    Yeah, I figured venos are the best at that, but I cant stand playing one. Thank you for your input.

    Well to sum it up

    Barbarians - Use alot of HP but little MP charm

    BMs - same as above

    Veno - use neither hp nor mp charm

    Cleric - kills MP like made but never needs HP

    Wizard - Kills MP and HP

    Archers - Same as above.


    All in all, Clerics are the cheapest fast levelers from their AoE grind W/O repair bills and BMs are the fastest yer most expencive.

    Veno are So So - cheap not extreamly effective

    Archers and wizards are fast but can't AoE alone.

    At lvl 60-75 There probably one of the best for grinding, if you can get a hold of the lvl 69 slingshot your looking at really quick kills without using hp pots. With a crossbow you might get hit once or twice. At lvl 75+ it starts to get a bit harder as the mobs get more hp. But with a use of frost arrow, knockback arrow, stunning arrow, aim low you can grind very easily

    I seem to remember grinding ENDLESSLY (sp? lol) through 40-60, lucky there are plenty of air and water mobs around that level, most go down with just a few shots.

    Archer is good for grinding, I started out as veno and took it to mid 60s, I couldnt stand grinding with that character (no offence to any venos reading this xD), yet when I started archer, grinding is almost... a pleasure lol

    u can grind on the flying poision mobs around swiftwind at lvl40-around45.
    mover over to the OMA mobs or start killing the flying mobs around bamboo village.

    For regular grinding:
    I would consider archers kill-rate on single targets moderate-high
    1-35: MP/HP Expensive and can be dangerous depending on mob type, watch that red bar.
    36-60: Can be quite MP/HP expensive, danger-zone should be over or passing for solo-grinding.
    61+: MP/HP expenditure should start to drop, depending on stats/equipment you may be able to completely avoid use of potions/charms.

    Zhen groups:
    59+: Very expensive, and can include deaths depending on group/equipment. Good xp.


    In terms of cash, highly variable, some people manage 100k+ an hour, on less lucrative mob types or in level bands that just don't have that high yield you may be looking at something more like 60k/hr.
    Meek with words, abrupt with arrows.
