Gaming How do you grind in a RPG game?

[mrfatso]

Legit and if i really have to use exp multipliers x2 and at most x8, that is the furthest i will never go

I love grinding, killing away my troubles

It is a really therapeutic effect to me

If I find myself playing an RPG it is either extremely controlled a la the first few shining force games or it is something that allows me to explore everything (might and magic style or shining in the darkness) and by the time I am done exploring I usually am levelled up by default.

This. As usual FAST is perfectly on-spot.

IMHO, if a RPG is well done, this is exactly what will happen.

Examples: Old FFs (I can talk mostly for 5-7), Mother series (maybe except Mother 1, that required a bit of grinding, and I completed it underleveled on the first time I finished it, though on my last replay my chars were powerleveled, but with no grinding at all, so I guess it's all a matter of how you play it) and a lot other which I can't remember now. If you actually explore a dungeon completely, when you're out, you're probably on the right level. If you dash for the exit, that's your fault, however.

A perfect example of a recent massive grinding game I've played is Dragon Quest IV for DS.
Especially in the first chapters you have to grind a lot to defeat the chapter's boss.

I do legit grinding at times, with 2 expectations:
-The EXP given is to low to level up fast
-I'm WAAAAYYYY underlevel

i do legit grinding if only the rpg is kinda interesting and addicting e.g not pokemon(i use exp multiplier x4 on this one) or it 's gave out too low of exp, x2-4 on this one

I usually don't like grinding much since it is there just to artificially boost gameplay time, but if something captivates me, then the legit way I go.

EXP

Go to the place where all the strong battles are and level up there. Just make sure you bring tons of HP and MP healing items and anything for reviving fallen characters.

Money

Find a money laden monster usually a regenerating mimic, high level creature, or money themed monsters such as thieves and rich monsters, then destroy them until you have the money.

Items

See your bestiary for the target monster and kill them until you have the item.


The legal way is best.

If pokemon is rpg, then I dont cheat. Other games I do use some cheat if I get tired.

usually grind legit through the game or pop the EXP if i'm bit underlevel for a specific quest or a mob in the game

The only time I've ever had to "grind" is that stupid part of FFIV where you have to get the rainbow flan...

 

[King Zargo]

I just quit the game if I need to grind. Grinding is no fun. I injoy my job even more.

 

[Kokuyoku]

Legit for the most part.

But Tierkreis is wearing on me so I am tempted for turn on EXP multipliers just to get everyone to a decent level for the final boss area.

 

[AmitZ]

I don't cheat on ANY game. EVER.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Most of the times I do it the legit way, but in games like let's say Black Sigil you need cheats.
