General Grinding between 130-150

I am in need for some advice when it comes to these levels.
Lets just pretend I've done all MPE's and Evo's for that day.
And there's nobody at R&J.

What is the general course for these levels?
This is mainly for Mercedes, Shadower, Xenon and Beast Tamer

130-150 grinding, i did the old fashioned way deep under ludi clocktower and leafre. Great training spots for that level range

Most of these things apply to more to the Mercedes then the Beast Tamer I am leveling up for having the same bonuses on my Mercedes.

I will go invest in some things for the Mercedes now but I am really in need of some advice for the beast tamer.

Take my advice and do the boss pres for pap and zakum. Zakum might be a bit harder but easier than hilla by far for non adventurer mages (-50% damage taken on top of the 50% defense)

Papalutus at 140 is between 10-30% per kill, twice a day, , dies fast, and you MAKE money killing him (drops like 800k worth of vendor trash vs the 100k in pots you might use). His prequest take like 15 minutes.

Zakum gives much more exp but will take a bit to solo without funding. look up a guide for pres both a written (try basil) and video for the jump quest.

The female boss (anego) in showa is basicly pap on 2x that respawns every 6 or so hours in every ch.

black crow in japan spawns every 12 hours and is a pap clone, beware the mobs surrounding him hit like 1k and the boss hits like 2-4k touch and has insane speed.

Scarlion/targa have easy but grindy pre quests, zakum's hp, and hit like a wet noodle with down syndrome. You have to fight them at the same time but its a bonus as they each gives like 20-40% at 140. Scarlion is fire weak Targa is ice weak and reverse for strong against. You need a party of 6 to enter and it's filler proof( You NEED 6 people to enter the fight with you. Suggest buddies/guildies).

If you do atleast 50k per line of ring of ishtar do hilla twice a day. Death is utterly pointless there and you can litterally throw yourself at her till she dies. but all damage is halfed even with 100% def ignore. if you have 0% def ignore you only do 25% damage.

After 150 ish you can try Bodyguards (need as comb from female boss/anego) They are easy IF and it's a BIG IF you can down the 1st boss (BGA) as he stun locks you.My marksman kills him in like 10 or so hits and can take anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes depending on luck. Duoing this severely simplfies it. killing BGA, BGB(dreadfully easy) and boss (spams 1/1+seal) at 150 is about 50-60% solo on 1x. They are level 150,155,175. 400m hp/ 500m hp / 150m hp. getting a bishop/phantom duo is a free level until 165 ish. ONCE per day and resets at the time of kill the next day.

Assuming you kill all but the rare spawns and BGs: 15%x2 pap 30% x 2 zakum 30%x4 scarga = 210% per day and a bit of money making.

Gollux Pre's and Commerci Questlines give exp I'm sure. For adventurers, I suggest doing the questline to get your emblem. You can also do ghost ship pre's for the perm badge. Silent Crusade is also a good one to go down, not for exp though, just for sader coins to get sader equips.

*doing ghost ship questline also sets you up for krexel which is a pretty easy boss to fight and gives decent exp.

[quote=iNarbStyle]Evo drops all the valentines drops, there really isn't any regular mobs. I would say Temple of time, but somewhere in the time that I quit, they nerfed the hell out of it. The exp is horrible and it was also my favorite place to train out of any map in MS T_T
Your best bet for straight up grinding would be R&J even though that's what you're trying to avoid. Perhaps Oblivion 5 if you're feeling bored?

Also Pap runs on that bossing sorry. Thats only til like 130 though. I wish I could help you more but this is the frustration every Mapler I'm sure is feeling.[/quote]

Well.. My Mercedes can do most of the bosses but lacks to power to do so.
But I can invest some money for some equipments that improve his situation. I'm mainly seeking some help for my level 133 Beast Tamer.

Edit: Experience boosters 1.2x, 10% exp boost, Holy symbol etc, ARE YOU BESTEST FRIEND Like, your BFF.

For me atleast, I must warn you.
130-165 are gonna be the hardest grind. Currently my NL is at 160. I basically daily bossed for exp,
Anego at 120/130
Once you can solo (Or grab a friend for help, It's a fun duo) go fight Bodyguard A+B+'Big Boss' or I call him Grandpa Boss.
Other than that you can do daily zakum runs, (Fairly simple prequest, Eye of Fire's in FM for 2-4m each so)

If that plan fails~>

Hilla - Can't remember the Exp but she drops cubes
Gollux - Useless for exp ): Good for money/Upgrades
Temple of Time questline - I think its 145+ than 155+ (It might give you 1 level?)
Neo City Questline, (It will give you one level, plus free skillbooks)

In the midst of all this do your
Daily Dimensional Invasion PQ's (140+ at Party Entry)
Daily Evolution (+9 Monster level, x5 HP, 30% Spawn rate)
and R&J if you get bored.

Enjoy! The grind sucks. Once you hit 160 with tele/door you can Hall of Honor or wait til 165 to do the prequests[/quote]

Yeah, I know. But I need to grind at normal mobs because of the Valetine events.
Thanks for the advice, you don't really have regular mobs you can advice me?

Only my Mercedes in in the 140+ range so keep that in mind.
Getting the Beast Tamer to 150 inorder to improve the BoF for the Mercedes/other characters.
