Most EXP per HP at every level

Calculated from game data

For each level we take every live monster from 5 levels below you to 2 levels above you and rank them by EXP per HP: how much EXP you get for each point of damage you deal. The numbers come straight from the game data.

This is a shortlist, not a training route. EXP per HP doesn't measure how fast you kill (that depends on your class, skills and gear), how many monsters actually spawn and how fast, how far the map is from town and potions, how crowded it is on your channel, or whether you can hit the monster at all (accuracy). Two monsters with the same EXP per HP can be very different in practice. For recommendations that weigh those factors, use our training guides and the training page for your job.
