Pro Tips for Efficient Training

1. Use Holy Symbol

Party with a Bishop or find HS mules for 50% bonus EXP

2. Maximize Your Gear

Don't neglect your equipment - weapon upgrades matter significantly

3. Potion Efficiency

Stock up before long grinding sessions to minimize downtime

4. Know Your Class

Ranged classes excel at multi-platform maps while melee classes prefer flat maps

5. Map Control

Learn spawn patterns and practice efficient rotation

Server-Specific Variations

Remember that private servers may have custom training spots or modified spawn rates. Always check:

1. Server forums for recommended spots
2. Community Discord for current meta
3. In-game rankings to see where top players train

Burning Maps

Many servers feature "burning" mechanics where underused maps give bonus EXP. Take advantage of these when available!

Party Training Benefits:

1. Holy Symbol buff
2. Safer for squishier classes
3. More fun and social

Solo Training Benefits:

1. Full map control
