Grinding in 1.18 - Much much better than before

I know another thread of these, I just want shut the haters who thinks that Sp is bad.
Sp is awesome in grind after update. Thanks to new spawns spots etc. Great patch for grind.

It isnt that grinding is "better" per say, theres just a TON more spots to do it in effectively now which is really nice
except for some gatherers who are whining up a storm cuz the grind spots are on top of their nodes lol

Anyway what is important that Grind > leves now. Which is much better for the game.

edit : I had to fight a lot to finish gathering leve in gridania, so I feel for gatherers a bit :D

Yess... Having to compete for the mobs since they aren't phased... No bit-sized goals to work towards... Perfect!

Stuff still respawns too slow.

Where?

My party has tried bunch locations.

We tried camp crimson bark last night. We are R42+/-. Efts where ok plus birds. But eventually they thinned out and there was more traveling time.

LL, there are young raptors by Iron lake that are 40-44 and some that are 45-49. Theres also a bunch of new monsters in this same range near Bald Knoll

At least fatigue is gone....

These respawn way too slow

@TheVedis And wth is this, kinderschool? The game barely has any players, and certainly not enough to have them swarm in and steal your camp. If you didn't want to tell us then don't even mention it.

Mongrels north of Bluefog are good SP until you get to the forties

I wish there was an alternative to grinding, also leves just dont cut it for decent levelling content..

I play on Gyshal, you play on Besaid~

Maybe we can work somthing out?! O.o hehe

I found a good spot for a trio are the 2 Amaal jaa camps near Hlalti best level range would probably be 35-40.

Sounds like you just want a thread to argue in and call people names instead of be helpful and informative. I like to do that too so im not damning you for it I am just making an observation.

Pretty sure in the last letter Yoshi said something about increasing spawn rates in one of the patches so hopefully we don't have to wait too long.

Anyone know any decent camps for r46-50? Except the r45 dungeon

those camps arent 35-40, more like 30-40
and they are some of them that run out of mobs rather quickly(already tested it personaly)

they are also overcrowded cuz people still are allergic to leaving thanalan

Grind > Leves

Leves don't give out bonuses for mobs anymore and they don't really give out as much SP. Also, chances are that you'll be at a higher rank so the mobs in the leves you're doing won't be giving you as much. You're just better off finding a spot, grinding for an hour, then moving on to the next spot. With no fatigue system, this is great.

i was comparing grinding now to grinding before
it isnt "better" there are just more spots

people are catching on, they just havent all found the real good spots yet(4 more ranks on archer and 9 more on gladiator and ill share my good spot, by next week maybe)

I can't speak for the lower levels, but I was still getting ~50k on a full set of 8 leves in the upper 40's. In fact I made almost all of 49-50 in two sets. (hint, guardians aspect increases the bonus at the end) At these levels at least I think leves are still viable means of progression for casual players with grinding thrown in between for people who want to play longer. This is exactly how it should be in my opinion.

Haha, yes ! Damn it. It might really sound that harsh. So again my English sucked badly on these forums. It wasnt sarcasm, this post was meant seriously. I love the changes SE made to spawns and grind. I know many people complaind about that leves are giving bad SP etc. I find it opposite. I like the change that leves give less now and people need to change their leveling style. More open parties make it more fun, than BW3 leves 24/7.

Dont take my posts offensive as it might sound harsh. Find my English offensive. -.-

Since we're asking about good grind camps to go to. Anyone know good area for like r30-35 grinding?

been trying to find one of these spots where I can solo as 43 MRD and get good exp.

Iron lake >
Young raptor R40-42 and Kobolds R40-43

What are the best spots for R20?

oh and btw, leves still are useful IMO. I was getting about 30k from 6 leves at R43 and they were really quick. Heck some of the bonuses at the end are more exp then we could get before on some of the leves that were really bad. Chances are, when done with your leves, there may be a good grind spot to go to that is within walking distance.

I think levis have some kind of base cap from the areas your spending them at. If you spend all 8 at r20 camps you get about 15k. All 8 at r30 camps is 25ishk, and r40 camps are like +30k. This just a guess from what I have exprienced and have read.
