Grenade Leveling Guide

[League]

As long as the grenades are easy to level up, they're my cup of tea. I really loved them after I got Long Volley...

[Crimson Rose]

I'm not sure if this was covered, because I haven't had time to read through the whole thread, but here goes:

I'm leveling up grenades in Isla Tormenta right now, blowing up Davy Jones' crew in a repetitive fashion. Here is what I have found.

If you get the right distance away from a target and have the red circle showing under it, when you throw the grenade they will dodge to the left, and usually escape the blast.

What I do is, before I throw I hold down the right mouse button, ease the view to one side or the other just until the red circle disappears. Then I throw the grenade. It lands beside them and does full damage, and they don't react until then. Then I will grenade them further if they are knife-throwers or grenadiers, or pull out another weapon if they come rushing at me.

For the sword-wielders, I hit them with throwing knives. It takes a lot of hits, but then again you get a lot of rep for killing them slowly. The rep gets spread out over your grenades and knives (but about 75-80% on the knives.)

Another trick I like to do is to use the long volley on a target, the same as above, just to the side. Then, as the target comes rushing up, I lob a grenade at regular distance. They usually run right into the blast, and it finishes them off.

I love grenades. I hardly ever lose hit points when I'm using them.

Hmm, I'll have to try that.

Another tactic is to lob a grenade at regular range, then start backing up. The target tends to lag a few steps behind. When I lob the next grenade, it is usually close enough to the target to damage him, but not me. Works pretty good most of the time.

The best fun is against the grenade-throwing undead. They stand off at perfect throwing range - of course - but I usually throw three grenades to their one. Often it's more like 2 or 3 to their none.

I'm trying to master grenade and dagger right now. With sword-wielding creatures, I hit them with a grenade just to one side - as above - then use throwing knives to finish them off, while backing up.

Great guide...thanks...I was just about to post to see if anyone had tips...if you ever see me in the game and say hi...you've got a friend for this one!

This helped a ton! Although I was not as tedious with the non-grenade rep while proceeding through the quest, I was able to level my grenades up to level 21 in just a few days before they grayed out.

I have now been on the beach of Padres fighting gypsy after gypsy, I use a few hex eater shots so they don't attack, then lob my entire arsenal of smoke grenades, then finish them off with the fire grenades, yielding 100 rep each gypsy. What's great is the shop for more grenades and hex eaters is located very close. This is slower then what Kingshead use to do at a low level, but I find this a great way to get from the point when the Vets gray out to mastery. Just a few more days on this beach and I'll master them.

That would be because of your notoriety is too high. As I can see in your signature, you have a notoriety of 34, which is going to make the veterans on Kingshead give very little rep.

Thanks for taking the time to create this guide. I am so glad I was told about it right after I got my grenades. I followed it ( for my pirate it was 8 posts over and 8 steps back, far left Vet head lined up just under my left shoulder- that was my sweet spot -) and got to level 20 in no time. Huzzahs for Bilgepump!

[Dr. Zeppers]

This has been pretty popular/useful.. I think i'll sticky it

Done!

[Sarah]

Thanks for the sticky Zep

and tandy tandy tandy....Take Care of that one eye. LOL (Grats on lev 20, that was fast)

[sammyh]

good guide. yet its near impossible to do it now with the unlimited weekend... when i got there i was the only one there but as soon as i got behind the fence about 37 noobs came bursting through the fence and attacking everything i was trying to kill. and, well, this happened on EVEERY SINGLE SERVER. i will try this when the weekend clears up.

[Mr.LoveLocket]

ur so right! ^^ my nades need work and when i reached kingshead boom! i saw about 12 people using explosives. There was only one server i could use which was guyago and man i was there for 2 minutes and people starting coming [annoyed]

I am lucky being on the west coast. When its late for me, its wee hours of the morning for everyone else. I always find areas to level.
