Alrightz, I'm lvl 153 and am finding training ridiculously slow. I want the advice from other pallies and their method of training. I have all my main attacking skills maxed (this includes HH) and honestly, I've been using HH to train ever since lvl 133. (Aside from the few times when I went to skeles instead of OBL 4) I have tried both skeles and Obl, skeles using dual charge + acb, Obl 4 using 140 speed + HH and Obli 4 beats skeles by less than 1%/hour. I was getting 7.5%/hour at lvl 151-152 so I say about 7%/hour now at Obl 4. So I am asking you fellow pallies for your methods of training and see if I can slightly improve my %/hour. Incase you're wondering, I have tried using ACB but it takes me 5 hits to kill mobs that hasn't been rushed and 4 hits to kill ones that have. IMO, HH them down all to 1HP + rush seems quicker than killing 3-4 mobs at a time using ACB which requires 4-5 hits which is enough time to cast HH already. Please do not suggest boss killing for exp, I understand BF yields great exp and I have done that last night to gain 90% in 2 hours but I prefer a place where it is easily accessible during anytime of the day.

I just sucked it up. I made a goal of getting 40% a day on 1x when I was your level. I didn't have HH maxed either. I find ACB training more fun which helps me stay motivated to train.

Hahaz, I'm not a hardcore grinder =(. I did set myself a goal of 10% a day though and it has been working but as I level up, the time to get 10% slowly increases so now I just want to know if there's something that I am doing wrong seeing how I still use HH to train while everyone says HH is only good for lower levels.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I got the same exp/hour as you at your lvl.

I established a cycle in o4 so HH cooldown doesn't slow my training..

You think you have it bad? Try training a bowmaster! I don't think there's much you can do unless maybe upgrade your gear to kill faster...

[/quote] Totally agree; BM are the hardest class to train IMO. Im at 151 getting 5-6% an hour so i wouldnt complain. I go for 15% a day at ob4 mainly using ice/lightning+ acb, rush and blast. I have max HH but i dont use it that much at all, only for when people try to steal my map or when there are huge mobs with full hp. I dont expect or rely on catching all events or buying 4 hour cards. Just suck it up or make a new char.

[/quote] I think she means that when she trains with HH, she doesn't need to wait around for the cooldown to end. As she gathers the mob right around 20 seconds. I was actually going to test out a bunch of potential training spots this week and see all of the merits (pot usage, item drop rate, exp, etc.) but I have way too much work to do. If you still care, I can PM you in a week or two and tell you what I get.

i train at oblivion 4 with rush/ACB/MW 5. My HH is only lvl 1 so dont really use it there. i have 2x card so can get 40% if i train the entire 4 hrs but i usually just train for 2-3 hrs.

[quote] ffsasuke : once u have max acb, max hh and max speed, u pretty much have the all clear to blitz obv4 till the end [/quote] Thanks Lvl 200 pally. ^^ I do have all those skills maxed, I am just wondering if using HH to train is more useful than what others says to be. Every other pally therad that asks about HH, it seems like the general answer people give is that it's only beneficial from 12x-140ish. Seeing how I'm lvl 153 and I still rely on HH to train at OBL 4, I am just woried that I have been doing something wrong for all these levels thus causing my EXP/Time Ratio to be significantly reduced. Is it a good idea to rely on HH up until lvl 16x-17x? If so, then it seems like the usefulness of HH has been underestimated by a lot of people.

...What? I was talking to the topic starter with the second part... Guess I should have made that more clear.
