Ok i tried doing some research, but I couldnt get consistent data.
Im still in lvl 60-70 maps, but havent been using cards, yet. still going finishing the 6x maps.
I have heard horrible things about hitting lvl 130 and how its A HUGEEEEE EXP WALL.
Any advice if i should struggle now and just save everything so i can go lvl 130 -> 175(or w/e the enxt dungeon is)
If i dont use cards for now, what would you recommend for lvling purposes to hit lvl 90?
There are basically 3 methods to grind in this game.
If you don’t want to use your cards, and you are too high level to get any significant amount of experience from the level 50 dungeon, then your only option is to field grind. I suggest you find a party and get your potato chips ready.
1 - 150 for me i used up all the cards and have no problem whatsoever
but still you need to use up your mission run and dungeon to get some extra exp
150-180 however need a bit of grind but doing dungeon and mission can cover at least 6m worth of exp per day (with token) or 4m exp (without token)
lv 160 and i receive 1.1m~1.3m exp per dungeon on lv 145 while i receive 700k-750k per mission run
and lv 7 and 8 cards if you have them all (repeatable doesnt count and wings of viora npc reward) you get something like 52m-55m exp total and 150 - 180 requires at least 110m-120m exp
with repeatable and 100% map exploration you might need at least 20m-30m exp more before reaching lv 180. so 20m-30m worth of grind are needed which you can do while questing and doing daily dungeon/mission
You’re wasting your time saving up those level 3 cards lol.
The real grind is at pretty much 170-186 or so to prevent it you’re saving cards from 140-170 and grinding then. You can use up all your cards even then, but the grinding you didn’t do before you’ll do at 175 or so.
Mind you there are places to grind in that range as well you’ll just honestly hate to see people (any more then your 4 party members) as maps can only support one party. Gain about 2 mil per hour, 5 hours thats 10 mil right there + dailies if they’re reasonable to do, + 2.4 mil from Missions a day (all of this is with token), 1 mil from daily quests. The previous maps can support about 2-3 parties though except 2nd demon prison thats a 1 party map as well IMO.
For instance grinding in a certain area there are mobs that give 8k exp without exp tome and give basically 6k while in a 5 man party. Your level 3 cards are worth basically 1 mob. You’ve got 420, but you’ll be killing about 6000. Don’t bother holding onto those cards now, you might as well just get to level 145, 160 or 175 (wherever you’re going to start your grind).
only grind if you want to get some materials or item from that area else just use the exp card you save to go to the next set of maps to do questing.
doing quest in a map gives about 100k-250k depending on how fast you kill before finishing all quest (which gives 15 exp card total)
