Usually get my XP from crafting Shotgun & Handgun Ammo (100XP a pop) after minig/buying ores/minerals from Merchants. Not very effective for me but meh, its all good.

Also do the hooch run for Whisky Bob (350XP) and get Aldo his 'medicine' (250XP + Caps, Items) whenever I'm in Klamath.

Teamgrinding with centaurs, floaters, sometimes aliens. Especially with snipers/instakillers. With bursters usually molerats and geckos.

Are centaurs soloable?

I'm lvl 15 sniper...
Title: Re: How do you grind?
Post by: Quentin Lang on June 05, 2010, 01:59:36 pm
Of course. Especially if you do instakills. Its alot slower while soloing, but you still can do it. In RT of course.

IN RT!?!?!?!

How the hell you manage to do that in RT?

I feel useless in RT since running takes away your AP and centaurs have same AP as me...

Can you explain a little please? :)

IN TB?!?!?!

How the hell you manage to have nerves for TB?

Personally, i havent touched TB for months now as i think its completly awful, buggy and time consuming.
Anyway, back to topic, instead of explaining, i could show you. Best try to find me is in IRC by the name of QLang.

You can grind centaurs hth in rt pretty easily past lvl 9. For rt shooting just run, stop a second get 1-2 ap, run, stop, shoot, run, etc. RT combat screws with the game mechanics because you don't use aps for movement so where in tb you can shoot or run in rt you can do both.

I don't usually grind, except I am really really bored over the limits.
That happens maybe ~twice a month? Then I go to some random molerat encounters... (need to nerf their xp, way too much).

I don't really care when I reach level 21 or not.

Best way is make 5k 10mm JHP ammo (on sg burster/sniper) then go on ghouls/molerats , but if you are hardcore make first 1- 5k 10mm AP ammo and then go SF caravans / Gangs near SF
Title: Re: How do you grind?
Post by: U231 on June 06, 2010, 12:38:06 am
Rats, Scorpions, Mantis, Molerats. That's the order I use for my low lvl chars.

He means: Run around in desert, and enter every encounter where theres at least 2 groups of floaters/centaurs. If at least one of them attacks you, then just run away, continue searching. If they attack each other and not you, just let them bullets fly, if you're a BG low level or want to save money, then use a flamer, if you're sg with high luck and better criticals then a BB gun, if you're a thrower then molotovs/any grenades, if you're hth, then just attack, even if you die you dont lose anything(i myself am a better criticaled unarmed guy, i usually do 0-5 instakills unarmed/floaterfight - nerf instakills btw). If you are SG however and dont have better criticals, and you burst instead, then dont even bother. You can use AP ammo to kill them, but you are wasting so much ammo its just not worth it, kill molerats instead.

Post by: iiitachiii on June 06, 2010, 02:08:53 am
I'm a sniper SG with 26% crit and no better crit yet, next perk to take, didn't know was that good...

Grinding in real time doesn't let me think so I don't do unless is molerats or lower.

I just don't wanna go against some ghouls with sniper rifles, and centaurs and floaters didn't try but I'm not sure its best option.

Still want someone to make me a "real time" show lol :)

Unless you have a big gang of jacked and tanned buddies, I don't know how you're going to beat a SF caravan with 10mm AP. You might get one or two shots off before getting hit in the face with an eye shot laser rifle or LSW

All you need is bob and a hammer.

I use scoped hunting rifles or assault rifles against ghouls and do it in real time.
They are very slow, so you easily outrun them, get your AP back up to fire another shot and run again.
Take out the ones with hunting rifles and assault rifles first and the ones with the spears last.

If you have a friend who distracts the floaters/centaurs is ok, otherwise is fucked up.

I just went to the desert to give it a try 300/350hp critters and looooooooong time to bring em down, also, got caught once by a centaur, leg crippled, dead.

Can anyone record a session with FRAPS to show?

I'm affraid I don't get it just using words.

Just one word: "Radio"

So you saying that all you postead in the last page was done by someone distracting the critters for you?

Wow, you're very brave and skilled.
Title: Re: How do you grind?
Post by: Red Bear on June 06, 2010, 03:18:27 pm
You were trying to insult me or what? ))

I guess that one word is not enough for you so I will explain.
What I meant is that you need 2 people to exp in 2 hours till lvl 21. 2 people is not only safer but also - more mobs. You just enter an encounter, make a radio spot and if mobs try to hit you or your partner, then you (or your partner) go out to global map and re-enter. So no one is distracting coz mobs are not attacking anyone except themselves.
Or you can exp without any help but it will take 4 hours instead of 2 coz there will be less mobs on an encounter. It will be a little bit more difficult but mostly your tactic is the same: you have to kill first mobs who attack you and then the rest (mobs who attack other mobs).

Easy, isn't it? And no one has to be so rude.

P.S. Almost forgot - RT always and whatever you do (farm/grind/gank).
Title: Re: How do you grind?
Post by: iiitachiii on June 06, 2010, 03:58:03 pm
Didn't pretend to be rude, just giving back the joke.

Obviously is way easier if you have someone with you but I'm not really into that, don't want to spend some others time to my profit.

Maybe if you're BG is easier since you can burst, but with SG Sniper its giving me trouble.

I would really like someone to make a video on this, cause I don't see how can someone get rid of a pack of centaurs or floaters with em chasing him. Tried myself and died, and couldn't even kill one of those bastards, they've got plenty of hp...
