# ▶️ Starter Useful TIPS

To ensure a smooth start in the game, here are some highly recommended tips and strategies:

<mark style="color:green;">**Where to Get Zen?**</mark>

* **Kalima \[3-7th Levels]:** These maps have the highest Zen drop rate. It's the quickest way to earn Zen, but keep in mind that level progression may be slower due to fewer monsters.

<mark style="color:green;">**Where to Get Standard Jewels?**</mark>

* **Blood Castle 8 (BC8)**
* **Devil Square 7 (DS7)**
* **Farm Island** These maps have significantly higher drop rates for valuable items, including standard jewels.

<mark style="color:green;">**What is the Farm Island Map?**</mark>

* A dedicated map with increased drop rates and unique rewards. [Learn more about Farm Island here.](https://templemu.gitbook.io/templemu-docs/newbie-guide/farm-land-map)
