    Even then, a skill or different mobs don't make you jump from 25k exp all the way to 80k.... that is waaaaay too much of a difference and knowing how the game plays it is not possible. Unless they are grinding a new miracle mob that dies in a few hits and gives you 5k exp per kill....

    Oh, it sure as hell can. If you are grinding on mobs with high DEF like crabs for example your fight will take 3 times as long as say pterocs or antelope. That translates to 3x 25k = 75k. This is just an example, not a literal equation. The point is finding what drops faster without dealing you too much DMG is a huge part of soloing. The other is in what combination you are using skills and what class skills you have equipped.

    Like my PUG example above. If you spam light strike and pummel you are doing crap for damage. Using them to build adequate TP for counters then relying on Auto Attack which hits much harder will give you much faster fights. Haymaker hits like a ton of bricks and combining it with Jarring Strike at the same time you should be able to drop an equal lvl mob in 2-3 evades. At 35 it wasn't hard for me to hit chain 4 consistently and occasionally chain 5-6 solo.
