The lost 52

[Convent]

Okay, I am no longer lvl 53/52 and don't need help anymore. Thanks for the suggestions! n__n
=================================
Okay, now I'm lvl 53 and I'm REALLY stuck. I've tried west of CV, west of Eir, and Belt. I've been leveling up at Belteranin since I turned scout, so if anyone could PLEASE tell me a better place to go than for an easy kill at .05% I'd REALLY APPRECIATE IT. D=

Poem is void but I likes it. >.>;==============
I got to 52 today
I say I am quite proud.
I just can't wait for 54
I'll shout so quite aloud.

But then again I have to say
I'm stuck in my own right,
For I can't find a place to grind
That's worth my awesome sight!

I once was in Belteranin
from 45 to now,
And got enough experience.
Through monsters I did plow.

And now that I am 52
The monsters that I matched
Are much to weak for killing for
New born powers had hatched.

And thus I say I need a place
With good experience
But not too tough or risks too high
Or surely...

Dang. I can't think of a rhym with experience. Sorry, I just had a...poem in my heart...? o.o

I'm having troubles finding a place to have a good stable grind at. I'm hoping for a place that I can kill off the things before 1 ankle bind wears off, but gives more than .1%. That's how it's been in belt for the entire time I've been a scout, and I really like it when monsters do that.

I've been west of eir, it takes 2 ankle binds, but it's my closest match. Then next on the list of places is west of CV, but the magic casting monsters are killer and one more map forward isn't worth it (I've been there for too long on my apprentice). The last one on the list would be east of CV, but I'm scared to death of those things and it takes around 4 ankle binds and too much mp and arrows.

Any suggestions or help?

52 and west of eir takes 2 ankles? o.O

Strange. But you're best place is west atm till you can grind east. Though west CV is also an option.

Yeah, but I'm not full pow (16 agi and regretting it), and it's only in the last 10 percent of their health that I need to shoot another one.

K. ^^ Thanks!

I've got the same problem...if I ever get a stat reset I'm going full power (10 Men right now).

I've also found that if I go to the high level places with a party (i.e. to Rudwick or the icelands), I do NO damage.

To clarify, I do like 15-30 damage with windblow in the 1st iceland map. ***??? I'm pretty sure 50ish level squires and apprentices aren't having the same problem. This makes scouts pretty much USELESS in a party! All I can do is ankle bind spam (I'll bet siphon does so little damage that it probably heals the stupid monsters).

I feel that scouts are getting shafted a little.... :(



/Cute poem BTW ^_^

[Convent]

Well, according to someone I met at the icelands place first day it came out, those monsters are lvl 75. o.o My ankle bind didn't even phase them. D:

Rudwork shouldn't be too bad, I do about 200+ damage per wind blow, I think (amungst all the damage numbers flying), and I don't even try using just a plain shot (enemy's usually dead by the time I think about it).

[chaostade]

first of all, u can rhme EXP with VIP or something....

well I totally agree wih you two.
Yesterday when I went to the iceland with a party I've said exactly the same word
I feel so useless
all I can do damage was around 50-60
we scouts can't buff others and our skills are...well....not very powerful
(I can't see siphon, parasite & even poison blow will help a lot)

we r physical-attack style of apprentice but we do less damage
and they have more skills than us because we changed our job once
I didn't say it's unfair, just found it less interesting to lvl up my archer

about the reset stat thing....u know u can buy an item names "rebirth"....

[Convent]

This post was made a while ago, before the rebirth/stat reset cards. ^^;

Anyway, I know what you mean. D: But considering those icemap monsters are lvl 75+ (I think) I'm assuming that we arent SUPPOSED to do much damage to them. >.>;

Honestly I do more damage than apprentices I see around and it turns out lvl 52-54 is like the hump lvl section. o.o; Since I got over that part I grind like crazy, earn 10+% every 45 min (in a good grind).

Also, I personally thing lvling my scout is 5 times more entertaining than lvling my apprentice, especially since it takes waaaaay too many mp potions (approx 5 pots per monster).

((I can't buy anything from the shop. D: I'm actually pretty happy with my stats right now, even with the 16 agi))

Partying is the only way to lvl fast trust me

especially with an all archer party and 2 acolytes

[Convent]

Really? o.o Cuz I lvl fastest soloing, partying depends so much on if the party is grinding or slowly slugging along and other variables...and it's hard to find a good party. >.>;

But on my own I can regulate how hard and fast I grind and have full control.

[chaostade]

mathematicly soloing is faster and less interesting

I have 0.15% by each kill in west of Eir
with 2 ankle binding each kill takes me like 15 secs on average
(including repot, storage, rest and looking for monsters)
which means for lvling up I have to kill 666 monsters
so 666*15=10000 secs = 166 mins= 2.7h
if I never stop killing like a robot

with a 5 same lvl person party in east of eir or several maps far from east of CV
I can gain 0.1% maximum per kill
personnaly I got 50% in 2 hours
but it's safer/quick/fun

I just wanna point out that party is more fun than solo....

anyway what I said earlier is that skills r important & my personal motivation of lvl up
look at the RO & other games they have tons of useful (or beautiful but useless) skills
us scouts we only use 2 or 3

it will be cooler if we have some skills strengthening our speed/attack
or summon or making a trap (I dunno)

i came across a scout 2day..i 4got his id on solstices, but i partied wid him nd he was only lvl 48 while im @ 51..were both full pow but he does like 100 more then i do...he said cuz he has like 6app on his bow..so i guess that helps...but i wont bother since @ lvl 54 i get a change my bow! from there ill use the 5 xen stones i have on it 2 make it more powerful...if u think thats a bad idea den please tell me

[Convent]

Yeah, you should probably save your xens for your marksman bow. The 6 AP helps a lot though, so getting a high AP bow to enhance is a good idea.
