The Mentoring System is a great way to level up in Lineage II!Characters level 1 and higher can arrange a Mentoring contract with a character on the same server that is Awakened.

Who Can Be a Mentor or a Mentee?To be eligible to become a Mentor, a character must be Awakened. Mentees are characters who are below level 86 and who have a Mentee Certificate. A Mentee cannot also be a Mentor. A Mentor can take on a maximum of three Mentees at the same time. A Mentee can only have one Mentor. How to Get a Mentee CertificateCurrently, the Mentee Certificate is only available through the level 40 item pack in the Path to Awakening, but we may offer another way to obtain it in the future. - Level up a character to level 40.
- Upon reaching level 40, visit the Path to Awakening page and log in. You can do this without logging out of the game.
- Select the server and character that reached level 40.
- At the bottom of the page, click Claim Reward on the line for Level 40. Please note that characters that reached level 40 before Goddess of Destruction launched are not eligible to receive the Level 40 pack from the Path to Awakening.
- In-game, take your level 40 character to a Dimensional Merchant NPC in any major town. They are listed on the town map for easy finding.
- Talk to the Dimensional Merchant and click onRetrieve a Dimensional Item.
- You will see a list of the items you claimed from the Path to Awakening. Click on the Mentee Certificateto retrieve it.
Creating a Mentoring ContractMentee Instructions: Only an aspiring Mentor can initiate a Mentoring Contract. Characters that are looking to become a Mentee can advertise that they are looking for a Mentor by shouting in a town, asking their clan, or posting on the forums. Once you find an eligible Mentor, have them invite you into the Mentoring Contract. When they invite you, you will see an invitation window. Click Accept to create the contract. 
Mentor Instructions: A contract can only be created when both characters are logged in. To create a Mentoring Contract, the aspiring Mentor must do the following: - Open your System Menu, then the Friend Manager, and click on the Mentoring tab.
- Click on the + button to add a Mentee.
- Enter the name of the eligible Mentee (a character below level 86 that has a Mentee Certificate) into the Character Name box, and click Add to list. This sends a Mentoring invitation to that character.
- When that character accepts the invitation, they officially become your Mentee, and you become their Mentor. As you are both logged in, you both immediately receive the beneficial buffs from the Mentoring Contract.
Both Mentor and Mentee are free to cancel the contract at any time. After a contract is canceled, the Mentor is unable to make a contract with a new Mentee for seven days. A Mentee receives no penalty for cancelling a contract; the Mentee can accept a new contract immediately. 
Please note that the Mentoring tab of the Friend Manager window is only visible to characters who are eligible to be Mentors, and to Mentees who are in a Mentoring contract. Mentee MarksMentors can help Mentees level up and earn rewards at certain level-range milestones. Specifically, at level 40, then level 50, and then every level after that, Mentors receive a varying amount of Mentee’s Marks in their mailboxes. Mentors can use Mentee’s Marks to buy various items from the Mentor Guide NPC. Available items include but are not limited to: - Hair Accessory Life Stone
- Soul Crystal Changing Stones A- through R95-grade
- Attribute Changing Crystals S- through R99-grade
- Enchant Armor and Enchant Weapon Stones, which improve your odds of successful item enchantment
- Super 60 and Super 150 Attribute Stones of all elements
- Enchant Weapon and Enchant Armor scrolls of all grades
- Superior Giant's Codex
- Elixir of Blessing
- Mentor's mystery box
GraduationA Mentee graduates from the mentoring contract when the character reaches level 86. At that time, the contract is concluded. The recent Mentee is eligible to create a Mentoring contract five days after Awakening. Recent Mentees can exchange their Mentee Certificates for 40 Diplomas by speaking to Mentor Guide NPCs, which can be found in all major towns. Displomas are used to purchase R-grade items from the Mentor Guide NPC.
