I heard about solo plvling , and how it costs about 4x as much as a taxi plvl.


I realize you get more exp from solo, but is it worth the money to get solo ?


like 2mil/hr vs 500k/hr?


Your thoughts.

Not worth it unless they are like a nuker and can get atleast 10 kills a minute.

In my experience:

Average pt lvl beneath mob lvl = double xp from pt mobs
So I'm not sure if it is really that much faster.

Beside that, who cares...I dont pay for plvl anyway : )

not exactly sure what you spend 2mil/ plvling on...

would mean u use around 44 stacks of pots an hour... (xL)

or 100 L sized stacks...


Over an hour I only use about 10 stacks of large MP pots and maybe 1-2 stacks of hp xL pots... and this is a lvl 69 grinding at lvl 65-66 pt mobs... in armor, (so no mp reduction bonus)...

I end up losing maybe 100-200k in pots, but it's usually paid back in the drops I might get... (elixirs, equipment)

if you are plvling in areas that are much lower lvl, you won't get drops, but if you have a garm set you would be saving some mp..

still not sure how you are spending 2mil in pots/repairs...

I plvl an academy strictly just for the honor points, I start a lot of chars at lvl 1 than level them myself to 10 and plvl them from 10 to 40. If you can start them on the exp helpers around lvl 25-26 you should achieve 40 in a couple days. I plvl them with a full farmed str bow lvl 80, I try to have at least two in the plvl party at all times. As far as cost now I buy 1000 large MPs each trip and about 3500 arrows, this comes to about 500-600k, each repot allows to stay out about 2 hours. To plvl someone all the way all the way to 40 I make roughly 5-6 trips to repot so it's around 3-3.6m total. Of course this is almost always with 2 noobs in the party so figure around half of that for one person to plvl. I hope this understand you something of the cost of plvling on low level mobs (3x-50) where you don't get drops or gold to offset the cost.

plvling a a single character goes reallllly fast.
way faster than a full party, and yea its worth the money.
My homies have gotten to 80 in one premium ticket through straight plvling and then general parties.
