    This, i saw that also.... Any mini boss can drop any weapon afaik.. I got Kromede Bow yesterday from the NQ version (1/3) :D but that luck is just sickening considering how rare any weapon is. Worst thing about FT (imo) is that the instance is extremely boring and not good XP. Granted weapon drop rate is abysmally low, but if the place was more fun it would be a better place to grind

    the only kromede weapons I've ever seen are the bows

    which is stupid because (as far as I know) the main draw of kromede weapons is that they are extensible (or, in the case of kromede's book, that it is one of like 5 books in the game with attack speed)

    Protip: Its an Expert Synth. NO ONE does Alchemy Expert. Also, it requires a drop from a level 47 hero.

    I already picked my classes, sin/templar and templar is a pain in the dick to level to be honest

    I never have to rest, but it takes like a minute to kill one mob my level @ 22, and i'm doing it correctly (snb+2h, not just one or the other) and i just really hate to think that getting through the rest of my levels is only going to get possibly worse than this.

    urdoinitrong then tbh.

    At your level, I could grind on the zombies in that firey area, forget the name, but I could do 800k/hr easily at 22-24. It's how I went from 21 to 25 within 3 hours(ish). Lol

    Stack Crit.

    On Templar at that level I destroyed mobs getting easily 6-800k an hour in Theobomos (usually birds, depending on competition) the class is a machine.

    It gets worse.

    I'm 31 Templar, and my survivability has gone way down. Now I just kill slow as fuck and get beaten at the same time.

    Some mobs I've found simply hit way harder than others. Unfortunately, those that hit my Gladiator like sissies are far fewer than those that could knock off 80% of my HP in a fight. I don't think Trocian's issues are uncommon, and going Crit heavy isn't exactly a cure to the ill. Logically, killing faster can translate to less damage taken (which is rarely why I use Rage in PvE since it cuts off 2, potentially 3-4 damage skills depending on chain/knockdown), but if you're questing instead of straight grinding, you won't have much of a choice in what you're told to fight if you wanna get 'em done.

    Mobs I've come to like grinding: The more armored skeletons in the abyss (like 25-27 in range), the Tricos (30-31), Troll Outlaws (Decent amount of HP, but they don't really hit hard).
    Mobs I fucking hate: Elementals, Lepharists, Basilisks, Boar-types, Elementals, mobs that imply an element in their name, Hulking Ettins, Worgs, Elementals, crap with potent HP drains (bats, zombies, worms), or defensive things that also have cure moves.

    I know knockdowns double as a stun (and of course crit sones help with this), but some moves mobs whip out are near-instant and you can't always rely on actually knocking shit over. Some mobs (usually larger ones) also seem more resistant to getting knocked down.

    Perhaps on the bright side, a Templar would be more likely to get scooped up for instance running and have an EXP source there beyond quests or simple grinding. Might even get lucky on loot, too.

    Ummm, yeah if you like resting after killing 3 mobs, or having to rely heavily on potions to grind and gearing yourself up with blues and +5 weapons.

    Mobs that you can interupt somewhat easily are good targets too. Once you get to 25 you can pick up a new sword which helps a lot. I went from the regular lv19 wind breeze sword to a worthy noble titanium sword and socketed a good chunk of crit and a few attack stones and its easily doubled my kill speed. I can farm the 25-27 mobs south of the manduri forest (forget the area name) and barely lose more hp than 1-2 herb treatments.

    Need a new weapon, but fuck spending ~100k on a green sword. Maybe I am doing it wrong.

    Holy fuck I found the problem.

    No offense, but 100k for a green weapon is *nothing.* hell that 27 white sword will probably fetch at least 30k from npcs itself.

    Look into the quested weapons you can get, not sure if asmos have equivilent Hannet (fire temple) or Inferno quests, but I highly suggest finding out. Especially at low levels your weapon should be your number one priority in terms of keeping it up to date, no other piece of gear will increase your killspeed more.

    Bleh.

    Afaik, Asmodian doesn't have anything like those quest this early. Guess I can't keep being a cheapskate >.<

    My staff is a piece of shit at the moment but god damn there are rarely if ever any staffs up on the broker lately. If there is, they're either white, or blues for 800k+

    Spending 800k on a weapon is what you need to do then, or do what I did and craft it yourself.

    Assassins are pretty good soloers after 25.

    Hardest class is Ranger, atleast until you can start kiting elites. I myself duo with a cleric so it's not that bad. Our highest level is a cleric (44) I think.
