Prime Hunting Spots RC through GB

[-Tiamat-]

Just wanted to drop in some input on what I thought were the best hunting spots for these levels. Keep in mind I am healer class. I put almost nothing in ess, wis, or con letting my bufss/relics/elixers do that. I have enough in dex to wield my weapon, and the rest in str. If you are a nuker, or dex user I'm not sure how much this guide will help you, but I added little bits in about good nuker mobs. Dex users will find leveling past FD6 to be quite a challenge. I would recommend reconsidering your stats, possibly even a chakra purge. Without a healer, a high dex warrior with not so high str will find leveling to be a huge challenge at higher levels.

Anyway - here we go!

Near Mid RC the best hunting spots were worm demons or powerful giants. Worm demons went down easy even the add on them got kind of bad. However they drop venom which sells at around 75gold and blue keys which sell at 200gold. Both of these are fairly regular drops. Powerful giants drop iron and brass on occasion. They die easy and they drop Green Passes of Death Valley, which are fairly valuable.

At later RC levels you will want to kill blood monks. With high str, or a self healing class, they won't give you too much trouble, and these is usually a party hunting them somewhere - especially for white clans.

At low RL levels you will want to kill lightning disciples. They miss quite a lot, especially if you can get up close to them. Hunt them in your first social map (Zhengzhou or Shi Zhang) if you can, because although they are in the next map, the chance for PK is always high in the first area of the first pk maps. Hunt them until you can move on to blood wolf riders. This is another popular party mob.

At RL5 you can start hunting bears, which will last you until RL10-11. Hunt either small bears or big bears, but do not hunt the normal ones. Normal bears are cursed. They add like 5 at a time, and pull big bears into it too, where as small and big bears won't call for back-up. Small and Big bears also seem to have lower hit rates. So hunt small bears until they go green, then switch to big. With high STR hunt bears is a piece of cake. Also good for nukers as they are fairly slow. There are multiple areas for bears, in case pk becomes problematic for you.

At RL10-RL12 head in the Conqueror's Cave in Blood Plain. Make sure to get some herbs from the surrending chests. They combat the posion that can affect you inside. Once in here you'll notice that enemies drop Blood Essence very frequently, and often in sets of 2. The experience rates in here are also a good deal higher for the same level enemy. At RL11 a monk in jinan or datong could give you .18, but an enemy of the same color in CC will give you .23 or higher. If you are a STR user the CC is easier as a whole.

At about mid FD you start to run into clay soldiers which hit hard and take longer to kill, as well as usually having some manner of status effect. I believe this occurs around FD8 or 9. At this point head back out into Jinan or Datong and kill the demons men closer to the VoH gates. They drop VoH passes which are always in high demand. They also die fairly fast, however you won't see many other players around here.

At lower SM levels head back into the CC, and go to the second floor. Here you will find more human NPCs. Same as before, they go down fairly fast, drop good amounts of BE as well. Fight them until you hit more clay soilders.

By this point you should be approaching SM8-10. At this level head to Hangzhou or Nanchong. At this point you want to be after the blood zombies. They are THEE BEST mob to hunt. Good exp, die very quickly, no status effect attacks, low ext wounds, very VERY slow (prime for you nukers), and there are three levels of them (like blood monks, poisonous, vernemous), so you can hunt them until GB3. While I was there they dropped a blood mushroom, and a Lv3 elixer for me. From here you can go back to CC to the third floor and hunt more of the clan-human NPCs. You can also hunt the vangard mobs outside of the wild tower, or the deva mobs outside the mansion, to get their respective passes, which sell decently enough.

That's where my knowledge stops, I've only gotten to GB5 so far. If any of you have questions, let me know. Hope this helps some people out.

Nice guide! im RC5 blood demon in bardo server and it much harder to lvl up then before. Its sucks! :-) hey do you now what is Holy stone of lifr or something like that? Some monster has drob it. What does it do and do i need it? How much does it cost? every time i lvl up i put 2-str 1-dxr and 1 to incrise life. How do you think is this a good way to build warrior?

well thats it. for now

[Samurei]

no...put everything in STR and in DEX the minimun req for your weapon...my oppinion: make a restart of your points...

Best Regards,
Samurai

That's not a terrible build for a warrior, but you'll probably end up with too much in con. I don't play warriors often. Samurei is probably correct though. For a warrior I would think something like this would be good:

STR - everything else
ESS - 12
WIS - 12
CON - 20
DEX - enough for weapon

This setup will let you grind at a very good pace, while still giving you that little extra bit of hp that warriors need so they don't have to meditate all the time. The 12 in ess and wis is enough so that you can use RC & FD relics (which I assume is what your stone is), and at a higher level, like EC, you should bump those to 14, to use EC relics.

Leave most of your CON to whatever buffs you can get from hybrids/healers, relics, and elixers. Try and up ESS this way too, so you can get more vital energy for your smashes and techniques.

Good guide. All the info needed is right here. Thanks a lot.

[caosraider]

THanks helpful for a newb like me

[Seraph[IM]]

Very usefull guide.Ty

[Broosser]

Where are the blood zombies? I can't seem to find them. I am SM6 now and may be a little low, but I can't find anything worth a crap for exp in CoC or in Nanchang (that isn't red). There's a big void between SM5 and SM7. I'm looking for yellow or low orange mobs that aren't spaced out so far that I have to fight one and then run to the next one.

[dndhatcher]

Evil Zombies are on the Ascending Plain north side just past The Castle.
SM7 or 8 is when you can grind there. Try the 5th coin guys at the gate between that first town and the ascending plain, or sappers. There is a good spot for sappers just out of the west exit from Yushan village.

[1LastDemon]

WOW, I needed this guide. Thanks, it helped sooo much d(^^)b

[Shirai Ryu]

So went to CoC last night & ZOMG the drops!!!!!!!!!!!BBQSAUCE!!!!!!!!!

I got 4 BE's last night & 11, yes 11 weapon drops!!!!

not bad for an RL11-12, in about 3 hours, the extra exp was nice too & much less running from super high level guys than in Datong!

[Samurei]

I had this luck when i was at fd1 lvl with my warrior. I was in cc and i killed moobs that dropt 2 BE's in one drop...wow...it was nice, i made a lot of gold then...

[Zabrian]

Thanks for the inpute good information

I had a run at the low FD levels where I got about 5 weapons. I've had one mob drop 2 BEs once. But the last 6+ hours I've spent in CoC I've had ZERO drops. Nothing. Notta. Zilch. For me, the risk vs reward just isn't worth it. Not to mention that the highest mob I can fight right now is white and the "good" camp spots are always taken. I hate running around to fight mobs. I prefer the "auto adds" areas.

[dndhatcher]

Get to SM7 then got to the evil zombies in ascending plain in Nanchang.

You will be back over 10% xp per hour there with a healer and get to SM12/GB1 in no time.

[-Tiamat-]

If you are a nuker you can grind on Deva Kings in Hang Zhou from about FD2 to like EC as long as your have decent WIS. They are ridiculously slow, and they usually drop superior/slotted/blue weapons. I've had good luck with collectable drops from them too, and the occasional Lv4 elixer.

Good spot to go to 10% health and get double exp on your nukes too. If you do that during double exp too, then you get x4 exp on your nukes, plus whatever manauls you can get also. Easy place to max your nukes at a low level.

[Broosser]

I tried the zombies starting at SM7. To be honest, the exp rate kinda sucks. Sure, they're slow and hit like little girls. But their agro radius sucks and they are so slow it takes forever for them to add. I prefer places with mobs on me at all times.

Now, the Scrappers that were mentioned just west of Yushan, THAT'S some good exp. At SM6-7 they still con yellow and add fast. I always have at least 2 mobs on me. They drop just as fast as the zombies, but there's no running around to kill them so there are faster kills. They will turn white at SM8, so I'll have to find something else then. But I'm content with with killing them for now.

By the way, at SM7 killing regular Scrappers, I'm getting 15-17% exp an hour. Not bad.

[Druegan]

Yeah, I've had good luck with the Scrappers too. Even at SM8 they're still the fastest XP on the map. I have, however, moved to some less efficient mobs... just to further some of my longer term fiscal plans

[blackfang275]

reading this helped me alot i had way too much con thanks alot

[XiaolinTiger]

so u start CC at Rl10. What is the max lvl that the mobs still drop for u? and btw what is the auto-add area?
