Grinding Sucks
So anyone who has played this game for a minute knows that eventualy you quit gaining levels at a rate of three per hour and run into the grind. Everyone hates it, and quests only go so far. So what do you do to avoid the monotny of the grind? Do you listen to music, and if so, what?? Do you troll the FF forums? Do you talk to friends? Grind alone? Grind in a party? Tell me, how do you relieve the boredom that sets in during the grind?
I like to listen to music and troll FF. Of late I have found that Metallica is great music to grind to. Oppressing ghosts repeateable quest flys by while I have Metallica on.
So tell me, what do YOU do?

I help friends with their quests or take lower level guildies to the higher level maps and help them level. I am concentrated on helping them, that I don't notice that I am also gaining.

Usually, when I solo, I concentrate on my stone usage and skills .___. It works for me somehow, haha. I look for the amount of stones I use without resting and memorize when I need to stone so that hopefully the ratio of hp to sp stones is high on the hp end. And then I count the seconds of cooldown and try to chaincast my skills so that I can kill continuously. It works miraculously for quests that call for an enormous amount of a SINGLE BLASTED mob xD
I also have a habit of putting my earphones on but not listening to music, just the effect noises of fiesta o__o Putting on the earphones makes the mouse clicking and typing sounds dimmer, which is somehow appealing to my ears = =

Well, on my fighter, i tend to chat when grinding with a party. I'm always fond of people talking and participating effectively. Haven't met many, though. Some talk too much and don't help at all. Some don't talk and just grind. lol
So really, you just keep partying and see if someone interesting turns up. =]

I usualy only grind solo unless my wife is online. Shes my cleric. I can solo alot of things when shes online but shes a lower level which kinda sucks cause fighting is harder when you have someone to protect but she does heal me so its a good trade off.

See how many times you can bounce the ball [sic] and then try to break that record.

Yeah, I always have some music going in the background (mostly my own instrumentals), or I have the TV on. It gets boring but I'm a guild/academy chatterbox.

the Fiesta community isn't the same anymore as the old day, but it is life, there is up and down... to make grinding fun or not, it all depend on yourself, for me i like soling, and when i'm bored, i would help my friends with quest, jump on my noobs and go into KQ and help people with their KQ quest, especially Robo KQ and MD KQ,
- I kept my noobs archer at lvl 44 so that i can help people with robo KQ, when i'm in there always a win... "i use tier 3 vit, tier 3def, tier 3evasion, tier 3 speed." +9 GGK bow, tier 4 buff from my friends clerics... i'm invincible even without clerics healing... spam pot and stone."
- i use my clerics lvl 59 to help people with MD KQ, I'm always the MD clanker...with tier 4 buff clerics, all tier 3 scroll... always have 2 heart when the times reach 0, win 9/10 always...
- beside that i help friends lvl or quest, talk with people and make friends...
- Mess around with differences build on differences characters...
- scroll/stone/pot/decomp/comp production ... max them out... all my skill are tier 3 max..
- trying to get differences title... Monster Joker Punch Line - etc... KQ Quitter... Silences...
- there is so much to do... also you do have a life.... go exercise, get sweat take shower, hanging out with friends... do not spend too much times on the games... school is important... 3.5 + GPA will help you get into a good school... hehe GL and Enjoy this games... I love fiesta... and also looking forward for Starcraft II, and i need to finish my Philosophy Major
