Grinding is killing the same monsters (mobs) repeatedly for exp and/or loot...
eg:
Say you're in duskwood, you kill undead repeatedly:
"Grinding the undead in duskwood"
"Grinding plaugespreaders in duskwood" etc
Grinding can get boring real fast, but post 35ish, its imo, the quickest way to level.... (with a little STV thrown in for good measure)
to add to the abbrevs
BRD = Blackrock Depths
STV = Stranglethorn Vale
BB = Booty Bay
MT = miss tell (when someone posts in the wrong channel by mistake, not sure how many people use this tho) ("sorry MT")
