Today, I d like to share with you my latest achievement. I believe quite a few have done it, so I thought I would share it with our legit forum. Through my story, I will be introducing a few new concepts which
did play an important role in my current progress. First, here is a screen-shot of me getting to level 101. =)
Many will ask, is it really possible to get 101 legitimately? The answer is yes. How?
The process of leveling no doubt takes months, however a list of things which can change the duration depends on many factors, which I am going to list now explained to a certain extent.
1- An active guild, with an active union.
2- Helpful members.
3- Friends.
4- Luck.
5- Gold.
6- Quests.
7- Premium.
8- Server parties.
9- Bot parties.
An active guild with an active union:
This plays a major part in the process of grinding. Having an active guild increases the opportunity to have an auto share party which no doubt increases the exp gain much more than solo grinding. This grants you the chance to level up faster or either farm with a gap. Of course your guild members won’t mind if you are farming, because most of them will be, however the reverse case occurs in parties from other guilds. They will only want full farmed players, so they can achieve the maximum damage possible. Not to mention, if you are disconnected, your guild members will wait for you, other parties wont. Also the character handling of you and your guild mates plays a major role, for instance if a cleric or a bard gets disconnected, how your party can handle the situation by experience and try to survive also contributes to the leveling process.
Helpful members:
If your guild members are always there for you (Not Botting) the chances of getting a complete party, or either a perfect grinding is optimized. Also, if one party member loss occurs, a replacement is available from the guild mates as long as they are not AFK. Other sorts of help could either be, they could lend you gold to buy gear, gift you any drops they don’t need, stall your cash items once they are AFK, and so on.
Friends:
In most of the cases, having friends either real life or in game for long periods, are incomparable with guild members. If you have a beautiful list of friends 20/20 perhaps
, you can break the grinding cycle, by either PvPing together, hunting unique, doing a trade run or even switching characters. (If he’s a friend you really trust)Luck:
By luck, I mean the frequency of getting drops. As we know, the higher the degree you get, the lower the drop rate gets, for instance during the 3rd Degree, you could get up to 20 drops to inventory full during 1 run. At the 11th Degree, you ll be a lucky person if you could get a drop per day! Of course that low drop rate is divided among 8 players, so it’s extremely low and so are the tablets. Once your luck reaches its full extent, you may get a SOX drop and that will be of a major benefit if it’s luckily a weapon which you can wield or a gear item you can wear, and that of course will increase the damage/survivability and hence the grinding speed or demand of partying.
Gold:
Gold usually depends on luck. The amount of gold you from monsters, is quite low, not even enough to compensate the loss of gold from HP/MP pots. Through being lucky and getting quite an amount of drops or even SoX, you can stall them or make a huge profit by hungry addicts who want to get all pimped up with sealed items or people who love collecting them. Other miscellaneous drops, you could either stall them or sell to an NPC. Of course during this cap, stalling items outside the 9th – 11th Degree range will be a waste of time, and thus decreasing the leveling speed.
Server parties:
The server you are in could also be a factor which can determine your leveling speed. Some servers consist of just botters. Some consist of both legit and parties, where some members’ bot, some members use a key presser while others are forced to lure by hand. (Warriors: P) Parties drastically increase the EXP/SP gain, even at high levels; I highly recommend it whenever available.
Quests:
The 110 cap quests are very rewarding and easy. Example: You are required to hunt 300 mobs of a certain type; the reward is 2,800,000 EXP and 250 SP Points. Btw, this quest can be done unlimited times.
Premium:
Having a premium is a must. 5 hours of double EXP and SP will greatly decrease your grinding time, especially if you manage to get a party during these 5 hours; I guarantee you at least 25% in a decent party at 107 – 110 monsters.
The last part, Bot parties:
A new concept, I have noticed that begun during the 110 cap which is, the bot parties. What is a bot party? A bot party as the name implies, consists of only botters, which consists of a Full STR cleric, 2 bards 1 for dance and 1 for tambour and the rest are wizards of course. A Chinese version also exists, usually with 1 bard and 1 cleric. Basically, the party fails, if the cleric or the bard which does the tambour disconnects, nevertheless if the cleric is back he can resurrect all the party, since they have Auto accept resurrect and auto party on.
Honestly, the only way to get going through the cap, with the huge amount of EXP/SP requirements is joining these types of parties, legit or no, it’s the only way. Basically, the euro parties have been eliminated and replaced by bot parties and that’s the biggest problem. Legit or not, that’s how you can do it, at least I am enjoying my role in the party, as a wizard or as a cleric, I don’t mind what else people are doing around me. At night, I usually leave because staying pretending AFK for more than 30 minutes will result in a ban, plus a death.
Side Notes:
1)Spoiler: At level 100 – 101, a party at 110 monsters with ticket on gives you 250,000 EXP!
2)Some quests give you 9,000,000 EXP just by talking to someone or delivering a letter.
3)Some quests can be repeated unlimited times, for example Becoming a deity 1 & 2.
4)5 turns at the Beginner tomb, accessed by level 100+ players, give you about 7% with ticket on.
5) Current leveling speed is, 4% per hour with ticket on and 1.30% without ticket on, at 106 monsters.
NB: I really don’t mind if you consider me non legit by joining bot parties or so, but I am glad to be one of the first legit hand grinders (if not the only) who made it to the start of the 110 cap.
I hope you enjoyed reading the text, and I wish everyone the best of luck in leveling. I also hope that this wall of text did help some of you figure out why leveling takes forever, and how it should be done.
I really hope the text I wrote wasn’t boring and to some extent well informing.
NB: More screen-shots will be added soon, the thread will be updated! Please inform me what parts did I miss and I will add them, well explained, but I guess the thread is too long to be read already. Thanks for your reading, and hoping for a nice feedback and no flaming.
P.S: Screehshots still not added yet.
Crumpets for Pres
Just keep it up ! And you'll be 110 in no time 
I guess I ll try it on a day where I am unlucky with parties. 
Curious about that!
