LEECHERS STAY AWAY@@@ Anyway, so I was wondering where all you pallies grinded when you were WKs. As for me, I went on an ice rampage because I am extremely poor (Most of the time I have to go to leps just to repot >_>) Heres how I grinded: Levels 71-75, Magatia Party Quest, Extra D (Windraiders still gave 400 exp at the time) Levels 76-80, Birk, Windraider(At the Tornado Corridor) Levels 81-88, Red Kentaurus, Wolf Spiders(When I SERIOUSLY did not want to go to leps. >_>) Levels 89-93, Himes (Beautiful EXP, though my priest friend ran away from me after she learned how much faster other people kill.) Levels 94-101, Red Wyvern(Hate this place), Firebrand(The Inferno Chamber, Better EXP than Red Wyverns for me and less pot burn. Also the map is better.), Bain(Armory, Male Boss was REALLY annoying, He respawned like every 5 minutes or something!), Himes(If a priest pitied me and let me hime with them), Typhons(With my level 122 bowmaster friend, who is also poor. He was also originally a White Knight, but accuracy problems made him quit.) I have crappy equips, low funds, and use borrowed swords. How about you?

Red Wyverns all the way to 120 is best

You mean those epic pot burning strangely shaped slipping around when frozen wyverns who slam into my face as if a brawler rammed it onto me? I'd rather not.

I trained at Grim Phantom Watches from level 95-125, sharing the map with a level 100+ Priest every time who took the bottom while I rotated. The exp was pretty good, but it's probably nothing compared to Wyverns, considering you can even get a priest (strong one) to grim with you. I'd just stick with the Wyverns if I were you (Probably cheaper too, since the priest isn't even next to you at grims). In terms of how rich I was... I was probably in the top 5 for best gear on a sword WK (probably even all WK, if you don't count in the BW which is easily scrolled high) in Bera for a while. That all changed around when I was level 105 though, since 30% scrolls came out, making a 24+ dex overall common, Pink Adventurer caps coming into existence, and also the Stone Tooth Sword... because I spent so much on gear though, I was always struggling with pots (I'd DPT or have a weaker priest rotate grims with me to compensate for this).

No, I'm talking about the cheap training, fast experience red dragons that are so godly if you have any control over your character, actually. @Above, it's extremely selfish to discard us BW paladins in terms of funding difficulty just because we have easier scrolled equips ... that's the only thing that we even have over swords.

How am I being selfish? I guess you didn't interpret it the way I intended for it to be, what I was saying was that it's far easier to have a high w.atk BW as opposed to a high w.atk sword. I'm actually complimenting BW WK/Paladins by saying my sword's w.atk couldn't POSSIBLY attain the one on your BWs (I had friends who had 120 w.atk Morningstars. Hell, I even scrolled one for a 7X friend and got it to 115). In short: My gear aside from the weapon was superior to almost every other WK's at the time (No Stone Tooth, Raven, or even Claymore either, so I was stuck with a Sunrise). Edit: My bad, I just noticed I didn't specifically mention that my statement only applied to weapons being scrolled high, so its no wonder you thought that... though... I still don't get how that's selfish even if I meant it the other way. BWs are cheaper than swords after all, leaving more room to either scroll a better weapon, or the other gear... regardless, I was talking about everything but my weapon.

I went to V/Hoodoos from 70-78. I went to GP's for 78-80 and DGP's for 80-90. I did Red Kents for 90-94/95(can't remember). Then I did Red Wyverns and Brextons for 95-115. I went to skeles from 115 to present.

YueRiku 07/23/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Windraiders from 70 to around 8x. Then I switched between alot of places until like 87 or so, then I went to DGP until 90, red kents to around 95, wraiths till 110, and switching between wraiths, red wyverns, and TT monsters at 110+.

71-75 Yetis, Ghost Pirates, Lycanthropes (long time ago, then had an almost 2-year break) 76-84 Felt like a noob again, experimented with a lot of new spots but went to MP3 a lot. 85-100 Blue Kents. Killer on pots but I'm convinced its the fastest xp available at this point with the right strategy. 105-140 Elderwraiths. I didn't have ACB yet, so my build of Holy + Blast was killer for this area. Very nice moneymaker too. 140-150 Skellies. Once I had ACB finally, this was faster xp than Elderwraiths, although you don't make as much mesos here. 150+ Temple of Time. With max Heavens Hammer this is a bit faster than Skellies. Hax xp on 4x when you can manage it.

70-74 Cold Eyes, 75-78 Yetis, 79-85 Ghost Pirates, 86-114 Dual Ghost Pirates, 114-116 Grim Phantom Watches, 117-123 Red Wyverns, and 124-129 Skelegons. I've also trained on Death Teddies, Vikings, Gatekeepers, Squids, Gobies, Lycanthropes, Rexton/Brexton and Cornians but it was never a main exp source (slower but less boring) Since level 118 I've been pretty happy with my gear other than the weapon, for which I have had zero luck buying/scrolling a decent BW. Most Sword Paladins I know have higher w.atk than mine... I used a 103 Gigantic Sledge from 70-90 because Morningstars weren't available yet, so pretty much anyone with a Screamer/HG had higher atk. And since then I've been going through the Morningstars, from the first 106 atk up to the current 115 atk (got it at 118) Relevance of level 118 being that I quit my WK temporarily, trained my DK 80-92, earned somewhere in the range of 200-250mil mesos just from drops+marketing, and did a huge gear upgrade. Switching from Skelegons to Time Temple is crazy, the pace just changes so much. Skelegons move almost as fast as me, Time Temple mobs don't move at all. Skelegons die in 3-6 hits, Time Temple mobs in about 7-10.

Smeagol said: "I trained at himes, a newtie party ocassionally ( friends get you places =D ) But mostly red wyverns. And more red wyverns. I must have killed a billion red wyverns." That would be 2.5 trillion exp (2,500,000,000,000) , enough to get to level 200 multiple times.
