Easy(ish) combat levelling

[Scraps]

This is what I found to be the best way to level my combat skill, its easy in that it didn't take grinding through a few levels a day for a handful of xp, instead I could just farm on a single level all day:

[1.] Go to the fire mines, floors 15 and 25 work best because A) they have elevators for quick access and B) they have large open floor plans.
[2.] Look for one of the Advanced Slimes (Slime Mothers) that spawn baby slimes. If you don't find one come back another day, or continue through the mine like normal. If you find two, then RNGesus smiles upon you.
[3.] Clear the floor of other mobs and as much of the stone from the middle of the floor as you like; you will need enough room to move around freely.
[4.] Kite the slime into the centre of the floor and then just start running around them in circles.

• I find being close into the slime works best, as they spawn more slimes when you are close to them
  
• occasionally they will stop spawning slimes if they get too many small slimes under them, if this happens move away as the small slimes are slightly faster and you can kite them out and kill them off without killing the Slime Mother
  
• you can kill off the small slimes as you like or as needed, if you have the lifesteal skill they make for good healing.

[5.] Continue this as long as you like, or can stand the tedium.

Seems like you read my mind, I was about to share this as well :D
Let me add a few more insights: Apparently, all mines on level 15 and 25 spawn exactly 5 monsters each day, which makes it pretty easy to determine if there are big slimes or not. The big slimes do only spawn in the wind mine and fire mine. So far, in the fire mine, I had definitely more occurrences with two big slimes spawning. I haven't tracked the frequency, but it is like around every 6-8 days. So I only stay if I get two to spawn as it is much more effective. I also use bombs to clear most of the area and just for the rest - especially where the big slimes wander around - with the pickaxe so that I don't damage them. It is still a tedious skill to level, ngl. I guess if you are really desperate for some xp, you could just farm the 40 monsters on all the levels 15 and 25, however, for 20 monsters I measure only like a mean of 6 XP per monster or around 125 in total. So, you are better off, using the slime spawns. This also helps in farming slimes for the slime of replication ;)

Another update: I got a triple spawn today. However, I found it difficult to manage them efficiently, so I got around 1600 XP for a day while with the double spawn I am able to get around 1800 on a day.

they nerfed this so now you can get only a few hundred exp MAX per day doing this

CI is a good game, don't get me wrong. But even back during early access (which technically this still is) nerfing is what the devs seem best at. Lol.

Put on the warriors ring that gives large increase to defense as you do it and you won't be damaged by them . I'm currently farming them to make the replication to have a 16 row of each ore and kelp production and having the conveyor belt chest with it helps

If you also can get yourself surrounded and soft locked kinda where you see your person running that direction and not moving you can make them start being shot out in a direction without needing to run all over being close and not having the fast run on will help keep you from being pushed out as you move one direction
