I found a way to make grinding fun, ok, you grind one account, when you get bored, you train another. This will decrease boredom factor and allows you to get more levels. Woot, using this method as we speak.

That's not going to work , lol 1) You'll get bored of one charcter 2) When your divided into playing two charcters it makes it harder for equip funding etc. 3)If your not into the other character you won't be able to train it

Grinding is training without looting.

IwinUlose : You need to be able to enter the zombie state. I'm serious. Back when coolies was the only good option from, like, 5x to 8x, I spent a majority of an entire summer getting my bowman to a ranger. I was able to enter a zombie state that allowed me to grind on coolies quite literally all day straight with the occasional bathroom trip and food. While in the zombie state, your mind is basically completely numb to what you're doing. You are neither having fun or being bored. You are mostly emotionless. You never feel tired until late at night. You are simply killing mobs and potting at such a repetitive and natural pattern, you think of nothing else. THAT is the true secret to grinding. It's a somewhat uncommon natural talent, which is why leeching has brought so many more 4th jobbers than there were before becuase those players were unable to get that far previously. The only tough part to mastering zombie state is not falling asleep, as the effects can be quite hypnotic. I have fallen asleep in front of the monitor before in broad daylight, and I get enough sleep at night. For me its not really much of a "zombie" mode , I just get cuahgt in the training waiting for the new skill

Now you got 2 level 50 characters when instead one could be much higher and could somewhat fund your lower level character

XDanerer : Actually it is good grammar. He should have said,"Not that good OF a secret." Instead of saying,"Not that good a secret."

You can simply block your exp bar with a piece of paper, or anything that you can use to block it, because while you train, you focus more on the exp you're getting, instead of concentrating on killing things, plus, not knowing the amount of exp you've gotten, gives you a funny feeling which makes it seem fun? You won't know what your exp is until you're done training ^o^

Ickest : He should have said,"Not that good OF a secret." Instead of saying,"Not that good a secret." Neither of these are correct grammar. A good sentence would be "This secret is not that good."
