Exp Gain- Not crying, just having teste grinding at different levels

General Discussion
#1

Soooo, i finally found out why people tend to cry over the grind in TOS.

Here’s an example:

I’m level 100.

Grinding in an Area where i overkill mobs at 220% overkill.
Grinding in an Area where mobs are 20+ levels higher then me, sometimes overkilling 110~130% (rarely).
Even with an higher kill/minute rate on the infamous red named mobs.
The lower level mobs give more exp/minute … with less kills.

Why?

Orange Dandle: 400 base exp, 270 job exp. *2,2= 880 base exp, 594 job exp.
Kepari: 530 base exp, 640 job exp.

Both have nearly the same hp. But duo the buff they get from higher level then me.
I’m getting more exp from dandles…
Doing more dps to them too… And i’m not even on the max crit atk i can have yet.
The problem is, that people grind in areas to close to their level …

Higher leveld mobs don’t give that much more exp, even more so when they’re buffed from red name…

Old ro awarded you if you could high level mobs.
TOS is punching you in the face xD.

For me, i will stop playing till they fix market and shout.
I farmed a bunch of levels and quested everything that worked for me. I’m now at mage tower, wwhere i would love a party ^^.

Ohh and yeah. I’m archer.
So for swordys that overkill even better, this is even more true.

Ah and yes, lastly.
The game is set so, that time needed to advance a level. Is roughly the same after the tuturial area, when you grind.
For me that is about 20 minutes per level. Sadly it’s base level … job level takes about 5 to 10 times as long.

Not everyone can overkill … hoplite is sad

But yeah, low level mobbing is better than high level mob soloing, that’s not rocket science

Sadly, you cant level from stuff lower then 15 levels then you. Otherwise i would stick to Egnome forever.
That spot had the best density of mobs…

You begin to receive exp penalty from mob 5 levels below you though. And you can’t receive exp from mob 24 levels below you.

As for spot, as long as you have a party (which is bugged at the moment), the spawn will become massively better at where your party stand.

Must be nice being a swordman

Yes, most people have figured out by now that killing monsters way over your level is very counterproductive, however, when you simply do quests you will eventuelly got to a point where it’s neccesary to kill higher level mobs until eventually the quest requirements are too high and you are stuck with grinding which most people dislike.

This is something that will most likely be fixed when there will be more quests per area in the full game. There’s already many more quests in CBT2 compared to CBT1

So, lower lvl mobs are the best for grind ? How low ? And, you need to overkill to make it worth ?

#7

I said i was archer. Oblique shot 3k dps x crit xD.

220 crit atk. Most from bonuses.

#8

Lower then your level. But not lower then 15 levels.

I would say.

For example. Egnome Level 48 Elite mobs in tenet chapel.
I leveld mos tof my chars from 35~37 to level 60~65 there.

Fast spawnrate. Mooby area and always a party going on, if you dont have an AOE skill (like archer). But dish out decent damage over time.

For some mobs, you simply need to look at their hp and exp values. Go tot tosbase and search the monsters you would want to farm.
Then you cna calculate how much dps you can do in a single hit or skill. Which will overkill them. Let’s say you hit one dandel with 3k dps. It has 1,3k health. So it will result in about 130% overkill. But if you tickle it to around 100 to 200 hp left. Then use your skil to overkill it or an whole group of them. You can overkill them 215% with 3k dps atk.

#9

exp in beta is not relevant.stop cry over somthing like this.

#10

how can you do 3k on oblique? I’m lvl 80 and my oblique do only 1k in crit on mobs at the same lvl
my oblique is lvl 15, and damage atribute lvl 30, my stats are str/dex basically
can you tell me your stat distribution? thanks

#11

The trick is simply.

Have crit atk gems, iron bow and some str.

I go toblique level 50 too.

60 str, 40 spr, 100 dex. Or something like that.
Level 103.
crit atk is nearly 220. Which results in 2,7 times my atk as crits (+0,5 base crit atk).

I have 160 crit atk from iron bow and gems…

Materials like kepa stem and co can be used to upgrade gems too.
Buy them chepa of newbie s… or farm them yourself.
two yellow gems inside your bow. One or two red gems in your glove.
And your world will look different.

If market worked. You could even go spr/dex and buy some krivis skill.
That one krivis skill makes your spr into crit atk too … so more crit atk and even more mana to spamm xD.

The last time i had that krivis buff on me from my self (for test purposes).
I had an build 100 dex, 80 spr. I had even 60 more crit atk then now xD.

Party up with krivis players. Their buffs, maybe even have blessing., will make you go nuts xD.

IF only i had an heartseeker… sigh …
I could reach 100% crit rate and spent more points in str xD.

And yes, i’m doing hard damage with an bow that’s hardly my level range.
I have it since i can equip it ^.^.

My last boss fight with chaparition. 800 crits with mutlishot xD. Half of them hit crits … i needed 3 multishots to make it go poof.#

Ohh and yes. Two hand bow mastery +100% atk. Doesn’t us eskill atk sadly. Atk flying types for grinding ^^. Archer are storng agaisnt that.
As catprhacts are strong against large monsters.
