Cryxtal's Guide to Grind/Zhen/Gamma

Kannone - Heavens Tear

native vipions have mana drain, sucks to be a wiz and grind those. I found it was better to do the wasp dudes between allied camp & mount lantern ↑30ish (where only the queens have mana drain).

to OP, shouldn't we complete this with a RB guide? that's a huge part of the "grinding" past ~ 80 to 85. Many ppl have no idea how to do it/setup a squad.
I know there are some RB guides, but still, let's make this one complete.
I can help with PS and some text.

Actually, here is a good guide:http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=258492
kinda' taken to extreme, but ...works

Cryxtal - Sanctuary

Thanks guys for all ur info ! Havent really had the time to come on and update.

As such ill be dedicating some time for the next few days to add on. Only thing is that if i add the RB guide i wanna do it in a post after my first. But now i cant. And if i add it into my starting post, it'de be so lengthy ! ewww b:shocked

Cryxtal - Sanctuary

okie nvm ! XD i just realised i took the 2nd posting position too ! wow wad luck b:laugh Q

To BrownflameZ -

Mention exp penalties with squad members over 10 level difference, and the lower drop rate with green mobs and what not.

Good idea, but ill need to get home and get on the game to experiment and figure e calculation (Unless they have it calculated somewhere already).b:victory

Also a wizard with max healing can keep a bm alive for AOE grinding on wolves and spiders (believe it or not). Were not as good as those mother ****ing clerics but I've done it with a BM friend who did not have WB/EP buffs or a hp hiero

To clarify , are u talking about duo grinding ? Cause for zhen u dont even need to heal BM with BB on.

there is also fish and undine parties that you may want to mention, i believe i started fish at lvl 78

Whats fish ? Sorry for my lack of knowledge in 70s 'Solo grinding style with a party'. Never really did one like that. And how i lvled was purely Gammas and Daily Quests. Also would appreciate it if you could state

1) How much exp u gain/hr
2) Who were in the squad (3 wiz/1veno ) ?
3) Which spot is densely populated with e mob
4) Whats e cost / How much do u earn (Approximately)
because i know it varies between diff people.

From here i guess we can determine how effective it is.

You might also want to get water gear with really good water res, expesially if ur LA.

yea i mentioned this. SEC / VEC robesb:thanks

Thank you so much for ur feedback. b:pleased

A very Helpful Guide, and i have an addition for you all. If you have an alt wiz, you can lvl them to 30, then save all other quests till later. Lvl them based on Dailies, and focus on your main char. This works good for any class, but if soloin is difficult for wiz's this has the advantage of multiple super low lvl quests and FB's being avail when you decide to do it. Shoot solo your own FB39. b:chuckle

My character has grown 7 lvls on just dailies since i hit 30.

clams lvl 75 in the water near the village of naught
great grinding there

Ursa - Dreamweaver

yup those are perfect for LA, cause u need at least 1 more hit to kill them, and WoP will kick them back allowing you to go untouched.
If u are Robe build, Clams are a waste of time outside the 2 quests that need them

i grind clams cause dragonmaids scare me after being in DT b:laughb:chuckle

Ursa - Dreamweaver

lol, yeah, i know the feeling.
But for a pure wizz the dragonmaids at 75 should be an easy 3 shot, from 78 ( with new rings) should be easy 2 shot. Well, at least they were for me.. Clams were always 4 shot i think...don't remember exactly but for sure were harder than Dragonmaids

Yes Duo grinding with a BM, as you take the place of a Cleric.
As for fishes, their called Ulfarin Supreme (Wrong spelling, but close enough :P) found in sea of isolation, right of 1k Streams.

1) How much exp u gain/hr

AT lvl 78 (when I first started) around 10% a hour if not more.

2) Who were in the squad (3 wiz/1veno ) ?

One EP, rest are DDs (Mages/Archers), maybe a WB to hp buff at lower levels. A full squad is preferred for faster kills.

3) Which spot is densely populated with e mob

The far right of the sea is the most favorite place of grinding parties, a large area with quick re spawns.

4) Whats e cost / How much do u earn (Approximately) because i know it varies between diff people.

For mages you don't really need a mp hiero with WellSpring Quoff.. I can go hours on end without using a single mp pot and just spark for regen. You can make more then a 100k in DQs per hour with a good party.

As a side note, you might want to mention Undines which can be found in the little river just outside of 1k streams and also below Dreamweaver port around sea of reality. Though 1k is more preferred, DWP ones have more HP but people go there for minimum chances of getting crashed. If you do Undines near 1k and over 85, its smart to get a BM in squad and pick up a trumble for the horses near the shore of the river, this way you get exp from fishes and the trumble . Do this every hour, rinse and repeat.

Regardless of how suprised I am that you did not hear about Fishes before (Lawl) those grinding squads play a major role for mages career in terms of grinding squads and mass leveling not to mention for no heiro cost with almost equal, if not more exp as zhenning (with a good squad).

P.S Fishes have a low HP and get nuked by earth attacks, thats why there so favored b:pleased

Ultrafin supreme ? lolz yes i definitely know these. I just didnt know u call them by the term ' fish ' . So was wondering

Ok gimme time to update some info ! Will give ya credit on ur part. b:victory

Parody - Harshlands

I dunno if this matters, but me and a few other wizards found Wimple/Bloody goldwings
(lvl 36) bad exp cus they are so far apart.
I'm just grinding on vipions/abbysal mysterys till lvl 39.

Cryxtal - Sanctuary

hmm i grinded there thought it was pretty good ! which aera did u grind on ? Theres on spot above near a town that has lotsa of em.

Parody - Harshlands

well, the coords you gave were above allies camp, and it was kinda crappy spawns there imo. dont worry though all the other spots u put are great
b:victoryb:thanks

mentallaxative

For level 38-40, the best grinding place I found was Lake of the Plume just south of Plume City. There, you have fishes level 38-40 that have less health than the aquatic fauna east of Angler's Village.

Parody - Harshlands

Thanks thats a good placeb:thanks
good drops too cryxtal maybe u should add the plume lake to ur guide

I believe the best place for wizard zhen would be Valley of Reciprocity.

Best place is vague! Locations depends on built, lvl so on so forth. U zhen at 40?

Native Vipion (Lvl41) (Wood) <379,781>

Cryxtal - Sanctuary

The good mobs to grind on are stated. if u are like lvl 43, u can choose to continue grinding on lvl 41 Native vipion till u are 45? then move to ramshackle roc.

Cryxtal - Sanctuary

stil no data on ultrafin. Pwdatabse doesnt have it

BrownflameZ - Lost City

Oh you might want to add, make really good freinds with a EP as well, like with the bm you can help them AOE. Your ult + Their tempest will two shot poison mobs most of them time. Really good exp, fun to.

Well heres the link to it. http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/mob/8469 Next time just try to look using the monsters tab then the lvl range and looking through it. I (my opinion) find pwidatabase search to be put together rather poorly so sometimes i gotta look up things using different ways.

Cryxtal - Sanctuary

Hahaha brown, yea i've seen some ppl do that. It'de be crazy to use Ulti for that, u gonna eat Chi pills like mad. Dont think u got much time to gather 2 sparks everytime BM goes and round up the mobs. Think ur main purpose would just be like ... morning dewww morning dewww morning dewww. And morning dew till u get 2 sparks, then pishhh~ BT XD
