Sailor Piece Beginner Guide (April 2026)
A structured progression path from Level 1 to Level 500 that avoids the three most common new-player mistakes: rerolling too early, skipping early-game codes, and ignoring the trainer quests that gate your first Mythical sword. If you follow this in order, you'll reach a meta-competitive mid-game build in roughly 10–15 hours of play.

Phase 1 — Levels 1 to 100: learn the map, don't reroll
Spawn in, run the opening tutorial, and for the next 1–2 hours focus on exploring the map and unlocking spawn points. Sailor Piece spawns you at the first island, but subsequent islands unlock as you defeat that island's gatekeeper NPC. You want every spawn point unlocked before you start seriously grinding — back-tracking for 20 minutes to reach a quest giver kills progress momentum.
Critical early-game actions:
- Redeem every active code on the Codes page. The starter bundle typically covers ~10 Rerolls and 1–2 Aura Crates — free acceleration.
- Buy a basic sword from the Katana seller on the first island. Even the starter Katana outperforms fist-only combat.
- Talk to every NPC you pass. Some are silent trainers that unlock later progression gates — if you haven't spoken to them by Level 100, you can't start their quest line at Level 300.
Don't spend any Reroll items yet. Your clan / race / trait bonuses stack as percentages on your base damage, and your base damage is tiny below Level 100. A +40% damage clan at Level 50 produces negligible kill-speed improvement compared to just hitting Level 70.
Phase 2 — Levels 100 to 300: first reroll pass
By Level 100 your stats scale meaningfully with percentage buffs. Now is the time to spend your accumulated Rerolls. Priority order (backed by the math in our reroll priority guide):
- Trait first. Aim for any Epic-or-better trait in your first 10–15 Trait Rerolls. Mythical traits are a stretch but possible — see the Reroll Simulator for realistic attempt counts.
- Race second. Any race above Human is an upgrade. Fishman's EXP boost pays back the reroll cost within an hour if you roll into it mid-grind.
- Clan third. The difference between a Common clan and Yamato or Voldigoat is significant, but Clan Rerolls are rarer, so this tier slot is allowed to lag.
Keep your expectations calibrated: if you spend 20 Trait Rerolls and land on an Epic trait rather than a Mythical, that's a good result — the mean attempts to first Mythical sits around 100. Don't cash every reroll attempting a specific named entry; target the broad "any Mythical" until you're past Level 500 and genuinely min-maxing.
Phase 3 — Levels 300 to 500: your first sword quest
Around Level 300 you unlock access to trainer NPCs that give you real weapons. The progression path most new players take:
- ~Level 300: Katana → Dark Blade from the Dark Blade seller. Decent bump in M1 damage.
- ~Level 400: Start grinding Boss Tickets. 65 of them exchange for Saber, a solid Legendary stepping-stone.
- ~Level 500: Unlock the first Mythical trainer (Aizen, Shadow, or Sung Jin Woo depending on your map progression). Completing a trainer quest gives you a proper Mythical sword that holds up until late game.
Two parallel grinds worth running during this phase:
- Accessory farming. Every major boss drops an accessory at ~5% per kill. Even E0 (base) accessories provide +40% defense and +25% damage — worth slotting. The Accessories list shows which boss drops which accessory.
- Aura Crates. Save Gems and crate drops for the 1–2 weeks around a major patch when drop tables shift.
What not to do
The three biggest new-player mistakes, in descending impact order:
- Rerolling for a specific Mythical before Level 300. You'll burn through a 30-stack chasing Celestial or Shadowborn and hit Level 300 with an empty inventory and still no hit. Target broad rarities first; narrow your target once you're past Level 500.
- Selling / discarding Accessories below Legendary. Epic accessories still provide meaningful buffs at E0 and are enchantable up to E5. Keep everything you drop until your inventory forces a cleanup.
- Ignoring codes for weeks. Sailor Piece codes expire. A week's worth of un-redeemed codes is usually 3–5 Rerolls and 1–2 Aura Crates lost forever. Check the Codes page every time you log in.
