No-one really wants to do it,
But we all end up doing it,
So I'm going to attempt,
To teach you,
How to,
Efficently grind, without even noticing that your levelling.


Tip 1 -:Music.

This helps a bunch, especially if your prone to singing along like I am *cough*, Don't use rock, because that distracts you, For example, I listen to Jamaroquai as grinding music, I'm too busy singing to virtual insanity to notice that some asshole is attempting to KS me.

Its like "going with the flow"

Protocol's Favourite Grinding songs:

Jamaroquai - Virtual Insanity
Queens Of The Stone Age - Go with the flow
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Dr.Dre - (Anything he made before the year 2000 is easy-listening) (New age rap sucks, since its all like "I beat you and you die, liek, I kill your crew and I kill you, so dont come in my area, or I beat you" )
Anything that flows, and is really easy to listen to, mostly pre-2000 stuff though.

Tip 2 -:Talking.

Don't talk too often, or get into "in-depth" conversations, but talk about the news, whatever floats your boat. It takes the boring edge off of grinding, and keeps you going, because your enjoying yourself, Especially if you have a clan TS or Vent server, or you guild has a TS or Vent server, Its always good to just sit and talk with people. Don't be embarrased to talk, Self-Conciousness is always there when you first join a server.

Tip 3 -:Tickets.

This may be able to apply to you, but obviously, tickets are the easiest way to grind, DONT BOTHER WITH SILVER TICKETS, WASTE OF CASH.

Tip 4 -:Storing up ticket time.

This goes hand in hand with step 3, but if you dont want to grind one day, either don't play, or stay in an 8-man share party. Then when your next ticket time comes around, go for one long-ass grinding session. This usually is better than doing it everyday, and at higher levels, you could even gain a level in this time.


PS: THIS DOESNT MEAN YOU GET TRIPLE, OR QUADRUPLE XP, JUST MORE TIME.

Hopefully I'll be able to add more as time goes on =)

Tickets and music are my two favorite helpers for grinding. I have a list of 10,000 songs that I just play over and over. I like to listen to fun music like MC Lars, MC Chris, and Lemon Demon the most.

I'm going to go faint from stomach pain.

...TEN K tunes...wOw...

Yeah, I have a bunch of music, I cant even fit it all on my iPod. Of course all my music was legally obtained..

Ya, and I shit rainbows.

hahaha...

as are our ones =D

Vent/TS helps too. If I'm on in the morning, no one is on vent/TS. And it's boring as hell. But in the afternoon, I can grind 6+ hours just because of the conversation.

WTF. Only I can call it grizz-inding...

Tip of the month~~

there is a program on your computer that hold control for you ^_^, so you just have to click the monsters once.

Start>All prog>Acc>Accessibility>on-screen key board.

click control, and it will auto hold it, just drap the keyboard off screen.
set you auto pot...woot and its 1 handed grinding ^_^...now you can like support your FACE with 1 hand and click with the other ~_~ (not for intl builds...because you guys need constant imbue spam T_T, but still helps a lot)

my longest grind = 9 hours :X

2 PM -11PM


what did i do? talk to guildies in TS
what did i bring? 2 repair hammers and my entire inventory was full of pots, nothing else. half my monkey was full of pots too :X

You can buy repair hammers? That would be so nice!

lol only in item mall now.. i had them before they banned the selling of item mall stuff :X 45k a piece

I think they should allow some item mall stuff to be sold by a special npc, some of the stuff such as the repair hammers are too good to just be sold in I.M.

new tip.
