I made it in 1 day, maybe i did go a little hard style... But still didn't need any pots or what ever. Its pretty easy, ofcourse every mmo has it grinds, but i like the holic grind, because it can be very rewarding. Good drops <3 But your doing something wrong, if you grinding at lvl 9-10. There plenty of quest out there. But if you still have trouble grinding, just go party style ^^. I've got like 4 chars now, highest lvl 26, my monk. And the hardest class too solo is a priest, mine is lvl 18 atm and its hard ^^ but still fun.
