My question here is this:
When grinding, how many levels above your player character is considered ideal?
I was thinking something like three.

Input?
Thanks.b:chuckle

    http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/drop details how experience, drops, and damage change with differing player vs target level.

    Basically, there's no bonus for fighting higher-leveled monsters until 5 levels above, and at that point you get a 5% bonus to EXP/SP at the cost of doing 10% less damage. Not worth it.

    It also depends highly on your class and the mob in question. BMs can AOE grind pure physical ground mobs easily, while wizards are much better at grinding magic mobs. It comes down to a balance between kill speed, value of the kill (EXP/coin/items), and cost of the kill (damage taken/MP used).
