I want to grind experience points for my Bhaalspawn but I want to do it in a way that isn't cheating

[Guest Jimmy]

You know, I used to just sit on the walls of Saradush with bows and just let my group auto attack the firegiants to grind experience points for a few hours while I went away from the game. Could do that until the whole group was at 30 million experience each if I wanted. I'd like to do something like this but a bit more fair. Any suggestions? I seem to recall the gladiator fights in the underdark, though I think it is too simple and unprofitable to catch my interest in doing long term. Also there was a type of arena/maze thing you could teleport to in Planescape Torment, and I remember it named as the Nodrom maze. Black pits is fun too, but I think it is separate from BG2EE?

There's the console or some third-party utility if you just want to skip to the point.

Just add quest mods that give you more content and this more XP... then you don’t even have to actually grind!

The Trials of the Luremaster prestige dungeon from IWD can be added to BG2EE, as can a version of P:ST’s Modron Maze. Plus Back to Brynnlaw, The Sellswords; Lava’s mods like Tales of Deep Gardens, The White Queen, Innershade, Southern Edge, and Ooze’s Lounge; Fishing for Trouble; TDDz; and more. Plenty of NPC mods have quests with a dollop of XP, too.

Less grinding, more adventuring!

I don't mind some grinding as long as the game doesn't break. I think I'm bad at making mods work together. Every time I go overboard and weird stuff happens. Conversations get mixed up or do not seem to end, quests and abruptly, and party members will stutter to face toward some other group member and I guess that means that something is malfunctioning.

I don't know what you mean. Are you suggesting that I teleport my bhaalspawn to the black pits? I hadn't realized I could do that.

I meant that you could use Near Infinity or the console or save file editing to give yourself the desired amount of EXP.

Fission slimes and black puddings may also give you the EXP loop you seek.

You could also play EET, make the party you want in Black Pits 2/Shadows of Amn/Throne of Bhaal, export them, then import them into your game so you'll start at a higher level.

please be a rickroll please be a rickroll

 

(EDIT - to explain, I was on a phone and could not mouseover to see where that link goes. When someone links to "grind to your satisfaction," boy would a rickroll be preferable to the alternative...)

 

(EDIT 2 - okay I'm on a computer now so I can mouseover to see where the link goes, and I definitely still don't want to click it.)
