Well all of you....where DO you train. I can grind as hard as possible at the spots recommended by YouTubers, and it still takes a while. There's no way I could get to 175 in 24 hours (like over 8 days or whatever).

@Chup:
Nah I mean I hate bringing 3 laptops just to hs + kishin(laziness)

@wingless666: I think it's pretty easy xD. After level 80 (which is past 4th job) you can just make an expedition on the character you're playing on and drag the bishop in and out when you need HS. I usually put the HS+Advanced Bless + Maple Warrior 30 Macro on Space Bar for the convenience.

@Chup:

Yes, though personally I hate having to hs myself, kishin is uhh bearable. But again
for normal players, it's just another hurdle to go through.

[quote=wingless666]When it comes to training it is all about efficiency. Most people who think leveling is easy usually
don't know what they're talking about. 2x card + 2x buff helps greatly, not only that but training with
hs and kanna greatly increases training speed. More importantly being fairly funded speeds up training.
1-200 is possible in a day if you combine all those and are basically able to train for hours with little to
no break. Atleast that is how I see it. Most people can get the 2x card + buff, but getting hs and kanna
for free either requires good friends devoting their time for you or mesos and being funded is self explanatory so
yea~[/quote]

You could also just have access to mules

I use 0 nx, 0 exp multiplies except for merc link skill, about 1 mil mesos, the only funding I have is old gear and almost all the link skills at lvl 2.
You can pretty much go to 0-175 in two weeks if you nolife your as. So you have to really love your class. LOL.
People who get to these high lvls in a couple days are probably using 2x and other means.

You can also HS / Kishin yourself with another computer that runs MapleStory. Really handy when you have no friends like me.

I'm going to be pretty general here, this is your ticket to level 1-200 in a few months, maybe a few weeks.

1) Know the training spots, especially the ones that are best suited for you, your character, and your playstyle.
2) Gain some confidence and determination
3) Get higher range
4) Get some friends to PQ/train with, or find some. Training gets boring while grinding solo.
5) There's a strategy to training, and each character must hone up to the best of its ability. You must learn how to use your skills appropriately, and efficiently in order to get the most out of your time.
6) Get 2x.
7) Take advantage using kanna's kishin or HS. (Mules)

The most important things are to get higher range, know your training spots, and have a ton of determination.
Good luck.

Thank you for the answers so far guys, i really appreciate all of them

To be honest, it's perseverance most of the time.
People turn the music on and they start grinding, they don't pause and they keep going for a long time each day.
They use a lot of exp multipliers such as 2x exp coupon from the cash shop, hs etc.

It can go very fast if people don't complain all the time (to clear things up, you're not complaining in this thread don't get me wrong) and just start grinding.
It's not that hard..

Knowing when and how to train really helps.
I only really grind when there is a 2x event and I spam Evo world from 105-165 with 4x.

No life, friends to play with through all levels, 2x, good gear for every level etc
Which I dont have, took 9 years to get to lvl 210 on my drk
