I'm curious to know how long people can grind before getting bored. And what keeps you motivated to grind?

I used to be able to grind for hours years ago, getting 7% on my f/p mage at lev 6x but now training is like... ugh :f7:

Nowadays, I can barely grind at all unless there's a 2x event going on. In that case, I'd buy a 2x card and train the whole 4 hours. Regular training? Fuck that; I wouldn't last more than two hours. The most I can ever recall grinding was during that one event that was on... Easter? I don't remember. But anyways, it was a 12-hour 2x event, and me and my friend kept the map and trained on 4x the whole time. I went from like, 112 to 116, lmao.

I can grind for, well, as long as I need to? I grind according to 2x times now, but before, on my hermit, I could go up to like 6-7 hours a day and not get bored. I just talk to my friends while I'm grinding, they make it less boring.

The most time I have grinded was like 10~12 hours straight, only stopping to eat. But usually, I train from 3~4 hours daily.

Wiire
2008-07-09, 06:50 AM
Listen to music, chat & vent alot..

I've used to grind 15 hours or more daily, longest being 50+ hours (Not exaggerating) with only about 5 hours break (During 2x Events). >_>

Of course not proud about it, but it used to be all about the exp. ;x

Good that I've changed.

I remember seeing a topic or more like this on Sw, but you might wanna add a poll if possible.

Around 8 hours or so...

At most I've probably gone 12~15 hours in one day. (Including a few 30 minute breaks in between, of course) Nowadays its more like 7~12 depending.

ItzJack
2008-07-09, 06:57 AM
3-4 hours...

Luscent

My longest with a few breaks thrown in here and there was about 14 hours. Now I generally only have time to train during my 2x, but if I happen to have nothing to do during a day I'll go for 8-9 hours if I can't find something to do.

2008-07-09, 07:06 AM
I don't get bored. I run out of pots. Then I get to lazy to go get more, thus ending my session.
My longest one was from 68-70 though at V/H as a warrior. lol 10+ hours?

Rei
2008-07-09, 07:09 AM
My absolute longest grind-session is I think, 18 hours. :x
That was only once though, and a while back.

Pretty sure I passed out after that though.

A solid 18 hours? Jesus, my one time going 14 hours was hell on my eyes, and I can barely go 9 now. How in the hell did your eyes not fall out of your head at 18 straight hours?

I'm not sure myself. xD
It's certainly not something I'd do again, or even try to. I was pretty motivated at the time though..

& I think the chinkiness of my eyes helped keep them in.

When I'm active, I grind for 8 hours daily... but I can do much more than that.

Training is fun!

I can sit and train for about 6 hours straight before I start getting irritated with it.

I trained with Tiger for 8 hours one time. That was my longest grind session.

Bravedancing
2008-07-09, 11:42 AM
By myself... an hour or two.

In a good party, 3 - 4 hours.

With my regular training partner, we can go all day long. We can grind for about 6 - 8 hours then go pap.

Yes... it's sick.

Most I've ever 'grinded' was 12 hours. :eek:, That was just during the 4x event though. Normally I'd train 1-2 cards. Sometimes three. x_o

I knew I wasn't the only one who did a double-take when I read the thread title.

Anyyyywaysssssss. Longest I ever did was... 10 hours, my brain can't handle more than 8 on a regular basis though, my eyes hurt like a bitch.

It feels like someone is raping my brain, like.. in one ear and out the other.

I usually do 4 hour intervals, or just 4 hours at once. I get bored easily, so unless I have something like Anime or Porn playing on my screen while I train, I stop like.. every 30 min.

The longest I grinded was at least 6 hours. I was trying to reach a certain level.
Now... I don't even train or well, not much. >_>;

Idiotversion
2008-07-09, 08:13 PM
I think the longest I ever trained was maybe six or seven hours during that 12 hour 2x event. Now, I can't train more than 10 minutes without hating the game, which is why I don't play anymore. Although, I think it's Wolf Spiders that are holding me back. I just absolutely hate that map for some reason.

GW2000
2008-07-09, 08:18 PM
Wow, I'm not exactly a grinder. On 2x events (I don't buy cards), I can train up to 2.5 hours (usually just 1.5 hours). On regular days, I train about an hour.

Longest I've ever grinded for was about 17 hours. I can easily grind for 4 hours daily though. Yes, I'm addicted. No need to tell me. :f2:

2008-07-10, 07:35 PM
I made three hours without a break during a 2x Exp event. XD

Mopsy
2008-07-10, 11:27 PM
It depends on the character I'm on and if I'm with anyone, don' know why training with people but not talking helps, but it seems too.

But lately I can do 4-5 hours on my Bandit 2x event or not. And around 1-2 hours on my NL. I think the crazy rates my dit is getting are what do it really, because the hermit has hit a slow training point. ):

Dyxanije
2008-07-11, 04:04 PM
During the recent 2x event I trained for 4 hours straight; needless to say I felt like dying after that. So 4 hours straight is my record but I don't think I can train any longer than that.

If I'm really in the zone, probably 12 hours max.

Havn't been in that zone a very long time though, usually only train an hour at a time or less nowadays.

Ehehe... my record's 17 hours. x: I only took like 20 sec breaks to run to the bathroom and come back. Didn't bother with food.
Without any break whatsoever, I think my record's 8 hours.

ThisIsSal
2008-07-11, 07:15 PM
12 hours is the most i've ever done. currently do 8 non-consecutive hours daily.

Djinn
2008-07-11, 07:23 PM
whoah Karlai did 17 hours! Craaazy! The most I have grinded was 4 hours because of the double exp other than that I average around 2 hours.

AngryFungus
2008-07-11, 07:41 PM
I usually only do 4 hours straight at most (2x EXP). In a day, I may train up to 7 hours though (3 hours without 2x EXP).

Truly
2008-07-11, 08:01 PM
When I was really into leveling, way too much. The most I've been able to grind in one sitting was ~17 hours. I got around 9 levels that day too. >_>

I'm a bit glad I quit, although I almost feel it was a waste.

chrome
2008-07-11, 08:27 PM
I only grind when there's a big goal in front of me. On my Hermit's 60 - 70 I grinded...7 hours straight to get from 69 to 70, maybe more than 7. Spent 8 hours getting 1 - 32 on my Sniper in one day, pure training. During Hybe's 60 - 70, I spent the whole day getting 3 levels to end up at 68.

Nowadays I barely train at all; longest I've trained was 4 hours during a 2x event.

Eldin
2008-07-12, 02:17 PM
I used to be able to pull eight-hour shifts during the day and smaller sessions from 2 AM to 6 AM (probably why my junior high grades phailed :f3:) when I was truly addicted.
I could probably goof around on maple for maybe six hours without a break now, but grinding?
2-3 hours, max.

2008-07-12, 02:24 PM

I've never been called Karlai before. That's a new one. :3

That crazy time was surprisingly not on 2x. I was merely getting from 68 to 70. On that note, I'll say that I/L training at zombies = phail. I easily used 200+ of those x-mas pies. This was waaay back in December 2006. :\

2008-07-18, 04:27 PM
2 hours at a time is about my limit, but I don't take long breaks if I'm motivated. I've done upward of 14 hours of training in a day, not often..

2008-07-18, 04:41 PM
I think the longest I can do is around an hour before getting bored.
Probably the reason I've never gotten past level 55 in 3 years of on/off playing. lolol D:

Retalion
2008-07-18, 05:51 PM
Most Ive done was 7 hours: 2 hours before my 2x card to get a map, 4 hours of 2x, then 1 hour afterwards cause I was close to leveling.

I dont train for an extended period of time unless I have a 2x exp card... (I dont even train during the event ones... I cant wake up on time xD)

blitzkrieg
2008-07-18, 05:58 PM
The longest I've trained consecutively is 18 hours.. And afterwards, I quit the game for 3 months. That was back before 2x cards though and I was like half-awake, zoning out at Z4.

More recently I got from 110 to 120 on my jMS Bishop in one day. Didn't really check how long it took, but it was a hell of a long time, even with the 2x EXP + 2x EXP card (4x) event.. Now the longest I'll go is about 6 hours or so.

I got to 161 in ~5 months with 16 hours in a row beeing the longest. Allthough at one time I used do to 10 hours of training and 10 hours of chemistry extra classes for a 4 day duration that would probably my best "hardcoring" prestation wich is probably supposed to be flaunted in this thread.

2008-07-27, 01:29 AM
I can train for hours at a time if I'm in a grinding mood -- which can be anywhere between 4-8 hours (lol). Longest I've ever grinded was 8 hours if I remembered correctly.

A grind session typically stands for 2-3 hours 'cause 1 hour feels kinda short. It's like, if I'm gunna grind, I may as well go for longer. Also, having people train with me/leech off me is a way to discourage myself from bailing too soon. -- it makes me feel bad sometimes.

Kawasari Mimoto
2008-08-09, 06:24 PM

Longest, probably 12 hours.

Normally, 4-8, depends if I have 1 or 2 2X cards.

I trained 12 when I had 3. Didn't use it as much as I thought I would, so I stick to 2 now.

azngangster2002
2008-08-17, 08:10 AM
A long time ago, I bought 3 10day 2x cards at the same time. I grinded every single hour of all 3 cards. 4 days after it ended, I'm sleeping with 2 other kids in a mental hospital in Fremont, CA. No joke. Damn it though, met this really crazy hot slut there. :excellent:

P.S. Waking up to some 14 year old kid pretending to hump the bathroom door and making moaning noises really messed my head up. Came out more retarded than I came in.

2008-09-17, 07:44 PM
13-14 hours is probably my max. I don't know, I've never done grind sessions past 13 hours straight. I used to do a lot of 6-8 hour sessions, but then I changed to strictly 4 hour sessions. How often I train goes up and down, often in long bursts followed by long cooling downs. *shrugs*

I just recently farmed Blue Kents for 8 hours straight one day, looking for a Notebook. I've lost track of how many total hours I've put in there. For some reason, even though I'm gaining almost literally no % at a place like that, it doesn't seem tedious. When quests give me a focused goal, I have no trouble committing to it - no matter what it takes.

2008-09-17, 07:49 PM
i know what ya mean felix.
I could kill fire boars or drum bunnies in the new dungeon all day just looking for a 54+ att kfan.

Or cellions all day just for money.
But the second its for exp its like OMFG -cut wrists-

Firebirdies
2008-09-17, 07:52 PM
12-13 is my max as long as I have 2x.
Without 2x then it's about 6-8.

Hero
2008-09-18, 02:47 AM
I used to be able to grind from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. And I only got around 6 hours of sleep during those days.

Then it slowly broke down into smaller parts, more lunch/fap breaks, more just hanging around.

Eventually just a few hours a day.

Then I quit.

:heart:

ROFLMAOMGWTH
2008-09-18, 03:18 AM
If I have a place that gives fast exp, I'll grind for 2~4 hours per day usually. Otherwise, I screw around with events and work on funds for those ludicrously expensive attack shields.

Especially because my hermit was level 68 around that time it was xmas so I had two weeks off and my mom got me 100k NX so I went all out and sold it all and got a PAC, Nice Bracer, 10atk, etc. So I trained at zombies for who knows how long.

On 2x exp 16 - 20 hours daily
On 1x exp when Im motivated, up to 12 hours
On 1x Exp when Im not motivated at all, uuh about 4 - 6 hours. Then I need a break badly.

When I was on my Ranger, I leveled up like once a month. >_> I couldn't grind for more than an hour straight during late 8x-early 9x.

Most I've grinded was like... maybe 8+ hours, at Vhoodoos at like 84. I was really motivated at the time. o_o

Now, with my new Hunter, I can grind for at the most 4 hours, but when in a good mood, I grind for more. It's the motivation to get back to 10x, I guess. :x

When I was in my 11x, I grinded for like 10 hours staright per day, with no break except for necessity (washroom, food, sleep).

Now that I'm 4th job though, I'm burnt out. I recently started levelling again but I can still sustain 2-3 hours tops before needing to do something else.

I grinded 19 hours once...
4x event...

I grinded way more before that lame bans,I'm pretty sure I trained for around 22-23hours (eat,bathroom,etc breaks)

I stronly recommend to all SouthPerry.net members to NEVER grind more for than 4 hours o.o ...(unless you really have nothing to do with your life but play maple,I mean it,lol)

The longest continuous I've ever gone is 4 hours during my 4 hour 2x cards.

On average I'll go for an hour to 90 minutes at a time. If I take a short break in between I can motivate my self to do multiple hour to 90 minute long sessions per day.

I also found one of my old noobs that had the work glove quest, I got a blue work glove. <3 Now.. I know I had more bandanas and possibly a red/green skullcap somewhere. I'm also level 24 now. :P

Also.. too lazy to get on MapleStory.

On average, 1-2hours.

When I have a reason to grind (ex. 2x), only up to 5hours ):

I usually train for about 4-6 hours now, but when i was rushing to get to 120 before 4th came out, i was easily grinding for up to 20 hrs a day.

I'm curious to know how long people can grind before getting bored. And what keeps you motivated to grind?

I used to be able to grind for hours years ago, getting 7% on my f/p mage at lev 6x but now training is like... ugh :f7:
Average 3~5 hours w/o 2x EXP card. If there's 2x EXP event, I'll buy 2x EXP card and grind 5~8 hours and sometimes change user.
(P/S :MapleSEA's 2x EXP card isn't 4 hours but 24 hours.)

i guess it does happen to everyone...including me. people would tend to grind for several hours in a day to reach a goal as motivation...whether reaching to 3rd/4th jobs, maxing skills, getting to use better equipment, or something else...i did a lot of grinding to reach 3rd and 4th job...but now to me, once you passed a little bit beyond 4th job, you start to get less motivated as you've reached most of your goals, and tend to grind and train a bit less...
grinding at high levels is very boring, very tedious, and sometimes end up as not that rewarding once as you'd expect when you actually level...
so now...i just hunt bosses for exp and loot to level...as to me, it's not worth to grind at skeles or newts for hours in a day to level...it's just too boring... and leveling to 200 has never been one of my goals to keep grinding and i don't think i want to go to level 200, that'd be a little too much for me...at most is just to max out a few of my 4th job skills....

I tried something new today while training. I just put about 6 little pieces of paper over the exp bar, enough so that I couldn't see it, and taped it up. I got the idea from earlier in this thread (I think) and it really did work. Usually I'm constantly looking at my exp bar and checking my exp/hr, but with this I just sat back and grinded without even thinking about it, which made it more enjoyable. I was also pleased to see I got 17%, and i probably would've gotten like 5% if I didn't do this :D

I can do a whole 4 hours of griding. On 2x. If not, fuck that.

I royally 'hate' grinding. I'd rather do quests or train/chat with friends. That last option makes me die a lot, but it's not like I care. I'm the kind of person that gets bored easily if things get too repeatitive. I like change and experiencing different ways of doing things.

But on rare occasions, I happen to grind for max two hours. Mostly for 2x EXP events or when training a friend.

Just adding something: I hate it as well when you go on to chat with friends, but they neglect you [when I say this, I mean more than once. It is understandable when you are close to levelling up] only to level. Very disappointing. ;<

Four hours max, I usually go for around two to three hours a few times a week...it depends.

Meh. I don't mind grinding, but I've got two little kids and plenty to do around the house, so getting a couple hours straight in is a miracle.

For me usually about 3 hrs. If I'm on 2x I can go for about 4 hours (usually after midnight lol)

Mashi

If I`m doing nothing the whole day and am EXTREMELY bored..... maybe 14 hours?
Otherwise, maybe 1-3 hours?
However, My Longest Session was like 70 hours.

I actually bought a 2x coupon to go with the 2x EXp on Demethos. It was certainly fun! But, I ran into a problem... not grinding as long meant less money! Having trouble raising the funds to afford equips. And then I discovered Jr. Cactuses. >_>
But.. this is not something I'm going to do often. It's rare that I can grind for four hours without any interruptions, so I probably won't be spending any more on getting extra EXP.
