Hello, i looked for "best ways" to level my pet and everyone says different basically.
Could someone tell me basically what i need to level the pet the fastest/smoothest without dying to spiders?
Im a warrior lvl 55 rn, some people told me to lvl 60 and go sd3 with fear mask,bio and etc, other people told me to stay at 55 and level it.

Use EXP Rings even if u have Cursed ur EXP to not Level. Ur pet benefits from ALL EXP Bonus earning if nothing changed since i played the last time.

Dont stress urself too. if ur are lvl 55 then u get ur pet easy to lvl 100. Just be patient, do leveling session when U have Faction EXP bonuses or when other event with Bonus EXP running. Farm pet exp rings and prepare ur session. If u dont have then i gonna need a buff with ATLEAST g1 blessing and crit, that help not to die alot.

% chance to absorb HP is very Big, get an ebony bracelet with 10% HP absorb and 20% strong vs spiders. that alone should booserr survivability.

BUT i havent done the the grind yet, im prepare for a lvl 40 pet level grind. If anything is wrong i wrote here anyone is free to correct me tho.

Hello!

I had the same problem as you. At lvl 55 with decent items, I just could not resist very well, not even in SD2, let alone in SD3.

So I decided to go lvl 60 and benefit from the Phoenix Shoes and the lvl 60 helmet (both with block bonuses).

My character is warrior AURA. I have P Aura and G1 Berserk (but I dont use berserk when leveling the pet in SD3 as it increases the damage I receive). To compensate, i use Green potions L.

I have around 17k HP, 80% Arachnids, +8 Fear Mask and Phoenix Shoes, around 20% absorbed by HP, lvl 40 shield with extra 10% block and 20% EXP. Also, FMS with 43% avg damage and 10% arachnids. My buff has G1 Blessing and M7 Crit.

To summarize: HP, block bonus (shield + phoenix shoes+ lvl 60 helm), % of damage absorbed by HP, arachnids bonus, imune on shield, stun chance (if possible) and Large Green potions. Also, P skill on main and at least G1 blessing on buffer.

With this setup I can tank 1 full room at a time in SD3 (i dont stand in the centre. I noticed that staying close to any pillar tends to be better and more efficient that dragging the spiders in the corner. This way i do less moves when going from room to room).

I wrote this so you can have an idea of what are the stats/equipment you should aim to, if you are a warrior aura. Weapon suras may have an easier life.

At the moment, my pet is lv 93.

As for exp rings and stuff - best combo is IM exp ring (that lasts 1 week, whether you are playing or not) + EXP ring (30 minutes) + pet exp ring (1 hour).

Good luck!

If you can i heard lvl 60 metins are great XP
well, 60s are a bit tough but if i use horse skill or tp to shaman next to me (once) i kill them, sometimes i dont even need to run from mobs during the metin. The thing is that at lvl 60metins i get 5-7% exp per metin for my pet at level 64rn, and from metins lvl 65 i get 3-5% exp per metin, plus i find 65 metins easier than 60s (i think there is more 65's than 60's in general or i just dont know the spots of 60's that well)
Not sure if its worth going for 60s when i can kill 65's for decent exp as well.

That is true, i can find more 65s than 60. Im currently level 45 with g7 aos and g5 berserk. Buff g1 but im thinking about moving to 55 once i get the gear. idk why but my drops for 65 metins at 45 is trash but more exp that 55

Hey,

Currently i decided to stay 55 because leveling to 60 is going to be too early and im gonna lose content for sure. I wont be farming efficiently at lvl 60 due to the fact that i most likely wont be able to farm easily in fireland/ghost forest.
Phoenix shoes are from lvl 55 so ive already got them +6 with hp crit and arrow
im an warrior as well, still at m7 aura tho, ive got G buffs on shaman
i recently got new shield, 41+9 with 6block stun and 20arachnid, ive gotten myself 33+8 ebony bracelet with 2khp 5abs and 10arachnid

I think i stand at almost 17k hp, 60 arachnid and 508 defence, i dont know if its enough for sd3, havent tried with this new gear pieces yet.

Of course its trash ;d best drop is considered -15lvls, so basically that means *as far as i know* - For 65 lvl metins, lvl 50 is supposed to get the best drop. You as lvl 45, have no job at 65 metins because even tho u are able to kill them u dont get the best loot, u will get better loot at 60's (if u can kill them). Even -12/-10/-8 levels of metin is considered fine, but being above -15 is way too much in my opinion. Your char is strong enough to be able to go 55, you dont need to have 54+9 gear or smth to be lvl 55 (imo) u probably have same gear at 45 than ppl at 55.
Btw thats my opinion and thats what i did, so im no professional :D
