do you think grinding on white mobs is more effective than on green mobs because i usually grind on white mobs and they lvl me up much faster but ppl say that green mobs are easy to kill and i think just cuz they are easy to kill they dont really give you the amount of xp you need

depends on what build you are

pure str fire glaive

Grind an hr at a white mob and check your % increase and sp...then do an hr at a green, and compare the two.

red = quite higher
orange = slightly higher
grey = same
green = lower
blue = much lower...

oki? lol

i knew that way before

Green mobs
unless you have good gear
example;
kill a green with 1shot and u get 200exp
Kill a white with 3 shots and u get 280exp

Just DO your math man we cant tell you with out actually playing your character no matter what build its all about build+skills+gear

if you kill 3 green=600
same time that it took you to kill a white one=280

Which one is better?

but on the other hand if you kill a red with 3 shots and get 340
and kill a white one with 3 shots and get 280
and kill a 3green with 3shots =320
then you would go with red
DO the math man no offense

you go or went to school for a reason

grind at a decent spot so you don't have to run around so much

i think it depends on the mob's spawn rate more than the colour. if you have horrible spawn rate for a red mob that u can 1 hit (that's like impossible, but let's pretend), then you wont be lvling up very fast.

i like to grind at spots that i gain more money from picking up gold than spending on my pots ^_^ example...i pick up like 800k a grind in just gold from my monkey and I only buy about 600k in pots ^_^ ..they are white to me..maybe this will help

also sometimes you might gain more exp per mob on orange monsters. but they waste all ur pots fast and each grind you gain lets say.. 4m exp but on white mobs you can stay out there longer and maybe get 6m exp

Like some of these guys have said, it depends on a few things.
But its mainly
1) Your build
2) Your gear
3) Which mob u kill faster
4) Spawn rate of that mob

Green mob does give you less exp, but how come every1 pick to sp farm at lvl 16 inside the den? (Archer are green to lvl 16)
Because they can 1 shot them and archer spawn like crazy.

Grinding is most effective when you can kill a mob thats green or above in 1 shot. (Except blue mob which gives so lil exp)
If you can't 1 shot them, especially when you are pure str, its good to grind at green mob.

You don't want to walk so much, thats y spawn rate is important.
You don't want to get ksed, thats y killing fast is important.
Time is essential, thats y 1 shot killing is best.

let say green mob gives u 100 exp and grey gives u 150 exp.
you kill Green in 1 shot and grey in 4 shots

Roughly, you will b killing Green in 2 secs and Grey in 6 Secs
in 1 minute you kill 30 Green
this gives you 3000 exp
In 1 minute you kill 10 Grey
this gives you1500 exp.

I always find it silly for ppl who come all the way to HyeongCheong while they were lvl 20 to grind. 1 Shot, i just ksed his kill. A giant with few mobs, hes history.

do a bit of math here
