nice edit. making sure there weren't better areas than where i was. just because ive done it before doesnt mean its the fastest way.

Nice edit, really? I just made a typo mate...

Interesting though, what made you look into grindspots the 6th time?

Go MMV to 40, then Silver Drake or something to 45, then 45+ Grind in Abyss

What is this MMV? From 40-46 SR is good place. 46+ SR (boss run) and dredg.

Mist Mane Villiage

i believe Mist mane is only for asmo's as it's in morheim

i did my whole 40-46 in SR ... wasn't the best exp (grinding in bel would have been faster) ... but the shoulders from the wine and cheeze quest are totally worth it (also got the legs from the monkey) and the hat from the repeatable quest.

so yeah, SR is a very viable option for those who doesn't wanna grind, but grinding is definitly the fastest way to do it

I dont remember the last time I saw 2 different Mediator post back to back O.O...

But I grinded in Heiron mostly for my level 35-37 while doing quests as well.

I just recently hit 40 and i was in KHQ for about an hour and I got 10% with a 4-man team. I'm not much of a grind person so I would go with SR.
