Endgame Grinding
500,000 emel is a ridiculous asking price. Is there any way of finding this amount quickly?

As well, Galbalan is hitting me for 247 damage per hit. Any ideas as to where to grind?

There are less than 20 bats in that cave .... it's still better and "easier" to go for the exploding bombs even now that I'm lv 52 and they only give you 10 xp point.

Level wise, yes the exploding enemies still are best at 51, after that they become a bit more minimal. For experience only, they aren't so good for gold.

But it's actually better at the end of the game to farm for gold and buy seeds to increase stats. You can get stats via seeds for an equivalent to a level much faster than an actual level and the bats will net you gold much faster You can get the net gain of a level with 1 vitality seed and 3 seeds of strength and defense on average. Spend a half an hour farming gold with the bats, you'll have enough for that easily as long as you also equip the banded mail and thief's glove. Seriously, you get a bit over 4k gold per run in that room, with a maxed out lightning sword you can wipe out all the bats in two hits of the lightning magic and that takes little time.

If you are going for beating Maijuun, all you need are stats and you'll get them much faster farming for gold than experience. I was able to beat it at level 52 because I farmed like mad for gold to get my stats to an equivalent for what you'd be at with a much higher level. 321 strength and 298 defense. Time attack has 320 strength and 302 defense. That;s what you need, you don't need the level 60 that time attack has to pull it off.

I'm not playing time attack so I can only purchase vitality seeds

Then you gotta grind up to like 53-54

Grinding the bats and the bomb enemies until level 33(Maxed out the wallet twice) I ended up with about 332 attack, 336 defense and 630 health after accessories.(All Emelas Gear, Max Swords, and Isha charm)

Was able to comfortably beat Majunun on one life like that. You probably don't even have to go that far. Was neat seeing Ernst do like 1-3 damage per hit in the final boss encounter on Nightmare tho. lol

First Phase Ark lasers still ♥♥♥♥ you up tho

A big advantage you have in non-catastophe runs though is that you can bring capla waters into the fight. Which makes it alot easier. just try to manage them to when your magic and health are both near empty to maximize the health and burst damage. Which makes it alot easier. You can also use that revive charm since it's better used there than the final boss which is much easier.
