The grind on the ice map is much harder than what it was in LD. So my advice for all warriors coming up through the ice map.

This is simply not the case in 9Dragon. I struggled through the CS’s trying to make it up to GL1 killing 2-3 mobs then having to run and med. Once I hit GL1 I could not take it anymore and quite playing. It was not until I noticed the red pill of life in Hefei before I saw how a warrior could grind efficiently. Once I tried this red pill of life (4/1000 hp) combined with a HP trinket (2/1000) and a HP hat (1/1000) I was hooked. Later that day I told my friends about it and they referred me to the item mall for blood siphon panacea.Not only did I not need to hunt for these pills but I could get a better version from the item mall (5/1000). So I started to grind. Shortly thereafter the hp sweets were released. This only eased my grinding so I bought them when I found them for cheap prices in Hefei. Using the blood siphon panacea (5/1000 hp) combined with a HP trinket (2/1000), HP hat (1/1000), and a HP sweet, I found I could grind in any mobbed up area with 4 mobs attacking me. My HP would stay at full and I could grind incredibly fast.

I quickly leveled up to GL9 and then new patch watch was released. I quickly completed my second role quests and stated 300 dex 300 strength. From then on out I have only added ess to hold BK dex relics, and the rest cons.

Some mobs worse than others, but if you found the optimal ones that died quickly allowed your HP to stay up you were set. Also adjusting the balance of strength (damage/defense) vs. dexterity (attack rating/critical dodge) can help too. In the higher HM and lower LM I found more dexterity was needed. But as you get into the 160 mobs less dex is needed again and you can focus on strength and damage. Currently at LM8 I can grind mobbed by 4 for an indefinite period of time using all strength/damage relics and items not even using a HP trinket! Please note I also net between 5-6% per hour too depending on if I have buffs!

Ok,hope this help.
