I just turn lvl70 and change to wizard. Heard that medusa is the best exp mobs for chars at around my level. I go there and can farm it without problems - until the evil knife starts to hit me. There is no way for me to kill one knife. Sometimes I can't even run away. How to safely farm medusa without the annoying knife?

switch servers to one without so many swords, or go to a section further down then the first medusa junction go down past the first overpass on the left hand side theres less medusa, but even less swords

4 Good spots
1. Left side as you enter Area 1. Rarely see sword here unless someone drags them
2. hug left wall and go pass the opening (may have sword At opening lol)
3. Right before exiting Are 1 to Area 2
4. left side as you enter Area 2
Also, if you have decent HP gear (or higher level) what you do is Drain medusa (or 2) and then drain sword and attack sword until dead. 2 medusa HP battery Should keep you alive as long as you can take at least 2 hits from sword. I would even go as far as doing away with MATK gear and go HP+def instead unless you know you can handle a sword without them (probably not until L80s). IIRC between getting L70 and finally posting here about it, I gained 3 levels on those guys + TIQ lol

For hp gear, I can wear damascus armor, s bangle, and a helm (can't remember name but +hp based on my INT and STR). Together I have about 3.4k HP. Can take about 3~4 hits from sword. But its atk speed seems to be faster than Drain. I will try this today. |

Yes, that's why you need those "HP batteries" lol, so that you're Drain is ticking from 2-3 mobs usually at different times so you have "faster" drain. IIRC, I was L100 (w pretty sub-par gear) before I could "solo" a Sword without having to drain a medusa first. |

Exp from medusa and the quest is good enough for me, at least for now. I am a bit worried about spina. Can farming medusa give me good spina reward? |

Also, how long do you suggest me farm medusa? Lvl 100? I have 4stars EXP fortune today and medusa gives me 5k exp. Seem a lot to me now but not sure later on.

Well, first off make sure you have the quest from Saterica. That'll add to your XP/hour. Just suicide after getting the # of kills for faster town return. Money is OK but nothing spectacular. I tried to sell poisoned dagger (from TIQ) but ended up just filling my storage as no one buys it (unless you get lucky with a 2s). They drop dark beads too, which can be sold for 10K now. At L80 you can try ATG (Awaiting the Goddess) from Kleya/Inje Cave but without good PT you're better off repeating Medusa until L100 or so. |
