Title: Merchant Leveling
Post by: Horizonnadar on March 09, 2009, 09:26:16 pm

??? ??? ??? Where should I level my merchant?
I had my merchan for 1 and a half months and its only level 43/32.
I've been training on metalings, it appears that thy could mammonite...... I mean like it does 400-850 DMG on me.
And I've tred orc dungeon but the leveling it so slow there and the mob is crazy.
I've tried every tip players has given me. But nothing....  =(  :([/color][/color]

fireblend + mi gaos is pretty good - mi gaos are the .. dirt.. things south of louyang - and they're weak to fire. Hence the fireblend

Err... leaf cats?

Merchant is not a very easy class to train without gears, although I'm sure you could at least get to job level 40 and change job without much gears, just a lot of meats and GJ (fill your cart with empty bottles, which are heavy and cheap from NPCs, and spam cart revolution).

It's helpful to have a merchant for vending and stuff, but beyond that it probably won't be much use to you until you get the gears  :-X

Well I have been told to train on Migaos but the grasshoppers they come at you, and then i got a mob following me with a mii gao and eventually the mob was to much and i lagged and i died  :-[

grasshoppers aren't that hard to kill.. easier than a mi gao actually. Try just killing the ones you come across so you dont end up mobbing them?
get a good bunch of FWings with you as well, so you can easily tele away if you think you've taken on more than you can.

Leaf cats imo were actually harder than mi gaos and not as rewarding, because of the monkeys and they take forever to kill. Hm.. if you had decent gears I'd say high orcs.. see if you can get a soul linker and a WS to come along with you and buff you, then you might be able to take on a few HOs? 8D
there's a free tank/leech service somewhere in the market on the forums, see if its still up : )

if you do leaf cats, go inside the dungeon rather than stay outside where the monkeys are. The zombies inside aren't that tough, and you can just fwing away from the occasional whisper.

Poison spores at geffen dungeon lvl 1 is where I level my merchant till BS. Spam cart revo for there are plenty of mobs there. They spawn fast and are easy to kill without consuming too much meats/gj.  ;)

Poison spores give to less XP 3 posion sprores equal the amout of killing one metalling
soooooo yeah and i cant get a fire blend =(

Title: Re: Merchant Leveling
Post by: notthecheatr on March 10, 2009, 12:16:35 am

Yeah, but it's much easier to mob poison spores than metallings, since they are aggressive and there are more of them on a map (I think?)

It's a common Ifrit drop according to rms, so I'm sure someone will vend one for fairly cheap.

Also the mushroom spores you get from poison spores you can sell to bios for 1k each, of course if you stay at metalings till you get a card, you could make sooooo much more torwards getting niff gears, you could probably trade a metaling card for a pair of eddgas

I used dual acc to get my merch to job 50...used a mage/wizard to level in prison and the merch was just leeching at the entrance and selling stuff...thats going pretty fast actually as long as there are enough people in prison so your merch doesn't die all the time...

that's actually a pretty good idea, worked well for me too at one point.

and this is where you can get free tanks or leeches btw; http://www.anthemro.com/forums/index.php/topic,57324.0.html

Yeah i've tried leeching before but it just lags and both my characters die. So i need other people to leech me but alot of  people are high lvl or just dont want to lvl me in prison so i need some thats lvl 33-53 to leech my merchant or if someone could lend me a fireblend then it'll be okay  ^.^

I just checked on RateMyServer.net that spores give more job EXP then Poison spores,o well poison is much easier to mob and kill /gg /gg /gg /gg spamming cart rev is fun......... /gg /heh

Karvo makes poison, but you dont need to worry about that since I think only Sin(x?) have the ability to make it, so just sell the karvo for like 20-30k, it's decent profit /ok

I've leveled two merchants up to at or around job level 50 recently. A lot of the ideas people are giving you are good ones, and personally I tried the poison spores ideas but it didn't work out too well as far as resource consumption goes. It could be that I suck at mobbing 'cause I'm really not the best player. What I used was metalings. Here's what I suggest:
*give yourself just enough dex to reliably hit them (for me like 16-18 was enough), and put everything else in str and vit, about evenly but if you have to make a choice make str higher. The extra vit will reduce the amount of healing items you'll need because you'll heal more efficiently, and have a higher HP total too.
*If you can get one for cheap, get a "Cutlass." It lets you use the skill "Bash" at lv 5 for like 8 SP. I randomly got mine out of an old blue box, so I don't know a good place to actually get them, it's just an easier, less costly alternative to Mammonite. If you can't get a cutlass, use Mammonite. Don't use higher than lv 3-4 on it even if you decide to put some more skill points in there. It wastes too much money at higher levels, but if you set your status as I suggested, you should be able to get away with killing metalings using 3 mammonites back to back. Later on, you'll be able to do it with 2 and a single normal attack. Learn how much HP they have and known when to switch to a normal attack and you're pretty much set.
Another thing... procellios give not very much more exp than metalings, but every now and then it's a good idea to kill them because they pick up your drops and you want those drops to make money that you will be spending on meat, GJ, and mammonite.
Changing my two merchants into an alchemist and a blacksmith I did also happen to get 2 metaling cards. I sold the first for 9.5 million and the second I gave up on trying to sell because people don't seem to want them anymore.
On the other hand, in the short time I tried poison spores, I got at least two karvos, so you can make some money off that too if it's money you want/need. And cart revolution doesn't cost you money to use.

omg you're going alchimest, that's just suicide grinding right there O.o;; not only will it take almost 100 hours leveling your humunc till its decent you're arguably the weakest class with low gears, BS is at least trainable

make your cart weight 8k and use Cart Revolution until job 50 on Orc Dungeon, get Grape Juice/Meats to help you on the way. I didn't have any trouble reaching job 45 there, the last 5 jobs felt like It would take for ever, but It isn't really hard o_o
