvaging, socketing, and skill management
Early Campaign Maps	Active (Drains Clock)	Clear only the minimum stages required to unlock trials
Active Trial Runs	Active (Drains Clock)	Herd mob packs, spawn the boss quickly, and exit
Post-Boss Chest Looting	Active (Drains Clock)	Pick up major rewards and return to town immediately

Transitioning from Story to Trial Leveling

Complete only the earliest story stages in Act I necessary to unlock basic ability slots and acquire starting companions such as Marcus and Eileen. Once the Trial portal unlocks, stop running campaign missions entirely.

Trials feature significantly higher monster density and faster experience scaling than story maps:

Early trial enemies die quickly to basic area-of-effect (AoE) abilities, allowing you to fill the boss gauge in under a minute.
Higher trial tiers unlock consecutively with each successful clear, granting substantial jumps in base experience.
Leapfrogging through successive trial tiers yields several character levels per clear, bringing you to level 70 with minimal clock expenditure.

Gem Priority for Free-to-Play Runners

Free-to-play accounts must reserve gems for high-impact progression upgrades rather than convenience purchases or gold.

Experience Booster: Purchase an Experience Booster (ideally 200%) before beginning trial runs. This maximizes the return on high-density trial packs.
Third Ability Slot: Unlock your utility and secondary damage slots early to maintain fast AoE clear rates.
Companion Slots: Open companion slots to access active crowd-control skills, such as Marcus's stun and Eileen's vortex.
Ability Research Slot: Unlock an extra upgrade slot so primary damage abilities rank up concurrently while you level.
Purchases to Avoid: Do not spend gems on gold bundles, standard chests, or cosmetic options.

Mid-Level Crafting and Stat Targets

World drops often fail to keep pace with rapid trial scaling. Visit the town crafting vendor periodically to craft inexpensive green or blue gear pieces that target essential leveling stats.

Level Bracket	Target Attributes	Crafting Objective
Levels 1–50	Extra Experience, Power	Low-cost green or blue gear rolled for bonus XP
Levels 50–69	Power, Haste, Critical Rating	Regular weapon upgrades to maintain base damage
Level 70 Milestone	Critical Damage, Ability Rate	Transition to purple gear and set pieces

Between levels 50 and 69, craft a new weapon every five to ten levels. Because skill damage scales directly from base weapon damage, falling behind on weapon tiers prolongs boss encounters and consumes excess clock time.

Pushing to Trial 100 Post-Level 70

Reaching hero level 70 unlocks Champion Levels (CL). Allocate early Champion points directly into Movement Speed, Power, and Critical stats to accelerate map clear speeds.

To push through higher tiers toward Trial 100:

Herd enemy groups: Do not stop to attack isolated enemies. Run forward through the map, gather multiple packs together, and burst them down with clustered AoE attacks.
Track the summon gauge: Keep advancing and clearing dense packs until the boss meter fills completely.
Rotate companion skills on bosses: Isolate the boss, avoid ground telegraphs, and trigger companion crowd-control abilities in sequence to eliminate the target quickly.
Skip tiers when eligible: Finishing trials significantly faster than the target time permits tier skipping, allowing you to bypass intermediate levels on your route to Trial 100.
