Guide The Many Grind Spots Of Molten Heights

THERE'S A LOT OF THEM NOW
Special thanks to @Selvut283 for making grinding from Level 90+ 1000x less painful in this update!

Spoiler: Fire Scarab Caves

Fire Scarab Caves

Mob Levels: 87
Risk: Low
Spawn Rate: Very High
XP- Fire Scarabs: 400-440
Elements to use: Water
Ranged Mobs?: No.

These locations gives very low experience, but the high spawn rate makes them better for Loot grinding than XP grinding. The mobs spawn very often and do low damage.

Coordinates: 1313 16 -5053 or 1454 15 -5353

Spoiler: The Demon's Lair

The Demon's Lair

Mob Levels: 96
Risk: Very High
Spawn Rate: High
XP- Infernal/Harbringer Demons: 2200-2290, Dark Balrog: 11700-13000
Elements to use: Earth/Water
Ranged Mobs?: Yes.

This location gives a lot of xp, around 5000 per kill with cosmic armour, and a very high spawn rate. The mobs hit extremely hard, so use the invincibility from the loot chest near the entrance wisely.

Coordinates: 1377 8 -5070

Spoiler: Freezing Heights

Freezing Heights

Mob Levels: 90-94
Risk: High
Spawn Rate- Frosted Guards: Very High, Master Ice Mage: Very Low, Other Mobs: Low
XP- Frosted Guard: 900-940, Freezing Stone Golem(92): 920-1050, Freezing Stone Golems(93): 950-1090, Antipode: 1020-1150, Light Ice Mage: 920-990, Dark Ice Mage: 920-990, Master Ice Mage: 2000-2200, Young Water Drake: 2450-2600, Young Ice Drake: 4000-4350
Elements to use: Fire/Thunder
Ranged Mobs?: The mage mobs are, but they spawn so rarely that it shouldn't be much of an issue.

We all know about this spot, it's still an amazing place to grind. Additionally, Flarelings spawn in here a lot, so you'll get lots of powders from grinding if you're lucky.

Coordinates: 1452 11 -5421

Spoiler: Molten Knight Temple

The Molten Knight Temple

Mob Levels: 89-92
Risk: High
Spawn Rate- Molten Knights: High, Molten Archers: Low, Molten Madoshis: Low, Molten Golems: Average, Dark Molten Knights: Low
XP- Molten Archer: 400-440, Molten Madoshi: 830-900, Molten Golem: 910-1000, Molten Knight: 2550-2800, Dark Molten Knight: 2720-3200
Elements to use: Water
Ranged Mobs?: Only the Archers and Madoshis, and they spawn rarely and do minimal damage. Shouldn't be an issue.

There are a lot of mobs here at all times, so it can be hard to pick up loot. Don't get too cocky or you'll get trapped in a mob of Molten Knights.

Coordinates: 1398 69 -5596

Spoiler: The Balrog's Lair

The Balrog's Lair

Mob Levels: 88-92
Risk: Average
Spawn Rate- Ignis: High, Charring Beast: Low, Balrog: Very Low
XP- Charring Beast: 830-900, Ignis: 910-1000, Balrog: 6000-6800
Elements to use: Water (Balrog is weak to Earth)
Ranged Mobs?: No.

This location is decent for xp, and has a Tier III loot chest as well. It's where the Phoenix Nest used to be.

Coordinates: 1546 89 -5650

Spoiler: The Pyret Cave

The Pyret Cave

Mob Levels: 89-92
Risk: Low
Spawn Rate: Pyrets: Average, Smoke Serpents: Low
XP- Pyret: 830-950, Smoke Serpent: 920-1050
Elements to use: Earth/Thunder
Ranged Mobs?: No.

This location might not give that much experience, but it's nice for laid back grinding or multitasking because the mobs are slow and not too threatening, while still giving decent xp.

Coordinates: 1482 22 -5102

Spoiler: The Obsidian Guard Cavern/The Old Dogun City

The Obsidian Guard Cavern/The Old Dogun City

Mob Levels: 91-95
Risk: Very High
Spawn Rate- Dogun Brutes: High, Obsidian Guards: Average
XP- Crumbling Dogun: 1000-1200, Dogun Brute: 1050-1250, Crumbling Shaman: 3400-3700, Obsidian Guard: 3600-4200
Elements to use: Water/Air
Ranged Mobs?: No.

These mobs hit hard, especially the Obsidian Guards. They give lots of xp, but DO NOT let your guard down.

Coordinates: 1252 72 -5619 or 1525 81 -5069

Spoiler: The Azer Cliff

The Azer Cliff

Mob Levels: 93
Risk: Average
Spawn Rate- All Mobs: Average
XP- Azer Footsoldier: 920-1050, Azer Ironmage: 940-1030, Azer Vanquisher: 1000-1040, Azer Taskmaster: 3200-3300
Elements to use: Water/Air
Ranged Mobs?: No.

These mobs spawn frequently and give decent xp and loot, the only issue is that they drop their armour when they die so it's hard to tell what drops you can pick up and what drops you can't.

Coordinates: 1428 47 -5211

 

but there's still nothing better than freezing heights, as i can see

 

The Demon's Lair is way better, and so is the Obsidian Guard Cave.
All of them are good, so now freezing heights won't have 9287049 players in it at all times.

 

Which are both 'High Risk' locations. If they're ranged mobs, i'm not grinding there. If they take too long to kill, i'm not grinding there. For me Freezing Heights is just right, since you can camp, there's no ranged mobs and they are 1-2 shotted.

 

The Obsidian Guards and Dogun Brutes are not ranged, they just hit extremely hard.
Here, I'll add if the mobs are ranged or not in the spoilers.

EDIT: I added it, does that help?

 

High-risk, high reward is the name of the game. Just sitting in the Heights where you can't be touched and spamming ranged spells, isn't that boring? Now there's places where you can still grind effectively, but actually have some danger involved, a bit of excitement, and be rewarded as such.

 

Do you think you can change the xp/k to how much you get with unaltered XP bonus? Because I only got 600-700 per kill for most of these.

 

Omfg...
This is cool...
Thanks!

 

Oh wow, they changed some of the caves? I gotta see this

 

WOOHOOO NEW SPOTS YESS THANKS SELVUT

 

I like the sound of that :D
High risk High reward IS pretty exciting. I might want to check out these places today!

And also Salamander cave/tunnel. It's under the 3x3 piston door that leads to a T3 near Azer cliff and magma entity cave.

 

That's been there for a while.

 

o well is any of those better than da black dragonlings?

 

Demon's Lair has around the same xp, and they die faster in my experience. It depends on which you prefer fighting: Would you rather battle melee mobs with the pull spell, or powerful ranged mobs?

________________________________

There are still more casual grinding locations, like the Pyret Cave, so if you'd rather take it slow and easy, you can.
They just don't give as much xp.

Ripped straight from their mob sheets. There ya go.

 

Finally I can grind... But I won't because I'm a lazy fuck.

 

I'm really glad there are more now, that means less arguing over spots and more peaceful grinding.

 

Updated the thread with these stats!

 

and yay we don't need thunder or fire anymore
