aoe grinding ( lv 67+)

ZeroZ - Lost City

ok now that have offically restat to axes( thnx to lyandra and Sinnerz for the great advice and feedback) im tryng to get into aoe grinding. currently i have 3550 hp ( to low ?) and i tryed aoe grinding at night scream isle. but im finding it a bit difficult to do so because either
A. it eats my charm like a fat kick eats cake
or
B. i cant pot fast enough

so i was wondering is there a better area or a way to help me survive better? or should i wait till lv 70 to aoe there?

K heres some advice.

A) I Switched to axes at 74. So I wasn't your level, Alot of Axe wr's Go to Seaweed theifs (Outside of sanctuary) also you're hp is fine for now, When you're aoe grinding you don't go by yourself. You go with a cleric.

That way No hiero tick (or maybe 1-5 ticks in 1 hour) Both make money on Nightscream island and AWESOME EXP.

Im 82 and im still at NYKD for this last level.
But basically from 60-70+ I zhen'd instead of aoe'd.

Just make a friend with a cleric or 2. ( I have around 5 clerics I aoe with)
Of course you could solo if you want a super burnt hiero at more exp. IMO isn't worth it.

Also are you aoeing at Pirate minions or ? at your level you should be in the SYKD spawn.

Anymore questions lemme know.

Zhen is a full party of people leveling.

2 Pullers ( Wb / Wr's)
3 DD's (EA / Mage's)
1 Healer (EP)

zhen consists of the pullers bringing mobs to the DD's while they kill the mobs in a group.

AoE grinding consists of a Wr partied with just a cleric spamming AoE skills in a group of mobs while the EP heals.

I joined Zhen parties up until lvl 70, then I started doing solo AOE runs. When I do solo AOE I don't take a cleric, it's just me, sure I burn HP charms fast, but at the current prices of around 300K, my drops/coins usually go over 500k even at npc prices. I prefer solo to zhen or AOE parties as I typically get 2-5% more exp per hr by myself and it's no where as boring as Zhenning. As for good solo grounds start with the theifs, nightscream, wolves at immo, and then spiders. If you do go alone just keep an eye on your health at all times, you dont want to start going thru dolls as well, practice using spark attack, sutra and marrows to get you out of sticky situations in a hurry.

yeah lot's of warriors prefer to go alone, to me even if I cover cost of hiero, miji, I like the conversation and the money added, Grinding is hella boring maybe that's why I haven't leveled in a week or so.

What are the places you do solo aoe grind?

For me as for most it was NO of sundown town this was really great. Did level there together with an EP from 45 to 48 or such (until they got green).
After that the Shrunchkin Warriors which let me till 53.
After them i had enough quests and FBs so only leveled a small time around FB49 with those lions there.
But now i am lvl 56 and can't seem to find good mobs.

What are the next steps you do suggest either with an EP or with the use of hieros. Did try Mutinous Prisoner but they are non aggro, too far scattered and stun. Right now i train on the lvl 53 foxies at the very north east.

Would really love to hear what your solo/duo AOE Route is (till the end ^^). AOE is really much more fun than killing mobs one by one.

//edit: Axe Blademaster with all available Axe AOEs - most maxed (but neglected my solo mob skills).

As I mentioned above, I didn't aoe grind till 74, Around your level, (Maybe when you're 60+) You're going to want to go to seaweed's by sanct.


For me personally gosh I have alot of spots I can aoe at, Nykd, Rockenwolves, Spiders, Cougar's. Some other ones I won't mention because im not bugged there. =P

eleasarc

ah yes thanks - did forget about these true
Hope they allready work at 60+ think those few levels i will do with the lvl 54 (and maybe 60) foxies and not doing AOEing...
