Alternative Training to Try Out

I've been fed up with LHC for the longest time. I've seen them selling leaching services to other players and the thought that some of them actually accept this just frustrates me. So far I have been unable to train any of my characters within the lvl 120-150s.

Since then, I've been pushing and trying to persuade people to try out different training routes that can be just as effective. I just needed to know the answer to these two things:

1> I sometimes notice that Monster Park, in a full party, can give more exp than LHC time-wise. How come people are so reluctant to part with others in Monster Park and shouldn't we consider Monster Park a worthy grinding place?

2> I've also been trying to convince people from many places and in my guild to one time try Sea of Fog PQ. I have yet to touch that place for the longest time and ever since it became a lvl 120-159 PQ my curiosity for it has never died out. Yet I feel there must be some merit to the place. Is there anyone that has recently tried this PQ? If so, can this place be a good time waster?

LHC is essential at some point, but questing/pqs are plenty sufficient as well. I try to avoid it whenever possible.

Well i have a mechanic that is always on ready to try out Sea of Fog PQ to see how it is now, and I'm open for a daily Monster Park Party run.

Still takes a good while to get enough to make it viable since 20 tickets is only two runs of MP.

I just don't find attacking the same monster over and over again for hours fun. I for once like to do things cooperatively with others to make the game feel more like...a MMORPG.

Man I wish you were in Khaini, I never train at LHC/Sh/HoH, I always wanna do stuff like boss or monster park or PQ for exp, but no one ever does.

Well I just can stand LHC anymore the way it is now. I am just one of those guys that really want be in the fight enjoying my character and learning new tricks tot he fullest.

@Momijii I'm certain you can do Monster Park as many times as long as you have the ticket for it. And as for the PQ count, I mean from what I remembered during the old times of Maple Story, we alternated wins to gain the best EXP in places like old Monster Carnival and Sea of Fog PQ. Even then, I found it both fun and helpful for leveling.

I really don't want my characters that I truly want to raise just stay away and do nothing. How can I persuade people to just come out of this shell and try some of these?

i do know that Monster park is a decent spot to train, but you need to go in to a map that's for about 10 levels above you to be effective

1) From what I know, it's only potentially better than LHC if you're solo or in a full party. Not to mention you only get five tries a day (unless you have more fragments, which aren't the easiest to get). I grind at Monster Park all the time though, since it's usually a nuisance to get an LHC party.

2) Less exp is gained for losing so you basically have to alternate.

I want to train somewhere else but no one is at the pq's or monster park or anything.

1. People are lazy to get tickets
B. You can only do pqs for a certain amount of times a day.
