Is it possible just to grind an area of mobs while waiting for xp alerts

Bales in downtown Millennium city give 1500 xp each.

By "grind" I take it you actually mean "street sweep" (just whacking down random mobs on the street).

If so, the answer is "YES! But it's gonna take a LONG *** time!"

In your early teens, the Irradiate invasion area (between the vault and Witchcraft) is pretty much ideal for you. The irradiates spawn endlessly there and you just kill-kill-kill (good for grinding Questionite during Q-hour too!).

In your late 30's, Andrithal and the Slither Beach area on the north shore of Monster Island are kinda nice. Especially if you're working on high level Arms crafting training. That entire area is positively riddled with Arms caches.

Any enemy you find is going to be too high level, and you won't be able to beat it at low levels, or too low levels, and won't give any XP at high levels.

To grind XP from kills, you'll need to keep moving from one area to another, or find someone who is the right level (maybe a second account) that is willing to sidekick you while standing too far away to get a share of the XP.

Another option would be to rescue civilians that give you missions when rescued; those give 500XP (plus XP bonuses), regardless of your relative level.

Your best bet is to just do missions though. I find that I get FAR more XP from the mission completion award than I do from all the kills I make working on the missions, with the possible exception of the "Kill 150 guys" repeatables.

remember when grinding take on mobs 3 or more higher than you
the xp gain is higher if they are over your level

The best place to grind is lemuria, because of the large number of master villains. Go over into the deep side of the zone, with the sharks, pirates, and constructs.

Before smash alerts I leveled up several characters from 34 to 40 in Lemuria. I find it's a very colorful zone, and it's relaxing to float in the water.

if you're in the mid 20s there's an open world event in the far east of millenium city where a lemurian ambassador is surrounded by tons of lizard lemurians.

If you kill a bunch of the lizards, then some ambush waves start. After the waves you've won and you get a bit of xp, some money and a green item. It resets every 45 seconds and there's a TON of fast respawning lemurians in that park all the time even when it's on cooldown.

I think they top out at level 28.

On grinding mobs, something I often do with my toons:

There is a max xp per mob, based on your current level. If you fight a mob 3 levels higher, that is the max xp for a mob of that type. If you beat a mob even higher level, you get the same xp.

There is a maximum number of levels over the mob level at which no gain no xp for beating said mob. I believe that once you are 6 levels over, you get no xp, not even for master villain types.

So, you need to find an area with mobs of your level or a bit higher, and then move on when you gain levels.

Also, higher level mobs award more resources per defeat. If you are going for a "beat 5000 of mob x" perk, these resources can add up.

Finally, mobs do occasionally drop items worth selling, or even keeping. For instance, my level 40 toons are outfitted with purple secondaries from level 40 mob drops. Mobs also drop mods at times. Level 40-42 mobs sometimes drop rank 5, or even (very rare) rank 6 mods.
