@endurance: It wasn't full party. Just enough people to clear the platforms and keep a constant spawn going. The numbers add up, man.

Earlier in my maple career, when I found it too tedious to level I would do something un-optimal like doing quests or training in a different place to switch up the pace. But these days its generally easy enough to get to my goal level that I can just grind it out in one map.

[quote=smexii]It wasn't an item, nor a large sum of mesos. It was something more valuable then that. A ton of exp and a better way to train.

While training my alt a guildy asked for help with some of their SH prequest. I partied with them and we started off with the Mutant Snails map. We partied a random Demon and we each took a platform. I was had the two platforms on the left because I could easily clear the top platform and then clear the bottom.

We constantly cleared the map and had pretty good spawn. They finished their quests in less then 5 minutes! As we moved through the maps we continued to get great exp and spawn. The only hiccup was Mutant orange mushrooms. Their respawn time takes too long for it to be a worth while map.

SDH-FDH are still some top-tier maps but if you have a good party that knows where to be on the map why not get back to exploring Maple? Why stick to a small sand box when there is a big ass playground![/quote]

you must be under level 100 because full party is crap exp nowadays.. its better to just duo or solo

[quote=wall]why train at a map that gives 1/10th the exp of a good map? Already takes me 100 hours to level, why would I ever make that 1000?[/quote]

Cause you can't always train in those maps... mainly because everyone ELSE is training in those maps.

Because being inefficient is so fun <3 <3

Oh guys wanna hear another training spot ? Black heaven maze 5

@sinknight: tot- memory lane etc. i was mining purple and black veins there

Did it take long?

[quote=meiguihua]Well at level 165 I trained at temple of time and got to level 177[/quote]

trying to figure out how thats possible at all when I did SC, PB questline, & familiar hunting at ToT and got like 8% exp when I was level 176.
Or maybe your talking about s/fdh in ToT.

@wall: That makes total sense. You're striding for 250 after all.

@Dliu456: You do that just by walking though. That can be applied to several games, actually. It's just more fun that way. I get to see new maps,monsters, people. I can hear new bgms. Finish new quest. If the down side is a few more hours spent training at least I won't be in the same sand box.

[quote=smexii]'Cause there are so many monsters in this game. I get bored of killing the same monster for 50+ levels on every one of my high leveled characters.
It's fun and a breath of fresh air.[/quote]
I mean you're still going to be holding one button down; just much longer though.
