Tired of leveling and fighting for Mobs? Read Here!!

Post by Degrees »

Yesterday when I was doing a trade run I noticed that none of the bots were attacking the NPC thieves that spawned and I was getting the same EXP from the thieves as I was from Chakji Workers and Chakjis. So i thought, "Hey this is a more efficient way of grinding." So for all of you complaining about bots and how you never get kills I suggest this to you. Buy a white flag in Jangan, do a multi-star trade, 5* if you are brave and take your trade to the water ghosts and go all the way back, as far as possible. Then you have uncontested mobs that are your level and it is much faster leveling.

Just my 2 cents.

Yea it'd be nice if the ppl in sro would work together
to just have everyone be a trader while afk and ppl could grind
on the thieves.

The 5 star spawn rate isn't bad at all. It'd be best to get a couple people to do a 5 star, get someone to set up a circle around traders and wait for the spawns and hoep you don't die :P

That's not true. It's very hard to handle a 5 star alone, but not impossible.

That doesn't really work, cause they don't spawn as much as normal mobs.

But when you are not getting kills because the bots just KS you it is better than nothing.

This also works best with a level 3x Nuker because you can attack multiple thieves with one light nuke.

Well, after kill all 5, you have to wait quite a bit until they come back again. So considering how long it would take just to kill 10 thieves, I'm pretty sure I could kill my level mobs at a faster rate. Plus you would have to worry about your transport dieing or being attacked by a player thief.

The best way to grind is just to simply do it by the time you wait for the thief's you could probably kill way more mobs your lvl even with bots defeating the purpose

2 players 5* Camels/Ox
6 players to kill the thief spawns
1 Xp share party

Its also good to have the traders be healers as well and make sure they never get off their mounts (and also keep a good supply of pills) for anything other then to rez players...

Having a couple players with a thief suit on hand to keep things going should the worst happen is also good...

Hey now that's a good idea, I bet people will try that and may work.

As for a 5 star it sounds fun but....I don't want to waste my monye on that.

becasue 2 star plus the theifs get higher level than you, 5 star is about 4+ levels higher, dosent seem like much but theifs use imbues and nukes just like players. they could be using berserker arrow and you could be using antim devil bow.
