I will kill 1000 mobs in one day.

Aquilonian - Dreamweaver

on double exp weekend. One mob at a time. Thats right I am doing it like the Chinese. I will report back.

For me this my first time doing this many. Is there anyone here who does/has done that?

RedsRose - Lost City

Ummmm...ok have fun.

And just getting a really good Zhen party in 3rd Map = Easy

Do not know where you going to do it....

Santacruz - Heavens Tear

hope you got a long music playlist lol

More, it's not very fun and 1000 mobs doesn't get much exp. I kill about 110 Acephalid Death Knight General's an hour when I choose to grind, in a 12 hour session that's 1320 mobs, at 432 base exp each. Since exp seems to be about 25% higher than base through mob bonuses, that's 712800 exp. Add in 456000 for 12 envoys and I'm looking at 13% of my level for a 12 hour grind session. It's not worth the time, though I've done it before. If doing it during double exp it would become 21.63% of the level. My thought is, why not just run frost instead, it's about the same amount of exp but in 1/6 the time.

Edit: For that matter, why not run TT and use the coin on oracles? At 20k/token an Oracle 9 costs you 82k (100k but you get 18k back for completion). A bad pickup TT squad should be able to get you a profit (as in after repair/charm costs) of at least 750k/hour. 750k/hour at 31k exp per oracle=283536 exp/hour from the coin, though it's not accounting for the kill time with the oracle. Regardless, that's still quite a bit higher than the 156800/hour the 12 hour grind method would provide.

ROFL, well I know I can do about 120-150 same level mob in an hour using my Nix. So in theory around 7 -8 hours continuous grinding at the same pace would get me 1000. I doubt I could keep it up for more than 2-3 hrs and it wouldn't be fun.

As a Barb ... I think it would be slower, can't imagine why you would want to do it b:shocked

Between Jolly, frost, anniversary events, and rebirth grinding is the worst way to exp and has been for about 2 months. I hope they don't end the oracle fest they've had going on. Not that I've used it yet (had other things to use my coin on) but it's by far more efficient than grinding for exp. Besides, who wants to exp entirely off of daily quests? That's some pretty slow progress... those quests are just minimum exp each day (plus on DW we don't get 2 BH a day, since they took the server down the targets stopped rotating, it's the same mob every single day, it's also a 25% hit to exp if you were doing 2 bh, wq, and cs).

That's just an example. It'll probably take a barb 2 whole days to kill 1000 mobs.b:chuckle

Blancheneige - Heavens Tear

Good luck. I'm bored after even 30 mins of grind....

DarkSniper - Lost City

Can't remember the last time I grinded.

CeliaZ - Sanctuary

I grind for 5k rep Not because I want the armor or anything but only to have a goal to grind, I cant grind without a goal... Its going quite well these days b:pleased

Bowlinbob - Lost City

not hard, just go to a starting area for a bunch of lvl 5 mobs

Dustinmurphy - Harshlands

sound's like that guy who announced that he would bang 1000 woman in one weekendb:laugh

Quilue - Sanctuary

i can safely say that i kill at least 120 mobs in an hour (well this is based on watching the timing on justice quests, how long it took for me to take down 80), 10 of that, yeah that's doable. not that i'd do it...heck no...lol

Winddagger - Harshlands

A possible way to prove you can grind 1000 mobs in 1 day, is if you have a recording screen file that records your game play. Try Posting it on the Xgame site thingy that the Gms them selves have promoted I believe.

ANywyas Show the start of the exp the mob your gonna kill and the time, and show it every 10mins maybe, and then post it when your done.

This can prove you can do it and in a short time >:D

I dunno I wud love to see it, wud be intertaining how long it takes a Barb to kill 1000 mobs.

I think wizards and do 1000 mobs easy if they are pure magic @_@

P.S. I am a blademaster only o.o

Which do you do 120 on? I usually hit the death knight generals and can only do 110. I've found those phoenix guys I can kill faster (due to a nix rather than a herc... nix is slower over time than a herc on land) but it's more boring, and the loss of the envoy hurts. Then again, the 85-89 envoy isn't all that veno friendly, lots of wood mobs on it.

I can kill about 800 mobs per hour on third map b:chuckle

Dont forget the uber hard <?> elite mobs in the room 4 of the cube.

Since was lvl80 i have been grinding on the sneaker messengers in OHT (lvl150 mobs with only 10500 hp) they give 509 exp per kill and counting bonus mobs as 1.5/2 kills i probaly get 6 kills a min. with 2x bonus weekend this adds up 366480 exp per hour. ok it still cant match a good zhen sqaud but for solo grinding its the best place ive found and you get about 200k coin an hour in dq drops

Brael - Dreamweaver

I've done those guys too, but I find they get boring really fast, our kill rates shouldn't be too different on them. Also, the terrain they're on is pretty nix unfriendly which is a minor issue but still an issue. I really like using my nix, but a lot of exp content just isn't very nix friendly and with the kiting plus hills in the area, that spot also qualifies as nix unfriendly. I know I can use other pets like a herc or well, anything else but... I went through a whole lot of farming to get my nix and I want to use it, I'm pretty ticked off really that so much of the game prevents using it unless you want to pick the worst ways in the game to get exp.

Your math is off on the exp per hour though. If you could kill 4 per minute (I think 3 is more likely, travel time between mobs tends to use up a good portion of time and your nukes are reduced to 25% so it's primarily pet dps) at 509 base per kill you're looking at about 509*1.25*4*60 for 152700/hour (229050 at 6/min). If you can do frost in 3 hours, it's 333333/hour without double exp.. about twice the rate. Coin farm+oracle is faster too, as is RB (though getting those as a veno is a pain... squads don't like more than one, if one at all... and veno's are a class in abundance).

152700 vs 156800 puts it slightly lower, but not by much... with both using a rather frantic kill rate. A more relaxed pace is more friendly to the 150's though, as player dps doesn't factor into things much... only the pet dps does so the kill rate isn't reduced by very much. Either way though, the leveling speed is just about the same.

A batch of 10-20 seaweed thieves every minute or so (Cloud Sprint Cooldown). That is like 600-1200 per hour. But I can see where it would be annoying for a Barbarian.

Devoted - Lost City

I kill roughly 40 mobs per minute. That's 2400 an hour. I once no-lifed for 16 hours.

~38400 mob kills that day. Looking back, I'm an idiot.

The_Champion - Sanctuary

I will eat 1000 waffles in one day!

Lairian - Sanctuary

You know, I don't think the exp factored into Aquilonian's decision to do this. This is about setting a challenging goal, and meeting it. It's things like this that'll keep the game interesting no matter what level you are. Good luck, and good hunting.

1k mobs in one day is a challenge for any high strung, sugar rushed, caffeine loaded person out there. Such as myself. X3

That's about 83% of the populationb:victory

I'm not fat! Or schizophrenic. Therefore I only make up one letter of population. About 10%.

I could to if they were at lvl 15 and below a 1000 would get bored to fast.

If you kill them in 10 seconds, spend 20 seconds looting, that gives you 30 seconds to gather them, they're fairly dense but not dense enough for 20 in 30 seconds. Your estimate per minute is off. Even if accurate though, you're level 96, thieves are 72, a 24 level difference gives you 20% exp, and at 360 exp per that's 360*1.25*.2=90 per kill. Even at 600/hour (which I think is high... 15 every 120 seconds I could see, unless you're not looting then it goes higher) you're getting 54,000 exp/hour, considerably less than what we were mentioning before. But, it's not like you said you did it for very good exp.

OP, when are you starting your 1k mobs challange? Even though we all giving you ****, at least I am curious on your progression on your personal challange.
