Grinding OR Questing ?????

[Orphenzone]

This is a question i get asked all the time. What is better ? Grinding or Questing ?

The answer is simple Grinding is by far the fastest way to level your characther. For example you take a 6 minute walk to do a quest it then takes 8 miuntes to do it and 6 minutes to walk back to the quest giver. You get 1200xp for the quest and 800xp for beasts you kill while doing / getting to the quest. So you get 2000xp all up for you 20 minutes unless of course you die (+6minutes with walk from graveyard if lucky 10mins walk from graveyard if unlucky) and have to add time per death to the equation so lets say you die once for a 25 minute total for your quest(with 2000xp).

In the same amount of time the grinder killed 30 monsters that gave him 120-150xp each and gets 3600-4500xp he grinds 2 minutes from the graveyard so if he dies he only loses 2 minutes travel time per death.

Exceptions to the rule for the grinder are "grinding" quests where you have to kill a certain amount of a certain type of mob so you get the xp for the killing and the xp for the mob.

Also be very aware by reading information sites on the web about the ingriedients of Librams (books that enchant unenchantable items like shoulders,belts,helmets and leggings) which are also quest items as well so be very very careful about any "normal" quests that you may do (especially from level 40 onwards).

Hope this little article was helpful for you leveling see you in the end game Orphs

I agree that the XP/hour is better with grinding. But the fun/hour is much lower for me. So I don't grind very often. I've had no problems getting to lvl 54 just questing and running instances. I actually enjoyed most of the quests I've done.

But if you want to lvl quickly, grinding is the way to go. Esp against caster types with little armour.
