Secret Diary of a Callgir- Newbie Cleric

Fishys and flying mobs are indeed awesome grind targets, as they give alot more exp than land mobs.

But you being a cleric, your attacks do metal dmg. Wood element mobs have weak defences against metal.
You may wanna look for wood element mobs instead of fishys (which are water).
If I'm not mistaken, most flying mobs are wood element.

Also while in the air, you can drop down to the ground to get away from the mob fast, incase you need to run. Something you can't do in the water

The vipions above Swiftwinds and Sumor (aggro, cast poison DoT and manadrain at range), the araneids west of Swiftwinds (non-aggro, cast poison at range, mixed in with aggro cats) and the two types of flowers in that area (one south and east of Swiftwinds, the other north and west of Sumor) are all viable grind targets for level ~40 clerics, with low risk of death. Though with the Goshiki quest string available to you at 40 which can get you to 45 in an hour, and BH available to get you most of the rest of the way to 51 (and the next part of the Goshiki string) in just a few days, you're likely to be backlogged on quests unless you feed XP to your genie and try to max your skills.

You get new quests every time you level so at 41 you will get some new ones and don't forget to use quest finder.

If you are level 40:
a) Start doing the Goshiki Quest Chain (http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=623592 ). The first section will give you 5 levels.
b) Starting doing BHs. Even better, start stacking BHs.

I recommend NOT doing it until level 50 .. because BH39 is much more a pain the BH29.

Also, what heal are you using. I hope you aren't using blessed of the purehearted. Because that is a worthless skill. IH is your main, wellspring is your backup.

Seal wise, I have all my seals and will use phys and mag seal (depending who we have more of in squad) just to make the time go faster due to lowering a bosses defense, however, it's not required. Just a cute little feature you can do on the side (at least at lower levels) the chromatic seal is nice cause you can freeze mobs and run (like all them exploding ones in 39 b:chuckle)

At level 40, it is cheaper to do Oracles for the wicked pirates over doing hypers if you were considering that. (use lifepowder or have a friend cleric heal you) and make up the lost exp that way. They're only like 20-25k each from players. Grinding in the air is my preferred, there are vipons right over the are where the wicked pirates are and that's where I did some grinding. But any time you grind in the air or water you get x1.5 exp versus fighting on the ground.


And just so you know... pure cleric is the recommended way to go. I have 5 vit and that's it. And I survive just fine. You heal more and hit harder with a pure build (mag does effect your healing abilities) And just so you know a duel between Pure Cleric VS Vit Cleric = Pure Cleric Wins because you hit twice as hard.

I know I hit a friend with level 8 plume shot for 800. She hit me with level 10 plume for 500. She was vit, I was pure. Within two shots, I basically gained a whole attack over her.

Don't do it because it's easier? I'm confused. And you tell them to buy Oracles, because they're cheap? How is doing Oracle II cheaper than doing BH29, in terms of coins? Could you elaborate your reasoning a little more, because you're seeming more than a bit contradictory.

First of all , BURN THE ORACLES b:angry , seriously ur coin can be spent for skills .
I think he means leave the goshiki chain fr the 5xs , because BH 29 is easy to do = lvling is easier. BH 39 ( which u get at 50-59) is a bit harder to get a squad for, so at that time , doing the TB chain quest can lvl u faster.

As a personal advice , i always say to people to complete their quests first , before they do BH or TB . Quests give exp / spirit / coin / reputation , and help u understand the strong points of ur character as well as ur weaknesses. After u finish all of them , ( if u havent lvled yet ) do the heavy exp giving quests.

Riiiight. I reached level 40 lately, and my heals are generally pretty

My problem is that I tend to go and run out of quests before I level, and even the slightest death takes a while to rectify.

Your doing it wrong.

You should be OVERWHELMED with quests until your about 60. When your in the 40s you should be scrambling to keep up with getting all the quests because you level faster than you can finish them all (this is back in 2008-2009), even moreso now because of the daily bounty hunter quests (2010-2011).

that or your dying so many times in one day that not even your BH quests and normal quests cant keep your exp up..............ive never heard of such a situation but if thats so, you need to start another class in all seriousness

What I do when I ran out of quest?....I do the one-man army quest instead of pure grind.

You are grinding on mobs at the same time gain rep pts and collecting drops from them gives money.

AT lv 71 now, I already have 13376 rep pts
