    Do the one man armies.
    You get some extra rep, while being able to keep count of the mobs you killed.
    I find being able to see how much mobs i've killed helps me lose the boredom of grinding.
    When grinding thousands of mobs over and over and over, without knowing how much i've done, I just fall asleep.

    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    I did a few DQs in the 40s, but there didn't seem to be that much grinding at the time, quests should have taken you through 70% or so.

    One suggestion then if you're having trouble is grinding for money & just using CS to level, after quests this should only take 2~3 days (CS in the 40s gives 15% right?)

    It's possible to start grinding at foxwings pretty early if you get pyroshell/fire res gear.


    Stupid, but possible.
    Wondering how much longer these **** packs are going to be around.

    There are foxwings pre-60, too. Misfortune has some lvl 54 ones iirc.

    Yes indeed possible. But silly.

    Basically when choosing mobs to grind you need to look at the HP/XP ratio, elemental weaknesses and then how many shots to kill each. Having between 3-5 levels below a mob will give you a 10% damage reduction, 6-8 is 20% reduction. You do receive an XP bonus multiplier when killing mobs above your level. All can be seen here

    Use this link, lvl 40-49 mobs this lists mobs and gives most of the info you'll need. Just a quick look through I see the Ramshackle Rocs look pretty good, lvl 48 good XP and low HP as is common for Air/Water mobs.

    So to put it into perspective for a level 45 player:
    Ramshackle Rocs ~ 8400 HP
    10% damage reduction
    294 XP
    Effective HP = 9240
    Adjusted XP = 308

    Fox Wing Supremes ~ 14000 HP
    40% damage reduction
    366 XP
    Effective HP = 19600
    Adjusted XP = 439

    Foxwings give 30% more XP but have just over double the HP

    Edit:
    Terrestrial Foxwings
    30% damage reduction
    11865 HP
    329 XP
    Effective HP 15425
    Effective XP 394

    Terrestrial foxwings have 60% more HP, 22% more XP

    Still more worthwhile grinding mobs close to you level unless my calculations are off.
    I like pie

    ya i got some 1 resist gear in the AH put on pyroshell got out glacial snare and a bunch of pots with HP charm. 1 hour grind and i got to lvl 50 yay

    i think it took me like 40-50 seconds to kill one
    spark > glacial snare > gush > stone rain > gush > pitfall > gush

    basically it was use some random skill during gush cooldown and when cooldown was over use gush again
