Fast grinding :D

iSteal · Post by **iSteal** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 1:57 am

I'm level 23 with a 2 gap, when i'm at 24 i'm going to close the gap to a 0 so i can get concentration and put up my fire imbue. But right now, i'm leveling reaalllyyy slow at Hyungeo Ghost Soldiers. Anybody know any better grinding areas?

firstly....er why are you in garm? especially a pure int with a spear?

Anyway well since you have no nukes you can't grind on orange so I would just grind on chakji or bugs since you will be able to kill much faster which = more xp per minute

He's fine in garms. Pure ints just burn more hp pots grinding, that's all.

For a pure int, watever you can 1-2 hit is the best way to level. I recommend greens.

However, SRO grinding is boring and it only gets worse. Good luck!

lvl23 killing ghost soldiers? :shock:

perhaps you can get a better kill-exp ratio with chakjis or bugs.

Yeah. At lvl 24 I was STILL at chakji just for the fast kill rate and quest

use bow and buy a pet (looter) that way you can kill mobs faster (without having to run around that much and the pet just picks stuff up for you).

go to a mob that you can kill in 1-2 skills... better if you can just kill them in 1 hit.

edit: as for the spot, aren't bugs good for exp-ing? i don't have the coordinates now, but there's an area where there are plenty of bugs that are close together

i used a spear at 24, but would a glaive be better as you are using soul spear + imbue (and shout).

I always wondered that.

No.
Being INT your damage comes from the multiplier of the attacks (+xxx%) not from the Phys Damage itself (since you have low phys mastery)
Multiplier applies to imbue so you do great damage

hellsharpt · Post by **hellsharpt** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 8:10 pm

but at that level how much (if any) is the difference. I have a couple incomplete pure (str and int) at low levels, maybe I'll try it out. Unless someone already has.

At lvl 24 get good spear +++ ,and take bug wing quest and then soldier,than get again new spear +++ ,than demon horse(btw its very easy,and good quest!!),than ghost quest and than martial art quest,and then get 200 bombs use this quest bug,and guess what you will be at 29 lvl,than one more lvl(yes hard ,but its worth it

),and you will get nuke,and then lvl'ing is piece of cake!!

With scheme like this i lvl'ed up from 24lvl to 29 in 2 days without GT ,and 5-6h of playing time!

is that 5-6hr per day or in total? because it's impossible to get from 24 to 29 in 6 hr, even with GT. it took me 3 hr + 2 quests to get from 26 to 27.

Daannnggg...looks like some serious grinding is up ahead for me.

id rather grind with green mobs like ghost bugs and devil bugs, to kill them faster and level faster

LOL youre complaining about the grind in 2x?
kid, wait till you get to the 70s.

but trust me, itll get much better for you once u get your nukes at L30. pur int spears level the fastest.

I have a lvl 23 char about to get my lvl 24+5 SOS bow and dust it off again. My char is pure int with complete SOS protector set and I plan on de'leveling skills to 9 gap at the Hyungo Ghost to farm there. Get the best gear you can and grind on mobs your lvl and you will lvl fast.

@bleak "pure int spears lvl the fastest", I think that Bow users lvl the fastest. Get grasswalk and bow skills and it is very fast lvling.

from L1-30 yes, bows are the fastest
but from 30 to cap. ANY nuker will outlevel a bow. trust me.

What about a Bow nuker? I know, for PvP it sux, but for grinding its still better imo.

Hi.

I'm lvl 24 Pure STR bow with 9 gap, and currently i'm farming at horses with a lvl 24+3 sos bow + wolf, besides the high bot population, i get a decent amount of sp, and drops are nice 2.

Select horse, Antidevil bow + ice imbue, then switch to next horse and when antidevil recharge repeat, the wolf will terminate the first victim for you

Sorry for my bad english.

Salu2.
