No idea what zone you are in. Just look at the mobs in the zone you are in and see if any are strong to whatever weapon you are using or have regen/healing tp move or have lots of def. You can also grab lots and just try not to kill them all or maybe stand just close enough so that hopefully you aggro another one prior to the ones you have being killed, but thats really iffy. In general mandies hit fast and have regen. Bees have pollen, but have final sting. rabbits have wild carrot and hit fast.
Equip all your pdt/regen gear and equip regen atma or ducal guard + regen and then goto sleep. You may consider using a shield to mitigate some dmg.
In general a war using retaliation and defender will get you skill ups faster due to the counter. At least when you are actively pushing buttons.
Honestly though, if you do this every night and you will still get there eventually.
This Thank you....to the others im sorry that i forced your tiny brains to think so now let me spell it out:
I FELL CLEAVE MASS TIME WHILE FARMING POPS: to do this i use a capped Great Axe skill, I use retaliation ect. Thus it should be assumed that the weapons im looking to skill up are not those you would use every day.
Baised on the above i did sit in front of game and skill up Great Axe, Axe and Great Sword. Mass pull retaliation is indeed your friend when skilling up however that is not what im looking for
when doing other stuff i come across a assist called abyssea time now if i zone out of abyssea that time is wasted, (are you still with me?)
if i just sit in the zone when Real Life stuff happens abyssea time is wasted still (If you dont know what real life stuff is: sleep work school sorry some people cant live in moms basement forever)
thus what im after is to take advantage of this mass amount of time to lvl up a weapon like club, staff, hand to hand and other ***that will not be used on a daily bases while im doing Real Life stuff.
So in closing for the slow people the original question now has been spelled out all i wanted was this the quote above (thank you Pukushu)
what mobs stay alive the longest while doing this that im already doing on stuff that dies too fast thus what is best mob to afk on for long periods of time. And those who say "oh you just wanna skill up lazy way" no i DONT WANNA WASTE ALL THAT ABYSSEA TIME THAT I EARNED!!!!!!
