U can AOE grind as soon as u have a couple AOE skills. I mostly use mp pots and rarely hp pots because of sutra and the genie skill second wind. As long as the mobs are like 5 lvls below u or lower u can do some aoe grinding. I mostly use fissure and highland cleave for the moves. Just start out by rounding a few up with cloud sprint stun with roar of pride and alternate with those moves. Or if u really want to have fun...u can use Heavens flame if u got both sparks. Obviously the lower the mobs are the more u can aoe grind at a time. So some fb19s and u can see what I mean. Those elite mobs have high agro and u can really round em up well..but be careful. Don't get 2 many b:shocked.

yeah sure you can start AoE at lower lvls but it comes bit more effective and "easier" at highER lvl's. around (specialy over) 60 with cleric and near decent gear (maybe even with white 1*b:laugh doubt that) Seaweed Thieves just try few first and increase amount as you feel.

As for pots with Cleric you need MP and MP and MP pots or Charm if you like to use.

If solo (I have been since lvl 70) just get clerics regen you can just meditate to full since no1 is pushing you to get that next group, and no I don't use cash shop, no charm(s), or anything else beside 2nd Wind and cleric's buffs. But again if you want to speed things up use pots.

skills you need: Roar(nothing quite beats free 4-5 seconds of DD), depending on your weapon path any number of AoE's(try to time it so you don't have to just stand there rolling thumbs and waiting CD) Physical Marrow(always helps with melee only, I use it b4 I start gathering and after Roar), sutra (if you wish I just think it as waste of spark but in some cases I am glad I wasted that 1 spark)

that said, try your limits and NEVER try AoE with mixed melee/magic mobsb:shocked also kiting(hit'n run mobs tend to suck too)

btw I am lvl 74 atm..quess I lvled too fast for it to keep up.

Chief Assassins in Nightscream is a popular choice for 80+ BM's to grind. They are all physical and spawn at a very fast rate so if you are the only one grinding there, you can get a good chunk of exp in short time. No Cleric necessary, just make sure you have high level Marrow Physical and use Sutra as necessary.

Before that, Seaweed Thieves (70's) near Sanctuary and Shrunkin (sp?) Warriors (60's) around King's Feast are good choices for grinding.

Grospoliner - Heavens Tear

Don't forget about Sirry Wine Camp...pure physical mobs around there...alter marrow and sutra and you'll be aoe grinding around there in no time (note all mobs in this area are 81+)
