1. Take your time (There is zero reason to rush leveling)
2. Strengthen your gear (you run into money troubles when you spend too much time rushing to level up)
3. Keep characters cultivated and awakened up to your level (You will gain food and cult runes quickly over time if you're not leveling so fast)
4. Figure out which Team Instances give the best Ninja tools for your level and start collecting them and building them up (I have all gold tools at about LV14 each currently)
5. Do your best to get as high as you can in exams, Magatama are vital, if you're just starting out there is no reason not to fuse lv1s into level 2, however get level 2 Magatama on every piece of gear for your team BEFORE you start making Level 3's, and then repeat the cycle for each level of Maga.
6. Save your coupons and only ever do 50 runs in Mystery cave at a time (Once all your runes are level 3 or higher you can save your coupons for other things)
7. If you are just reaching the level 50s go and capture summons every day, the ideal way to do this is to fight every blue and purple summon once to get extra runes, and then once you have done that start farming the fragments each day for Blue ones you want, followed by purple ones you want, the reason why you want to fight them all once is because if you win one in a free summon pull, you'll miss out on that first time bonus fighting a summon.
8. Level up summoning runes, work on getting all lv 3s on all 3 summons and then start working on lv4s, don't start making level 4 runes until you have all lv3s on each summon, otherwise it's inefficient (only combine runes that equal to exactly the next level of rune, overfilling the exp bar on runes is a waste)
9. Save your seal scrolls, I promise you there's no good reason to use them on anything other than Kage treasure, or more importantly future treasures (Unless you are saving 400 to get Hashirama or Tendo)
10. Again as a reminder. Save your coupons, don't bother wasting them in Nine Tails, don't bother wasting them on resetting Black Market, use nothing, wait for events like Dice Board where you can amass Medium Refines/Medium threads which you'll need in other events
11. Refines, save low refines and Medium refines, save them, never bother using them until the refine rebate is happening, I personally like a well rounded team with equal refines but you can work on getting your Priority 1 character to Lv5/6/7 refines if you need to with the help of the rebate.
12. Threads become so tough to come by, you never want to rank up your Battle Armor unless the BA Rebate is happening, the Rank up rewards (Only applicable during the event) will help alot in getting you up an extra rank which adds power, be sure to do the highest difficulty Strong Approach you can access, each week, the fights are more of a puzzle and less about power.
13. Group Skills, always good to have, my method is to level each one up by 5 and to try to keep them all about the same level (Nin, Atk, HP, Def, Res, Life Regen are the more important ones)
Final Thoughts: These are just things I've been doing and it's been working very well, I'm having a great time playing and I feel like my patience gets rewarded doing things this way, however everyone has different opinions on what's best and you might find more efficient alternatives.
