is this game still a mad grindfest, havent played ina long time but pvp was kinda fun when i did

archlord is all about grinding yes, unless you have tons of money to waste on the game.

You can buy CC items ( boxes) that can award you premium ticket and those ticket can be used to get the best items in game...or you grind for weeks and hope.

At the moment the drop rate is 200% bonus due to the 2 years of Webzen, so if you plan to play again it would be the best time to go

Grind hard or go home sir.
