Good grind spots

Hello all,

I have made a picture, posted below, which shows some nice grind spots for up to level 40. I have used them in all my characters except the very first!

I have also noted two 40+ spots, Ivory Tower crater and Alligator Island. The AI is better but in the crater you get spellbook drops and some are really good money (Greater Heal anyone?)

Have fun.

Thanx for the ideas!

I always thought Alligator Island was a place to avoid since the mobs are so hard to kill, at least for the equivalent levels (40-43?).

What kind of character classes would you suggest going there?

I had never a problem with mobs in AI. In the first area (just beyond the port spot) there are Alligators and Crokian Lads, which are easy and closely packed, i.e. lots of exp. I could even solo there with a BD with FP set, top C duals+3 and self buffs. I used a lot of healing pots, but overall the exp was extremely good. Same with a WS.

Plus, ofc, you get to do the map quests, from which I got more than 1kk :)

Which alternative spot is better?

UPDATE: I have exped my sub in Alligator Island and I was really amazed.

I did 40 -> 41 in less than one hour, getting 30-35% per buff round!! This ofc gets lower and at 47+ I was getting 15-20% per round, but this is still quite good.

The gory details: Hawkeye, Plated Leather Set+3 (gathered and crafted by myself), Dark Screamer+3 Focus (from Luxury), STR+4/CON-4 tattoo, PP 56 buffs.

The PP was healing without shots, which was more than enough. I was never in any serious trouble.

I remind you to take the quest from the Freightman npc, the rewards cover fully the shot costs and you may get Elven Mithril Gloves too (1kk+).

Ah, regular exp-ing, as everybody does.. :-)

To the rest of the clan: What about organising a clan excursion to the island, with SE/PP out of party, for the characters 30-45? It will be fun! I was thinking of Procroustis, Cellia, the 2 Kamaels, Laxtaras and Betta maybe too.

What about B grade and above?
Where is a good spot after reaching 52?
BTW some people claim that life starts at 80.
