9DR Guides - Psycological guide to grinding : 9Dragons Guides, Bots & Tools

"It seems to me that everyone in 9Dragons is too busy grinding/leveling/farming/whatnots, and no one have time to stay around and chat. As a result (based on observations from other MMORPGs), people get tired of grinding when they don't get what they want, and leave. This guide is designed to assist an individual in stress reduction, increasing the fun factor, and prevent carpel tunnel syndrome. It does not contain any actual leveling locations, positions, tips, strategies, "how to leech off your party", and the like. The author is accepting questions, comments, and rude remarks.

So, without further ado: here's the useful bit.

Stress factor: Let us first look at your mind. Your mind works just like every other human being. We're happy when we get stuff we want, we're sad when we don't get stuff we want, and we get angry when we die while grinding due to lag/whatnots.

While grinding, stress builds up in your mind. Some people can tolerate more buildup, some people less. As you become more and more frustrated, it'll hurt you much more then that bear you're pounding into the dirt.

Here are a few general tips/reminders that I think will help a few individuals, should they come across this post greatly.

-Time. You'd be surprised how fast time goes by.or how slow time seem to move. Socializing helps immensely when leveling. Just be careful of chatlag or chatdeath (happened to me on more then one occasion, even at my low level, xP)

-Location. If there's 2432423423423 other players grinding at your spot. It's probably NOT a good idea to go there. Try to avoid conflict by moving.

-Mindset. Now, instead of smashing your keyboard in frustration, try having a positive mindset.

Take things with a grain of salt, remember it's a game. When you find yourself losing patience, press the nice F12 button and log out. Go outside, take a breath of fresh air. Do something else. When you're positive, everything else would seem more positive, and it's beneficial to you, if not to the guy next to you.

Bad idea: "OMG. GOD. PLZ. I NEED [insert item here]" or "IF I DON'T GET TO [insert level here] IM GONNA BE REALLY ANGRY!"

Better idea: "If I get the stuff, it's good." or "Chill. It's just a game".

Luck: Here's how luck works. Since 9D does not have even a set drops rate table for us to refer to, I would assume that many things are merely by chance. If your friend/clan buddy/the meditating beggar next door who's lagging everyone up got item X it does not mean that you'll get one. Remember that luck is .luck. It works differently for everyone.
