So I have reached Level 110 without grinding and only finishing quest, I have wasted all of my lvl1-5 exp cards, I heard that you will hit a grindwall somewhere from here and using exp cards will be the solution for it, so should I save my level 6 cards up? and what levels exactly are those grind walls?

Saving cards is pointless. Any grinding below 200 can be ignored because you have daily mercenary missions.
Just eat all your cards as long as your level is within +/- 3 levels of the map you are going to do quest. If you are out of cards, do mission dungeons and dailies until you are level up and can do quest again.
Real grinding starts at level 225+ where maps give small amount of cards and the exp curve skyrockets.

Not quite that pointless because:
You lose actual XP from kills when you are too far above or below the map level. Consequently it’s smartest to use XP cards to stay close to the map level.
So saving them is not pointless if you are above map level. 
I’ll just do that then, I’ll just do the dailies if I am stuck with no cards, I’ll just create another character to kill time while waiting for these dailies
You don’t lose that much honestly. You lose 5% of mob exp per level above 5. So if you are 10 level above the quest map, you lose 25% mob exp. (actual loss is less because mobs level goes up to +2 map level)
While 25% look scary, mobs below level 200 hardly worth 1000 exp per kill, that means you lose 250 exp per mob. If you intend to kill 1000 mobs below your level, you lose 250k exp, which is less than 2 level 7 cards. And I’m pretty sure normal people don’t do that.

If you don’t care for the map level you’ll be stuck in an endless spiral of worse XP, though.
Let’s just say per map you kill so many monsters that on average you get 40% XP. Now if you suffer a 25% XP penalty because monsters are 10 levels above you, that’s 10% less XP per map.
Now after ten maps, you are already 1 level lower than you could be. That also means you get another 5% less XP now. So now we are at 12% XP lost per map.
So after only 18 maps, you are already 2 levels lower than you could be. Which now makes you only get 65% XP.
And so you slowly spiral down if you aren’t careful. And that means later on you’ll have to grind a lot more.
Dont grind for exp, it is pointless. Just do missions and Dungeons after reset then farm for your equips or make a new char.
Well their not much between lv 160-175 … (Yeah there a few quest around this lv but not much to pass this
And it kinda easy to reach DinaBee Range whit a good amount of card
If you whant to grind and save somecard for any moment you would find boring that would be your first real grind spot.
Either you can join player and help kill monster / kill them solo(Nice amount of silver if you are alone) or Afk party with a sorcerer willing to take you in (It possible he set the item distribution to individual for Silver grinding reason)
Overall you get between 1-1,6 (1 Sorcerer Afk) - 2-2,5(Cleaning the whole place) million xp / hour
Why would someone grind early to prevent grind later? Both are boring, at least you are rank 7 later on…
Again, while the number looks really scary, it is not. At most if will take you 1 more day running mission (each mission run at level 190 give you nearly 1m exp)
Of course there’s no reason to eat exp card to vastly out level the quest map, but generally it won’t hurt
There is no “grind wall” before 210. Srsly, there are much more quests now than it had before (icbt). No way to get stuck, also no need to save cards, just use them wisely, of course you wont use your Cards to outlevel the maps. If you want to save Cards, just save level 9/10/11 to skip the last 10 levels of grind to hit 280.
More like you strategically use XP cards so you have to grind less total.
And yes, it’s not so bad since you can easily grind multiple levels in a single day, but not all people want to do that. =p
