Re:AOPG Grind Tier List

What the Grind Tier List Is

The Grind Tier List is the meta ranking of every build in Re:AOPG for sustained XP-per-hour grinding. The list ranks each build by XP gain rate over a 1-hour focused session. For the broader PvP-focused rankings, see the PvP tier list. For raid-focused rankings, see the raid tier list.

Why Berserker Armor Dominates Grinding

The Berserker Armor support is the top support for sustained XP grinding because of three passives.

1. Regen-drain on every hit:

• Every successful hit drains enemy HP regen.
• Enemies die faster because they cannot heal.
• Total XP/minute increases by roughly 20%.

2. Permanent debuff stacking:

• Each hit stacks a permanent debuff on the enemy.
• The debuff reduces enemy damage by 5% per stack.
• Total enemy survivability drops roughly 30% in long fights.

3. Self-heal on kill:

• Each enemy kill grants a small self-heal.
• The self-heal keeps you at full HP for sustained farming.
• Eliminates downtime between kills.

The Berserker Armor pairs with the Primal Saiyan guide and the multiverse style tier list.

How to Maximize XP Per Hour

The fastest way to maximize XP per hour:

1. Redeem the full 2x code stack from working codes.
2. Build the S-tier grind build (Perfect Lunarian + Control + Dragon Talon + Berserker Armor).
3. Use the level calculator to find your optimal zone.
4. Pull one mob at a time and clear the immediate respawn ring.
5. Bank every Awakening Stone drop.
6. Reset server if your XP stack drops below 2x.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Grinding in a non-meta zone — your zone choice is the single biggest XP/hour variable.
• Using a non-S-tier build — the S-tier builds add 30-40% XP/hour.
• Skipping the 2x code stack — the stack cuts roughly 40% off the grind time.
• Selling Awakening Stones — they are end-game currency, not mid-game Beli.
• Ignoring the getting started checklist — first-time setup matters more than zone choice.
