    Hey, so from experience of meeting players on other low rate servers in which they were grinding really hard for like, literally, 10 hours+ each day. I never understood how can they keep at it for this long?

    I know there are players like that on here, too. Players who are so persistent that they level up so fast. I'm not necessarily trying to be like them so fast as I have a long way to go when it comes to being persistent at grinding.

    But, do they like, literally stare at the screen for all these hours? Nothing else to accompany the long, tedious grinding? I know there's what many people put on, Music, but there has to be other means too...

    Multitasking is the key on grinding. Watch a movie in background, have a second laptop with a stream on (like I do), talk to buddies, etc. Grinding only is absolutely boring.

    Most people I know play in windows mode so they can watch videos/movies on the side, some might watch the TV while grinding at mobs that don't require much attention. Sometimes I myself listen to music, or chat with people online, that really helps to entertain myself while grinding :)

    listening to music , chatting with other people in maple , watching anime( only works for me if there is a safe spot in the map, else it won`t be effective training imo ) , just ignore that it is boring cuz ppl2pass

    these are usually the things i do (x

    //edit
    being semi drunk makes lvling easier/faster, as you won`t pay that much attention but not good to get to drunk ^^

    Can't really watch anime at the same time because like Neko said it isn't effective training for me either. I rarely listen to music while playing but often sit in Skype conversations with friends or have a stream on a secondary monitor which I listen to.
    However, most of the time I do exactly what you said, "stare at the screen for all these hours".

    Line up some engaging TV shows and/or movies. You will forget you're grinding.

    Music doesn't cut it for me.

    Ya most of the time I will just have a stream on my 2nd monitor and occasionally glance at it but mostly just listen to it. Music helps as well.

    When I should be studying, I like watching lectures in the background, while grinding. Otherwise I'll watch twitch streamers (mostly LoL), or messed up documentaries ( mostly insightful stuff) like interviews of serial killers or gangsters (infamous war criminals have been the flavour of the month).

    I find it extremely difficult to grind alone, unless I'm exploring areas that I am not familiar with. The majority of my EXP comes from PQs and going at mobs together in a party.

    I have a second monitor that I usually have a movie, anime, tv show, streak, something on. Or I have a tablet with a stand that I'll do the same with. Even then grinding for hours makes me want to hurt someone.

    I really like to smoke hookah when I'm grinding. It's calming and keeps me from wanting to get up and be active to be honest.

    I also have a roommate and her and I will just sit and talk for hours and I grind during it which really makes the time fly.
