Okay so umm, i've been very naughty lately and I uhh...I have 200 hours right now b:chuckle

So uhh....I heard killing mobs my level or higher lvl than me can burn pk hours faster.

Is there an even faster way? If not, where's the best spot to grind lvl 100+ mobs b:shocked since i'm lvl 99.

I was thinking in BH cave solo since nobody can touch me there, but then again, those mobs are kinda hard to kill.

So...any suggestions?

-I'm never pking again once I turn white name! b:cry b:surrender b:laugh

    ...i wonder, do the tombstones in cube room 4 count as mobs for reducing red name time? they're level 100 IIRC...

    but don't do that, since it wouldn't address your basic problem; you'd still be being very naughty, KSing all the venos trying to level their pets in there.

    Enter the cube with a bow and 5k arrows. Aim for room 4, fail on purpose if you pass it. Kill the little mobs, theyre all oneshot [?] mobs, you can burn hours FAST.

    I got rid of 200 in 12 hours once :D (Had window 1 inch wide tab -attacking hile watching youtube xD).

    AFK or kill mobs. Killing mobs is faster than afking your 200 hrs, but it still takes a long *** time, not to mention you'll be wasting pots and repair bills. I would just afk it if I were you. The ratio of amount of mobs to kill vs the amount of hrs it takes off is kinda unfair.

    hmmm...i see....

    That means leaving computer on 24 hours a day for 8 days b:surrenderb:shocked

    In certain rooms yes. But not that one.

    DW about getting killed, you cant drop anything in the cube nor lose exp. Just suicide if you pass the room :)

    ^Horrible plan.

    Sins = melee. Not fun.

    Those glow worms are a venomancers levelling zone also. Which means you die every 2.5 minutes from triple nix ganks.

    most of the venos there are leveling up their pets o.o not many of the late game venos even go there and i always end up killing 2 or 3 venos there and a sin can use a bow ijs

    20m range and with a bow equipped an assassin cant use any defensive or offensive skills bar sparking. Meaning if a veno decides to attack them, theyl be lucky to live.

    Killing the venos would be counter productive to burning his hours and would attract more PVP.

    Those mobs arnt spam killable at the rate the cube mobs are.

    ijs, but that place is a **** choice of hours burning.

    Do full delta or help out with delta bh. All the mobs there are ? and each group has at least 10 mobs each. That's 100+ mobs in 20 minutes for a wave 2 run. You also get money and some exp to boot.

    If other ppl kill the mobs, does it still count? Like if I party up and someone else grinds for me, will I still burn hours?

    if your squaded you will still get credit im pretty sure i knew ppl who was squaded killing the bugs at the tideborn area... but you can look at the timer you have so run an fc and see if it drops on a big pull... but run with a lower sin than you b/c they can drop at the end of heads or what ever and pk you... b:victory

    No, I tried this with a friend. You only burn hours for "your" kills. I.E hitting over 50% of the damage on the mob. Kinda sucks but oh well.

    @Sinful The time is disproportional to the crime. You waste 5 minutes of someones time PKing them and get 2 hours of being a target in return. I think having to spend several hours killing mobs of = or higher level is a decent way of burning time.

    Ive played other games where burning infamy is only doable by time or cashop. (Although il admit, 5 gold to drop all 200 hours might be worth it lol).

    i didnt know you needed 50% of the damage... well to do 50% of the damage... cod>DN>focused mind>tripple spark>wolf>innor harmony>*wait for bm to stun*>tangled mire>subsea> earthen rift> shadow walk... you will do 50% damage lol...

    and yes the time should be 1 hr per pk...or even 30 mins... you would get a lot more pking going on... its a win win... b:victory

    Running Rebirth is probably the fastest way to burn hours if you DD, but kinda hard to find squads. Zhenning is almost as god as Rebirth, but no one has done that since like 2009 lol. AOE grinding would be next and map 3 is the best spot for that. But if you're blood red and AOE on popular spots you will most likely get ganked eventually. Nothing screams kill me for loot, like being 20+ hours red.

    Cube room 4 is nice, but usually filled with venos.

    Not all classes have amazing aoe-skills either. BM or Seeker would burn red way faster than a veno or a barb for example.

    Im not really sure if the mobs level effects the reduction, if not you could probably burn loads of hours on Night Scream Island or spiders at Immolation camp.

    AOE grinding right inside the portal of OVS will burn off hours faster than probably anything else in the game. b:cute

    Old Valley of the Scarred. Otherwise known as 3rd map and "The place with the awesome music".

    Shamefully accessing it is part of the map chain, which many assassins dont do, what with it involving several GV runs and the 100 skills being... far from in-demand for them.

    Also, lol AoE grind in 3rd map. For an assassin. Lol. Lol. Lol. Thats just ****. If someone decides to jump them while theyre busy theyre ****ed. The 1st mob to hit them after they stealth would ruin their escape plan, and for assassins that pretty much all they got. For everyone else its a great spot tho, I go there on my Cleric occasionally.
