Grinding area kind of depends on class. I went chaplain/druid so I couldn’t help much… But in general find places where the enemy is weak against ur class.
And I recommend dont grind too much on one place, u will get bored quickly especially with priest. Finding grinding spot is also part of the fun IMO.
Armor type, ground/flying, move speed, damage/cooldown, AOE atk ratio, enemy damage, class specialties, etc. Also take note of items u need to farm.
I personally like dark/demon (holy +100%), mid density, plate armor (strike +50%), minibosses (around 1.5 normal mobs exp), cos we have no HP/SP issue (heals) but we walk slow and have no AOE attack.
Mobs in nevellet quarry, Meleech, Hallowventer, Prison Fighter, Guardian Spider, etc. btw imo demon prison >> dina bee for my chaplain (maybe also for priests?) cos all those stuffs i said before.
U might also want to exploit spawn timer. Some places have exact spawn time. e.g. 2 mins in demon prison, forest of prayer etc. U can place heal tiles / cure to clear some mobs right before they spawn.
Blessing now is affected by (0.06 * SPR + 0.02 * INT) * (skilllvl-1). Without SPR/INT, damage bonus is meh. It’s also not multiplied by sacrament/cafrisun cos additionaldmg+blessing doesnt proc on double punch. It also doesn’t get multiplied by your crits. Unless u go all-round semi-support, blessing 3 (for attribute) + sacra 1 should be sufficient for levelling imo.
Like Rob-Mar said, u want deprotect zone for DEX. Rest better put on defensive and utility skills.
Don’t forget to take deprotect zonefrom cleric for zone+handknife combo.
Actually, maybe there are better options other than priest 3? Lol.
Sorry I ended up writing lots of stuffs :v
