Ever thought about applying for the presidency of the Too cool for a RoLS club?

We've had great luck thus far. (100% success)

One solution is to have multiple builds grinding (at different locations, otherwise you'll get confused). One takes its round @ BWM, the second in the kazaul cave, the third does shadow trainers and by the time you're finished the first will have the mountain filled with baddies again. No waits necessary.

Repeat until bored. Oh, maybe sign up for A.T.A in advance, I hear they have free taco's!

Yes, we have tacos... and IMO I like to see some 1/50000 drop chance item in this game ;)

That is a good point, it would make grinding alot easier if there was a rest point closer to the drop zone.

The one thing i wouls say is that if they put a resting point near the monsters we should massivly lower the XP given from killing said monsters.

I have 7 RoLS so I can say that it takes prox a week to get one (in my playstyle)... so RoGS is there if you spend a month and are lucky and completelly mad :)

I think the statistics are just fine. Grinding is grinding, and that's what makes the game worthwhile. If you want something special, you gotta earn it. I don't think any gold amount should be allowed to get these items. That's what makes them Legendary. I remember back in the day, I spent MONTHS, and 6 hours a day trying to get a Pink Tail in Final Fantasy, in which the drop chances are 1 in 64 chances, but you need to fight Pink Puffs to get the tail, and the chance to even encounter Pink Puffs was also 1 in 64. Not to mention the blasted things often ran away before you could kill them, you could see how I spent months and months trying to get the legendary Pink Tail, which you can trade in for the best armor ever, Adamant Armor. Get this....after spending months and months, I was extremely exhausted trying to get the item, so I went in the kitchen to make a sandwich. My cousin picked up the controller and immediately upon his first encounter, he encountered the Pink Puffs. To top it all off, HE GOT THE PINK TAIL TOO! So after months and months, hours every day, he got it on his very first try. And I WAS THE ONE who did all the grinding! But in the end, it was worth it, because I got that armor, and all my determination paid off and I knew well that I earned the item. And the power was extraordinary. It was an accomplishment/reward proportionate to the effort. That's legendary.
