The question is the topic.

What do you consider a good grinding session?

For me, it's when I either:

A) Grind to the point where I am out of pots and absolutely need to go to town

B) When the durability on 4 / 6 of my garments is below 6, and my bow is about to break.

I ask this because a friend of mine always gets on me about not putting in a good grind session.

Just curious to see some responses.

A good grinding session is one where I have fun.

Of course, SoX doesn't hurt.

Of course the opposite of this thread is what do you consider a bad one.

To prevent a new thread, answer here.

get ks by a botter powerlvler everywere you go, die, lose money after a grind, no item drops... and so forth.

For me none of the above since I grind with repair hammers and 2-3 stacks of 1k MPs and 1 stack of 1k HPs and I don't pick up trash with my monkey (AKA: Others), so it takes me 6-8 hours to finish all that and I hardly do it in a row, usually takes me 2 days.

But when my monkey is full of good items (hoping mainly weapnos) I'm happy, because that means 3m more for lil o' me. my monkey is full of equipment after 1 maybe 1 and a half hours because I hunt greens almost all the time for the gold and because I get more exp hunting monsters that I can 1 hit and kill pt giants/champs easily than monsters I have to hit twice and pt giants usually own my ass >.>

Getting 2 or 3 drops, preferably glaive with high crit.

For me a good grind is when I either grind down my GT completely or until a piece of my gear is about to break.

A is what I would consider a good grinding session. B usually happens for me because I get careless and forget to repair my stuff in town.

A bad grinding session is where you die too much. For instance, when you spend an hour or two trying to get back to the percentage of exp you were at when you first started grinding.

A good grind session for me would be to hand grind for 4 hours without stopping ( besides bathroom break or needing pots ) and not getting KS'd by gold bots or human botters in Takla

But if i can hand grind for a few hours without my hand falling off ... then it was a GREAT grind session

When I actually try AND succeed in getting my 2% back by dying from party mobs!

But on a serious note, when I gain a total of 10% in exp.

Yes I know, I have low expectations.

When I didn't die once during my 2-3h of play, that is a good grinding session for me. (Usually die a lot because of aggro mobs

)

i generally keep enough pots on me for 3 hrs of grinding.. but usually i get tired from grinding after about 2 hours anyway... so if i can last for 2-3 hit/dodge scrolls during my grind it's pretty good

bad grinding session -> get to grind spot and realize your weapon had 7 dura left on it >_<
