How to find your own training spots:
Primary reference: Fiel's [Module] Big Bang | All Mobs
BB tries to "even out" the training areas by giving all mobs of the same level the same HP and EXP. However, there are exceptions, and you should seek them out by going over the above extraction. The new accuracy formula is such that you can't train on mobs much higher than your level, so you really only need to look at a small part of that very long list at any given time.
Some general things I've noticed:
- Theme dungeons. Mobs in Mushroom Kingdom and Kerning Square give more exp than Victoria mobs of the same level. Mobs in Temple of Time have more exp than Leafre mobs of the same level. When you consider that those areas also have quests (with exp rewards) associated with them, the choice becomes even easier.
- World tour.
It's not quite clear what Nexon America tried to do with these, but it's obvious they are not evened out in any sense of the word. Truckers give 4 times the exp of Victoria mobs their level; Galloperas give double the exp of Ossyria mobs their level. Seek these glaring exceptions out and use them, but be aware you're likely to have to fight for your map.
- Be aware there are sometimes multiple instances of monsters with the same name in the data. Use the new-improved world map to ascertain which one is actually in the game. For example, the extraction shows three different "Reinforced Mithril Mutae", levels 50, 75, and 87. By hovering your cursor over the appropriate room in Magatia, you can see which one is "real". (The others might appear in PQs or be summonned under special conditions, but are irrelevant to normal training).
Unrelated to that list of mobs: reconsider party quests.
Some party quests are poor experience pre-bb because they take a long time and have a high risk of failure. However, now that the level cap has been removed, if you can recruit a sufficiently bored high-level friend to eliminate Alishar or Frankenroid in seconds, these PQs might become decent exp/hr. (But note that with such a high level killer along, you're likely to get a lot less mob-kill exp inside the pq).
