Grinding till I die

While MS is down...

The last time I played the game was right before we got that horrible Unleashed (Unlimited?) patch, and a lot of stuff has changed since then. Haunted House is crap, Aliens are gone (?) and NLC has been rebuilt, Singapore hit the gym, Netts is hiding, apparently we won Azwan...you get the point, all the old haunts have vanished. I've been using a guide, but I figured I'd poll the crowd. Can anyone provide me comprehensive training locations?

The best guide so far i've been using: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug1OEfrIPKQ
I did change these a bit for quality of life
10-20: Relevant stone golem map. Suggest normal till 13-14 then going to dark/mixed till 20
20-30: Either cold eyes are cursed eyes depending on class/mobbing ability. If you're a non mobber/ slow mover go curse.
30-40: gold beach. If you're slow at killing do quests. other wise systematically move forward from the town until 35 then go last map.
40-50: BIG CHANGE VS OTHER GUIDES!@ Go to navi stone golems in pantheon. They're 42 so maybe earlier. It's a 2 platform map with a teleport to move between them with high spawn and small size. You can stay here till 60 if needed.
50-60: LPQ can break the grind and gives 1.5 levels per (first PQ at 50 gets you 80% second levels you twice, repeats till 56 ish) Or go drakes for grinding. The quests from the kid by the portal in sleepy are worth doing (30-40% each).
60-70: Officer skeletons in perion. Stay here until 70.
70-85/70-140: White pangs in el nath (take danger taxi then jump down) AMAZING MAP / RnJ PQ. Grinding at RnJ is very good all the way to 140. I'd suggest stopping at 120 though.
85-100: Scorpion/sand rat combo or just scorpions. It's one big flat kill platform.
100-120: continue RnJ or go humunculi in magatia.
100-108/110-114: Zakum. Unfunded/weak bring plenty of potions and hug the left wall until the second from bottom left arm is dead (won't get debuffed). Afterwards kill the arms and leave. If you can killing the last body at 108 will bring you to 110. The arms alone average 4 levels on 1x between 100 and 110. An entire zakum solo on 1x is 110 to 114 (just did this on my new shadower). Repeat twice daily.
140-170: Dimension invasion x 10 daily is 50% / run until 160 on 1x. Go to MP3 after. if/when possible do horntail. Even a non successful run is loads of exp and a death costs only 1%.
170-250: Drill hall 2.

[quote=stevenman76]10-30 Fire golems
20-30 (possible, might not be worth the walking time) Cursed Eyes
30-50 Golden Beach (You can do the quest line and then train in the last map, or just train in the last map)
46-50 Tot's auto leveling (Some classes can't do this)
50-70 Copper drakes in Silent Swamp
70-140 RnJ pq, grind on the stage with roids for the entire pq
140-165 Dimensional Invasion PQ
163-165 Stronghold - Drill hall 1 (Only if you're funded or if you can find a party that will go to the first drill hall)
165-250 Stronghold - Drill Hall 2
Yesterday, they released "Scrapyard" Which is now the best training place. I'm not sure when you're supposed to go there, and I haven't even stepped foot in there yet, but I would get like 215+ or something[/quote]
I should let you know, for the class exceptions on tots 46-50, some of them are 47-50 instead. Tots also works at 58-60, and for the class exceptions, most usually 59-60

yup, forgot about ludi pq. lpq>rien strait definitely assuming you can find a party. I guess it's probably easier with server merges.

[quote=lalynode]I would put in Rien Strait between Gold's Beach and Copper Drakes. I hate the place but there's really nowhere else to go.[/quote]

Ludi pq 50-70 is better than training IMO. it's like 80% every 4 minutes
