The lvl50 ring race... :)

5 more levels to go till my ring on my Page. My friend already got to lv50 already on his Fighter, but he accidentally chose the wrong ring and he needs to restart.

On a different note, the Monkeys at Golden Temple are friggin godly to train at. I started one hitting them during lv3x and they give 200 exp a pop.

I made an assassin, but I'm only level 35 at this point. All that statless equipment is pretty amazingly useful, lol. I, too, went to the white mama monkeys when I hit 3x. Those are just the best. I did a family 2x and I went from level 32 9% to 35 90% in those 30 minutes.

A quick question: Where are you guys training your little FPs? I got mine to Lv. 37 and apparently hit a wall (I was working on the Kerning Square quests until I was missing every other hit).

After Kerning square it's back to good old grinding. I went to truckers and then to mysterious path 3 when I could hit he mobs there at a decent rate. I played a Page, but it gives you the general idea of what to do.

you can do the KMS thing and go to roids in masteria. flat map = awesome sauce.

Shame FPs do crappy damage at level 35-37.

I'm a level 35 FP and I'm attempting to Trade Win at CPQ.

Got my first ring mule to level 50 already.

2nd Ring Mule is at level 40 Right now.

Will be making 3/4 ring mules total.

Here's my training guide:
1-10 Maple Island Quests
10-24 Episode 1 Quests
24-27 The Remembers Quests
27-30 KPQ/Grind/Subway PQ
30-36 Free Win CPQ
30-47 Golden Temple White Mama Monkey on 4x.
47-50 Golden Temple or Free Win CPQ

My first ring mule got to 50 in 3 days.
Brawler

1st day;
1-11 on maple island (i leveled from the lvl 10 cassandra quest when i got to Vic.
11-28ish job quests + Episode one up until the "avoiding the stink" quest, while doing the horny mushroom and zombie mushroom quests for Episode 1, I did the kill 99 Zombie/Horny mushroom quests.
~28-30ish Grinding in the Horny/Zombie mushroom MD.

2nd Day;
30-33 Grinding on Cold Eyes
33-38ish Free Win CPQ (trojans and speed, couldnt kill fast enough yet for rombots)
38ish-40 grinding on cold eyes

3rd Day;
40-50 mixed grinding of aregulare and dark stone golems and the Red Goblins in Golden Temple with 2x when possible.

Overall, about 4~5 2x buffs used later in the levels, and 1000 nx for 2 golden temple coupons.

My first ring mule took me 4 days:
A slinger
day 1, levels 1 - 29
1-11 from maple island
12-18 from training quests (Power B.Fore)
18-21 at monkeys in golden temple
22-27 at mama monkeys (half an hour 2x)
27-29 Ant tunnel quests

Day 2: 29-37
29-30, quests around ariant
30-34: Mushroom castle
34-37: CPQ FW

Day 3: 37-46
37-40: 2x at white mama monkeys
40-46: Free loss at CPQ (I go in with my mule, kill it and get full exp)

Day 4: 46-50
All CPQ free loss

Starting on mule 2, not sure if there will be a 3, it's 24 after day 1 (that was 3 hours or so only)

I'm attempting to Trade Win at CPQ.

I did one of those. Then the leader expelled me, forcing me to verbally abuse him. \o/

Sounds like Singapore is where I'll be headed.

I made a sin. That was only because i never really played one and because of those stars in the adventurer boxes but it is actually pretty fun and i might keep it...

Shame FPs do crappy damage at level 35-37.

I'm a level 35 FP and I'm attempting to Trade Win at CPQ.

My FP is 44 now...

I did a lot of the grinding in Cold Eyes and the White Monkey Mamas (golden temple). I never CPQ'd cause I kinda don't like it. (also did 30-33 or so in Mushroom Castle)

37-38 is when I could 1hko the White Monkey Mamas with Fire Arrow.

Help for LOLFPs maxing Fire Arrow (I did the same on my ring mule to see how training has changed since 2006 lulz):

Golden Temple: Heading the list because it is the best place to train for any class 1-50 (hell, probably most classes in general at all levels). I strongly recommend trying to find a 2x Buff before going in, as it will make your venture much more worth your while (ex. 2x Buff at Mama Monkeys on my Lv. 22 Gunslinger ring mule -> Lv. 28 and 50% by the end of the buff). In short, go to the Golden Temple EVERY. DAY. 30 minutes at White Mama Monkeys when 100% ohkoing 3 mobs with Fire Arrow is absolutely amazing EXP. I'm still getting over 150% on 2x in the mid-late 4xs.

Mushroom Kingdom: Definitely best for 30-34, though if you're lucky to overshoot that with Golden Temple, then great .

Freezers: Unknown gem in Singapore. They're found on the map before Boat Quay Town (to the left), aka the map leading to Truckers in the upper left portal. They're weak to fire, give 80 EXP, and are plentiful on the large map that's easy to cycle. Last night I averaged 98k EXP every 10 minutes there 100% ohkoing with 3 hitting FA on 2x. Not only is that almost always better than CPQing, but throw in a ring mule and it's phenomenal. You can honestly train here till 50 if you want, probably from the point when you have 21+ Fire Arrow (when it starts hitting 3 mobs; ~Lv. 37).

Pyramid PQ: Now that we have a 2nd Job mobbing skill, PYPQ is quite the viable option for grinding. Due to the 1 HP mobs dealing decent touch damage, it can be a pot drainer while you get knocked around holding your FA key, but the EXP at the end is nice. With all of the organizing involved in CPQ, I hold that solo PYPQ is much faster, so start going right when you hit 40.

Hope that helps!

lvl48 on my lolFP now and trolling the hell out of everyone at CPQ, the 3hit fire arrow is so overpowered now, 3x 2000 dmg at lvl 45 in CPQ = Epic!

Ah well, after lvl50 lolfp's are crap anyway compared to other classes, but till lvl50 it's pure ksing everyone again! Wheeeeeee :+)

Tomorrow the ring, and then I can go idle on maple again...

Despite what I said when this patch came out, I ended up raising myself a ring mule. Went with Fire mage because of what everyone said plus I hadn't raised a Fire mage since 2005 and thought I would go back to my roots.

4 days and little to no work later I have my ring. lol

Level 49, attempting to get to level 50, but I keep on getting distractions...

I have gotten 7 characters to 50 for their rings, and I still gotta do 5 more for my aran/lolcygnus/evan/DB/battlemage.

The adventurers I leveled up to 50 to get their rings (and to keep) are;

Bowman
Gunslinger
Brawler
Fighter
Page
Spearman
Assassin

The first to hit 50 was my brawler. I did truckers at 43+, but after I got him to 50 I just did White Mama Monkeys from 28 to 50 for all ranged classes, and did red goblins from 45 to 50 on my warriors.

These were all done in a week using 2x exp card and unlimited Golden Temple invites.

My experience with the fastest leveling class so far has been the Gunslinger. They can 1-shot white mama monkeys early, they have a nice speed skill in their first job, and have no minimum range. The other classes I have leveled cannot compare in ease of leveling speed. Assasin's come close because they can 1-shot mama's earlier than gunslingers, and you'll eventually get haste (but at a much later date). The only thing that makes the gunslinger win out over the sin is that sin's have a a minimum range and dont get a good haste until lvl 48 or so. The rest of my ring mules will be gunslingers.

Right now I'm debating on leveling a F/P and cleric =/ I'm not sure if I'll have enough time after I get my non-adventurers their rings before the event ends.

I'm currently working on a Page, lv42 at the moment, where did you train till 45?

So aran and everyone else can get crit rings? And do you have a speed lvl guide/suggestion for gunslingers? Other than mama monkeys?

For all my warriors I did;

[SIZE="3"]1 - 21/22/23[/SIZE]; Quests, including the demon helm quests. I did not use 2x exp cards at this time. You can get from 1-22 in about 2 hours or so just doing all the quests they hand you.
[SIZE="3"]22 - 26/27[/SIZE]; On my first warrior (fighter) I quested till about 28, but on my page and spearman I just did White Baby Monkeys using the free Golden Temple card on 2x exp card.
[SIZE="3"]26 - 43/44[/SIZE]; White Mama Monkeys on 2x exp card. The exp is really good, needless to say. Once you hit 43, if you have a really good maple weapon scrolled feel free to go on to Red Goblins. On my Fighter/Page I didn't have a good soul singer, so I stayed at mama monkeys till 50.
[SIZE="3"]44 - 50[/SIZE]; I had a really good impaler for my spearman, so I went to Red Goblins. The exp is higher there and the mobs are dense. Red Goblins only win out if you can kill mobs of them in 2-3 seconds. Otherwise you're better off one shotting White Mama Monkeys.

So in tldr;
1 - 26 Quests. 26 - 50 White Mama Monkeys on 2x exp card. If you are not melee, I suggest staying at White Mama Monkeys till 50. If you are melee, and have good funding, I suggest switching to red goblins at 43 or 44.

While I have not yet leveled a caster to 50 in this method, I would reckon all mages would be best off at White Mama Monkeys. Clerics could magic claw their way to victory to 50. Fire Mages have it the best because of Win Arrow annihilating entire platforms in a single blow. Ice mages probably wont have it as good as fire because Lightning doesnt hit as hard as Fire Arrow, but I reckon it's still godly exp. I/L mages may benefit from going to red goblins at 44, I'd have to look up the element weakness and stuff on the goblins.

So aran and everyone else can get crit rings? And do you have a speed lvl guide/suggestion for gunslingers? Other than mama monkeys?

All non-adventurer classes can receive and wear the rings. Non-adventurer classes cannot however accept the quests, so if you level a legend or cygnus to 50 you will not recieve a ring.

You can however level up a ring mule to 50, receive a ring and put it in storage, then retrieve the ring on your non-adventurer character =]
