Grinding is at the heart of L2M Diamonds. Whether you're farming Adena, skill books, or experience, most players spend countless hours battling mobs. But here's the problem: many players either run out of HP pots too fast, die mid-grind, or struggle to sustain long farming sessions.

In this guide, inspired by tips from the Akita Gaming community, we'll break down the best tricks to grind efficiently, save resources, and even farm 24/7. By the end, you'll understand which class to use, the best equipment, skills to prioritize, and how to set up your character for nonstop hunting.

Now, let's dive into the grinding strategy.

Why Efficient Grinding Matters

I know what you're thinking: "Grinding is just killing mobs, right?" Not exactly. Inefficient farming leads to wasted pots, slower EXP gain, and less Adena per hour. If you're serious about progression, you need a setup that allows you to:

 Stay alive without burning through red pots.

 Sustain MP so your skills don't run dry.

 Deal consistent damage to maximize kills per hour.

 Farm in high-density zones without downtime.

The secret? Choosing the right class and equipment setup.

Step 1: Switch to the ORB Class

If you want to grind for hours-or even set up 24-hour farming-your best bet is switching to the ORB class (often referred to as ORP in-game communities). Why?

 Self-Healing Ability: ORB has the Heal skill, which restores around 150 HP per cast. This drastically reduces your reliance on health potions. You'll only need pots when mobs hit especially hard.

 Light Attribute Damage: ORB's offensive skill, Mighty Heaven, deals light-element damage. Many monsters in Lineage 2M are weak to light, which gives ORB a natural advantage in farming zones.

 Resource Efficiency: Because you can self-heal, you save Adena that would otherwise be spent on tons of red pots. This extra Adena can then be used to purchase purple skill books or equipment upgrades.

Even top-tier "sultan" players prefer ORB for farming sessions. Its balance of damage and sustain makes it the most practical grinding class in the game.

Step 2: Buy All Essential Green Skills

Switching to ORB isn't enough-you'll need the right skills to maximize efficiency. The good news is that green skills are relatively affordable and can be purchased in Gludio Village.

Here are the six must-have skills for ORB grinding:

1.ORB Mastery-Boosts overall effectiveness of the class.

2.Mighty Heaven-Core offensive light-attribute attack.

3.Wild Magic-Enhances magical power.

4.Face Move-Mobility skill for repositioning.

5.Aura Ball-Extra damage skill for consistent DPS.

6.(Optional Cure Skill)-Not a priority, since it mainly removes debuffs.

The total cost is roughly 2 million Adena. Sounds pricey? Not really-if you're grinding properly, you can make up to 5 million Adena per day, meaning this investment pays itself off in less than half a day of farming.

Step 3: Gear Up with the Karmian Set

Your grinding gear is just as important as your class and skills. For efficient farming, nothing beats the Karmian Set, which includes:

 Karmian Tunic

 Karmian Gloves

 Karmian Shoes

 Why the Karmian Set?

 Set Effect: Defense +3 and WIS +2.

 WIS Bonus: WIS directly boosts MP recovery, skill damage, and overall sustain.

 Individual Bonuses: Each piece also gives additional MP regen, which is crucial for nonstop skill casting.

In short, this set keeps your MP bar stable so you're not running dry mid-fight. It's the go-to gear for almost every serious grinder in Lineage 2M.

For weapons, you don't need to overthink. Many players still use green +8 weapons, which are often better than failed blue upgrades (like blue +6). Stability and consistency are more important than gambling on risky enchantments early on.

Step 4: Skill Setup for Auto-Hunting

One of Lineage 2M's strengths is auto-combat, but if you don't configure it properly, your character might waste resources or even die.

Here's how to set it up for maximum efficiency:

Healing Interval

 Go into your settings and adjust the heal skill interval.

 Example: If your character is taking steady damage, set healing to every 4–5 seconds.

 If you're barely taking hits, stretch the interval further to save MP.

Damage Rotation

 Prioritize Mighty Heaven and Aura Ball for consistent DPS.

 Keep Aura Flash (available at higher levels) active-it's an AoE skill with a super short cooldown (0.5 seconds), making it great for mob farming.

Experiment and Adjust

 Each hunting spot is different. Test different heal intervals and skill setups to find the balance between sustain and kill speed.Step 5: Save Pots, Save Adena

One of the main goals of efficient grinding is pot conservation. With ORB's healing, you should rarely need to buy health pots. This savings adds up quickly, giving you more Adena for important purchases:

 Purple Skill Books (essential for endgame progression).

 Crafting Materials for advanced gear.

 Enchant Scrolls for stable upgrades.

Think of ORB grinding as a long-term investment-it's not just about surviving, but also about redirecting resources toward growth.

Step 6: Long-Hour Grinding (24/7 Setup)

Yes, it's possible to grind around the clock in Lineage 2M. Here's how to make it work:

Choose the Right Spot

 Pick areas with mobs that are weak to light.

 Avoid zones with mobs that deal overwhelming burst damage unless you're geared well.

Check Auto Settings

 Make sure your skills, heals, and pots are configured correctly before leaving the game on autopilot.

Use MP-Friendly Gear

 Stick with Karmian for sustain.

 Add accessories like Phoenix Earrings (for MP recovery) if you have them.

Monitor Occasionally

 Even in 24/7 grind setups, check in every few hours to ensure your character isn't stuck, dead, or burning through MP.

ORB vs. Other Classes for Grinding

Why not just use a high-DPS class like Archer or Mage? The issue is sustain. Those classes may farm fast for short periods, but they'll run out of MP or pots quickly.

ORB, on the other hand, offers the perfect balance of damage and healing. You don't need to constantly restock, meaning more consistent EXP and Adena per hour.

That said, if you only play ORB for grinding, you can always switch back to your main class later. The Karmian set works universally, so you won't lose progress.

Final Thoughts

Efficient grinding in Lineage 2M isn't just about damage-it's about sustain. By switching to ORB, buying the right green skills, and equipping the Karmian set, you can farm for hours (even days) without worrying about dying or wasting Adena on pots.

 ORB's Heal skill keeps you alive.

 Mighty Heaven and Aura Flash deliver fast, light-element damage.

 Karmian gear ensures endless MP regen.

 Smart auto-hunting settings maximize uptime and save resources.

So, whether you're aiming for 24-hour farming or just want to stop burning through pots, this method is hands-down the best strategy in L2M Diamonds for sale.
