woah! Dem made a thread! hell yeah
*ahem*
as you may know by our awesome shiny teh secks spears of killit dedz, me and Moogie are level 42.
you will aslo notice when you get to this point, or when you got to it, there is not one quest to pick up, nor for 43, or 44.
so thats 3 whole levels of sheer boring ass grinding, just wtf?!
anyway, as much as we like the game, we hate having to grind, luckily the last quest we did boosted us to about 20% into 42 and with summon scrolsl from the event, aswell as trading and runnign around we've got to 49% overall.
now, what is best to grind on, the quickest, and least boring?
for our level, I did four consecutive tests.
judging it by the level bar and a stopwatch.
I timed myself to see how quickly i could get 0.50% on four different monsters.
the monsters i used in this test were, in order of effective levelling;
Ultra Blood Devil
found just outside the Hotan east bridge, these guys are orange at 42 but fall under our spears in 3 or 4 hits, giving a nice sum of 1300xp.
time for 0.50%
5 minutes 30 seconds
given the time running between them, and taking the amount of time to kill them, it is slow, but as attention is required on your hp it feels not as bad as bowmen, the slowest choice however.
Small/Red Scorpion
White, perfect for our level, killed in 2 to 3 hits, also come in champion and giant variety for flavour. give around 860xp
time for 0.50%
5 minutes
same as ultra's they are far apart sometimes, also spawn slow, so you end up runnign in circles wasting time, champions are worth the bash, giving extra xp, but I am unsure if giants are worth the time/potions.
from the drinks quest you feel like you've been here forever already and don't want to stay, aswell as you will find others questing, not to mention Bots! of which Moogie pwned
Black robber bowmen
by now you know these are easy to kill, being green, they fall to our power attacks in 1 or 2 hits, giving off about 650xp (for me, no party)
time for 0.50%
4 minutes 30 seonds
the bowmen only count as 0.01% per kill, so i killed 50 in 4 and a half minutes, given there was no KSers about.
it is easy, you rarely have to watch your HP bar, but you consume Mana just as fast as any other mob.
given the lack of attention needed, you will get bored very quickl;y and feel liek you are getting nowhere.
Maong
the elder generation of Ongs (Omg! to Moogie
) they hit harder and are just as annoying to click on, they give a nice juicy 1060xp however.
time for 0.50
4 minutes 20 seconds
only slightly faster then the bowmen, but, you must pay attention, getting ganked swarmed and utterly raped by them is not nice, you can find them from the start of the ferries all the way up to where the ultra blood devil's appear, there is plenty of the buggers about and seemingly no one wants to fight them. a nice refreshing bright green scenery on the hotan side and attention fixed on your hp bar, you will level seemuingly faster then any of the others.
my recommended monster to grind on, though i haven't grinded much yet!
-------------------------------
given the calculations of
bowmen Moogie estimated that to get 50% of level
42 - 43 it would take 4 and a half hours of
solid grinding. ouch.
our idea is to try and break that down, aiming for 25% a day, doing an hour grinding, then going elsewhere and doing other things, and eventually ocming back for a second hour. hopefully it will not be too unbearable. I'm more tolerant of grindfing then Moogie, and honestly I feel liek quitting the game over this, without quests it's simply a bore.
however, I must press on, so i can beat down the cheating botting hacking high level idiots. yes, yes i will >: D.
Let's see how we do eh? >.>
although I think you dont worry much about saving pots 
but im doing 10% per play then stop then do a trade then another 5-10% or just setup stall
